entertayned of strangers then of theyr owne Countryemen But there may be two causes of this Prouerbe for this is a cōmon and generall faulte that those whom wée sée cryinge in the cradell and playing the Children are despysed of vs all theyr lyfe tyme after as thoughe there followed no profite or amendment after childhoode The other faulte is emulation or enuye the which wée practise agaynst those whom wée know Notwithstanding it is probable that the Prouerbe roose of this that Prophetes were so lyttle regarded in their owne countrey For good and godly men when they sée so great ingratitude shewed agaynste God so great contempte of his word contumacye they maye make this complaint worthelye and saye that they neuer sawe the Prophets of God lesse honored in no place then in their owne countreye Therefore Christ doth not withoute cause vpbrayde the Galilaeans who whē they should haue ben the first that should haue receyued the grace offered vnto them they were the most despysers of the same 58. And he did not many myracles there because of their vnbeleefe C. Marke speaketh with a greater Emphasis sayinge And hée could there shewe no myracle but layed his hands vpon a few sicke folke healed them maruayled because of theyr vnbeléefe Notwithstāding in effect they very wel agrée that the way was shut agaynste Christ by the wickednes of his Cittizens that hée wrought not many myracles there Hée gaue thē nowe some taste but they willinglye plucke backe and refuse to haue anye more of the same Therefore Austen verye aptelye compareth faythe to certayne Vesselles with open mouthe but hee sayth infidelitye is like to a couer wythe the whyche the Vessell is couered that it cannot receyue the lyquor or moysture powred in by the spyrite of god And trulye it is so in déede For the Lorde seinge that hys power is not receyued of vs dooth at the lengthe take away the same and yet notwithstādinge afterward wée complain that we want his helpe which our incredulity and hardnes of hart hath repelled and driuen away Marke in denying that Christ coulde do anye myracle amplifyeth their faulte by the which his goodnes was let For certainly the vnbeleuers by their cōtumacy and hardnes of hart do restraine so much as in them lyeth the hand of God not that there is any abillitye wanting in God but because they will not permit his power to be fulfilled and executed M. The vertue and power of Christe trulye was prepared to heale them but by the Ingratitude and infidelity of mortall mē it was let and hyndered after a certayne maner by the vnworthynes of these infydels it came to passe that the plentifull and flowing ryuers of the goodnes of God did not power out their streames C. Notwithstanding we must note what Marke addeth that certayne weake personnes were neuerthelesse healed For hereby wée gather that the goodnes of Christ dyd stryue as it were with theyr mallyce and did ouerflow the same And we haue daylye experience of the like in god For althoughe hée do iustly and necessarilye restrayne kéepe backe his power because it hath not frée accesse vnto vs yet notwithstanding wée sée that hée making away to himselfe wher no way is letteth not to do good vnto vs And herein his mercy ouerfloweth the stop of our wickednes and hath his force mangre our heads in spyte of the Deuill Bu. When the Lord therefore hath promised helpe euery where to the fayfull hée wyll leaue the vnbeleuinge Nazarites to their error and will multiplye his myracles and graces amonge his seruauntes The xiiii Chapter AT that tyme Herode the Tetrarcha hearde of the fame of Iesu M. In this Chapter the crueltye of Herode the death of Iohn the Baptiste the myraculous féedinge of fiue thousande men the wonderfull calminge of the tempest of the Sea and the appearinge of Chryst walking on the sea is declared And last of all is shewed howe hée came to Genesareth and healed all the sicke folkes that were brought vnto him Herode Bu. This Herode was the sonne of that Herode of the great Antipater syrnamed of some Ascalon which flewe the infantes of Bethlehē being a most pernicious Rauen hatched of so wicked an egge Some cal this Herode Antipas for his surname Hée is the very same which arayed our sauioure with a white vesture and deryded his deuine wisedome makinge an open iest and laughinge stocke of him Of this man Iosephus maketh mencion in his 18. Booke of the Antiquities of the Iewes The Tetrarcha Bu. Tetrarchia and Tetrarcha are words vsurped of the Romain writers but taken from the Gréekes Tetrarchae were Princes hauinge the fourth part or some portion of the kingedome Such are they which wée call Deputies or Presidentes The Romaynes deuidinge theyr kingdomes to suppresse rebellion lymitted the same to dyuers Presidents or gouernours whiche they called Tetrarchae or Toporchae and the regions themselues Toporchas or Tetrarchas The whiche thinge wée maye reade in Plynie This Herode was Tetrarcha of Gallilae and no king Hearde the fame of Iesu A That is al thinges that were done by Iesu as sayth the Euangeliste