 eede of that heauenly race: It is an old aying and rightly reported, that Hercules and Bacchus going downe to hell, they were intituted in holly orders, and that they were emboldned to goe thither of the Goddee Eleuina. But they which being wrapped in wickednes haue led an vngodly life, are natched vp by the Furies, and by them carried through the lowet hell into deepe darkenes and vtter confuion, where the place and abode of the wicked is, and where the three core daughters of Danaus dwell, whoe punihment is continually to fill a ort of bottomlee veels, where alo is to bee eene the vnquencheable thirt of Tantalus, the gnawen Entrailes of Titius, and the endles tone of Siiphus, whoe end beginneth a newe labour. There bee they rent of wilde beats, continually corched with burning Lamps pained with all kind of torments, and afflicted with endlee pennance. Thee thinges I remember that I haue heard Gobrias tell; but you Axiochus may iudge of them as you lit. Only this I know and auredly hold fat, that euery mans minde is immortall and paing out of this life feeleth no griefe nor orrowe. VVherefore O Axiochus whether thou be carryed into thoe highet Pallaces or lower Vawts, needes mut it bee that thou halt bee bleed becaue thou hat liued well and godly.
