 ris* By the fcriptures(fafl|l ArabrofeJ wc Icame there is a tri- 
 ple death. One when we die to fmne and Xiut to God, This is 
 ablcflcddeatk, which feiiereth vsfrom that which is mortall, 
 and ioineth vs to that which is immortall. The lecond is the de- 
 parture out of this life , when thefouleis deliucred from the 
 bandesof her bodie, Thethirde death is that of which it is 
 written y thefbulcthat finneth, fliall die; this death dieth not 
 onelietheflefii , butthefoule alfo; for it is not the ending of 
 this life, but the running into errcur . ^ C^C ficll fjS tlje life

 how the foule maic poflRblie die. And thereforfc Chrift could noc

 As Homer rcpoiisth^lff iter i Neptune ^and IHuto deuidcd the 
 goucrnement, after they receaued it of their father. There was 
 a lawe couching men vnder»?rf/«r»«^, andcuer was andftilli? 
 with the gods , thatfuch menasledaiuftand holielife, when 
 they departed hence fhouldegoe to the lies oftheblefled, and 
 there liue in all happinefle without any euill ; and they that had 
 bcene wicked and vngodlie fhould goc to the prifon ofpunifli- 
 ment and vengeance which is called Tartarus. The iudges of 
 thefc matters,iii Satumesi\mQ,znd in the beginning of //i^/f^rJ' 
 raigne were the liuing of fuch as yet liued, and gauc iudgcmcnj 
 the fame daie that each man fhould die, w hcrcfore their iudgcr 
 ment was corrupt, p l v t o the and the Gardians ofthe bicfled 
 Hands going to lufiter tolde him jthat there camevntachem 
 men to either place vnmeete for that condition. To whome Itt^ 
 fiter aunfwered , I will fee itrcdrefled. The iudgcmcntes are 
 therefore now amiffe,becaufe they that are iudged arecoucrcd 
 round, for they are iudged aliue, and fo many that hauc wicked 
 {bules are compaffcd with beauty ,nobility,&: liches, and manic 
 come to the place of iudgement^ & depofc they liucd honeltlie, 
 andfotheiudgesareaflonifhcdrasalfo the iudges thefclues arc 
 clogged J hauing their loules wrapped with their eies^and eares, 
 and the reft of their bodic. Fiift therfore men muft be kept from 
 forefeeing the time oftheirdeath.The they muft be iudged whe 
 they are naked from all thefe thinges,thati3 after death, and the

 that the judgement may be fincere.And I forefceingthis before 
 yoUj haue appointed Iudges , two ofmy fons Aminos & Rh^cU-

 Thefe when they are dead fhall judge in an open meadc in the
