distinction_n it_o will_v keep_v we_o right_o in_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o this_o article_n for_o if_o he_o descend_v into_o hell_n as_o a_o agent_n than_o not_o as_o a_o patient_n and_o if_o not_o as_o a_o patient_n than_o not_o to_o suffer_v but_o only_o to_o triumph_v last_o if_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n to_o suffer_v why_o do_v not_o then_o his_o body_n descend_v aswell_o as_o his_o soul_n see_v our_o body_n aswell_o as_o our_o soul_n shall_v have_v suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n which_o can_v be_v object_v if_o we_o hold_v he_o descend_v into_o hell_n but_o only_o to_o triumph_v for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a and_o proper_a triumph_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o triumph_v over_o hell_n so_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a and_o proper_a triumph_n for_o the_o

satan_n there_o be_v great_a reason_n see_v he_o it_o be_v that_o have_v offer_v he_o so_o many_o great_a indignity_n here_o on_o earth_n he_o it_o be_v that_o have_v tempt_v he_o in_o the_o

be_v a_o agent_n shall_v be_v to_o go_v into_o hell_n to_o be_v revenge_v upon_o he_o as_o it_o be_v in_o hot_a blood_n and_o for_o his_o great_a disgrace_n to_o triumph_v over_o he_o within_o his_o own_o kingdom_n now_o which_o of_o these_o opinion_n be_v the_o more_o probable_a perhaps_o we_o may_v but_o which_o be_v the_o true_a who_o can_v be_v sure_a see_v probability_n and_o truth_n do_v not_o always_o go_v together_o and_o sometime_o the_o more_o true_a be_v the_o less_o probable_a there_o be_v fallacy_n aswell_o in_o reason_n as_o in_o sense_n and_o indeed_o in_o matter_n obscure_a

deliver_v in_o plain_a term_n we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o build_v upon_o but_o inference_n and_o deduction_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n fallacious_a seldom_o so_o clear_a to_o induce_v a_o

that_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n and_o not_o be_v too_o curious_a in_o examine_v much_o less_o too_o peremptory_a in_o conclude_v either_o the_o manner_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o descend_v

the_o soul_n lie_v all_o the_o while_o asleep_a they_o be_v to_o he_o as_o contiguous_a and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o improbable_a opinion_n and_o by_o which_o many_o difficult_a place_n in_o

and_o we_o but_o propension_n to_o sin_n but_o what_o a_o kind_n of_o persuade_v be_v this_o to_o seek_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n by_o hear_v he_o be_v scourge_v and_o

for_o if_o he_o have_v save_v himself_o and_o come_v down_o from_o the_o cross_n the_o jew_n pretend_v at_o least_o they_o will_v have_v believe_v in_o he_o but_o when_o he_o do_v not_o this_o upon_o

the_o mist_n that_o blind_v the_o jew_n eye_n they_o can_v never_o be_v bring_v to_o think_v he_o the_o true_a christ_n because_o he_o come_v in_o such_o meanness_n &_o humility_n where_o they_o

be_v this_o one_o of_o the_o main_a reason_n which_o make_v we_o know_v and_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a christ_n because_o it_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o all_o the_o ancient_a prophecy_n that_o such_o a_o one_o the_o true_a christ_n shall_v be_v and_o indeed_o see_v he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v a_o redeemer_n and_o redeem_v consist_v no_o less_o in_o suffer_v then_o in_o do_v it_o be_v necessary_a he_o shall_v come_v in_o such_o a_o estate_n as_o may_v be_v fit_a for_o suffering_n so_o to_o pay_v for_o we_o the_o uttermost_a farthing_n of_o our_o debt_n not_o only_o by_o active_a but_o aswell_o also_o by_o passive_a obedience_n which_o he_o can_v not_o have_v do_v at_o least_o not_o make_v appear_v to_o have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v come_v in_o such_o

