He prayeth inough that knowlegeth his sickenes he prayeth vehemeÌ„tly that wepeth and hopeth The womaÌ„ diseased with the blody flixe priuely toucheth the garment of Iesu and forth with she felt the power of mercy coÌ„ming forth Like wise we rede that many other were cured by touchyÌ„g the garmeÌ„tes of Iesu. So redy his mercy is euery where at euery occasioÌ„ he succoureth wretches If thou darste nat call vpon Iesus if thou canst nat touche Iesus at lest touche priuely the skyrt of his garmeÌ„t go to som holy maÌ„ in whom this vertue shyneth that with his prayers he may coÌ„mende the to our merciful lorde For by them ofteÌ„ tymes he putteth forth his power beyng redy on euery syde to gyue saluacion to euery maÌ„ For that enteÌ„t he came this was the food wherwith he was fedde that he might drawe synners to repeÌ„taÌ„ce And in the boke of Genesis also whan wicked folke by theyr mischeuous dedes ê“uoked the wrath of our lorde yet at the prayer of AbrahaÌ„ our lorde had forgyueÌ„ many cities appoynted to be distroied if he coude haue founde .x. good men amonge the people The peple of Israel had deserued to be distroied our lorde at the prayers of Moyses restrayneth the sworde of vengeaÌ„ce O blinde vnkynd folke that regarde nat the mercy of our lorde that is so metyng so redy euery where but more vnhappy be they that wyllingly despeyre of that the frely is offered them He is lightly pleased whiche nat willing is reueÌ„ged For what other thyÌ„g souneth this voyce And why dye ye the house of Israel Agayne in an other place he bewayleth that he al the day had spred abrode his handes to the people without beleue striuyng agaynst him Agayne in Micheas My people what haue I done to the or wherin haue I greued the answere me Lyke wyse in Esaie What is hit that I ought to haue done more to my vyne and haue nat done it Our lorde doth euery thynge that he myght saue vs and shal we wylfully cast away hope of saluacion In the gospell

vnto his mercies in the syght of all that toke them He sayd mercies bicause he had rehersed many wycked dedes with whiche he prouoked the anger of god And Dauid on all partis oppressed with yls sayth It is better that I fall in the haÌ„des of our lorde for manifold are his merices than in to the handes of men As in one offence often times are many sinnes so lyke wise in one mâ—rcy many mercies are conteyned Ones he redemed mankynd but here in howe manifolde are the mercies Whiche Esaias beholdynge with the eie of fayth speketh thus in the persone of god promysynge our sauiour Iesus And I wyll make with you a couenant euerlastyng the faythfull mercies of Dauid In a lyke figure god being appeased speketh in the prophet Hieromie And I wyll gyue you mercies and shall haue pite vpon you For many greuous synnes many mercyes are promysed Lyke wyse after many afflictions god hauynge pyte of his people speketh thus in the prophet zacarie I wyll retourne to Hierusalem in mercies and my house shall be buylded But why reherse we those thynges out of bokes of the olde testameÌ„t in whiche so ofte tymes the name of mercies is encouÌ„tred And yet some heretykes beleue that the same lawe procedeth of a â—uste and nat of a good god whan it souneth welnere nothyng elles than the mercies of our lorde Howe moche lesse is it to be maruailed if Paule thapostle in the .ii. pistle to the Thessal accordyng to the prophettis wordes writeth in this wyse Blessed be god and father of our lorde Iesu Christe father of mercyes lorde of al coÌ„solacioÌ„ whiche coÌ„forteth vs in al our tribulacion The apostle somwhat addeth to mercy for it is a poynt of mercy to ê‘done offence done here whiche is moche more god of a reueÌ„ger is made a coÌ„forter These thynges we haue repeted of the holy scripture to th entent that we by that fygure of spekyng myght vnderstande the signified excedyng and vnspekeable mercy of god towarde euery body and in all yls The same is shewed by an other figure whiche is eyther Anadiplosis that in latin one may calle CoÌ„duplicatio orels nerest to Anadiplosis For as the Hebrewes call that good good that they reken to be excedyng good and yll yll that is excedyng yll so likewise in holy scripture god is ofte called pitefull and mercifull for the excedyng greatnes of his mercy So ye rede in the psalme Cxliiij Our lorde is pitefull and merciful and as though