A15420	A retection, or discouerie of a false detection containing a true defence of two bookes, intituled, Synopsis papismi, and Tetrastylon papisticum, together with the author of them, against diuers pretended vntruths, contradictions, falsification of authors, corruptions of Scripture, obiected against the said bookes in a certaine libell lately published.

what to say if you had not propounded one vnto your selfe to gainsay The 7. Corruption BEcause Synops. pag. 730. of the first edition this sentence is alleaged When wee haue done all wee are vnprofitable seruants and we did no more then was our dutie he crieth out that the words of Christ are corrupted because these words all that are commaunded you and say ye are left out Then hee taketh vpon him to expound this text that we are vnprofitable seruants first in respect of God secondly in respect of our nature thirdly wee must so acknowledge for humilitie c. pag. 270. 271. The Correction 1. FIrst He might easily haue seene that the text is not alleaged in the same forme of words for Christ speaketh in the second person when you haue done c. the sentence is pronounced in the first when we haue done therefore the sense was more aimed at then the words 2. So much of the sentence is alleaged as was pertinent to shew that no workes are meritorious because when wee haue done all wee are vnprofitable in which word lieth the force of this testimonie in this place Yet otherwhere the whole sentence is produced where the occasion so requireth as Synops. pag. 288. argum 3. and pag. 662. arg 2. therefore he had no iust cause to complaine of corruption 3. The Euangelists in citing the old scriptures repeate so much of the sentence as is to the purpose and leaue the rest as Mat. 4. 13. out of Esay 9. 1. a great part of the verse is omitted 4. And if this bee a point of corruption Hierome also is a corrupter of Scripture who thus alleageth this text Cum omnia feceritis dicite serui inutiles sumus when you haue done all say ye are vnprofitable seruants He leaueth out all things that are commaunded you c. ad Ctesiphont 2. Secondly 1. Our Sauiour speaketh of that profit which redoundeth to our selues as may appeare by the parable Doth he thank that seruant c. So likewise where no thankes is receiued what profit to a man is gained or deserued And if it be taken as he saith that wee are vnprofitable seruants to God this place still remaineth strong against merits for if God receiue nothing from vs then can we not merit or deserue from him 2. Our Sauiour speaketh not of men in the corruption of nature for they are not Gods seruants being not yet called but of such as are vnder grace and doe walke in obedience of Gods commaundements and so doth Ambrose expound it Quis tanta salutis beneficia digno possit aequare seruitio Who can counteruaile so great benefits of saluation with worthie seruice serm 16. in Psal. 119. 3. And of all other it is most absurd that Christ biddeth vs so to say for humilitie as Augustine saith Quomodo est humilitas vbi regnat falsitas There is no humilitie where there is falsitie Non ita caueatur arrogantia vt veritas relinquatur Doe not so take heede of arrogancie that you leaue the veritie Caus. 22. qis 2. c. 9. 11. It is not to be thought that Christ the veritie would haue his Apostles lie for humilitie to confesse themselues to be vnprofitable seruants if they were not so indeede For a more full answere concerning the true meaning of this Scripture I referre the Reader to another treatise Synops. pag. 933. The 8. Corruption SYnops. p. 668. The Scripture saith God only forgiueth sinnes Mark 2. 7. it is no scripture but the wicked Scribes and Pharisees so thought whom our Sauiour reprehendeth Lib. pag. 273. The Correction 1. OVr blessed Sauiour doth not reprehend the Scribes for so saying who can forgiue sinnes but God onely but because they charged him with blasphemie for taking vpon him to forgiue sinnes not acknowledging the diuine power in him our Sauiour rather by his silence approueth that sentence of theirs as agreeable to Scripture 2. This saying is called scripture not because it was vttered by the Scribes and Pharisees but because it is a principle taken out of the Scripture Esay 43. 25. I am hee that putteth away thine iniquitie for mine owne sake c. And Iob saith Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthines there is not one Iob. 14. 