Hillarius. I do believe that the Christians and true faithful people have called their dead trespasses: signifying by that same that the death of the faithful is no death, but only a passage for to enter into life, & those which are dead 1in the faith of Jesus Christ, according to his promises, are passed from death to life. And therefore they are rightly called trespasses because ye they are already passed over, & are come unto the port of health, in which they rest in joy and consolation with Jesus Christ their Lord, having escaped all the dangers, & the great gulfs of the sea of this world, 2of sin, death & hell. But sithence ye the pope hath begun to reign in steed of Jesus Christ, & ye he hath take the office of Pluto the god of hell, & of Eacus, Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Neoptolemus the infernal judges, as a new king, he ⟨p. 88⟩would change the laws, estates, habitations & manners of hewing of his subjects ye be dead, aswell as of those y• be alive, 3& endeavoureth himself with all his power & strength to abolish & put out the laws, ordinances, institutions, holy Canons & inviolated decrees, which Jesus Christ hath given aswell to the living as to the dead by his prophets & apostles, passed, confirmed, ratified & sealed by the arrest of the celestial & beavenly court & by the great counsel & wisdom of god, of the holy trinity of the father, the son & the holy ghost, of all the angels & archangels, Saints & Saints, patriarchs, apostles, Evangelists, Martyrs, Confessors & Mirgins, to the end y• the faithful without any other, should have place in heaven, in earth & in hell.
Hillarius. I doe beléeue that the Christians and true faithfull people haue called their dead trespasses: signifiyng by yt same that the death of the faithfull is no death, but only a passage for to enter into life, & those which are dead 1in ye faith of Iesus Christ, according to his promises, are passed from death to life. And therfore they are rightly called trespasses bicause ye they are already passed ouer, & are come vnto the port of health, in which they rest in ioy and consolation wc Iesus Christ their Lorde, hauing escaped all the daūgers, & the great gculfes of ye sea of this world, 2of sinne, death & hell. But sithence ye the pope hath begun to reign in stéed of Iesus Christ, & ye he hath take the office of Pluto ye god of hel, & of Eacus, Minos, Rhadamantus, and Neoptolemus ye infernal iudges, as a newe king, hée ⟨p. 88⟩would chaūge ye laws, estates, habitations & māners of huing of his subiects ye be dead, aswel as of those y• be aliue, 3& endeuoreth himselfe wc all his power & strength to abolish & put out ye laws, ordinances, institutions, holy Canōs & inuiolated decrées, which Iesus Christ hath giuen aswel to ye liuing as to ye dead by his prophets & apostles, passed, confirmed, ratefied & sealed by the arrest of the celestiall & beauenly court & by the great counsell & wisedome of god, of the holy trinitie of ye father, the sonne & the holy ghost, of all the angels & archangels, Saincts & Sainctes, patriarkes, apostles, Euangelists, Martirs, Confessors & Mirgins, to the end y• the faithful wcout any other, should haue place in heauen, in earth & in hell.
