speech_n be_v metaphorical_a and_o figurative_a and_o be_v a_o figurative_a speech_n fit_a to_o make_v the_o article_n of_o a_o creed_n what_o tho_o to_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n be_v a_o figurative_a speech_n and_o in_o the_o creed_n be_v it_o not_o a_o figurative_a speech_n which_o custom_n have_v make_v literal_a and_o be_v descend_v into_o hell_n a_o speech_n make_v literal_a by_o any_o custom_n and_o if_o any_o man_n be_v doubtful_a still_o whether_o this_o article_n ought_v to_o be_v expound_v literal_o or_o no_o he_o may_v do_v well_o to_o ask_v counsel_n of_o the_o article_n which_o say_v he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n for_o both_o the_o article_n be_v express_v in_o a_o like_a phrase_n there_o seem_v great_a reason_n to_o take_v they_o both_o in_o a_o like_a sense_n and_o see_v his_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n be_v certain_o mean_v literal_o therefore_o certain_o also_o mean_v literal_o his_o descend_v into_o hell_n but_o what_o authority_n have_v we_o for_o this_o interpretation_n indeed_o authority_n most_o irrefragable_a first_o a_o general_a consent_n of_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n then_o of_o all_o the_o learned_a writer_n in_o the_o age_n follow_v then_o in_o our_o own_o time_n of_o a_o infinite_a number_n we_o may_v name_v these_o alexander_n gyll_n john_n mayer_n alexander_n nowell_n the_o reverend_a dean_n of_o paul_n and_o chief_o the_o learned_a bishop_n of_o winchester_n thomas_n bilson_n and_o which_o be_v more_o than_o all_o these_o and_o not_o slight_o to_o be_v account_v of_o in_o the_o direct_n of_o our_o opinion_n the_o tenet_n of_o our_o church_n of_o england_n as_o deane_n nowell_n write_v in_o his_o catechism_n and_o as_o there_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v great_a diversity_n of_o opinion_n about_o his_o descend_a itself_o so_o there_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v as_o great_a diversity_n of_o opinion_n about_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o descend_v but_o though_o his_o descend_v into_o hell_n be_v a_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n yet_o the_o cause_n for_o which_o he_o descend_v be_v none_o and_o therefore_o though_o we_o be_v tie_v of_o necessity_n to_o believe_v that_o yet_o we_o be_v at_o our_o liberty_n for_o believe_v of_o this_o and_o need_v to_o believe_v no_o more_o of_o it_o than_o we_o see_v good_a reason_n to_o make_v it_o probable_a and_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o trouble_v ourselves_o with_o debate_v of_o circumstance_n which_o do_v but_o serve_v to_o breed_v debate_n can_v we_o not_o believe_v that_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n unless_o we_o know_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o descend_v shall_v the_o israelites_n have_v do_v well_o to_o forbear_v the_o obey_n of_o god_n commandment_n for_o wear_v clothes_n mix_v of_o linen_n and_o woollen_a until_o they_o may_v know_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o wear_v they_o and_o do_v any_o man_n know_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o it_o to_o this_o day_n some_o indeed_o and_o of_o the_o high_a rank_n hold_v this_o opinion_n that_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n be_v only_o to_o triumph_v but_o be_v there_o not_o other_o and_o those_o no_o mean_a one_o neither_o that_o be_v of_o opinion_n he_o descend_v as_o well_o to_o suffer_v as_o to_o triumph_v first_o to_o suffer_v to_o perfect_v our_o redemption_n and_o then_o to_o triumph_v to_o establish_v our_o security_n first_o to_o suffer_v if_o not_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n at_o least_o some_o pain_n in_o hell_n thereby_o to_o pay_v the_o uttermost_a farthing_n that_o be_v due_a by_o we_o and_o then_o to_o triumph_v to_o receive_v the_o first_o earnest_n of_o reward_n that_o be_v due_a to_o himself_o if_o his_o descend_v into_o hell_n say_v they_o be_v only_o to_o subdue_v satan_n and_o to_o triumph_v over_o he_o why_o be_v it_o speak_v by_o david_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o a_o favour_n of_o god_n unto_o he_o thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n for_o what_o favour_n be_v it_o not_o to_o leave_v his_o soul_n there_o where_o it_o be_v in_o triumph_n it_o have_v be_v certain_o more_o favour_n to_o leave_v it_o there_o then_o to_o take_v it_o from_o thence_o it_o seem_v therefore_o there_o be_v something_o