To the right Honorable Rich. Archb. of Canterburie H. B. wisheth G. WHen Barow and Greenwood R.H. were to be pardoned if they would haue come to Church they could finde no barr sound but this That none should hold them of good religion which beleeued that our Lords soule went to Hell Archb. Wh. thought that the Creede was translated in English after the most learned Greeke but the wicked translation English differeth from the Greek as doth descending in soules from ascending and Heaven differs froÌ„ Hell Archb. Wh. thought our Lord in soule descended and into Hell But Bishopp Elmer knew the Greeke meant a going vp to heaven and had saved Barow and Greenwood shewing that by a friend to them if a Chaplein a messenger had as he promised spoken to the partie vpon new stirre I opened the trueth and for receiving a Letter from Maister Iames Melvin the vnable in Divinitie meant to plague in humanitie But this blew good corne to you by E. E. helpe and became your making and the death of him that preferred you As you were making friendes I wrote of our faith and King For the King you brent the booke as having treason that I called him the King of our language I wil not denie my meaning I meant to keepe you from bent to Pâ—iamus happines you Bar. Abbas After this I write to the graue Father Archb. Wh. a treatise that he was deceaved He saw it and sent Maister Geffrey K. to me to coÌ„fesse errour Maister Rob. Beal told Q Eliz. that Archb. Wh. was deceaved and I think Q E. bade Archb. Wh. to confesse errour But witlesse Bar. skopheth his yeelding and D. Bilsons as if he were an Ape and not a body of reason and skopheth the Sc. M. as having a minde to vndoe the soile that bredd so senseles and so impudent a wight and skopheth the Concent of Scripture and skopheth the booke of Scripture concent to graue in memorie howe vnlearned a wight hee is To Archb. Wh. I write an epistle of D. Bilson his yeelding for the matter in strife but by feigning a iourney from Heaven to Hell by the Creed to make this phaÌ„sie heard our Christian Religion he was much deceaved you brent these copies and a second Impression for the King of our laÌ„guage Consider how little you feared God and the King in so doing And to teach how slender a Doctor you are in Divinitie I advertise of corruptions in your handling of religion and of betraying the Gospel to Iewes at wordes you chafe where your libels style is my warrant Now I wishe you to be a Lucifer and light giver But not a Babylonian Lucifer to exalt your selfe aboue the Gospell for our Lords passage hence and I wishe you not to be a Bargulus Illyricus to cease vpon other mens good and an Orthodox not as Cotton exceter to burne bookes defensiue of our religion and I send to your iudgement the booke made against you to the King if you iudge your selfe the King needeth not to be troubled And I will burie all griefes if you find some to answer the Iew for the honour of all Christendome If you can not your iudgement is heavie that threatned to hinder others But take a right course and all wil be well I haue no minde to striue with you but to leaue you to Gods iudgement where I holde your bent not good We should heare that Saint Paul telleth It is appointed for all men once to die and then cometh iudgement And our yeares tell vs there is but a stepp betwixt vs and death that wee should looke shortly for death and iudgement and not sell our Birth-right in heauen for a messe of pottage but looke vnto the blessing which God hath layde vpp for all that loue his glorious appearance AMEN