Luke For Marcke saithe that his name was sprede abrode C. The which thing the Euangelistes do declare to the ende we may knowe that the name of Christe was in many places famouse whereby the Iewes might be voyde of excuse and coulde not pleade ignoraunce for otherwise this doubt might crepe into the hartes of many men and cause them to saye thus Howe chaunced it that the Iewes were so secure and carelesse Christe being in the earth was his diuinite so shut vp in a corner that he reuealed the same to none This doubte I say the Euangelistes take awaye and testifie that hys name was famouse and spread abroade yea in suche publique sorte that it entered euen into Herodes courte 2 And saide vnto his seruantes this is Iohn the Baptist He is risen from the dead and therefore are miracles done by hym And sayde to his seruauntes E The Greeke woorde for seruantes is so generall that it comprehendeth the whole housholde This is Iohn C. By the wordes of Luke it may be gathered that this offered not it selfe or came into the mind of Herode willyngly but rather that he had a suspicion by the cōmon rumour of the people For thus Luke writeth And Herode the Tetrarche hearde of all that was done by him and doubted because it was saide of some that Iohn was rysen agayne from deathe Neyther nede we to doubte but that the hate of the tyrant and the detestation of the cruell and wicked acte gaue occasion to talke and rumoure as often tymes it commeth to passe For this superstitiō remained in the mindes of many men that the deadde vnder an other person came to lyfe agayne Nowe they take that which is next namely that Herode in kyllinge so cruelly the holy man missed of his purpose because

accustomed maner of lyfe but because the same Euangelist shewed that he was a man that came out of the mountaines or deserte he sheweth also his apparell and maner of foode which was agreable to his habitation and abydynge And also he reherseth this not onely that we myghte vnderstande that his rusticall kinde of diet did suffyse and content hym in so muche that he neuer hungred after delycate deyntie dysshes but was in his vncomly and contemptible attyre in great price and estimation among sumptuouse and neate persons But to the ende superstition mighte appointe parfecte righteousenes in eternal shewes the common and ignorant sorte of people thought such continencie to be a greate parte of holynesse To this errour agreed the foolyshe and superstityouse vice of Monkery of Hermites of barefooted fryers whiche were the deuills lackies and suche kinde of hypocrisie to seeme to be in the face of the world those which in deede they were not But there is no doubt that the Euangelyste describeth him here to be a mountayne manne seperated from all vrbanitie and ciuill fashion and order and not onelye contente with suche foode as he coulde easely get but onely eating such meate as was in the place where he had his abode as wilde hony of the whiche there was greate aboundaunce and locustes of the whiche it was a most plentiful region or elles because it was profitable for a contemptible and vnsemely man to come amonge the multitude of people that onely in hym the maiestie of God might shyne whiche notwithstandinge did rauishe their senses with the admiration of the man B. This therefore he did that he might be the more commended of the people and that he might adde the wayte of seueritie to his preachinge of the truethe And a girdell of skinne aboute M. The same is redde of Elias the Thesbite It is apparaunte that in olde tyme they vsed to weare very preciouse Gyrdelles and adorned with great cost very sumptuously Agaynste the whiche the Prophete inuaieth saying In steede of your swete smell you shall haue stinke and in steade of your gyrdelles you shal weare loose bandes His meate also vvas locustes etc. He vsed suche meate as they do that lyue in the wyldernesse As the holy fathers haue eschewed luxury and excesse euen so they coulde not abide the arrogancie and vaine ostentation of holinesse of suche a one as would be singuler We do reade in the boke of Samuell that in the woodde there was greate plenty of hony We do reade also that the locustes whiche he dyd eate were nombred among the beasts that were cleane Furthermore Plinie dothe wryte that this meate was in greate pryce and very acceptable to the Parthians The same Plinie also doth write that in som place there are founde Locustes that are three foote longe Therefore in this place the sobrietie and temperaunce of meate and drinke is commended vnto vs For to al men lyuinge it is honest profitable plesante tractable and a frende to Nature On the other syde luxury or ryot is fylthy hurtfull vnsauery vntractable and an ennemy to Nature 5 Then wente out to him all Hierusalem and all Iewry and the whole region that lyeth rounde about Iordan Then vvent out to hym C. The Euangeliste dothe heere shewe that there was a greate multitude of people gathered together to here Iohn wherby we gather howe great his fame was M. For many came vnto