a ram was in a thicket fast b● the hornes So Isaak did l●ft vp his e●es and behold Camel were coming Gen. 24.63 And in the next vers Rebecca lifted vp her eyes saw Isaak And in Iacobs story six times that phrase cometh This spech being so vsuall no D. should bring strangenes vpon it But D. Bilson doth and trobleth the simple disputeth against himselfe For the vse of the phrase still argueth vevving in equal soyle An other terme chasma trobleth the right reuerēd father A deepe gulfe he doth expound it from his ovvne auctoritie Hiatus or gaping vvere fit vvhen a man gapeth men consider not hovv deepe the mouth ●s but hovv vvide In Zach. 14. ●n the lxx mount olevet shal be parted into a great chasma half ●astvvard half vvestvvard Ther the blind may see that no●●he depth but the vvidenes cometh to be considered So Babish ●he D. is in all his vvritting And ●is vnspeakable blindnes appea●eth in this He reiecteth heathē Greke vvith odious termes and ●reameth that the Apostles had ● peculiar Greke of their ovvne ●et euery vvhit of the N. Testament is penned in Greke as heathē or Ievves before vnderstood the phrases the heathen had held the Apostles vvicked Sophisters yf heathen termes had not bene in heathen sense or in schole poinctes such as Pharisees vvold graunt plain All trades haue peculiarity in generall vvordes dravving them to particular vnderstanding But then all of the faculty take them alike Four Grekes are in the Nevv testamēt These fovvr Grekes the Apostles haue The heathen vsed as heathen meant in speach to them or heathen termes vsed as the Greek translaters of the old testament vsed them or heathen termes applyed in nevv sort to Ebrevv plain by it self or heathen Greke applyed vnto Thalmudik or Ievves Doctors phrases Further cometh none by the Apostles The Diuels language goeth further in Abissos to the vvicked Cabalistes maner in Zohar vpon Gen. 1. Darkenes vvas vpon the face of the Pit Ther they say that resembled Gehenna call the depe Gehenna For all these poinctes D. Bilson shevveth himself a Babe sometimes goeth beyond all Hades nether by heathen nor lxx nor Apostles nor Thalmud is euer Hel. yet his headstrōg vnlerned head vvill have it so Halting afore Creples hoping by much babling to be heard The lxx take Abissus for the graue Ps 71.22 Thou diddest make me aliue againe diddest bring me again from the Abissos of the earth S. Paul Rom. 10. folovveth the very same phrase for the resurrection of the Lord saie not in thine hart who can go vp into heauen I meane to bring Christ downe or who can go downe to the pit I meane to bring Christ from the dead But yf thou confesse vvith thy mouth that Iesus is the ETERNALL beleue in thine hart that God hath brought him frō the dead thou shalt be saved S. Paul alluding to Moses Dauid Ionas spak to Ievves hovv in tvvo poinctes Diuinity stood telleth vvhat Moses all the Prophetes taught even the incarnation resurrection and expoundeth him self speaking of Ievves reiected shevveth their stubburnesse that having but tvvo poincts of difference the incarnation the resurrection both proved most strongly rebell against the light And here D. Bilsō leauing all heathen the lxx all the Prophetes Ebrevv all Thalmudiques can run to the Diuels Luc. 8. for a phrase VVheras vvhen S. Paul vvrote to the Romanes none in the vvorld had vsed Abissus for Hell sauing the Deuels in S. Lukes Gospell vvritten but seauen yeares afore Ievves of vvhom he spake neuer cared for S. Luke and denying both the incarnation resurrection vvold not heare of further matter neuer taught in Iuda and that spoken in termes meaning to all Ievves clean an other matter Hence all that haue eyes to see may behold hovv blind D. Bilson is vvhich hath nether Grammer nor Diuinity nor loue to the truth He citeth Oecumenius there and omitteth his vvordes that make this plain and dissembleth the best lerned Chrisostome This cauterized consciēce should be reproued sharply Novv the third kind of Grek the Apostles folovving the Ebrevv Deut. 30. D. Bilson litle considered hovv the going vp to heauen and going dovvne to Abissus is of our myndes not of our Lordes actions The chaldy exposition of heard termes in Moses maketh that plain The vvork is called Thargum Ierusalemi And thus it speabeth The law is not in the heauens to cause spech oh that we had one like Moses the Prophet that might goe vp into the heauens bring it vnto vs preach vnto vs the commaundements that we might doe them the Law is not beyond the great sea to cause speach oh that we had one Like Ionas the Prophet that might goe downe into the great sea bring it vs preach the commaundementes that we might doe them Thus the Chaldy shevveth that for our action of the mynd this vvas spoken as forbidding blame of hardenes in the Lavv. And the Rabbins vvhich haue in fragmentes yet the floures of all the N. Test they seme to haue turned these vvordes of old vnto the Gospell by this spech of Ionas in the vvalles belly The later Rabines compiled most auncient And for this cause S. Paul might take Abissus both for the graue as Oecumenius doth allude vnto the sea as Chrisostome taketh the vvord So it may be easily seene hovv for the Apostles trāslation of Ebrevv D. Bilson seeth nothing So had the sorovves of death act 2. are from Ps 18.5 Ps 116.3 a speach knovven to all Ievves for the naturall sorovves that alvvayes cometh vvhē the body is vvounded that the soule cannot tary in it And vvheras S. Peter act 2. vvas to shevv that the disciples did not steale the body of Iesus our sauiour but God omnipotent raised it vp disannulling the sores that vvere done by nailes speare D. Bilsō vvold have the terme death here to be the second death and that S. Peter should by terme of death in a iust soule meane the second death to make the holy Apostle the foolishest the vvickeddest that euer spak vvith tongue He had the resurrection of the body to speak of and vvher the gouernours vvere Sadducees beleeued not that soules vvere immortall vvisdome vvold that his tongue should giue no cause of further pleading till the resurrection of the body vvas graūted And though the Pharisees held soules to be immortall yet they beleued not that Messias should arise from death yf S. Peter should haue gone to further matter neuer heard that a iust soule should goe to hell vvherof no cause of spech vvas euer afore moued he had bē held not a teacher but a betrayer of Christianity Moreouer the terme of Second Death vvhich D. Bilson vvold haue meant by Peters terme of death is nether Ethnice nor in the lxx nor hath any Ebrevv in the Bible for it Therfore it should not vvel be vsed
