Theophilus. If they had well understanded that which Jesus Christ said unto the thief: This day shalt thou 1be with me in Paradise, and how Jesus Christ descended into hell, when his soul was sorrowful, and in anguish, even unto the death, and that he hath drunken up the cup of the wrath and furor of God, and hath borne his judgement and our malediction and curse, and the damnation due unto our sins, insomuch that he was stricken & beaten of God, & hath suffered death, after which he descended into the sepulchre or grave, they should not have needed again to make the soul of Jesus Christ to descend from Paradise, in which it was, for to go into hell. For it is sufficiently given unto the spirits of his elect to understand, which have received consolation, and unto those of the reprobate, declaring unto them from what goodness they were deprived without descending or ascending.
Theophilus. If they had wel vnderstanded that which Iesus Christ sayd vnto the théefe: This day shalt thou 1be with me in Paradise, and how Iesus Christ descended into hell, when his soule was sorrowfull, and in anguish, euen vnto the death, and that he hath dronken vp the cup of the wrath and furor of God, and hath borne his iudgement and our malediction and curse, and the dampnation due vnto our sinnes, insomuch that he was stroken & beaten of God, & hath suffered death, after which he descended into the sepulchre or graue, they should not haue néeded againe to make the soule of Iesus Christ to descend from Paradise, in which it was, for to goe into hell. For it is sufficiently giuen vnto the spirites of his elect to vnderstand, which haue receiued consolation, and vnto those of the reprobate, declaringe vnto them from what goodnesse they were depriued without descending or assending.