4. If no man can make one cleane then it is God only that can doe it 3. Ambrose citeth this text as scripture Quis potest dimittere peccata nisi solus Deus qui per eos quoque dimittit quibus dimittendi tribuit potestatem Who can forgiue sinnes but God onely who also forgiueth by them to whom he giueth that power c. lib. 5. in Luc. Goe now and charge Ambrose likewise to bee an abuser of scripture But in trueth you your selfe are the man that abuse your selfe and others with these childish and sottish cauils that doe euery where proclaime your ignorance and bewray your euill heart For as Basil saith Lying is the very scope and end of impietie But passing ouer his vnchristiā termes and vnseemely scoffes as not worthie the answere I say with Augustine In bona conscientia teneo quisquis volens detrahit famae meae nolens addit mercedi meae In a good conscience I speake it hee that willingly doth detract from my good name vnwillingly doth adde to my reward The 9. Corruption SYnops. pag. 749. To speake simply death is the wages of all sinne Rom. 6. 23. he hath falsified S. Paul by foisting in the word all The Correction 1. THe Apostles sense not his sentence is there repeated for in other places where the text is cited the words as they stand are repeated as Synops. p. 747. lin 17. pag. 656. lin 31. pag. 775. lin 50. 2. This word all is added exegetic●s by way of exposition for indefinit propositions in Scripture though they want the note of vniuersalitie yet are aequiualent vnto them as Ioh. 1. 29. Behold the lambe of God that taketh away the sinne of the world Ye may as well say that Christ taketh not away all the sinnes of the world because all is not expressed as that all sinne deserueth not death because the Apostle onely saith the wages of sinne is death 3. S. Paul Rom. 10. vers 11. alleaging the Prophet Esay 28. 16. saith Whosoeuer beleeueth in him shall not be ashamed where the Apostle putteth to these words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 all or whosoeuer and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in him which words the Prophet hath not will you say that the Apostle falsified the Prophet Which is not alleaged as though any man had now the like gift of interpreting Scripture as Paul had but to shew that it is lawfull in more words to expresse the sense and meaning of Scripture 4. Neither was hee the first whom you challenge specially for this that thus collected vpon this text but a reuerend writer of our Church before him thus inferreth vpon this text The wages and worthily deserued reward of all sinne in

from the common cause and condition doth deale with them after a more secret manner lib. 2. de vocat Gent. cap. 1. So the generall promises are made to all the seede of the faithfull but they are specially performed onely to those which beleeue Confirmauit generalem bonitatem super vniuersos c. God hath confirmed his generall goodnes to all but part of them merito fidei diuinitus inspiratae ad aeternam salurem specialibus beneficijs prouehitur by the worthines of faith inspired by God by speciall benefits is promoted to saluation Ambros. lib. 2. de vocat Gent. c. 10. 4. Thus then are the Cauillers frinolous objections answered concerning the saluation of the Iewes of Saul Iudas the Church of Rome all these tasted of Gods generall goodnes in offering to them the externall meanes of saluation but they wanted the speciall benefits of true sanctification and effectuall vocation Where the Libeller by the way is detected of falsehood pag. 209. vrging eternall sanctification which are words of his owne putting in for where the children of the faithfull are said to be holie eternall and internal holines and sanctification is neither mentioned nor yet intended but the holines of their generall vocation 5. Yea saith he Turks and Iewes also shal bee saued whose forefathers were faithfull Christians yea and the diuels also which sometime were in Gods grace pag. 210. Ans. 1. Are Turkes and Iewes I pray you holy seede or doth not the Apostle speake of such children whose immediate parents were faithfull 1. Cor. 7. 14. Els were your children vncleane but now are they holie And are diuels in your diuinitie holie seede 2. The Papists doe more incline to these grosse opinions of the sauing of Infidels and Diuels then Protestants for concerning Infidels they hold that they in part may beleeue by their owne free will Rhemist Act. 13. sect 1. and that their actions which seemed outwardly glorious as in honouring their parents in fighting for their countrie and such like were not sinfull Rom. 14. sect 4. contrarie to the Apostle who saith Whatsoeuer is not of faith is sinne As touching Diuels first they doe forbid to marrie and abstaine from meates which the Apostle calleth the doctrines of diuels 2. Tim. 4. 3. Secondly they hold that iustifying faith is a generall or vniuersall beleeuing of the articles of Christs death and resurrection Rhemist annot Rom. 4. sect 9. which is no other faith then such as diuels may haue to beleeue the historicall truth of the articles of faith for they beleeue and tremble Iam. 2. 