Collegium S.S. et Individuae Trinitatis in Academia Cantabrigiensi A PETITION THOUGH THE lords chancellors of both universities, & to all the noble LL. of Albion & jerne, to help reformation of errors bred by not Knowing that To Katelthein eye ado in the Crede meaneth A going up to Paradise: & no going to Gehenna: nor feeling of Gehenna torment. The ignorance of which article hath wrought much ruin to the Gospel: Where men give over all resistance. D. BANCROFT complained, R. H. to the LL. of Amsteldam, when j was preaching at Middelburg, that j called him Athean, villain, jew, traitor. To these four j must answer. For the three first: he is no further charged than an allower of the common notes: & so long the King cannot help him. The jew Pharar hath caught him. Let him accept my defence for him, printed, & sent him, then if he any wit have, he will swear that my pen cleareth him from all blames which he would fasten upon himself. Now touching the treason of the Libel: The Earl of Argiles cousin German, which was with me at Geneva, told the K. how the senators showed him, that upon Bancroftes libel, scoffing my hope in the scottish mist, a plot was Laid to kill me: hindering some hopes more than 40000 soldiersâ–Ş & 300. french crowns were offered me to hasten away: j believed it not, till it came so near that even Beza made account j should never go away All this, upon Bancroft his scophing of the Scottish mist. Touching the Divinity that to Descend to Hell in the Crede is to go yp to Heaven: your honours see, that D. Bilson hath most mightily proved that: so Bancroft allowing Bilson scoffeth himself: when he scoffeth that which D. Bilson proved to be most sure: that he must be a most open atheist scoffing himself in the depth of Divinity, or the K. must be the matter of his Libel: as the K. often swore in Scotland, that I should have what I would: for my dangers in his cause. And thus I answer. when the K. hath given sentence, he may mot plead against that. I hope the K. will bridle him from that: by your Lps honourable advertisement: & remember his vowed recompense. Your Lordslips most humble. Hugh Broughton.
