A13094	A christal glasse for christian vvomen containing, a most excellent discourse, of the godly life and Christian death of Mistresse Katherine Stubs, who departed this life in Burton vpon Trent, in Staffordshire the 14. day of December. 1590. With a most heauenly confession of the Christian faith, which shee made a little before her departure: as also a wonderfull combate betwixt Sathan and her soule: worthie to be imprinted in letters of golde, and are to be engrauen in the tables of euery Christian heart. Set downe word for word, as she spake it, as neere as could be gathered: by Phillip Stubbes Gent.	Stubbes, Phillip.	1592 (1592)	STC 23382; ESTC S104605	19,337	22

his owne Sonne Christ Iesus foorth of his owne bosome into this miserable world to take our nature vpon him and that in the wombe of a Uirgine without spot or blemish of sinne and without the helpe of man by the wonderfull operation and ouershadowing of the holy ghost And as I constan●ly beléeue that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh according to the scriptures so I vnfaignedly beleeue that he hath offered vp his blessed bodie vpon the aulter of the Crosse as a sacrifice propiciatorie satisfactorie and expiatorie for the sinnes of ●he whole world and for me the chiefest of all sinners By v●r●ue power and efficacie of which Sacrifice and oblation onely I trust and beleeue to be saued and by the merits of the sh●ading of the bloud of this immaculate lambe Christ Iesus to be set free pardoned of all my sinnes whatsoeuer And whereas the professed enemies of GOD the Papists doo bragge of their good workes of their merits righteousnesse and deserts I here before you al in the presence of God his holy Angels do vtterly ren●unce abandon forsake all my own merits righteousnes and deserts as filthie dounge acknowledging my merits to bee the merits of GOD in Christ who is made vnto me righteousnesse holines sanctification and redemption For I am assured that if the Lord should wey my very righteousnes in the ballance of his iustice rewarding mee according to the same I should receiue nothing but iust damnation for my deserts I doo further beleeue and confesse that Iesus Christ hauing suffered death vpon the Crosse for me and all mankind rose againe to life the third day after by the spirituall power of his Godhead conquering thereby sinne death hel Sathan and al his hellish band I do also beleeue that the same Iesus Christ after his most victorious resurrection ascended into heauen in the sight of the Apostles and holy Saints a cloude receiuing him out of their sight there not onely to prepare a place for vs but also to make cōtinuall prayer and intercession for vs to God the Father at whose right hande hee now sitteth in equall glorie and blisse for euermore I do constantly beleeue that the Heauens must holde his corporall presence till the day of iudgement that his blessed bodie is circumscriptible and contained in one locall place and can not be present in euery place at one and the same time his Deitie and his Godhead notwithstanding being in euery place at once and fulfilling all places and yet contained in no place For it is against the nature of a true bodie to be present in many places at once And therefore the Papists in effect denie that bodie of Christ to bee a true essentiall and naturall bodie by teaching it to be present in their so many and sundry Pixes at once I doe beleeue and confesse that this Iesus Christ shall come at the latter day of iudgement when the number of Gods elect shall be fulfilled in the same likenes that he was seene goe vp into heauen and with the same naturall bodie to iudge both the quicke and the dead and to rewarde euery man according to his workes At which day I doe constantly beleeue that all flesh I meane of mankind onely shall rise againe by the omnipotent power of God whereby hee is able to subdue all things to himselfe not one hayre of our heads lacking Then death shall yeeld vp his dead the graue his dead the sea his dead hell his dead And then shall the soules of the godly of the elect and chosen of God enter into their owne bodies againe and be reunited together their bodies now being renued altered and changed for being before corruptible bodies now they shall bee made incorruptible being before mortall bodies now they shall bée made immortall being before filthy and vncleane now they shall bee made cleane and pure like to the glorious bodie of Christ Iesus shining as the Sunne for euer in the kingdome of heauen where they shall dwell for euer in such ioy as no heart can thinke no tongue expresse nor pen is able to write Upon the other side the soules of the wicked and reprobate shall bee vnited to their proper bodies and both together bée cast into hell fire where is nothing but weeping wailing and gnashing of téeth for euermore Further I beléeue and confesse that my soule and the soules of al the elect children of God immediately after their departure out of their bodyes doe goe into the kingdome of heauen into the hands of God being guided conducted thither by the ministerie of the Angels of God not into Purgatorie Lymbo patrum or any other place whatsoeuer For whither the soule of Christ was receiued when he cryed Father into thy hands I commend my spirit thither are all the soules of the children of God that die in the true fayth of Iesus Christ receiued immediately after their departure hence In the Gospell after saint Luke we reade that the soule of poore Lazarus of blessed Lazarus straight after his death was caried into heauen by the Angels of God and not into popish Purgatorie which was not hatched almost in 200. yeres after The soule of the penitent and faithfull théefe was caried straightway into Paradice for so Christ tolde him this day shalt thou be with me in Paradice that is in the kingdome of heauen and not in Purgatorie Salomo saith cap. 3. The soules of the righteous are in the handes of God and there shall no torments come nigh them Christ saith he went into heauen to prepare a place for vs then not into Purgatorie except they wil haue their Purgatorie to be in heauen He saith further that where hée is there shall his seruants be also But I hope they wil not say that Christ is in Purgatorie but in Heauen and thither shall al the soules of the faithfull ascend immediately And therefore is the opinion of popish Purgatory both blasphemous sacrilegious But the true Purgatorie in deede is this the blood of Iesus Christ which clenseth vs from all sinne no other Purgatorie doo I know of by the worde of God nor acknowledge I beleeue also and confesse that man is iustified that is pronounced iust before God freed from sinne and al punishments due for sinne by●r true and liuely ●aith in the bloud of Christ onely and not by his workes merits righteousnesse or deserts neither yet by any inherent righteousnesse in himselfe as t●e blasphemous Papists teach nor by any other meanes whatsoeu●r And therefore the Apostle to th● Rom. 4. was 〈◊〉 to say that if Abraham were iustified by works then had he wherein to reioyce but not with God for he saith afterward in the fift chapter Being iustified by faith we haue peace tow●rds God through Iesus Chrst. And therefo●e doo I constantly beleeue that wee are iustified by faith onely and not by the works of the law for if good
