Two little works defensive of our Redemption, That our Lord went through the veil of his flesh into Heaven, to appear before God for us.  
Which journey a Talmudist, as the Gospel, would term, a going up to Paradise: But heathen Greek, a going down to Hades, and Latin, Descendere ad inferos.  
Wherein the unlearned barbarous anger God and man, saying, That jesus descended to HELL: and yield unto the blasphemous jews by sure consequence upon their words, That he should not be the Holy one of God.  
BY HUGH BROUGHTON.  If any man love not the Lord JESUS, let him be Anathema Maran Atha. 1. COR. 16. 
1604.   

To the Reader.  
BY knowing that Hades, a term used in the Creed, is the place general, where souls are before God's throne, divided there, fat enough, by heaven & hell, so that in speech of the holy, Hades the general, by difference of the Person, is Heaven, and in the wicked, Hell, as we commonly term Hell: which place is on high, out of this world by Apo. 14. & all jews in Cether Malc. fol. 11. by knowing of this great light cometh to Religion. First their opinion falleth, who thank God for sending his son to redeem the Fathers from Hades, to Paradise: that is, from Paradise to Paradise. So Limbus Patrum and Purgatory fall: when Hades hath only two parts, Heaven and Hell. So our madness falleth, who in the Creed, put for that Part of Hades, which holdeth the faithful, and is heaven or Paradise, the part which holdeth the wicked, and put for Heaven, Hell, to which they that go, perish for ever. Here standeth the Article: Our Lord being in body crucified, dead and buried, had a soul immortal, as all men, which went hence to God: & being in Hades, holy, had not hell but heaven. This is all. When the Gospel began scant any held souls immortal. Pliny showeth that. Therefore it was needful the Creed should have it. When the immortality was granted, very many Creeds did omit the article: because in speech of a man, to die & to go to Hades is all one. Of an horse, Greeks would say, he is dead. Of a man, more: He is dead & gone to Hades. This matter unknown hath vexed the world by ignorance of one Greek word. And two Bishops vexed their own. Against whom two small writings follow: besides much otherwise printed & written to them. The style is not of their gall, but it may gall, in mildness.   

The argument of the Admonition following.  
BR. wrote unto Queen Elizabeth, that King Edward the sixth and her Mayest. swearing to the Gospel, swore to this, That to go to Hades in the Creed, was to go to Paradise, even by Heathen Greek: to whom Hades is the world of souls: in which the holy have Paradise, and the godless, Gehenna. Both be on high before God's throne. And Br. commended the cause to Q. Elizabeth's M. and the King of Scots Majesty. Against that a libel was allowed to scoff the Scottish mist, penned by some Belial Bar Lo: and against salvation Bilson raged: as this short work telleth.   

A lie resumed of D. Bilson.  
DOctor Bilson in his sermon book against Master jacob, folio 419. fumeth thus: First then tell your abettor that all the Realm will take him not only for a railer against all honesty, but a liar against all duty that voucheth so confidently: King Edward the sixth and his subjects held that Christ his soul never went to Gehenna: and the Realm knoweth the Qu. oath, as also the Q. adventureth her eternal state. These be no states to come within his unclean mouth. He may do well to remember who they be of whom it is written: They despise government: and speak ill of them that be in authority, as raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame. Thus the D. writeth. Mark now the Zurich confession, which K. Edw. and Queen Eliz. allowed. Per inferos intelligimus non locum supplicij designatum impijs, sed defunctos fideles, quemadmodum per superos adhuc superstites in vitâ. Proinde anima Christi descendit ad inferos, id est, delata est in sinum Abrahae: in quo collecti fuerunt omnes defuncti fideles. Ergo cum Latroni secum crucifixo dixit, hody mecum eris in Paradiso, promisit ei consortium vitae, & beatorum spirituum. Licet enim Dominus descendisse dicatur, fit tamen ex more loquendi. Confitemur in hoc articulo animas esse immortales, easue protinus à morte corporeâ transire ad vitam. This is the Zurick confession, allowed by King Edward and Qu. Elizabeth: So Descending must be granted to be Ascending, and Hell to be Paradise. If our Bishops miss in terms, 
●●t ●o sim●●● ever ●●inke that ●ell, as men commonly ●●ak is hea●●n▪ But if 〈◊〉 fool put ●●ll, by his ●●gue where ●●auen is indeed: a fool ●●●not by vn●●rnedship ●●rne heaven 〈◊〉 Hell The ●arbarous translation ●f the Greek ●reede wt●●ceaved D. ●●●on i● bla●ed: not the ●●e Creed.  they must blame themselves: and not rage with heretical Satanean madness upon such as force them to faith. Now what grace the D. hath in his words, all may soon judge: considering what himself granteth: and how in his escape afterwards he differeth from all the world. This was the question: Whether our Lord's soul went hence to Gehenna: or hence to Paradise: john Cant. and all vexed by him know that, and for one of these two opinions the Prince's religion was to be esteemed. And if I. C. had invented a going from Paradise to Gehenna, Geneveans would have renowned him over the world. Now mark how rightly the right reverend Father and Doctor taketh of himself the lie unto himself, fol 219. We have no warrant in the word of God so to fasten Christ's soul unto Hell for the time of his death, that it might not be in Paradise before it descended into Hell. Now john Cant. will grant, that he damneth them both: and justifieth the adversary, as a Greek Epistle printed at Hannawe required Sir john Fortescue once Queen Elizabeth's greek Reader, to determine, whether both Bishops were not condemned most certainly by their own grant. The ridiculous feigning of a new Satanean fable that our Lord went from Paradise to Gehenna: and to Hades, as from paul's to London, from Winchester to England, from England to Europe, from Europe to this world, from part to the whole: and again, the fable that he went not to Hades, that is, in truth, to the world of souls, till his body was buried: and again his feigning thrice, at Paul's, Hades in S. Matthew, cap. 5. twice, with 10. once, where Gehenna is the text, perverting the original with wresting Scriptures and Fathers to an opinion that never came into holy minds, this excuseth not his Lie, but augmenteth his impiety: that befooleth all Scriptures of God, and all Divines that ever have been in the world. Cursed be he that maketh the blind wander out of the way, and let all the people say, Amen.   

