Whoso doubteth the wisdom of the Enlightened One that surpasseth all knowledge of man and trusteth in the hope of reward, and would attain unto birth in Paradise by making the root of goodness to grow, shall be straitened in the womb of ignorance. Heavy is the sin of doubting the wisdom of the Buddha.
"Then the woman hath some bowels of mercy, though a Papist." "She even saith that she doubteth not that such as live honestly and faithfully by the light that is in them shall be saved. So when she saw she prevailed nothing with the maid, she left off her endeavours.
Meanwhile, for that she doubteth lest in this hard estate of their affairs, and the distrust they have conceived to be relieved from hence, they should from despair throw themselves into the course of Spain, her pleasure therefore is though by Burnham I sent you directions to put them in comfort of relief, only as of yourself that you shall now, as it were, in her name, if you see cause sufficient, assure some of the aptest instruments that you shall make choice of for that purpose, that her Majesty, rather than that they should perish, will be content to take them under her protection."
Out pops the same old text: 'My son, hear the words of the holy Apostle, Saint Paul " He that doubteth is damned!" He was old enough to be my father, but I couldn't help slapping the other half of the verse at him, and saying that we'd most luckily escape because there wasn't any dinner-stop for our train."
But Dr Colet saith that there are other forces at work, and he doubteth greatly whether this same cleansing can be done without some great and terrible rending and upheaving, that may even split the Church as it were asunder since judgment surely awaiteth such as will not be reformed.
And yet the translators did not hesitate to give it that meaning. In seventeen instances in the New Testament they translated it rightly as "condemn," but in Mark xvi. 16 and Rom. xiv. 23, doctrinal preconceptions prevailed, and so these two passages were rendered "He that believeth not shall be damned." "He that doubteth is damned if he eat."
In respect, then, to both sides of the revelation of the Divine character, in respect to the threatening and the promise, men need to have a clear perception, and an unwavering belief. He that doubteth in either direction is damned.
For to begin withall, no man doubteth but that Magicke tooke root first, and proceeded from Physicke, under the presence of maintaining health, curing, and preventing diseases: things plausible to the world, crept and insinuated farther into the heart of man, with a deepe conceit of some high and divine matter therein more than ordinarie, and in comparison whereof, all other Physicke was but basely accounted.
And they shall be despised as they that in illusion are born into the outermost Paradise or are held captive within the narrow walls of the womb. Whoso doubteth the omniscience of the wisdom of the Light-Bearer, but holdeth to his belief in Reward, excellent ofttimes in making the root of goodness to grow,
For, though he may not have broken a real law, he has broken an imagined one and in his own mind he deserves punishment and in his own mind he gets it. "As a man thinketh so is he," and what he is determines what he attracts. Never was a deeper, truer saying than Paul's "BLESSED is the man that doubteth not in that thing which he alloweth."
