Hyll.

I brought two inconueniences if this article were de∣nyed, to moue the people not to leaue out any. It is not vnknowne to you that Seruetus and Carliell deny it, and diuers others now liuing among vs (by reason of the nega∣tiue doctrine which is preached of your side) will not re∣peate this branch of the Créede he descended into hell. And some haue sayd to my face that Thomas Aquinas did in∣sert it into the Créede. Of these men I knowe too many, against whome I did direct my speach, for feare least some might be in that populous assembly. Bad doo they that de∣ny the personall descending, but worse do they which denye both personall and potentiall. Therefore I was not contra∣ry to my selfe, but contrary to those which haue giuen occa∣sion that so comfortable an article of our Christian faith, should be put out of the Créede. You say it was my parte to deale plainely. I hope I did deale plainely, for I preached the truth. Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit. Flatterye getteth sréends, truth getteth hatred. I knowe the eares of that Auditory did itche for other matter, but I am Gods Minister, and I haue preached Gods truth, which I will (by the he••he of my God) defend against all gainsayers what∣soeuer.