hym by heapes as it were because from the seconde temple vntyll nowe they had no prophetes for Chryst saith What went ye out in the wyldernesse to see a Prophete Moreouer because he dothe not symplelye preache repentaunce and the obseruation of the lawe accordynge to the lawe of the hye priestes and commaundeth to prepare the waye of the Lorde and saide that the kingdome of God was at hande And also because he lyued a straite and austere lyfe But as it is wonte and commonly seene that in newe thinges men are very feruent and gredy euen so in Iohns time the people being feruent came apase to hym but at the lengthe this feruent heate being colde fewe there were whiche by Iohn beynge called to trewe repentance that came vnto Chryst For neither the austere strayte lyfe of Iohn nor the gentlenes of Christe coulde preuaile any thyng at al with this people as appereth by the woordes of oure sauiour Iohn came neyther eatynge nor drynkinge and they sayd beholde he hath a deuyll the sonne of man he came eating drinking and they saide behold a glutton etc. So that neyther the prophetes that were before Chryst nor yet Christe him selfe coulde please and wynne this people 6 And they were baptyzed of hym in Iordane confessyng their synnes And they vvere baptized of him in Iordan M. The other Euangelistes saye that Iohn preached the baptisme of repentāce in the remission of sinnes that is he called euery one to repentance and he signed them also that professed repentaunce with the signe of baptisme with the promise of remission of synnes if they beleued in hym in whom he preached and adioined them selues in good faith to the kingedome of heauen as we may reade in the actes of the Apostels Confessinge theyr synnes C. The trewe testimony and signe of repentaunce was the confession of their synnes For euen as the lord in his sacramentes doth bind hym selfe as it were vnto vs by his owne hande writynge so likewise it is mete that wee in all poyntes become bounde vnto hym Baptisme witnesseth vnto vs that our synnes are forgeuen and biddeth and commaundeth vs to repent Therefore that men maye duelye offer them selues to repentance confessing of theyr syns is required otherwise what were that but a vaine iest whiche he dyd But let vs heere note that the wordes whiche are spoken are of suche as were at the yeres of discretion whom we know ought not to be admitted rashly without consideratiō into the church what soo euer they be neyther are to be vnited or knitt to the body of Christe by baptisme vnlesse dewe examination be first had Whereby euery man may see how fonde the Papistes are which wrest this place to proue their auriculer confession For neyther were there any sacryficers presente vnto whom they mighte secretelye tell their synnes neyther is there made mention of all synnes Neyther did Iohn geue his disciples any ordinary right or custome of confessinge But let vs graunte to the Papistes that which they require that confessiō is onely proper to those that are of age yet after baptisme it hath no place Trewely contrary to the exāple of Iohn they prescribe a lawe of confessynge from Baptisme The like place of publique cōfession we haue in the actes wher it is thus written And many that were faythfull came confessing declaring theyr dedes 7. But when he sawe many of the Phariseis and Saduseys come to his baptisme he sayde vnto them O generation of vipers who
by the wōderfull power of God sodaynely he rose againe from the dead to be a more sharp ennemy and reuenger of his wickednes Bu. And by the waye here we may note that tyrauntes are not free from feare tremblinge and rebuke although by all meanes they seeke to be delyuered from the same by fyer and sworde This wycked tyrante Herode had slayne Iohn the Baptist least any man shoulde reproue his incestiouse mariage but Iohn being slaine the lorde him selfe commeth with his twelue Apostels who with one consent teache the puritie of life to be obserued and condemne the vncleanes of the same Therfore truely saith the Apostel that the woord of God can not be bound The mynisters of the worde maye be taken scourged and kylled but the worde and the mynistery of the same is euerlastinge and inuincible for so sone as one by deathe or imprisonmente is put to sylence an other by and by arysethe in his place Wherefore tyrauntes shall neuer be delyuered from feare vntyll they forsake theyr tyranny and obey the woorde of God C. Marke and Luke teach that men spake diuersly of Chryste namelye that some thought him to be Elias some one of the prophetes or a Prophete For because the lord had promised by the prophete Malachy that Helias should come whiche should congregate and gather together the dispersed churche they wrested this prophesie amisse to his persone when as it was a symple comparison in this sence as followeth Leaste the comminge of the Messias should be obscure and least the people shoulde not see perceiue and vnderstand and their gracious redemption there shall suche a one go before them as was in tyme paste whiche