The defence of the article: Christ descended into Hell VVith arguments obiected against the truth of the same doctrine: of one Alexander Humes. All which reasons are confuted, and the same doctrine cleerely defended. By Adam Hyll, D. of Diuinity.

Humes Sectio. 6▪

For the other place you bring a ready answere out of* 1.1 Augustine, of that which is God, but not of that which is man: how ready soeuer this construction be, I am well assured it can not stand with the woords of Christ. Luk. 23. 43. This day shalt thou be with me in Paradice. For what I praye you could the Godhead of Christ goe to heauen in the future time, which was stil in heauen from all eternity? For this day shalt thou be with me in Para∣dice is al one, as if he had said: this day shal thou & I be in Paradice: which no man that hath one drop of braine in his head dare auouch of Christ who was neuer thence. But here you tell me that the future verbe is attributed to the theefe onely, and that which is giuen to Christ (with me) is limited with no bound of time. I told you euen now, that thou shalt be with me, is all one with, I and thou shall be together. But to let this passe, what

say you to the theefe then that said Luk. 23. 42. Remem∣ber me Maister when thou commest into thy kingdome, This theefe was not sure of your minde, for he did suppose that Christ to whom he spake was not yet in his king∣dome, and I am sure that Christ was so good a Doctor that if the poore theefe had mist his footing, he would haue set him vp againe. Thus you see that these two pla∣ces are to strong for your ordinance, if you haue no bet∣ter shot then this, we will spread our banner with Mag∣naest inuicta veritas.