The argument and effect of the Epistle following.  
I. C. was advised in a work dedicated to Queen Elizabeth and to the most Noble, our King now, That he should not burn for gehenna's honour, lest he burned in geheaena's shame for ever and ever: At the first he skoffed all truth of God and the King: but being taught how he was caught in his own syllogism thus: The place which our lords soul went to hence, telleth what Hades (his HELL) meaneth in the Creed: But Paradise is the place which our Lord went to hence: Therefore Paradise is the HELL of the Creed, being taught how he was caught, he sent his chaplain M. Greffrey King, obtaining the Queen's hand for his leave, to agree with his adversary: and he upon agreement, returned presently, saying that he should be sent again: but presently after he came home, he would write. Conditions were not kept. The libel was still sold: and Machmadisme was in it: and a contumelious mockage of Christ and all Christians & jews: when he said Reuben the jew his Hebrew Epistle was forged: whereby he hindered the defence of Christianity, and deserved rooting out▪ Besides that, after the King was ours, Paul's sold the treason of the libel. For not standing to his covenant, three Greek Orations played upon him: and one dedicated to the King and Brettish nation in Queen Elizabeth's days: And after all, this Epistle. At the first sight he laid the blame on Bar Lo, that usurped his authority, as being guiltless: yet when at the Court a Duke showed what he had done, he fell as dead, & soon died. The party grieved was much grieved at his death: because he had protested he never spoke against him. Yet as Ely, so he by softness paid for others blame: while he repressed not bad souls. And his Gentlemen wished Bar Lo unborn: as more grief to the Archbishop then all that ever were his adversaries: not only for his libel against the Scottish mist: full of most deadly treason: and full of blasphemy and lying against God and man: But also for his Satanean declamation at Paul's against the best Nobility, and the best bent for the good of the State: against whom the Iscariot railed and raged: whereby the Nobility justly term him: The vilest that is this day under the cope of heaven: as bend against God, the King, the Nobility, and all humanity. So Bar Lo will be his notation.   

