We Know And Maintain That The Soules Of The Godly Are Transported Immediatly Out Of Their Bodily Prisons, Not Into The Papists Purgatory, Nor Into The Elysian Fields, But Into Abrahams Bosome, Into The Hand Of God, & Into The Heauenly Paradise.

We know & maintaine concerning the soules of the wicked, that they wander not into the fires & ashes of mountaines

Or into visible ice, but immediatly are carried away into vtter darknesse, where is weeping & gnashing of teeth, where there is colde also, & fire not comon, but far beyond our knowledge & curious disputation. Where not onely bodies, but soules also, that is spirituall substances are tormented. And we do also hold, that the Islanders are no whit nearer vnto this extreame & darke prison, in regard of the situation of place, then the Germans, Danes, Frenchmen, Italians, or any other nation whatsoeuer. Neither is it any thing to the purpose, at all to dispute of the place or situation of this dungeon. It is sufficient for vs, that (by the grace and assistance of our Lord Iesus Christ, with whose precious blood we are redeemed) we shall neuer see that vtter darknesse, nor feele the rest of the torments that be there. Now let vs here shut vp the disputation concerning the hell of Island.
