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 public_a consent_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n he_o be_v a_o heretic_n and_o no_o member_n of_o her_o communion_n for_o which_o consideration_n i_o be_o as_o tender_o affect_v in_o this_o article_n as_o in_o any_o other_o of_o my_o creed_n esteem_v myself_o oblige_v thereunto_o for_o two_o respect_n first_o because_o the_o essential_a truth_n thereof_o be_v clear_o reveal_v unto_o i_o by_o god_n 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 soul_n in_o hell_n etc._n etc._n by_o apostolical_a tradition_n for_o what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o this_o article_n he_o descend_v in_o hell_n 3_o second_o i_o be_o move_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n for_o who_o say_v 99_o augustine_n deny_v that_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n unless_o he_o be_v a_o infidel_n and_o for_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o article_n 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 christ_n jesus_n but_o in_o his_o flesh_n only_o for_o the_o natural_a union_n of_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v dissolve_v but_o not_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o either_o with_o his_o person_n 4_o this_o truth_n be_v so_o patent_n and_o perspicuous_a i_o ask_v you_o now_o what_o reason_n have_v you_o for_o any_o part_n of_o your_o faith_n if_o you_o have_v not_o assurance_n in_o this_o and_o if_o you_o fall_v from_o this_o what_o 40._o certainty_n have_v you_o in_o any_o other_o point_n therefore_o it_o import_v your_o church_n to_o show_v a_o due_a conformity_n in_o this_o 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 as_o parcel_n of_o that_o catholic_a faith_n the_o answer_n no_o man_n may_v just_o discommend_v m._n hiogons_n resolution_n if_o he_o can_v make_v good_a all_o that_o he_o profess_v the_o head_n be_v three_o the_o first_o be_v the_o equal_a necessity_n of_o this_o article_n with_o any_o other_o and_o second_o the_o equal_a evidence_n for_o the_o proof_n hereof_o and_o last_o a_o general_a conformity_n of_o profession_n herein_o for_o the_o weight_n and_o necessity_n he_o pretend_v to_o be_v as_o tender_o affect_v in_o this_o article_n be_v in_o any_o other_o i_o will_v willing_o believe_v he_o but_o that_o in_o my_o book_n of_o apology_n in_o the_o same_o chapter_n from_o whence_o he_o now_o make_v his_o objection_n i_o propound_v the_o judgement_n of_o their_o learned_a professor_n and_o jesuite_n suarez_n who_o determine_v this_o question_n in_o these_o word_n 59_o there_o follow_v say_v he_o a_o doubt_n whether_o the_o truth_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 in_o the_o nicene_n creed_n nor_o set_v down_o by_o the_o apostle_n and_o because_o the_o father_n as_o namely_o augustine_n tertullian_n irenaeus_n origen_n have_v omit_v it_o in_o their_o exposition_n of_o the_o creed_n i_o answer_v say_v he_o that_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o certain_a that_o the_o apostle_n add_v this_o article_n if_o by_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n we_o understand_v a_o truth_n which_o all_o faithful_a man_n be_v bind_v explicit_o to_o know_v and_o believe_v i_o think_v it_o not_o necessary_a to_o reckon_v this_o among_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o matter_n altogether_o so_o necessary_a for_o all_o man_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n peradventure_o it_o be_v omit_v in_o the_o nicene_n creed_n the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o creed_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o fulfil_n the_o precept_n of_o faith_n this_o resolution_n m._n higgon_n doubtless_o there_o see_v wherein_o a_o odds_n of_o necessary_a

other_o point_n account_v it_o a_o essential_a truth_n clear_o reveal_v unto_o he_o by_o god_n both_o by_o apostolical_a tradition_n and_o by_o the_o word_n write_v and_o by_o custom_n of_o the_o