19. Now let any reasonable man iudge whether Papists or Protestants haue a better opinion of the Diuels and Infidels The fables of the deliuering of Plato and the Emperour Traian out of hell at the prayers of Gregorie and of Falconilla at the prayers of Tecla are their dreames and deuices and not ours The first reported by Nicetas to be currant in the histories of the Fathers in commentar ad secund oration Nazianzen de pasch the other by forged Damascene oration de defunct 5. Now because this ●errie companion maketh himselfe pretie sport with Balaams counsel to send women among the Israelites with the virgins of the word in Cheshire disciples of Master Haruie as hee scornefully calleth them that g●d vp and downe the countrie to heare Preachers c. pag. 181. we will continue this iest a little and shew him his owne face in a 〈…〉 1. For ●alamites info●nieation and Baalites in idolatrie let popish sectaries carrie the bell Doe ye thinke wee haue forgotten what cleane birds both cockes and hennes were found in the Abbey nests in England at the suppression thereof I say with Ambrose Malim falsum crimen subire quam verum referre I had rather beare a false crime then bewray a true epistol 44. Or think you we know not what your owne writers testifie of the chastitie of your Clergie as Constitution Othon in gloss Clerici huiusmodi concubinas tenent communiter apparatu honesto nomine appellationis sororiae Priests commonlie keepe such concubines in honest apparell vnder the name of sisters And in the same place Videtur quod hoc crimen meretricij ecclesia sub dissimulatione transire debeat It seemeth good that the church should dissemble and to passe ouer the crime of whoredome These are more worthie the name of Balamites then those whom you slaunder One of your late Councels thus complaineth Videmus monasteria mulierum in plerisque locis in suspectas de int●m inentia domos ne quid grauius dieam esse commutata We see the monasteries of women in most places to bee chaunged into suspected hou●es of incontinency to speake no worse of them Coloniens part 10. cap. 9. 2. As for Master Har●ie though I know him not I iudge him the honester man for your unliking him For as Diogenes said to one that railed vpon him Neither would any man beleeue me if I praised you nor you in dispraising of me so I thinke your discommending of the Ministers of the Gospell will bee of no more credit with the wise and discreet then if I should commend you for an honest man whom I know not Your spite and enuie is most against those that labour in the Gospel and striue against your superstitious doctrines but God that hath hitherto strengthened vs will I trust open our mouthes yet wider to crie out against your abominations 3. It grieueth you that women should be giuen to heare sermons and to sing Psalmes and I doe not marueile at it for if you might haue your minde both men and women should be as blind as beetles You are like those that Hierome speaketh of Quam viderint pallentem tristem miseram Manicheā vocant If they see a woman pale and sorrowfull they count her miserable and a Manichee ad Eustoch So doe you those women that desire by the Gospell to be brought to true sorrow and repentance for their sinne And doe you mislike that deuout women should be well affected to the Ministers of the Gospell and minister to their necessities againe I will answere you with Hierome Mulieres ministrant saluatori de substantia sua ille qui de quinque panibus millia hominum pauit escas sanctarum mulierum non recusat accipere The women minister to our Sauiour of their substance and hee that with fiue loaues fed thousands refused not to receiue the prouision of women ad Princip It may be thought if this disciple of Rome had then liued hee would haue carped at our blessed Sauiour and his disciples because they suffered women to resort to their Sermons and to minister vnto them Thus haue wee taken a view of his supposed contradictions the third chapter followeth of this goodlie treatise containing pretended falsifications I make no doubt but to hold him here also at the staues end that he shall not fasten a blow for wee feare not his

therfore their Lenton fast is not like that in Augustines time Fiftly then was not the fast so strictly prescribed from cheese butter egges but onely from flesh as Serm. de tempor ser. 64. Qui abstinemus à carnibus We which abstaine from flesh which it is lawfull to vse at other times c. Sixtly they did not then fast in Lent with any opinion of merite but to humble their bodies and make them more fit to serue God Tum ad Dominum c. mens purior festinat cum nulla crapula crassatur Then the minde is readier for God when it is not incras●ate with meate but popish Lenton fast is held to be meritorious I trust by this it appeareth that Augustines Lent was farre differing from the popish neither with such strict necessitie inioyned