which_o he_o suffer_v in_o hell_n in_o which_o it_o be_v a_o favour_n of_o god_n not_o to_o leave_v he_o and_o may_v have_v be_v as_o mischievous_a to_o his_o soul_n as_o corruption_n to_o his_o body_n if_o god_n shall_v have_v leave_v he_o in_o it_o they_o add_v if_o christ_n have_v descend_v into_o hell_n and_o have_v not_o suffer_v some_o pain_n in_o hell_n he_o have_v leave_v undo_v his_o most_o meritorious_a work_n and_o have_v give_v over_o merit_v before_o it_o come_v to_o perfection_n for_o to_o be_v in_o hell_n and_o not_o despair_v of_o god_n mercy_n to_o suffer_v pain_n in_o hell_n and_o perhaps_o of_o hell_n and_o not_o murmur_v at_o god_n justice_n be_v work_n which_o in_o make_v perfection_n of_o merit_n show_v perfection_n of_o grace_n and_o as_o without_o divine_a assistance_n they_o can_v not_o be_v suffer_v so_o without_o suffering_n they_o can_v not_o be_v do_v they_o add_v far_o it_o be_v true_a he_o be_v not_o thrust_v into_o hell_n as_o the_o damn_a be_v who_o if_o they_o be_v not_o thrust_v into_o it_o will_v never_o come_v there_o but_o he_o descend_v into_o it_o and_o descend_v be_v a_o voluntary_a action_n he_o may_v have_v choose_v but_o as_o he_o willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o his_o body_n so_o he_o willing_o submit_v himself_o to_o the_o descent_n into_o hell_n in_o his_o soul_n for_o till_o his_o soul_n descend_v into_o hell_n it_o come_v not_o to_o the_o low_a degree_n of_o humiliation_n and_o till_o it_o come_v to_o the_o low_a degree_n of_o humiliation_n it_o can_v not_o come_v to_o the_o high_a of_o perfection_n and_o to_o the_o high_a of_o perfection_n it_o be_v to_o come_v before_o he_o can_v come_v to_o ascend_v on_o high_a and_o to_o lead_v captivity_n captive_a and_o these_o seem_v to_o be_v their_o reason_n who_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n aswell_o to_o suffer_v as_o to_o triumph_v but_o may_v not_o these_o reason_n be_v easy_o make_v appear_v to_o be_v unreasonable_a for_o when_o david_n make_v christ_n to_o say_v thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n be_v it_o because_o he_o suffer_v in_o hell_n or_o be_v it_o not_o rather_o that_o though_o he_o only_o triumph_v in_o hell_n yet_o his_o joy_n of_o triumph_v be_v not_o so_o great_a to_o make_v he_o forget_v by_o who_o assistance_n he_o triumph_v and_o therefore_o to_o acknowledge_v that_o if_o god_n shall_v leave_v he_o in_o hell_n he_o shall_v have_v cause_n to_o leave_v triumph_v and_o to_o say_v that_o if_o he_o have_v not_o suffer_v in_o hell_n he_o have_v leave_v undo_v his_o most_o meritorious_a work_n be_v it_o not_o direct_o to_o cross_v saint_n paul_n where_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n pacify_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o christ_n suffer_v as_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o what_o need_v then_o of_o any_o more_o suffer_v by_o descend_v into_o hell_n and_o for_o degree_n of_o humiliation_n do_v we_o read_v of_o any_o low_a can_v we_o think_v of_o any_o low_a than_o this_o that_o exinanivit_fw-la seipsum_fw-la he_o empty_v himself_o of_o all_o glory_n become_v of_o no_o reputation_n and_o humble_v himself_o to_o the_o shameful_a death_n of_o the_o bitter_a cross_n but_o beside_o these_o answer_n we_o may_v not_o omit_v to_o observe_v here_o a_o distinction_n which_o offer_v itself_o in_o the_o article_n concern_v christ_n and_o may_v seem_v to_o give_v some_o light_n to_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o controversy_n for_o the_o five_o first_o article_n seem_v to_o concern_v christ_n as_o only_o a_o patient_a conceive_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n suffer_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n be_v crucify_a dead_a and_o bury_v all_o article_n concern_v he_o as_o a_o patient_a and_o in_o which_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o only_o suffer_v but_o the_o five_o late_a article_n concern_v he_o only_o as_o a_o agent_n he_o descend_v into_o hell_n he_o rise_v the_o three_o day_n from_o the_o dead_a he_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n he_o shall_v come_v from_o thence_o to_o judge_v the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a all_o article_n concern_v he_o as_o a_o agent_n and_o as_o in_o those_o of_o his_o suffering_n there_o be_v a_o plenitude_n of_o merit_n so_o in_o these_o of_o his_o action_n there_o be_v a_o plenitude_n of_o reward_n and_o now_o if_o we_o keep_v we_o well_o to_o this_o
