This the devils stirring up of such spirits of sedition, is an evident argument,1 that the light is come forth, for his word is a broad, when the devil rusheth, when he roareth, when he stirreth up such busy spirits, to slander it. My entente is not to entreat of this matter at this time. I trust the people will not be carried away with these new arrogant spirits, I doubt not, but good preachers will labour against them. But now I will say a word, and herein I protest first of all not arrogantly to determine, and define it, I will contend with no man for it, I will not have it be prejudice to any body, but I offer it unto you to consider and weay it.

There be some great clerks that take my part, and I perceive not what evil can come of it, in saying, that our Saviour Christ did not only, in soul descend into hell but also that he suffered in hell such pains as the damned spirits did suffer there. Surely. I believe verily for my part, that he suffered the pains of hell proportionably, as it corresponds and answers to the whole sin of the world. He would not suffer only bodily in the garden and upon the cross, but also in his soul, when it was from the body, which was a pain dew for our sin.