that we may well conclude vpon Augustines sentence What is now become of your Lent and Ember daies c. for the Church knew none such in Augustines time 3. But Augustine saith it is a sinne not to fast in Lent that is as he expoundeth himselfe when a man is knowne non pro infirmitate non posse sed pro gula ieiunare non velle not to be not able to fast for his infirmitie but not willing for gl●ttonie This we also grant that he which of a greedie appetite and gluttonous minde shall breake the set fasts of the Church instituted for the exercise of prayer and hearing the word doth sinne Now what small cause the Libeller had to say he malitiously and notably abuseth Saint Augustine I hope it is euident he rather abuseth himselfe in suffering his tongue to range so at libertie Plutarke could haue tolde him that an euill mouth is a signe of an euill mind Origen saith They that speake the words of God God openeth their mouth qui falsum testimonium dicit diabolus aperit os eorum but they which vtter slaunders the Diuell openeth their mouth Hom. 3. in Exod. The 8. Falsification WHere Bellarm. doth charge the Protestants with the heresie of Proclus who should say peccatum in renatis semper viuere that sinne doth alwaies liue in the regenerate because it is translated that sinne doth raigne c. in the regenerate or borne anew he saith that this sentence is foisted in of his owne Libel pag. 236. 237. The Iustification HEre is neither whole sentence nor yet a whole word foisted in as this foister saith but only one word translated contrarie to his humour peccatum semper viuere sinne alwaies to raigne for alwaies to liue the sense being the same For first I aske him what Proclus heresie was whether that sinne did liue that is remaine in the regenerate or did liue that is raigne in them To say that sinne remaineth in the regenerate is no heresie but catholike and sound doctrine agreeable to the Scripture 1. Ioh. 1. 8. If we say wee haue no sinne we deceiue our selues and the truth is not in vs. And this was one of the errors of the Pelagians Posse esse hominem sine peccato That a man may be here without sin which Augustine confuteth epist. 89. quaest 1. by that place of Iohn and further he saith Omnibus est necessaria oratio Dominica The Lords Prayer is necessarie for all where wee pray forgiue vs our sinnes This doctrine is confirmed by your owne Decrees Distin. 25. c. 3. in gloss out of Hierome Res contra naturam pene est vt sine peccato aliquis sit It is almost against nature that a man should be without sinne Likewise Distin. 81. c. 1. caus 33. distinct 2. de poenitent c. 40. how then could Proclus be iudged an heretike in saying that sinne remained in the regenerate which the Catholike Church did also hold Wherefore his meaning was that sinne did liue that is raigne in the regenerate much like to the heresie of the Eunomians that did teach that the committing of neuer so great sinnes should not hurt a man if he were of their faith Augustin haeres 54. and so they did suffer sinne to raigne in their disciples Secondly in Scripture for sinne to raigne or liue in vs is taken for all one as Rom. 7. vers 9. Sinne saith the Apostle reuiued which he expoundeth vers 14. I am carnall and sold vnder sinne the Apostle here speaketh of himselfe when he was yet vncalled for sinne then to liue or reuiue in vs is to be sold vnto sinne And againe Rom. 6. 1. We that are dead vnto sinne how shall we liue still therein And afterward hee expoundeth what it is to liue in sinne vers 12. Let not sinne raigne in your mortall bodies So then to liue in sinne or sinne to liue in vs is for sinne to raigne in vs. Thus Augustine interpreteth the Apostle Qui mortui sumus peccato c. eum describit qui est sub gratia constitutus cui autem dominatur peccatum c. adhuc sub lege est We that are dead to sinne how shall we liue therein He describeth him which is vnder grace but he in whom sinne ruleth c. is vnder the law not vnder grace in 6. ad Roman He then which is vnder grace or regenerate liueth not in sin nor sinne liueth in him he that is not vnder grace then hath sinne both liuing and raigning in him The Apostle also saith Rom. 12. vers 11. Ye are dead to sinne but are aliue to God There cannot be both a death of sinne and a life of sinne together in the regenerate It is then I trust sufficiently cleered that the liuing of sinne and raigning of sinne is all one Now thou accuser of the brethren whosoeuer thou art take your choise if Proclus by the liuing of the sinne in the regenerate meaneth raigning then are wee no heretikes for so wee hold not if by liuing he vnderstandeth the being of sinne then are you heretikes if you denie it Your hereticall liuerie then take to your selfe it is fittest for your shoulders that first shaped it and cut out the cloath your