shall restore al those thinges that are decayed and the trewe worshyppe of God which was quite ouerthrowne He shall go before them therfore with a singuler power of the spirite to set forth vnto thē that great and excellent day The Iewes accordyng to their grosse dulnes in interpreting restrain this to Helias the Thesbite as though he shoulde come againe to take vpon him the office of a prophete Notwithstandinge other some coniectured that he was eyther som one of the old Prophetes whiche was rysen or els that he was some great man whiche was as excellent and of as great power as they were But it is meruayle that none of them beinge drawne into so many sondry opinions coulde remēber that which was trewe specially when as the tyme and the consideration of the same mighte haue directed them vnto Christ God had promised vnto them a redemer whiche shoulde helpe the myserable and shyne vnto such as were in darknes and in the shaddowe of deathe The extreme necessitie in the which they were thrown did then greately require the helpe of God. A redemer is come both celebrated by the office and proclamation of Iohn and also by the testimonye that he bare of his office they are cōstrained to acknowledge some what that is deuine and heauenlye in him but beinge fallen notwithstandyng to their own immaginations they transpose chaunge him to other mens persons And thus truely by most wicked ingratitude the worlde oftentymes extinguisheth the graces of God offered vnto them As towchinge Herode hym selfe he toke not this opinion willyngly of the rysynge of Iohn agayne as wee towched a lyttel before but as euyl and gylty consciences are alwaies wauering and afearde he easely conceyued that which he feared And God doth oftentimes vexe and stir vppe the wycked by these blynde terrors by the whiche they are greately disquieted And therefore are myracles done by C. A man may much meruaile what reson led them thus to say for Iohn all the tyme of his preachinge shewed no myracle or signe A. as witnessed the multytude C. They seme therefore to wante theyr colloure or clocke because they seinge hym to be famouse by doing of myracles cōiecture him to be Iohn but they thought that myracles were done nowe by hym at the fyrst to proue his resurrection and to testify that he being the holy Prophete of God was wickedlye put to death of Herode that nowe he came agayne as a holy and vndefiled man to the ende no man myghte hereafter presume to hurte or vyolate his personage B. We se therfore hereby how men are wrapped and tangled in childishe errors when godlinesse falleth and decayeth as in that age it came to passe And the like hath often tymes synce hapened and we our selues in these dayes with to muche griefe haue experience of the same This is the blyndenes and madnesse with the which God doth strike the wicked when they hoyse vp the sayle to all wyckednes and byd God farewel of the which Moyses in the eighte and twentye chapter of Exodus speaketh 3 For Herode had taken Iohn and boūd him put him in pryson because of Herodias his brother Phillips wyfe B. The Greke texte vseth the preterperfecte tence hath taken hath bound hath put for the preterpluperfecte tence accordinge to the maner of the Hebrewes M. Because the Euangeliste had made mention of Iohn by occasion he ioyneth to the history of his deathe and that by the waye For it is not a proper woorke of the Euangeliste to describe the deathe of any besyde the actes dedes of Christe Because of Herodias B. This semeth to be a name diminutiue taken of Herode Hys brother Phillips vvyfe C. The Euangelistes affirme that Iohn was taken because he openly condempned the incestiouse matrimony of Herode with Herodias which was his brother Philips wife 4 For Iohn saide vnto hym It is not laufull for thee to haue her C. Iosephus alleageth an other cause why he was put in prisō namely because by his doctrine to the whiche the people wonderfully resorted be broughte hym selfe in suspition with Herode of the mouinge of some newe attempt or vnwonted matter But it myghte be that the wicked tyrant toke this as a cloake to couer his cruell murtherynge of Iohn Or it might be that this wicked rumor was spredde abroade of hym for vniust vyolence and crueltie is neuer withoute dyuerse accusatiōs But the Euangelistes shew the very cause in dede namely that Herode was an ennemy to the holy man because he was sharpely reprehended of hym For Iosephus is deceyued whiche thoughte that Herodias was not taken from Phillip the brother of Herode but from Herode the kynge of Chalcis his fathers brother For at what tyme the Euangelistes wryt the remembraunce of this wicked dede was not onely new but also common in the eies of all men And wheras Iosephus in an other place saythe that Phillip was of a soft wyt in consideratiō and hope wherof there is no doubt but that Herode was the more boulde to accomplishe his wyll to abuse the modestie of Phillip not fearing any ponishment Here is also an other probable cōiecture that Herodias was rather geuen in matrimony to Phillip her fathers brother than
