Declaration of generall corruption of Religion Scripture and all learning wrought by D. Bilson While he breedeth a new opinion that our Lord went from Paradise to Gehenna to triumph ever the Devills To the most reverend Father in God Ionn W● Doct. in Divinitie and Metropolitan of England By HVGH BROVGHTON 1603. DECLARATION OF GEnerall corruption of Religion Scripture and all learning wrought by D. Bilson c. DOCTOR Bilson inventing a new opinion that our Lord descended from Paradise to Gehenna to triumph over the devils troubled all Religion and learned writers In religion thus he missed Wee beleeve that Devils are yet in this world and the scriptures assure vs of that Wherefore it where most ridiculous to feigne a iourney to Devils thether where they were not If some were as carriers of soules yet not as tormented and dwellers there before the time Againe Gehenna were an holy place if the altar which sanctifieth all that it toucheth went thither But none may so thinke And Devils in this world knew Christ to be the holy one of God and tremble And no neede know we why he should goe to Gehenna for them and God telleth all that we may know Besides soules in Hades holie and contrarie know all the others case as men here that haue but a great ditch betwixt them and they are much deceaved who thinke Hell to be in this world lowe in the earth Before Gods throne the wicked are tormented for euer and euer So both sides knowe one the others case that without comming to them they see what is done And our Lord would not haue taught vs Luc. 16. that none can passe from one sort to the other if he had bene to take that iourney The Bible taught no such dream Therefore it is but a dreame And thus religion is disturbed Scriptures D. Bilson brings three as hauing no more the 16. Psal Which is thus Thou wilt not leaue my vitall soule to death and by a consequent neyther my body in ayer or graue nor my soule among soules till the bodie see corruption So the generall consent of Ebrews sake the wordes Yet hee would thus translate all Thou wilt not forsake my soule in Hell The nipper of others as arrogant in Ebrewe studies shal bee told that hee hath missed foure times in foure wordes Hebrews shall iudge and for the 70. all Greekes the rare Fathers The second scripture that he durst adventure vpon is this Him God raysed vp losing the sores of death Saint Peter spake to Sadduces that would not heare of soule spirit and Hell And that the sores that made the soule leaue the body were by Gods power disannulled and it receaued the soule and life And therin Christ brake for vs the bandes of death D. Bilson would haue death the second death and that our Lordes soule had the second death You know full well that his soule shall haue the second death for ever and ever vnlesse he reuoke this blasphemie It is great pitie that D. Bilson consulted not with others before such wordes fled through the hedge of his teeth Higher blasphemies neuer were vttered The third and last text of all that he durst trust is cleane contrarie to his purpose shewing the plain effect of the Ghospell Say not in thy harte who can go vp to heauen to bring Christ down Or who can go to the Deepe to bring Christ from the dead But if thou beleeue that Jesus is Lord and that God raysed him from death thou salt be saved The incarnation and resurrection both made plaine are by St. Paul the heads of doubt among Iewës But D. Bilson dreameth of a Hell here Chrysostome and Oecumenius would haue taught him better And these most Holy scriptures the ioy of our soules hath he most grievously corrupted Endles be the faultes in this marring of scripture and no time would serue to write them Moses now by him hath not all Religion For he could not father vpon him this doctrine of going from Paradise to Hell So neither all the Prophets volumes And David once only and in a sence neuer known till Doctor Bilsons daies teacheth that our Lorde going a victour and triumpher ouer the powers of darknes from Paradise as vnto greater danger by millions of degrees then before doeth praise God that he did not forsake his soule in Hell but losed the sores of the second death before him and to that deepe our mindes must descend by D. Bilson if we will be saved Thus vile for wisdome he maketh the rocke of salvation By D. Bilson our Lord hauing passed his danger here where he praied vnto him that could saue him from danger and being made perfect and gone through the veyle of his flesh into heauen after all this was in greater danger then before which needed a miracle of the God head to lose before him the sorrows of Hell Otherwise the Humanity had not by it selfe gone through all but had perished in the world invisible saving that God did not forsake his soule in Hell And of this danger David must speake to the prophane world before they beleeued the resurrection and scante the creation of visible things and of spirits had heard little and of soules immortalitie and Paradise and neuer heard where out of this world devils keepe All these things being stepped ouer a danger after all was performed must be holden from David by words neuer so before vnderstood to make the Scripture a nose of waxe and all the old Testament vnperfect But for one place drawen beyond all wit Also the Gospell must be vnperfect omitting parte of beliefe And all Saint Pauls fourteene Epistles but for one terme Abyssus taken in the Devils sence not in Heathen or 70. sense So all fall The generall consent of Ebrewes in Baba Bathra was cited that they make this sence Psal 16. He dyeth not of whom that is so spoken in strict proprietie and Peter addeth but this to die he was but not to tarrie in death to corruption All Ebrewes Doctor Bilson reiecteth for their grammer sence of Sheol None ever rejected all Latins for Latine or French for the French yet D. Bilson dareth reject all Hebrewes for Hebrew such an Hebrician is he By the same doctrine he might teach neuer to hope for sound knowledge in any parte of the lawe no not for one letter whether it hath the forme that God wrought in the two tables or a later invented And for the very forme as Tau in Ezechiel mistaken and Rempham much coyle is kept And in our daylie Hebrew Bibles wordes 848. come in the margine by Gods authority and yet checke not the text the French of Late translating the margine Esai 9. troubled some greatly gathering a contradiction betwixt the old and new translation For all this no D. without Rabbins helpe can tell what wordes make the Bible A certeyn helper of D. Bilson who can assiste
