3. Per profunditatem. The depth of Hell: The Scripture is frequent to testify Hell a deep place, and beneath us. aCapernaum shall be cast down to Hell. Solomon so speaks. bThe way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from Hell beneath. And of this Harlot. cHer house is the way to Hell, going down to the chambers of death. dHer feet go down to death, her steps take hold on Hell. Down and beneath do witness the depth of Hell. There are three places: Earth, Heaven, Hell. Earth ⟨p. 186⟩we all enjoy, good and bad, promiscuously. Heaven is prepared for the good; and it is upwards. eIf ye be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above. Hell is ordained for the wicked; and it is downward; called here, profundum, a depth. To define the local place of Hell, it is too deep for me: I leave it to deeper judgements. I do not give D•monax answer, being asked where Hell was. fExpecta simul ac illuc venero, et tibi per literas significabo. Tarry till I come thither, and I will send thee word by letters. No, I only say this. There is one, we are sure of it; let us by a good life be as sure to scape it.