to her greate vncle the brother of her grandfather whiche for age was euen croked But Herode Antipas here mentioned and Phillippe were not brethren by the mother side but Herode was the sonne of Marthaca the thyrd wyfe of great Herode and Phillip was borne of Cleopatra Nowe to retourne to our Euangelistes they say that Iohn was cast into pryson because hee reprehended the wicked acte of Herode more freely then the madnes and crueltie of the tyrante wolde beare Nowe the horriblenes of the deede was odious and excecrable enough of it selfe because he did not onely foster and kepe in his house an other mannes wife beinge forsed frō her laufull husbande but also because this iniury was done contumelyousely against his owne brother But for so muche as the reprehension of Iohn was soo sharpe free Herode feared not in vaine leaste sedition shoulde spring and that sodainly His filthy lust suffered him not to amēde his haynous fault detestable cryme but the Prophete of God being bounde cast in pryson he promyseth vnto hym selfe quiet rest and libertie By ignoraunce of this historie it came to passe that many entered into vaine disputacion whether it were laufull for any man to marrye a wife whiche had bene fyrst maried to his brother For although the honest shame of nature dothe lothe and abhorre suche wedlocke yet notwithstandinge Ihon doth more condemne the forcinge and raueshing of a woman thē incest because that Herode by force and deceyte spoyled his brother Phillip of his laufull wyfe And otherwise it had ben lesse lawefull for hym to marry his sonnes daughter then to take his brothers wife being ded out of her widdowhed Well Iohn with cōstant bouldnes preacheth against this beastly and cruel deede to se if he by any meanes might be brought to repētance Whereby we learne of what constante and inflexible courage the preachers and seruantes of God ought to be when that they haue to do with prynces for in euery court almost raigneth Hypocrisie and seruile flattery which for aduauntage is a bondslaue so feeding the eares of princes with pleasaunt and delectable words that they wil in no wise receiue the sharp sower reprehētions of their wickednes But because so wiccked a dede ought not to be cloked dissembled hydden or conceled of the Prophete of God Iohn commeth forth euen in the middest although aboute an vnthanckefull imbassage and worke and least hee shoulde declyne or swarue from his office he feareth not to incurre the displeasure of a tyrante M. In this reprehension therefore of Herode we haue an example what lybertie to vse in reprehendinge and open reprouing of wicked persons namely such as hath these twoo thinges Fyrste that they be tolde that they do the thing which ought not to be done whiche is againste the lorde and his wyll The other is that they be so reproued that they be dryuen to shame the whiche is brought to passe when the offence and faulte is openlye with plaine woordes cast in their teethe 5 And when he would haue put him to death he feared the people because they counted hym as a Prophete C. There semeth in the wordes of Matthew and Marcke to be no small discrepance or disagrement for Mathew sayth that Herode was desirouse of this cruell and wicked murther but was stayed by feare of the people but Marke onely laieth this crueltie to the charge of Herodias but the reconciliation is easye to be made namely that Herode in the beginninge excepte that because greater necessitie constrained hym thereto wolde not haue killed the holy man because he feared hym and trewely conscience dyd somwhat pricke and stay hym from dealyng so cruelly with the prophete of god but Herodias dayly egginge and prouokinge him forwarde at the length droue the feare of god wholly out of his minde But when he was ledde and subdued by that furiouse madnes he wholly desired and sought by all meanes to haue the holy man put to death and extinguysshed notwithstanding he was nowe staied by a newe let that is to say hee feared the people And heare the woords of Marke are to be noted for saythe hee Herodias laide waite for him namely because that Herode of hym selfe was not inclined or prone to kyll Iohn and therefore Herodias eyther by subtil meanes went about to circumuēt him or els priuily to worke the deathe of the holy man. But it is more probable and likely that by subtiltie and deceyte she went about to subdue and wynne the mynde of her husebande but in vaine so longe as the conscience of Herode was pricked not to work the ende or destruction of the saint of god Furthermore there succeded an other feare least any tumulte should aryse amonge the people because of hys deathe For all the multitude accounted Iohn a Prophet But Marke onely toucheth the cause why Herode was stayed from fulfillinge the minde of the strompet and harlot his vsurped wife for Herodias sought so sone as Iohn was put in pryson to haue his deathe and that pryuylie But truely Herode reuerenced the holy man and wolde willingely haue obeied his