A sermon of the sacrameÌ„t of the aulter made by a famouse doctoure called Fryderyke Nausea in Almayne and lately out of latyn translate into englysh by IohnÌ„ More IohnÌ„ More to the chrysten reader IT happened me but late good chrysten reader to receyue and reade in a booke of a vertuouse connynge man called Fryderyk Nausea a booke of sermones surely meruelouse mete for the season For as lenton is a tyme wherof our sauyour Chryste hym selfe sheweth vs then sample that ought esspecyally to be spent in fastynge dyuyne seruyce and sermones so shall not I thynke a man lyghtly fynde many sermons made of late more frutefull and godly thaÌ„ I fynde many of hys in that one booke Dyuers wherof after I had onys perused redde and that they so specyally well lyked me that I determyned vtterly wyth my selfe to translate into oure tongue some one for mo the shortnesse of tyme wolde not suffer before thys instaÌ„t feast of Easter so nere commynge vppon before the booke came to my hand but when I had so determyned then fared I wyth all those as doth some yonge lewde scatterloue that went a woynge whyche hauynge the choyse of dyuerse so indifferently and therwith so well lyked theÌ„ euerychone that wottynge not whyche to chose fayn wold wedde them all and is sory that he maye wedde but one So I though bothe I lyked the tother no lesse then thys and as fayne wolde haue translated them all as thys one yet syns I coulde not do any mo in the tyme vppon consyderacyon that thys sermon most agreed wyth thys blessed feast of Easter at hande as beynge grounded vppon these wordes Hoc facite in mei commemorationem I left the rest and choyse me thys to â—orne â–ª whyche yet surely I wolde myche rather haue wysshed to haue be traÌ„slaâ—ed by some other that better coulde haue handeled it For who had ben able as wel to haue sette it forth in oure toÌ„gue as lyuely as Nausea hath done it in y e laten sholde haue done a thyng very worthy prayse But for as myche as that perfeccyoÌ„ in lernynge and eloquence neyther is in me no skant can in so yonge a man be lokyd for I muste huÌ„bly requyre you all good chrysten readers to accepte my good wyll and take thys worke in good worth Hoc facite in mei commemorationem Do ye this in the remembraunce of me AS ofte as I speke vnto you of the worde of god my well beloued bretherne in the meane whyle coÌ„syder the state of our tyme and condycyon of men so often I sorowefully sygh am sycke bycause I perceyue which I am ryght sory to se that these wordes of saynte Paule no lesse trewly then sorowfully may be veryfyed in vs we be they whome thendes of the worlde is come to In whose miserable tyme all those thynges now happe hepyd on in a nothers necke whyche our lorde Iesu Cryst the very trewth both ernestly and truely shewed shold come in thende of the world For as to leue spekyng at this tyme of the horryble warres batayls that be at these dayes thorough out chrystendome ye and amonges them to whiche as beyng oure chyefe heddes and rulers vnder Cryste here on erth oughte to lyue moste in reste and peace and also of the innumerable coÌ„tagyons and dedely dyseases that reygne and specyally of the great pestilence in Germany besydes the sharpe and cruell famine with such other lyke myschyefes who seeth not euydently vnderstaÌ„des not that this is euyn the last ende of the worlde in whych as criste hym selfe prophecyed Iniquyte hath begonne to habound and many mennes charyte waxe colde so that were yt not for y e electes there shold be no fleshe safe for as myche as yf yt were possyble the chosen people selfe y â— lyue now at this daye myght seme to be seduced from the trewe catholyque fayth of Chryste syns now I say I se not allonely nacyon agaynst nacyon realme agaynste realme or house agaynste house but rue the fathers agaynst theyr chylderne the chylderne agaynste theyre fathers a one brother wyth great cruelty to arise agaynst the other which thynge surely ye were yt but for this cause greueth me very myche for that I perceyue those clene departed from charyte stryuynge wythin theym selfes persecutynge one a nother as mortall enymyes shamefully ragynge eche agaynst other euen as agaynst theyr vttermost dedely aduer saryes whyche be not onely bretherne as beynge created of on eternall father but also brethern thorough grace and fayth and named the children of god whome as saynte Paule sayth syns they be of one housholde fayth oughte specially to be freÌ„des and one of them gladde to do for a nother who me I say Criste our lorde gentyll redemer in so farforth hath exhorted vnto a mutuall charyte shewing it as a thynge so necessary that wythout that they can not be knowen for his dyscyples or by any other meanes then by that mutual charite decerned from infydeles that he sayth amongest other thynges I geue you a newe commauÌ„dement that you loue on a nother as I haue loued you so loue you betwen your selfs By this shall all men knowe you be my dyscyples yf you haue loue amongest you This is my precepte to loue eche other as I haue loued you And agayn This I coÌ„maunde you to loue to gether as my father hath loued me so haue I loued you Abyde you in my loue But howe loued Chryst vs Surely so as hym selfe sayth that he loste hys lyfe for oure sake then whyche kynde of loue no man can haue a greater whyche also thapostles recyteth almoste in euery place Of whyche trewly ineffable loue towarde vs his owne he hath left behynde hym an inspekable token testymonyall and perpetual memoryal in that he gaue him selfe to be eaten of vs made therby both the feaste and the geste bothe twayne As the prophete Dauid sayde Our most mercyfull pytyful lord hath made a remeÌ„brauÌ„ce of his meruayles and hath geuen meate to theym that dreded hym For why our lord Iesu Cryst instytutyng this hygh excellent wonderfull holy sacrament gaue fode to those that dreded hym and for pytye he had on vs lefte that sacrament vnto vs as a memoryall remembrauÌ„ce not onely of y e offering of hym self for our sake vpon the crosse also gaue him self as meate to all suche as worsshyppe hym drede hym loue him honoured him as saint Paule sayth Do you this as ofte as you drynke yt in the remembraunce of me for as oft as you shall eate thys brede and drynke of thys cuppe you shall shewe the dethe of our lorde tyll he come but also left this blessed sacrament vnto vs for a memoryall and remembrauÌ„ce of his inspekable loue toward vs by which loue he was broughte for our sakes to the most bitter crosse shamfull deth in whych he myght be wyth vs