liuerie may well be heresie and your cognisance hypocrisie be not offended if you carrie away that you bring Si dixeris quod vis audies quod non vis If you speake what you will you shall heare what you would not as Homer saith What you speake the same shall you heare againe The Pelagians obiected against Hierome that he was an heretike I answere you as he answered them Egone haereticus quare ergo me haeretici non amant Am I an heretike wherefore then doe not heretikes such as you are loue me lib. 3. aduers. Pelagian The 9. Falsification WHereas Augustine is alleaged Tetrastyl pag. 97. in these words The pompe of funerals the rites and solemnities of buriall are comforts of the liuing no helpe to the dead let men therefore performe this last dutie to their friends Serm. de verb. Apostol 34. to shew that though Augustine seemeth somewhat to be infected with the error of prayer

generall is death Rom. 6. 23. Fulk Rom. 1. 1. sect 11. whom I name not here as though the aduersarie honoured the memorie of that excellent man but to shew that he neither is one alone or the first that hath thus cited this Scripture 5. This Scripture is not falsified at all because it is the Apostles meaning that al sinne of it selfe deserueth death Galat. 3. 10. Cursed is euery one that continueth not in all things which are written in the booke of the law to doe them euery transgression then of the law is vnder the curse and so subiect to death then consequently euery sinne for sin is the transgression of the law 1. Ioh. 1. 3. 4. Hierome to this purpose saith Contemptus cuiuscunque praecepti praecipientis iniuria est The contempt of euery commandement is an iniurie to the commaunder And what is hee worthie of that doth wrong to the euerlasting Creator and lawgiuer but of death without Gods mercy 7. In this sense do the Fathers vnderstand S. Paul to haue spoken generally of all sinne as Origen hom 5. in Leuitic Inuenimus de peccato quod sit ad mortem We finde concerning sinne that it is vnto death de delicto non legimus of offences we do not reade c. though he make a difference betweene peccatum delictum sinne and offence the first in committing the second in omission which distinction hee saith is not alwaies found in Scripture yet it appeareth by this comparison that hee taketh the Apostle to speake of all sinne Augustine also saith A Deo est quicquid pertinet ad naturam ab illo non est quicquid sit contra naturam peccatum autem contra naturam est de quo mors c. Whatsoeuer belongeth to nature is of God whatsoeuer is against nature is not of God but sinne is against nature whereof death and all things which are of death doe spring ad articul fals imposit art 5. Here his meaning must be that from all sinne death springeth because all sinne is against nature because no sinne is of God c. 7. That place Matth. 5. 22. 23. sheweth that there are diuers degrees of euerlasting punishment not that any of those sins there named are exempted from thence but more or lesse punished there as Origen doth gather vpon the like place Matth. 23. 15. You make him twofold more the child of hell Wee learne by this that there is eorum qui in gehenna futuri sunt differentia tormentorum a difference of torment of those which shall bee in hell because one is simply another twofold the child of hell The 10. Corruption SYnops. p. 907. Iudas when he was in his holiest course was but a theefe and an hypocrite as the Scripture testifieth of him S. Peter saith of Simon Magus that his heart was not right in the sight of God there is no Scripture for the first and in the second place was is thrust in for is Libel 175. The Correction FIrst how Iudas is proued by the Scripture and exposition of some of the Fathers in his holiest course to haue been but an hypocrite I haue shewed before in the defence against Slaunder 11. whither I desire the reader curteously to looke backe I will not vse needlesse repetitions of the same things to auoide prolixitie as the Libeller doth often as it should seeme for lacke of matter shewing his simplicitie 2. The Cauiller doth here egregiouslie shew his follie for the words of Peter are reported in the third person what he said of Simon Magus and therefore could not bee rehearsed otherwise then by a verbe of the third person that his heart was not right c. Neither is this vnusual in the new Testament in the alleaging of Scripture to chaunge the person the tence or time as Matth. 13. 15. that I might heale them saith the Euangelist and he heale them saith the Prophet Esay 6. 10. And againe Saint Peter saith out of the 16. Psalme Thou hast shewed me the waies of life Act. 2. 28. hauing relation to the accomplishment of the prophesie But the Psalmist saith Thou wilt shew me the waies of life Psal. 16. 9. 