mention_v make_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n but_o there_o must_v be_v add_v the_o virgin_n mary_n indeed_o it_o be_v add_v very_o just_o for_o by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n be_v descend_v of_o the_o lineage_n of_o david_n his_o mother_n be_v of_o the_o same_o lineage_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v foretell_v the_o true_a christ_n shall_v be_v and_o this_o be_v no_o small_a strengthen_n to_o our_o belief_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o true_a messiah_n but_o how_o be_v it_o like_v that_o mary_n be_v a_o virgin_n when_o she_o have_v a_o husband_n at_o least_o how_o can_v we_o believe_v she_o be_v a_o virgin_n when_o she_o have_v a_o child_n be_v it_o not_o that_o her_o marriage_n be_v inchoate_n indeed_o but_o not_o consummate_v she_o be_v desponsata_fw-la but_o not_o nupta_fw-la she_o be_v not_o marry_v and_o therefore_o espouse_v that_o there_o may_v be_v one_o to_o take_v care_n of_o she_o and_o her_o child_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v bear_v but_o why_o shall_v her_o husband_n take_v care_n of_o a_o child_n that_o be_v none_o of_o his_o own_o may_v he_o not_o rather_o just_o suspect_v she_o to_o have_v play_v false_a with_o he_o and_o therefore_o rather_o put_v she_o to_o shame_n at_o least_o put_v she_o from_o he_o then_o to_o take_v she_o to_o he_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o hard_a matter_n to_o make_v one_o believe_v that_o a_o woman_n shall_v have_v a_o child_n and_o not_o accompany_v with_o man_n but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o wrought_v the_o conception_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o mother_n womb_n so_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o wrought_v this_o belief_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o her_o husband_n joseph_n that_o the_o angel_n tell_v he_o true_a when_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o fear_v not_o joseph_n to_o take_v mary_n thy_o wife_n for_o that_o which_o be_v conceive_v in_o she_o be_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o though_o she_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o a_o child_n yet_o she_o continue_v a_o virgin_n still_o for_o neither_o the_o conception_n of_o christ_n nor_o the_o birth_n of_o christ_n do_v abrogate_v her_o virginity_n but_o rather_o make_v she_o if_o not_o a_o more_o virgin_n at_o least_o a_o pure●_n virgin_n than_o she_o be_v before_o for_o such_o be_v the_o purity_n of_o christ_n body_n that_o it_o make_v all_o passage_n the_o ●urer_n by_o which_o it_o pass_v and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v pious_o believe_v and_o without_o hyperbole_n that_o as_o she_o be_v virgo_fw-la ante_fw-la partum_fw-la so_o she_o be_v virgo_fw-la in_o partu_fw-la and_o virgo_fw-la post_fw-la partum_fw-la a_o virgin_n before_o the_o birth_n and_o in_o the_o birth_n and_o after_o the_o birth_n for_o though_o she_o have_v purification_n yet_o that_o perhaps_o be_v but_o as_o christ_n have_v baptism_n to_o fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n and_o as_o christ_n be_v conceive_v of_o mary_n without_o sin_n so_o mary_n be_v deliver_v of_o christ_n without_o pain_n for_o it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o she_o who_o bring_v he_o forth_o that_o free_a mankind_n from_o the_o general_a curse_n shall_v in_o bring_v he_o forth_o be_v free_v herself_o from_o the_o particular_a curse_n lay_v upon_o womankind_n which_o be_v that_o in_o sorrow_n they_o shall_v bring_v forth_o child_n but_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v bear_v of_o

that_o as_o our_o body_n shall_v rise_v though_o in_o their_o old_a substance_n yet_o endue_v with_o new_a quality_n so_o heaven_n and_o earth_n where_o they_o be_v to_o abide_v shall_v suffer_v the_o

in_o part_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n first_o and_o then_o the_o life_n everlasting_a after_o because_o although_o the_o soul_n in_o its_o kind_n be_v