counsell and admonition For the feare whiche is here mentioned was not conceyued of a contrary opinion as commonly we feare those whiche are in aucthoritie although we counte theym vnworthy of honoure but this feare was a voluntary obseruaunce or reuerence because that Herode beinge perswaded that Iohn was a holy man and a faithful mynister of God durst not for this cause despise him And this is worthy to be noted for although Iohn knewe by experience that it was profytable for hym many wayes to be of price and estimation with the Tetrarche yet notwithstanding he was not afearde to alyenate his mind or to displease hym when as otherwyse he coulde not obteyne his fauoure then by winkynge at a horryble and knowne fact He rather seketh to make his friend a foe then by flattering silence to meintaine and nussell a wicked person in his vngodlynes Iohn therfore by his example hath prescribed a certayne rule to all godly teachers that theye dyssemble not the wickednes of princes thereby to win their fauour and estimation It is a very harde and daungerouse thing truely for the seruantes of the lord to excecute their office because they can not do it without reprouinge and sharpe reprehension in excecutinge the whiche we maye se the minde of Iohn stoute and constant whiche wold not dissemble neyther for feare of present death nor for hope of rewarde and fauour A great exaumple truely I say to all mynisters that they decline or swerue not from theyr office A verye harde matter truely it is but let theym not take that office vppon theim vnlesse they determine to shew forth that which perteyneth to theyr function and calling But in Herode as in a glasse the spirite of God setteth forthe vnto vs that those which do not syncerely worship God but are somewhat
prepared to obeye his wyl are oftentimes geuen ouer to al kynd of wickednes There is no cause therefore whye they shoulde please theym selues whiche obey manye holsome and godlye admonitions vntyll suche tyme as they haue lerned to addict geue them selues wholly vnto God. M. Furthermore by this place it appereth howe myserable foolishe the condition state of the wycked is they feare where no feare is and feare not that which ought to be feared Herode feared as God wolde haue it the multitude whiche had Iohn in great veneration for he feared leaste he shoulde styrre them vp against him if he should decree to execute any crueltie vpō Iohn And this certainely is spoken to the consolation of al those that are mynisters of the woorde For we do se that God careth for those that are his seruantes and suffereth not tyrantes at their pleasure to take away their liues Furthermore we see that kynges and tyrantes whom all men feare stande in feare theym selues oftentimes The wicked hye priestes seniours of the people feared the multytude in so muche that they durste not do or speake any thinge agaynste Iohn the Baptist because the people helde Iohn as a prophete of god A. Therefore Herode feared the multitude but hee carelesly contempned the iudgement of God whiche for his wicked and horyble acte was euen at hand Because they counted him A. Iohn was of greate price estimation and fauoure amonge the people because he baptysed many had many dysciples and was thought of some to be the promised Messias There was noo man but counted him a Prophete sence from God and therfore they had hym in great estimation 6 But when Herodes byrthe daye was kept the daughter of Herodias daunsed before them and pleased Herode But vvhen Herodes C. Nowe the Euangelist beginneth to shew by what fraud deceyt Herodias at the length wrought the destruction of Iohn the Baptist whiche she a longe time sought to brynge to passe for occasion was offered vnto her by the solemne feast which Herod made at the solemnisation of his birth day For it can not well be that suche magnifical and sumptuouse feasting should be voide of euyll but that it should bryng with it many perniciouse snares beside luxury disdayne immoderate mirthe and other wickednesses whiche are abhomynable in the sight of God not that the lyberall making of a feast is euyll of it selfe but because mankinde is so prone to lassiuyousenesse that the raynes of moderate measure beinge loused he wyll easelye passe his boundes and excede Marke writeth thus And when a conueniente daye was come that Herode on his birth day made a supper to the lordes hyghe capitaynes and chiefe estates of all Galile That auncient custome of it selfe cannot be improude or dysalowed to cellebrate euery yere with ioye the birth daye for that day so often as it commeth admonisheth euery one of vs to be thankefull vnto the lord of whō we beyng brought into this lyfe continue in the same by his goodnes from yere to yere Therby also we are put in mynde of the euill and vnprofytable bestowing of our tyme sekinge to amende the rest whiche followethe But there is nothinge so pure and good which the woorld seketh not to corrupt defile with his vyces for the gretter parte with their filthy and leude behauiour do prophanate