3. We ground not an argument vpon the chaunge of the tence but vpon the true meaning of S. Peters words whether wee say his hart was not or is not right it sheweth he was but an hypocrite for he saith thou art in the bond 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of iniquitie which words shew that hee was knotted and rooted in his hypocrisie not then begun but then shewed Ambrose saith Petrus Simoni qui magicae artis consuetudine deprauatus putasset Peter to Simon that being corrupted with the custome of Magicall art thought that hee might get the grace of the spirit with money said non est tibi pars neque pars in hac fide thou hast no part nor fellowship in this faith lib. 2. de poeniten cap. 4. From hence I note two things that Simon did not leaue his witchcraft though baptized and therfore was not an hypocrite now only but before and that seeing he had no part in the faith as Ambrose readeth and Gratiane reporteth his words Caus. 1. quaest 1. c. 19. hee was neuer in heart baptized for then he must haue had part in the fellowship of the faith whereof hee had receiued the signe Wherefore by this that hath been said I trust it appeareth that he had little cause to say Doth not silence in this case crie corruption I may say of him as Hippomachus of one that had long armes being commended for a good wrestler Yea saith he if the crowne were hanged aloft and to be gotten by reaching and catching so if the masterie were to be had by lying and ouerreaching and catching at words and syllables not by sound wrestling and grapling this aduersarie would soone go away with it But his silence would haue shewed his wisedome whereas his brabling vttereth his follie and he shall do well to make amends afterward by holding his peace as Gennadius reporteth of one Seuerus seduced to be a Pelagian Agnoscens loquacitatis culpam vsque ad mortem silentium tenuit vt quod loquendo contraxerat tacendo emendaret Acknowledging his loquacitie he kept silence vnto his death that hee might recompence by his silence what he had offended in speaking Gennad catalog The 11. Corruption SYnops. pag. 473. S. Paul concludeth that a man is iustified by faith onely without the workes of the law Manifest corruption saith he by thrusting the word onely into the text Libel pag. 277. The Correction 1. SAint Pauls words are not here repeated first for then the sentence should haue been vttered in the first person we conclude as it is in the text not S.

cleere my selfe and I trust by this true defence haue sufficiently declared the same from all malicious corruptions such or so many as are suggested so that I nothing doubt in this case to say with S.

And as Augustine●aith ●aith of the false accusations of Petilian Nihil eorum quibus me criminatus est mihi conscius sum I am not guiltie of any thing wherewith he accuseth mee And so I conclude with the same Fathers sentence Etiam me in mea causa sicut inimicus existimari cupit deficiente oppresso victrix erit causa cui seruio Though I should faint and faile in mine owne cause as the aduersarie would haue it imagined yet the cause of truth which I serue shall neuer be conquered libr. 3. cont Petilian cap. 2.

tum deleri videntur cum peccant iuxta praescientiam verò nunquam in libro vitae fuerunt In the iustice of the Iudge they then are said to be blotted out when they sinne but according to Gods prescience they were neuer in the booke of life in 9. ad Roman 2. Concerning Saul I haue shewed before that ●ee was neuer elected before God or truly iust answer to the 11. vntruth and you haue brought a goodly text to proue it Saul was a choise young man and afaire c. higher by the shoulders thē the children of Israel Ergo he was chosen before God Ambrose saith Qui credere videntur non permanent in fide à Deo electi negantur quia quos Deus eligit apud se permanent est etiam qui ad tempus eligitur sicut Saul Iudas non de praescientia sed de praesenti iustitia They which seeme to beleeue and continue not in faith are denied to be elected of God for whom God electeth doe continue with him there is also that is chosen for a time as Saul and Iudas not in Gods prescience but in their present iustice in 8. ad Roman 3. Thirdly the same answere we make to the supposed contradiction that Adam was made subiect to euerlasting condemnation by his transgression not before God but in respect of himselfe and his present state because by his sinne he had deserued it he was subiect to damnation ex merito suo non ex decreto Dei by his desert not by the decree of God neither had he vtterly lost the grace of God to which hee was restored but in part only in respect of his present feeling As Dauid saith Psalm 51. 