To the aged Sir, JOHN of Canterb. Archbishop, grace and truth.  
MASTER Francis Hall told that your G. deprived M. Pickaerd and him of their benefices, and gave both to Bar Lo (whom he described after his name, a babe most bad) for defending your Gehenna: which heresy of yours was used for a bar, that you were not fit to confirm others, who so erred yourself: against all the Bible, all greeks and Hebrews. That the children which you would have confirmed and you together may be truly firmed herein, behold your own grant in D. Bilson: to whom in Bar Lo his book, your grace & wisdom referreth the unlearned for a learned defence of your mind: which held that the Creed telleth whether our lords soul went hence. And this is your Proposition & mine too: and you will adventure your eternal state upon it, and I mine. This it is: The Place into which our lords soul went hence, is Hades or Hell of the Creed. This position is built upon a rock: that no storm, winds, nor waves can shake it. And if we agree to what place our Lord his soul went hence, we agree what Hades or your Hell is in the Creed. Now to your Proposition, this assumption D. Bilson layeth down, folio 219. Paradise is the place to which our Lord went hence. Therefore by your own grant Hades or Hell in the Creed is Paradise. Seeing then the whole tenor of Moses and the Gospel, cannot move you: seeing the universal judgement of the Hebrews for their own tongue, can not move you: seeing 3000. years heathen Greek cannot move you: and Eulogines Patriarcha 1200. years old, with all other Christian Greekes which do place Abraham in Hades, can not move you, and seeing the Zurick confession, which saith, per Inferos intelligimus non locum supplicij designatum impijs, sed defunctos fideles, & sinum Abrahae can not move you, let your own confession move you: and publish it in print, that the simple deceived by you, may know how you led them to deny that our Lord went through the vail of his flesh into the most holy. Which they that will deny, may as well deny all religion and truth of God. You have most highly injuried the Majesty of God: pretending that Sheol Psal. 16. was the Devils lodge, which no Hebrew ever thought, neither suffereth Moses to think: contemning the Gospel for the hand of God receiving the holy soul of our Lord: perverting sorrows of death into the second death, Act. 2. to befooll all Christianity, turning Saint Paul to Gehennean darkness: where he purposely speaketh of the gospels brightness: in these three injuries you stain all the Bible, while you make some jar from all the rest, and befool the most holy Writers. This your sin is heinous. So your despising of Hebrew DD. For their own tongue, willbe holden of the Scottish mist and Brettish nation, and all nations a brutish part. and no less the rejecting of Heathen Greek, for the Creed penned for heathen: and your restraining of Greek only to Poets: and your teaching as general that Hades in them is ugly, this your learning will be holden babish. Also where D. Bilson rejecteth the world of souls, as checking all jews in their own tongue, his wrangling was senseless: that he knew no place where souls were together. Hath he ever seen in this world all bodies together; other saw them not, yet the speech, this world is currant with all men. And for Hades Macedones call it Heaven. Portus Dictionary would have taught you so much, though you sought no deeper Graetians. And in Clemens Alexandrinus, Hades is jupiter. To your blame for denying the lxx. in Psal. 110. a warrant for the New Test. Greek, you say nothing, as damned. And D. Bilson saith: the Greek Fathers understood not joseph's Haden. Such owls you bring to Athens: and make your Witgifte a scoph to all learned. Also you answer nothing to your blame for saying, that it were better the truth of Daniel were hid, than antiquity should be disgraced for missing. Others thought it a graceless speech. So when you condemn Saint Paul for cursing Ananias, which thing he was bound to do, by express laws, for striking treacherously, and misleading the blind, you check Christ that promised a mouth that no adversary could resist, and befool Moses for making a defence for an open impudent judge. The blind, the deaf, the officers may not lightly be cursed: but in open wilfulness they be cursed, as Saul of David, and Sedechias of Ezechiel, and the pharisees. Mat. 23. Herein you stand at the mercy of God. Moreover touching. Abraham Reuben the jew, you have injuried Christ our Lord, & all Christian's most wickedly. If he had not been answered, all Christians had been worse thought of. Now he & all the jews in the Empire speak better of Christianity. And some by that have been baptised: and one D. told that he would be baptised and come to England: he is the man that prefaced to Aruc. So a rare learned jew, to whom at Basil one gave Rubens epistle, and showed the apostles Talmudical rare skill, he made request to the Professors, when the party was gone, to desire him to return to instruct him more fully: (but the party could not) and afore requested his teacher to translate into Hebrew, as he spoke to him, the new Testament. This deserved better than your language. You say the party feigned that which is written of his praise: and scoph his skill in Hebrew and Greek: and term him an ass, and offer all disgrace. For all, Christians & jews should think you unworthy to have the benefit of Christian policy. And as you know you have the Anathema maran Atha given you. It returneth to the giver if you deserve it not. If your desert be doubtless, you are surely miserable: as in your perpetual untruths and misusing of the realms authority to Satan's slavery. So when you scophed the hope in the Scottish mist, and the British nation, what meant you but to endeavour to set millions to kill one another. Six years Beza noised a Testament bend badly, and Geneva meant to kill one for leaning on the Scottish mist: as three Scots there than told the party: and Beza wrote much alike to your old head. Yet the party boldly printed the Scottish mist then to be his King. And now with what face can you look for any good subject, who knows the blessing of the Scottish mist turned to a shining sun ever to wish you well: after your so great endeavour to overthrow your own nation; The Brettish nation would, as David's 37. worthies, have laid their life in their hands for their leeful Prince, then and now most dear King. And wisheth you, after pardon, to be an hearty subject. Great cause you have.   

To the Reader.  
AS Brittany containing England with Scotland, a Scott is not born in England because he is borne in Brittany: So Hades containing Heaven and HELL, our L. his holy soul going to Hades to his holy joy, can not be said to go to HELL, because his went to Hades. But the barbarous translation should be loathed of all wise & such as would not descend to HELL, to their eternal woe.