the daye of theyr Natiuitie which ought to be most holy For on that day they be drunke they vse filthy and lewde talk they ingurge them selues with to much meate they surfet they blaspheme the name of God to be short they vse no temperance but geue them selues to al kind of fylthy pleasure This was the cause why the holye man Iob after banketyng offered alwaies sacrifice He knew that in banketyng and feastinge there were many occasions to offende So it came to passe that Herode seking to welcome and chere his gestes suffered daughter of his wife to daunce before them She daunced not rudely as do the common sorte with leapynge but she daunced with a comely gesture with measure as they do in daunce so dothe the Greeke worde properly sounde And it pleased Herode A. Marcke addeth and all those that satt at meate with him E. Beholde the disposition of the wicked they glory reioyce in that which should make thē blushe for shame C. But the worlde can not but allowe that which is his owne For there is no man that hath anye care or respecte of honest grauytie that wyl commende or allowe daunsing specially in a mayde But the vnchaste Herodias had so framed her daughter Solomen to her manners that shee counted it no shame at all But what followed at the lengthe 7 VVherefore hee promysed with an othe that he woulde geue her what so euer she woulde aske C. The heate of the wyne dyd soo boyle in the brayne of Herode that hee forgate all grauitie and wysedome promysinge as witnesseth Marke to a dansyng puppet to geue vnto her euen the one halfe of his kingdome A shamefull and wycked example truely that the king in his drunkennes doth not onely shewe an euyll spectacle and patterne to those of his familie but also promiseth so great a rewarde Wherefore let vs learne to be sober and circumspect when we incounter with Sathan least by such snares he intangle and ouerthrowe vs. 8 And she being instructed of her mother before saide geue me here Iohn Baptistes head in a platter A. This is more plentifully described of Marcke for he saith but she going forth sawe vnto her mother what shal I aske she saide the heade of Iohn the Baptiste C. It is no meruayle yf she so muche estemed the death of Iohn Where as some coniecture that shee was inflamed with reuenge they seeme to want reason for the feare of diuorsement semed rather to tourmente vexe and disquiet her euen as often times when harlots or whoremongers are sylled with disdayne they are ashamed of theyr fylthy lust For she hoped that Herode shold be much bound vnto her if the league or bonde of adulterouse wedlock might be beaten downe by the bloud of the Prophete Therefore to the ende she might liue and raigne securely and voyde of feare euer after she woulde haue him extinguished by death whom she counted as her mortall foe Whereby also wee are taughte howe much tormoylinge care griefe troubleth an euyl conscience Iohn was kept in pryson the ambiciouse and cruel woman might haue helde her self with that contented forbiddynge all men to haue accesse vnto him notwithstandinge she is not quiet but is greued with care and feare vntill the prophete was dispatched of his life This also serueth greatly to set forthe vnto vs the myghtye force and efficacie of the woorde of God namelye that the voyce of the holy man although it were included and shutt vp in the pryson yet notwithstandynge it rente and tare the mynde of the kynges wyfe noo
betrayed him gaue thē a token sayinge whome soeuer I kysse that same is he hold him fast But he that betrayed hym A. This fayned shewe and hidden hypocrisy maketh the falt of Iudas more hainouse not because it was hidden from Christe for he is a searcher of the harte reynes but because he woulde not seme to be a traitor but a frende C. For their is no doubte but that he was stayed eyther by the shame of his wicked acte or els for the reuerence of the Lorde not openly to professe hym selfe to be one of his enemys yea wheras it is sayde in S. Marke that he charged the soldiers to lead him away warely it was done because he remembred by howe many documents the Lorde had proued at other times his diuine power Holde him faste Bu. He would haue hym taken with all spede that might be least he should escape awaye For the Lorde his enemyes being deluded mockd had escaped oftentimes out of the handes of those that soughte his death A. Leaste therefore the lyke shoulde happen now the trayter admonisheth the soldiers to holde him faste and to leade him awaye warely that is to say with diligent hede least he should escape C. But notwithstāding the madnes ef the trayter is wōderfull eyther to couer him selfe with vaine dissimulation whē he should come in the presence of the sonne of God or to set the power of men against his power E. S. Iohn addeth after this saying Iesus therefore knowinge all thinges that shoulde come vppon him wente foorthe and said Whome seke ye They answer Iesus of Nazareth Iesus saith vnto thē I am he Iudas also which betrayed hym stoode with them By the which wordes truely