gaue hym this counsayle Si hodie obedieris populo huic seruieris peticioni eorum censeris locutusque fueris ad eos verba leuia erant tibi serui cunctis diebus If you do after the pleasures of these people this daye and do geue place to their peticion and if you will speake to them soft and gentle words they will be your louing seruants at all times But he reiected this sage and wise counsaile that these graue menne gaue him and called to him the lustye bloudes and yonge ruffians that were noursed from youth and brought vp with him and were at hande euery daye with him for his solace and pastime and saide vnto them what counsaile will you geue to aunswere this people that haue sayde to me make lyghte this yoke and ease vs of it that your father hath laied vppon vs Then they saide accordynge to their wilfull wittes lackynge experience Thus shall you saie vnto theim Minimus digitus meus grossior est derso patris mei My least finger is greater and stronger then my fathers backe or then his whole bodye My father layed on you a heauie yoke and I will laye on more peyse vppon your yooke My father did beate you wyth scourges but I will beate you with scorpions These scorpions be scourges hauyng knottes of wire or leadde on the coardes and speciallye on the endes And they be so called after a certayne venemous Worme whiche when he stingeth turneth vp his tayle ouer his heade and so styngeth and so perelouslye that withoute there bee hadde by and by a certaine Oyle of scorpions in whiche Oyle suche scorpions haue beaten theim selues to death there is no healpe nor remedye but present death Of this compasse stroke that the Scorpion maketh when he stingeth the said scourges haue their name because they winde about the bodye and breake or teare sorest at the endes of the coardes with the saide knottes of wires or leadde His aunswere was as he should saie loke what payne of oppression or exactions or other griefes my father did put you to and I will put you to more and sorer handle you then euer did he Here was an aunswere euen like the wittes of his cocbrained counseilours A folishe rashe and noughty aunswere and so came of it The people were so galled exasperate and greued with this answer that of y e .xii. tribes of Israell .x. tribes shronke frō him and refused hym and were neuer after subiect to him nor to any of his issue So that of the .xii. parts of hys realme he lost .x. onely .ii. tribes Iuda and Beniamin sticked to him and folowed him And all thys came so to passe because he folowed yonge counsaile And you muste not thinke that these coūseilours were children or younge in age for as the Scripture saieth they were noursed and brought vppe wyth the younge kynge Roboam And when he begonne hys raigne he was one and fortye yeares of age and then of lyke age muste hys mates bee And that is the tyme when menne shoulde haue mooste preignaunt wittes to geue good counsayle And he that hath not learned some experience or practice and trade of the world by that age will neuer be wise Yet it were good they had a creanser somewhat to stay thē that they runne not to eternall damnation And though it will be hard to make an olde dog to stoupe yet stoupe he must y t wil be saued And therfore ▪ s. Peter saieth here Omnes inuicē humilitatem insinuate All men stop shew humilitie one to another euery man be lowly one to another euen as that you wolde one crepe into an others bosome by lowlinesse Insinuate by which he meaneth an inward harty lowlinesse that we must vse amonge vs. If thou wilt not god will make thee to come alow for god loueth no pride but euer resisteth thē y t be proude And sheweth grace to thē that be lowly in hart saith s. Peter Iames. Iac. iiii saith the same how God hath euer resisted the proud you maie know how Lucifer the most excellent aungell for his pride was pulled downe and made the fowlest deuill in hell he said he would ascende and get vp to be equal and like the highest Nay not so saith god but thou shalt be cast downe to the bottom of the lake or dungeon of hell Eue our first mother she wold haue ben a Goddesse like to god in knowlege but God stopped her of her enterprise cast her into such blinde darknes ignorance as we al be in by occasion geuen by her And then what humilitie and lowlines hath done yea and in thē which at other times were very proude out of Gods fauour appereth by Pharao the kinge of Egipt which after the great stroke of vengeance horrible plage of hail stones with whirle windes thunder and lightenynge suche as was neuer sene sithe Egipte was firste made The said kinge begonne to take remorse for his obstinacye and begonne to relente and saide vnto Moyses and Aaron Peccaui etiam nunc dominus iustus est ego populus meus impii orate Dominum c. I haue offended nowe agayne oure Lorde is iuste and righteous I and my people be nought and wycked praye you to your lorde that these Thunders and Haylestormes maye cease that I maye dimisse you and let you go so that you tarye not here anye lenger Exod. ix Like wise when that wicked kyng Achab hearde the terrible comminations of God for the deathe of Naboth for other his and his wiues noughty liuinge Scidit vestimenta sua operuit silicio carnem suam ieiunauitque dormiuit in sacco ambulauit demisso capite factus est autem sermo domini ad Heliam Thesbitem dicens Nonne vidisti humiliatum Achab coram me quia igitur humiliatus est mei causa non inducam malum in diebus eius He toore hys cloothes and couered his bodye wyth cloothe of Heere And he fasted and laye and slepte in sackeclothe and wente loutynge and holdynge downe the heade And then the worde of our Lorde God came to Helie saiynge Doest thou not see howe Achab the kinge is become lowlye afore me Therefore because he is humiliate for because of mee I wyll not brynge in thys mischiefe of punishemente in his tyme. And Nabuchodonosor king of the Caldeis after his great pride that he had cōceiued by his great and prosperous successe and spede that he had in his great conquestes and in his great glorye and pride that he had of his noble large citie which he had amplified exceadingly four square so that euery side of the square as it is writtē of it was xvi mile long when he said Nonne hec est Babilon ciuitas magna quam edisicaui in domū regni in robore fortitudinis mee in gloria decoris mei cūque sermo adhuc esset in ore regis vox de celo ruit Tibi
