Art thou a Ruler in Israel and knowest not these things viz. The great errour in that which is called the Apostles CREED And the reall truth of JESUS CHRIST his glorious conquering personall reigne on Earth over the Devill Sin and Death for one thousand yeares WITH Mans salvation by the free grace and favour of God and Jesus Christ Laid open by him who heartily desires the manifestation of all the truths of God and of Jesus Christ And the utter extirpation of all the errours of MEN WILLIAM FARMER Gent. That Christ betwixt his buriall and his resurrection did not descend into Hell nor then preach to the damned spirits in PRISON THE Church of England doth allow of and acknowledg 3. Creeds And the now Assembly of Divines have adheringly ratified confirmed and manifested them all that is the Nycen Creed the Apostles Creed and the Athynasian Creed Nothing ought to be counted Apostolicall that is not grounded upon and answerable unto the Apostles Doctrine Our Apostles Creed is That Christ was Crucified dead and buried he descended into Hell the third day he rose again from the dead There is no Doctrine of the Apostles that Christ betwixt his buriall and his Resurrection descended into Hell therefore it is no Apostolicall Doctrine Whatsoever is not Apostolical ought not to be made Catholical The Nycen Creed which is counted Catholicall sayes that Christ suffered for our salvation descended into Hell rose again the third day from the dead That Christ suffered for our salvation or rather that Christ suffered for our sins was finished when he had received the vineger and said it is finished Father into thy hands I commend my Spirit and having said thus he gave up the Ghost or his divine Spirit or God-head departed out of his humane body and then was his full sufferings finished as Christ himselfe saith Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished that the Scripture might be fulfilled as this Nycen Creed saith well Although he be God and man he is not two Christs but one Christ so when his God-head was departed from his man-hood then hee had finished or fulfilled all Scripture as a sufferer because he was a perfect Christ no longer then he was God and man no more then a man that is a dead man is a perfect man for the dead body cannot suffer because it hath no sense so that it was only the humane body of Christ laid in the grave that was in Hell because the grave is the dead bodies Hell and the grave is called hell in divers Scriptures and so is this Nycen Creed to be understood The Athanasian Creed saith That Christ suffered and was buried and the third day rose againe according to the Scriptures and therefore a truth for what the Spirit of God hath revealed that only is truth but the Spirit hath in no Scripture revealed that Christ betwixt his buriall and his resurrection descended into hell as that which is called the Apostles Creed doth affirm therefore it is none of the Apostles Doctrine This Doctrine that Christ betwixt his buriall and his resurrection descended into hell is a hellish Antichristian Romish doctrine derived from their diabolicall errour upon that their mis-interpretation of the Spirit of God from those words of the Apostle Peter where he saith That Christ hath once suffered for sinnes the just for the unjust that he might bring us to God being put to death in the flesh but quickned by the spirit the holy Ghost by which Spirit also he went and preached to the spirits in prison which sometime were disobedient to God when once or at that time that that the long-suffering or forbearance of God waited in the dayes of Noah while the Arke was preparing From which Text doe the erroneous Antichristian Doctors of Rome gather and conclude that Christ betwixt his death and Resurrection divinely in his God-head went amongst and preached unto the Infernall damned spirits and to this purpose have inserted those their owne diabolicall words and Doctrine amongst the Apostles doctrine and made the same Catholicall as part of a Church-article to believe the same as faith unto salvation This doctrine interpretation is antichristian because it doth contradict the Doctrine and words of Jesus Christ himselfe who said to the penitent Thiefe upon the crosse To day shalt thou be with me in Paradise To be in Paradise is to be in a place of pleasure this Paradise was Gods kingdome of glory which is Christs kingdome as the Spirit revealed the same to that Thiefe who said Lord remember me when thou commest into thy Kingdome The humane bodie of Jesus that same day after he was dead was laid safe in Josephs Tomb or grave which is called hell where there is no pleasure neither can a dead body take any pleasure therefore the humane dead body could not that day be in Paradise and for Christs Divine Spirit or God-head at all to be or that day to be amongst the damned spirits could not then that day be in Paradise because the damned spirits are not in pleasure but excluded from pleasure and reserved in chaines of darknesse unto the great and terrible day of the Lord where no pleasure is Therefore it is an infallible truth that when Jesus Christ said to the Thiefe to day shalt thou be with me in Paradise he spake of his own divine Spirit or God-head and of the thiefe's invisible internall immortall eternall spirit or soule which came from God and not of their mortall bodies which came from the earth and lay in the earth And when he spake of Paradise he did not speak of that earthly Paradise in Eden into which the man was put after his creation but of that heavenly Paradise into which man should be fetched after his redemption by a resurrection in which Paradise as Jesus Christ affirmeth is pleasure for evermore and so are the Romish Doctors and their antichristian diabolicall doctrine with their false interpreation confuted The true meaning of the holy Ghost in Peter by those words of Peter are thus to be interpreted and understood that Peter and all others by God appointed for that purpose into whom the holy Ghost was sent and spake as the Spirit gave them utterance did not speak preach or reveale the will or mind of God to the mortall bodies of men because the mortall bodies of men are to perish and so cannot for ever retaine the word of God which is to endure for ever as Jesus Christ saith Heaven and Earth that is the whole mortality shall passe away but not one jot or tittle of my word shall pass away But the Spirit of God doth direct the word of God to the immortall eternall soules or spirits of men because the souls or spirits of men and the word of God are to endure for ever and so the souls are able to retain the word for ever And every soule of man is an immortall eternall living spirit