12. Restore me to the ioy of saluation hee had not lost his saluation but the feeling the ioy and comfort of it As Ambrose saith In terris quateris in caelis possides Thou art tossed and shaken in the earth and yet doest possesse in heauen de obit Theodos The 10. Contradiction SYnops. pag. 1067. to affirme that Henoch and Elias went vp to heauen in their bodies before the ascension of Christ out of Scripture it cannot be proued it is euident that they were taken vp aliue into heauen but not that they continued aliue out of these words the Libeller first noteth a contradiction secondly a notable vntruth The Reconciliation 1. FIrst to remoue the contradiction in that it is said they were taken vp aliue or in their bodies into heauen it is not meant that they went into heauen with their bodies but that they were aliue in their bodies when they were taken vp from the earth so that the words must be read with a distinction their being aliue or in their bodies must be referred to the first clause they were taken vp not to the second into heauen Thus the Sophister vseth a fallacie conioyning those things which are to bee disioyned As where it is said Act. 1. 11. This Iesus which is taken vp into heauen shall so come as ye haue seene him go into heauen the words must not be taken in a ioynt sense as though they did see Christ going or entring into heauen for a clowd took him frō their sight v. 9. neither was that heauen whither Christ went euer seene with mortall eye but the words must be distinguished they did onely see him goe that is taken from the earth and going from them As there is no contradiction in these words that a clowd tooke him from their sight and yet they saw him going into heauen no more is there in the other 2. Secondly whereas the Libeller affirmeth that Henoch and Elias are yet aliue in their bodies but not in heauen belike in the terrestriall paradise as some haue thought Rhem. in 11. Apocal. sect 4. And that Henoch and Elias shall come in person in the time of Antichrist I wil briefly shew how vncertaine both these opinions are First that they are aliue in their bodies in paradise the Scripture sheweth not that place Ecclesiastic 44. 16. which is scripture with them that Henoch was translated into paradise is corruptly translated for the word paradise is not in the Greeke as Pererius hath wel obserued lib. 3. in Genes qu. 5. Where that place is vrged Matth. 11. vers 11. Elias indeed shall come or is to come it is rather to be read venturus erat was for to come so readeth Hentenius a Papist in Euthym. so the vulgar Latine translateth vers 3. where Iohn sendeth this message to Christ Art thou he that art to come without any sense for Christ was come alreadie it should be rather read 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which should come or was to come 2. The booke of Macchabees which is Scripture with them saith 1. chap. 2. 58. Elias was taken vp 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 vsque euen into heauen which word euen importeth not his taking vp onely into the ayre but into heauen indeede Hierome saith that Henoch Elias mortis necessitate superata ita vt erant in corporibus de terrena conuersatione ad caelestia regna translati sunt The necessitie of death being ouercome as they were in their bodies were translated from their terrene conuersation to the celestiall kingdome And of this opinion hee saith was Theodorus Heracleotes tom 4. Miner Alexand. that they were translated to heauen we beleeue with Hierome but not in their very bodies therein I preferre rather Origens opinion Sicut ex mortuis primogenitus Christus ita primus carnem euexit in coelum As Christ was the first borne of the dead so he first caried his flesh into heauen ex Pamphil. 3. Whereas he vrgeth that place Heb. 11. vers 5. By faith was Enoch translated that hee should not see death to proue that he is yet aliue the Apostle onely sheweth that he died not after the vsuall manner and common condition as they which shall be aliue at Christs comming shall not die but they shal be changed 1. Cor. 15. 51. which is a kinde of death For otherwise how should that sentence of Scripture be verified Heb. 9. 27. It is appointed vnto men that they shall once die that is to all men wherefore Henoch and Elias though they died not a common death yet were they chaunged which was in steede of death vnto them 4. Origen thinketh that Elias descendens ad inferna c. did descend to hell c. Hom. 4. in Luc. Ambrose taketh paradise to bee heauen Tum saluus fuero in paradiso cum coepero viuere inter electos angelos Then I shall bee safe when I shall liue in paradise among the elect Angels serm 15. in Psal. 119. If Henoch and Elias be in paradise they are then in heauen Chrysostome Hom. 21. in Genes If any man doe curiously aske into what place Henoch was translated and whether hee doe liue to this present discat non conuenire humanis mentibus curiosius ea quae à Deo fiunt explorare let