beleue vpon hym And beside that offendeth in wordes againste Christe and againste his blessed Sacramentes after the maner aforesayde our Sauiour Christe is Lapis offensionis petra scandali As sainte Peter sayeth here he is a stumblyng Stone such a one as men take harme of and be agreued withall not for occasion geuen of hym but by the pryde of mens hartes and sturdinesse or hardnes in not beleuynge The Iewes were offended and thought amisse of Christe because they sawe him in the infirmitie of his flesh They sawe him eat and drinke slepe and laboure as other men did They knewe his bryngynge vp in youthe and where he was nursed and who was his mother who were his kinsfolkes This made a great meyny of them to shake him of and in no wise to beleue vppon him and by that this stone fell vpō them al to crasshed thē to naught Quia super quem ceciderit lapis iste conteret enim Math. xxi On whom so euer this stone falleth it wyl braye hym and crashe hym And in that place Christe sayeth that some men falleth on this stone and breaketh or hurteth theim selues on it And on others this Stone falleth and brayeth theim or crassheth them as corne or other grayne is brayed betwixt two mill stones or in a querne They that conseruynge and kepynge their fayeth yet falleth sometymes to synne They fall vpon the stone and taketh harme and be hurt by their fall As when a christen man or woman not erring in the articles of our fayth yet by infirmitie of the flesshe or by temptation of the deuill falleth to synne they fall on Christe this liuynge Stone and hurteth theim selues right sore bringynge them selues in daunger of death and damnation euerlastyng and makyng them selues more vnable to resist synne an other tyme for the oftener thou sinnest the more redy thou shalt be to sinne againe and the more vnable to resist temptation but when a man or woman falleth to infidelitie or to heresie then fare well For this stone falleth vpon them and breaketh theim to duste and to asshen euerlastynge Qui non credit iam iudicatus est He that beleueth not is iudged already The sentence is geuen and past in the mynde and foreknowledge of the iudge our Sauioure Christ. Because that saint Peter saith here that Christ was Lapis offensiōis Petra scandali The stone that men shoulde take hurte by and that by him men shoulde take occasion to fall euen as the prophetes hadde saide of him afore And as the Gospels reherseth of hym likewyse I thinke it necessarye to demore and tarye in the declaration of that maner of speakynge of the Scriptures and what is meaned by the same Luke ii It is written that when Christes foster father and Mary his mother presented him in the temple as the lawe was The holye and well disposed man Symeon toke hym in hys armes with great ioye because he knew it was he that shold be the consolation and comforte of Israell And he knewe the tyme was then come or very neare hande when Christe shoulde come He knewe it also by reuelation of the holye Gooste that then moued hym to goe to the Temple as it is there sayde Et venit in spiritu in templum Where after great ioye of that he hadde seene he then desiered to be let go in peace to dye And among other thinges he saide this plainely to Marye the blessed Mayde and mother of Christe as a cordiall or rather a corosiue Ecce positus est hic in ruinam in resurrectionem multorum in Israel insignum cui contradiceretur Et tuam ipsius animam pertransibit gladius Loe sayeth he Thys childe is set to make men fall and to make many men to ryse among the people of Israel And he is set as a signe or a mark that folke wil coūtersay speke against And as for your part said he to Marie his mother the sworde of sorowe shall pearce your harte which yet shall redound and turne to the comfort of manye others Here you see that this blessed man sayde that Christe shoulde be the ruyne of many a one and suche a one as should be countersaid and spoken against of manie others And. Mat. xi When sainte Iohn Baptist sente two of his disciples to Christe to aske him a question for their learnynge whether it was he that they loked for that aboute that time they knew shoulde come to saue mankinde or whether they should loke for another Because they shoulde not saye as the Iewes were euer ready and wonte to saye Tu de te ipso testimonium dicis testimonium tuum non est verū Thou bearest witnesse of thy selfe thy witnesse is not true Christe referred them to his workes that by them he might allure them to beleue vpon him knowynge that the blinde were made to see The lame were made to goe The leprouse be made cleane the deafe to heare ▪ The deade were raysed to lyfe againe and that the poore were taughte the Gospell and good tydynges of lyfe euerlastynge And at laste he saied vnto theim Beatus est qui non fuerit scandalizatus in me Blessed is hee that by me taketh none occasion to fall or to offende In whiche wordes Christe touched the messengers and manye others by them They sawe hym a mortall man as other were they could scarce beleue any Godhed in him yet seinge that Christ knewe their wan and fainte beleue and the secretes of their hartes this made them to haue more affiance beleue vpō him for it is aboue y e knowlege of a pure mā to knowe y e secretes of an other mans minde They knewe he spoke by thē he knew they wer offended by y t thei saw in him And not onely these messengers of sainte Iohn but also manie a thousand others be offended by Christe and by Christes woordes euerye daye Because men see not the bloud runne about the Priestes fingers in the masse at the fractions of the Sacrament they be so harde harted and so dul in beleue that thei wil not beleue that Christ saide true when he saide this is my bodye or my fleshe and bloude in the sacrament of the aultare because thei perceiue not by it as they do bi other fleshe and bloud in the Shambles not beleuing that Christe by his Godlye power causeth and maketh his owne fleshe and bloud there secretelye vnder the fourme of breade and wyne for to augment and encreace the merite of our fayeth which shold be smal or none if we saw that with our bodelye eyes that wee see by the fayethfull eyes of our christen hartes They that be addict and wedded to their carnall senses their fy●e wits be offended and agreued to here that they muste beleue that thinge that they see not And euen so they iudge by sacramentall confession of sinnes thinkynge men no more bounde nowe to be confessed nother anye otherwyse then to God because that