the Euāgelist doth more plainely expresse with howe willinge a minde Christe went vnto his death and therewith also he declareth what greate power he breathed forthe by one woorde that wee might knowe that the wycked were able to do nothinge vnto him but vppon his owne sufferance The like miracle almost we haue of the host of the kinge of Assirians whiche was strycken with blindnes at the prayer of Elizeus 49. And forthewith he came to Iesus and sayde haile master and kyssed hym And forthvvith he came to Iesus Bu. The Euāgelist Luke hath And Iudas one of the twelue wente before them pressed nye vnto Iesus to kisse him Hayle master C. There is no doubte but that Iudas fained by these wordes as though he fearing his maisters daunger had ben touched with mercy And therfore Marke hath a repetition of this worde Maister Master for although the maiesty of Christ did vrge him yet notwithstāding the deuel had so bewitched his minde that he thoughe his falsehoode to bee verye well hydden with a kisse flattering wordes therfore this salutacion or acclamatiō was a pretence of compassion And he kissed hym We muste Iudge the same of the kysse that we did of the salutation going before For although it were a common maner amonge the Iewes to entertaine their frendes with a kysse yet notwithstāding because Iudas was departed a littell before from Christ he semeth nowe as one sodenly made afrayed through feare to geue his master the last kysse or farewell And so by an outward shewe of godlines hee semeth to excell the reste when he semeth with greate gréefe and sorowe to be separated frō his master But howe lyttell he profited by his deceits it appeareth by the answere of Christe hereafter followinge Bu. Iudas therefore fayned these twoo thinges namely the cooler of frendeship and the shewe of Godlines He was an open enemy and yet neuertheles he calleth Christ his master and that with a repetition thinking thereby to deceyue the mindes of Christe and of his Disciples Euen so Ioab going about to kill Amasa kyssed hym and flattered hym in this wyse saying Arte thou in healthe my brother Let vs learne therefore by this place howe greate the force of impiety is and whether it will bringe vs at the lengthe if wee do not resiste the beginninges and originall thereof This Iudas is not afrayde for money of enuy and impiety to salute his Sauiour and to geue his master a kysse when as notwithstanding he did acknowlege hī to be his master neither kissed he hī for any loue or frendeship but onelye to geue him a dedly wounde Thus did Cayne deale with Abell who vnder the pretence of frendely repaste slewe his brother It is no merueile therefore if they at this day which seke for nothinge ells than to ouerthrowe Christe and his Gospell doe vse also faire promises othes woordes and signes He whiche knoweth not that Iudas is the father of these men being suche wycked hypocrites as he was beleueth their gloseinge and painted promises 50. And Iesus sayde vnto hym frende wherefore arte thou come Then came they and laide handes on Iesus and tooke him And Iesus saide to him Bu. Here we may beholde in Christ a most perfecte example of mekenes He did not refuse to receiue the kysse of the hipocrite Iudas but bewayling his blindenes and calling the miserable wretche to repentance stricketh his conscience with a most louing frendly and gentle saying Frende vvherefore arte thou come C. The Euangeliste Saint Luke more expresely saith Iudas doest thou betraye the Sonne of man with a kysse These wordes of S. Luke do more vehemently vrge Iudas of hipocrisy thā do the wordes of Mathew howbeit they are not spoken so much to reproch him as to put him in minde of the clemency and loue which before he had shewed towardes hym beinge nowe abused For wee maye not thinke that when Christe called Iudas frende he did it Ironicè as if he had mēt him to bee his enemye but he rather casteth his ingratitude in his téeth because of a companion and frende he is now become a trayter euen as it was foreshewed in the Scripture where it is saide It is not an open enemy that hath done me this dishonor for then I coulde haue borne it neither was it mine aduersary that did magnifye hymselfe againste me For then peraduenture I woulde haue hyd my selfe from him But it was euen thou my companion my guide min owne familiar frend c. VVherefore arte thou come Bu. Christe was not ignoraunt wherefore the traiter was come but after he had shewed a token of his loue he reprehendeth hym and prycked his conscience that he mighte vnderstande that the deceyte whiche he vsed was not hydden from hym As if he hadde sayde O Iudas thou doest dissemble thy frendeship with a kisse callest the son of man Rabbi or master thinkest that I am ignorāt wher about thou goest But I appeale to thin owne cōscience tel wherefore arte thou come To what ende vsest thou this kysse I knowe wel ynough that thou betrayest the sonne of man with this kysse Bu. I pray thée my frende ▪ wherefore commest thou to me with so wycked a minde Thou oughtest to
