The sence of the article of Christ his descension into hell.	Morton, Thomas, 1564-1659.	1609 (1609)	STC 18181; ESTC S103393	25,429	38

matter_n t._n h._n 2_o this_o position_n with_o i_o be_v a_o impregnable_a bulwark_n of_o my_o religion_n viz._n whosoever_o do_v pertinacious_o reject_v any_o point_n of_o faith_n accept_v by_o

both_o in_o his_o word_n write_v and_o by_o apostolical_a tradition_n in_o his_o word_n write_v for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o perspicuous_a than_o this_o say_n 27._o thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o

joh._n he_o have_v this_o clear_a resolution_n who_o be_v he_o that_o be_v not_o leave_v in_o hell_n christ_n jesus_n but_o in_o his_o soul_n only_o who_o be_v he_o that_o lay_v in_o the_o grave_n

article_n of_o the_o creed_n final_o you_o may_v remember_v that_o s._n athanasius_n in_o his_o creed_n which_o your_o 8._o church_n pretend_v to_o admit_v thorough_o etc._n etc._n have_v premise_v this_o denunciation_n whosoever_o keep_v not_o the_o catholic_a faith_n entire_a and_o inviolate_a without_o doubt_n he_o shall_v perish_v everlasting_o do_v afterward_o subnect_a this_o article_n

of_o christ_n his_o descent_n into_o hell_n be_v not_o only_o a_o matter_n to_o be_v believe_v but_o also_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v not_o
