is it not a great reproch and dishonor vnto our Lord Iesus Christ to say that hee was accursed and that before God Pro. No not a whit for he through his almighty power by taking the cursse from vs vnto himselfe did in such sort make it voide and of none effect that hee himselfe neuerthelesse continued still so blessed that hee was able to fill vs also with his blessings Pap. Declare that followeth Pro. In so much as death was a punishment appointed vnto man for sinne therefore our Sauiour Christ did suffer death and by suffering ouer-came it And to the intent also to make it the more certainely knowne vnto vs that his death was not counterfeit it pleased him also to bee buried after the common manner of men Pap. But it appeareth not that any profit commeth to vs by this that Christ hath wonne the victory of death seeing that wee notwithstanding cease not to dye Pro. That doth not hinder for the death of the faithfull is now nothing else but a ready passage to a better life Pap. It followeth then necessary hereof that wee ought in no wise to bee afraide of death as though it were a dreadfull thing but rather it behooueth vs willingly to walke the trace of our head and Captaine Iesus Christ Pro. It is euen so The tenth Sunday Pap. What is the sence of that clause Hee descended into Hell Pro. That Christ did not onely suffer naturall death which is a separation of the soule from the body but also that his soule after this seperation did descend into Hell or the place of the damned Pap. For what consideration would hee descend thither Pro. To shew the wicked that they were iustly condemned because they beléeued not in him and to triumph ouer the diuell in his own tents whither he pursued him and that his victorie and the soueraintie of his humane nature might appeare ouer all and lastly that we might not descend and abide there for euer he descended and returned according as it was prophecied of him Thou wilt not leaue my soule in Hell nor suffer thy holy one to see corruption Pap. Was his descending into Hell a part of his passion or humiliation Pro. No but of his victory and exaltation according to that testimony of S. Paul He spoiled principalities and powers and he led captiuity captiue This he did in Hell euen in that place where the Diuell had most power whereby both the diuell might be the more disgraced and Christ himselfe more honoured Pap. What testimonies of Scripture haue you to prooue this Pro. Psal 16.10 Thou wilt not leaue my soule in Hell which is cited by Saint Peter Act. 2.31 also Eph. 4.9 In that he ascended what is it but that hee sirst descended into the lowest parts of the earth Also Rom. 10.7 say not in thy heart who shall ascend into Heauen this is to bring downe Christ or who shall descend into the deepe this is to bring Christ againe from the dead what can be vnderstood by the déepe but Hell as it is taken Luc. 8.31 And they requested him not to send them into the deepe The eleuenth Sunday Pap. May wee now gather by this what profit commeth to the faithfull by the death of Iesus Christ Pro. Yea very well and first of all wee sée that it is a sacrifice wherewith he hath fully satisfied his Fathers iudgment in our behalfe and thereby also he hath appeased Gods wrath and hath brought vs into his fauour againe Secondly that his bloud is a washing of our soules from all maner of spottes And finally that hee hath so cleane wiped away our sinnes through his death that GOD will neuer here-after haue remembrance of them so that the Obligation which was against vs is now cancelled and made voyde Pap. Haue wee none other profit of his death Pro. Yes verily that is if wee bee true members of Christ our old man is crucified and our flesh is mortified to the end that none euill lusts doe hereafter beare rule in vs. The twelfth sunday Papist Expound the Article following Pro. Hee rose the third day from death to life wherein hee shewed that hee had gotten the victory of death and sinne For through his resurrection hee hath swallowed vp death hee brake a sunder the chaines of the diuell and finally hee destroyed all his power Pap. Tell mee how many wayes this resurrection of Christ doth profit vs Pro. Thrée manner of wayes The first that wee haue fully obtained to bee righteous thereby Secondly it is a sure gage of our immortality Thirdly that if wee bee indéed truly pertakers of his resurrection wee rise now in this present world into a new kinde of life whereby wee serue GOD onely and lead our liues agréeable to his will The thirteenth Sunday Papist Let vs now goe forward to the rest Pro. Hee ascended into heauen Pap. Went CHRIST vp into heauen in such sort that hee is no longer in the earth Pro. Yea for when hee had performed wholy all things that were enioyned him by the commandement of his Father and had accomplished all that was necessary for our saluation it was not néedfull hee should remaine any longer in the world Pap. What profit haue we by this Ascension Pro. We receiue double profit thereby for since that our Sauiour Christ is entred into Heauen in our name euen in like maner as he came down from thence for our sakes he hath therby made an open entry into the same place for vs giuing withal an assured knowledge that the gate of heauen is now open to receiue vs which was before shut through our sinnes The second profit is that he appeared in the sight of God the father to make Intercession for vs and to bee our Aduocate to make answere for vs. Pap. But is our sauiour Christ so ascended into heauen that hee is no more heere with vs Pro. Not so for hée him-selfe promiseth the contrary that is that he will bee present with vs vnto the worlds end Pap. Is it ment of his bodily presence that hee maketh promise soe to continue with vs Pro. No verily for it is another matter to speake of his body which was taken vp into Heauen and of his power which is spred abroad throughout the whole world Pap. Declare the meaning of this sentence he sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Pro. The vnderstanding of that is that he hath receiued into his handes the gouernance of Heauen and Earth whereby he is King and Ruler ouer all Pap. What signifieth this word right hand and the sitting at the right hand Pro. It is a similitude or manner of spéech borrowed of earthly Princes which are wont to place on their right side such as they substitute next vnder them to rule in their name Pap. Then thou meanest nothing else therby but that which Saint Paul speaketh that he was appointed head of the Church set in authority aboue all powers and that he
