A defense of the sincere and true translations of the holie Scriptures into the English tong against the manifolde cauils, friuolous quarels, and impudent slaunders of Gregorie Martin, one of the readers of popish diuinitie in the trayterous Seminarie of Rhemes. By William Fvlke D. in Diuinitie, and M. of Pembroke haule in Cambridge. Wherevnto is added a briefe confutation of all such quarrels & cauils, as haue bene of late vttered by diuerse papistes in their English pamphlets, against the writings of the saide William Fvlke.

FVLK. 19. The difference of Mors & Infernus which Hierome maketh, can not alwaies stand, as I haue shewed of the hoare heades of Iacob, Ioab, and Shemei, which none but madde men will say, to haue descended into a receptacle of soules, beside other places of Scripture, where Sheol must of necessity signifie a place for the bo∣die. And euen those places of the Psalmes, that S. Hierom calleth to witnesse, do make against his error. For where Dauid sayth, Psal. 6. In hell who shall confesse vnto thee? How can it be true of the soules of the faithfull being in that holy hell Abrahams bosome? Did not Abraham

confesse vnto God, & acknowledge his mercie? Did not Lazarus the same, did not all the holy soules departed confesse God in Abrahams bosome? Were all those blessed soules so vnthankefull, that being carried into that place of rest, and comfort, none of them would cō∣fesse Gods benefits? It is plaine therefore, to the confu∣sion of your error, that Sheol in that place of Dauid must nedes signifie the graue, in which no man doth confesse, praise, or giue thanks vnto God, of whom in death there is no remembraunce. Therefore he desireth life and re∣storing of health, that he may praise God in his Church or congregation. Likewise in the Psal. 54. where he pro∣phesieth vnto the wicked a sodaine death, such as befell to Chore, Dathan, & Abiram, which went downe quicke into the graue. Not into hell, whether come no bodies of men liuing, but the soules of men that are dead.
