A PETITION THO THE LORDES CHANcelours of both vniversities , & to all the noble LL. of Albion & Ierne , to help reformation of errours bred by not Knowing that To Katelthein eis adou in the Crede meaneth

A going vp to Paradise : & no going to Gehenna : nor feeling of Gehenna torment .

The ignorance of which article hath wroght much ruine to the Gospel :

Wher men geue over all resistance .

D . BANCROFT complained , R. H. to the LL. of Amsteldam , when j was preaching at Middelburg , that j called him Athean , vilain , jew , traytour . To these four j must answer . For the three first : he is no further charged then an allower of the comon notes : & so longe the King cannot help him . The jew Pharar hath caught him . Let him accept my defence for him , printed , & sent him , then yf he any wit haue , he will swear that my pen cleareth him from all blames which he wold fasten vpon him self . Now touching the treason of the Libel : The Earle of Argiles cosin Germane , which was with me at Geneva , told the K. how the senatours shewed him , that vpon Bancroftes libel , scoffing my hope in the scottish mist , a plot was Layd to kill me : hindering some hopes more then 40000 souldiers ▪ & 300. french crownes were offred me to hasten away : j beleued it not , till it came so nere that euen Beza made accompt j should never go away All this , ypon Bancroft his scophing of the Scottish mist . Touching the Diuinitie that to Descend to Hel in the Crede is to goe yp to Heauen : your honours see , that D. Bilson hath most mightilie proued that : so Bancroft allowing Bilson scoffeth him self : when he scoffeth that which D. Bilson proued to be most sure : that he must be a most open atheist scoffing him self in the depth of Diuinitie , or the K. must be the matter of his Libel : as the K. often sware in Scotland , that I should haue what I wold : for my dangers in his cause . And thus I answear . when the K. hath geven sentence , he may mot plead against that . I hope the K. will bridle him from that : by your Lps honorable aduertisement : & remember his vowed recompence .

Your Lordslips most humble . Hugh Broughton .