that also were a small thynge he addeth Pacient and moche merciful Agayne in an other psalme Our pitefull mercifull lorde hath made remeÌ„braÌ„ce of his marueiles Lykewyse in Iohel Rente your hartes and nat your clothes for our lorde god is pitefull and mercifull and sorowynge for malices And in the prophet Ieremie Therfore my bowelles haue ben troubled vpon hym I piteynge shall haue mercy on them saythe our lord What is piteyng to haue mercy but to haue mercy out of meaâ—ure To this poynt ê‘teyneth that sythe it is infinite what so euer is in god yet it that amoÌ„ge men sowneth vnto vice holy writte semeth to ascribe vnto hym certeyne ouer moche and vnmoderate mercy I wolde your goodnesse shulde so take this sayeng as ê‘swaded nothynge to be in god that sowueth to any vice shuld vnderstande that vnder yâ— figure the holy scripture submytâ—yng it selfe to maÌ„nes ê‘ceyuyng signyfyeth a marueilous an iÌ„credible excesse of diuine mercy Whiche thynge that I may more plainly speake ye more ê‘fectly ê‘ceyue coÌ„sydre this in your mynde Â¶ If a kyng shulde stablyshe rigorous lawes on a mankyller after he had coÌ„myttâ—d maÌ„slaughter ones wolde ê‘done hym may hap it shuld be ascriued to his clâ—mency But he ê‘doned hym that had done that mischeuous dede .x. tymes or more wolde nat euery body crie out The kinges clemeÌ„cy is oâ—uer moche yâ— ouerthroweth the strength of the lawes ê“uoketh the lewde ê‘sones to do wickedly for lacke of punishemeÌ„t Also a father that ones or twise for gyueth his son for spendyng his money lewdly away may hap shal be called eaâ—y and mylde If the same father often tymes gyue his soÌ„ne money so lewdly wastyng hit wyll nat euery body saye He is to easy and by his hyndnes marreth his soÌ„ne And moche more southly hit myght be sayd if he dyd so to his seruant More ouer if an husbande shuld take in worth if his wyfe were takeÌ„ ones in auoutry vndouted euery body wolde marueyle to fynde so meke an husbande But the womaÌ„ soone after breke her wedlocke is takeÌ„ iÌ„ auoutry nowe with one nowe with an other if he thaÌ„ toke her to hym agayne wolde nat all the people say he were a starke fole orels his wiues baude But god that is our kynge our father our lorde our spouse excâ—pteth no kynde of syn he prescribetâ— no noÌ„bre of synnyng as ofte as we ameÌ„de he releaseth our peine whiche his euerlastynge lawe thretneth he receyueth vs in to his household he leadeth vs iÌ„ to the chaÌ„bre of his charite he nat onely receyueth vs but also forgyueth all our offeÌ„ces The shepe that was lost he carieth home on his shulders to the cote agayne he stereth the congregation of holy folke to reioyce to gether he mereth the riottous childe returnyng home froÌ„ far cuntrey he offereth hym a fayre gowne and a rynge he coÌ„mandeth to kylle a goodly calfe What thyng els signifieth all this but vnmoderate â—if I may so saye ouermoche mercy of god But nowe it semeth lesse marueile if a mâ—n forgyue a man offeÌ„dyng that also other while doth offeÌ„ce hym selfe likewise or may offeÌ„d if a kynge ê‘done hym that somtyme dyd hym good profitable seruice or if the father forgyue his son whose coÌ„uersacioÌ„ he feleth doth ease his olde age if a mayster forgyue is seruant by whose labour he partly lyueth if the husbaÌ„de forgyue his wyfe taken in auoutrie with whom other while he leadeth his life pleasantly AmoÌ„ge men he that some time ê‘doneth dredeth hym that he forgiueth and other while can nat aueÌ„ge hym selfe if he wolde But god that hath nede of no maÌ„ that may with a becke distroy vs if he wold so often tymes of vs despised forsakeÌ„ denied suffreth calleth receyueth and enbraseth vs. As no loue is more ferueÌ„t nor strayter conioynynge than betwene man and wyfe so lyke wyse no anger is harder to appease than it that ryseth by breakyng of wedlocke And yet here what our mylde lorde saythe by the prophet Esaias to his spouse an auouâ—rice defyled with so many auoutries It is coÌ„monly sayd if a maÌ„ forsake his wyfe and she departed froÌ„ hym weddeth an other man shall he retourne to her any more Shall nat the womaÌ„ be poluted and defiled Truly thou coÌ„mittest fornication with many louers and yâ—t returne to me saith our lorde I wyl receiue the. A maried maÌ„ wyl nat take his wyfe agayne whom parauenture he forsoke for

vnwelthynes as thou wylt touchynge the worlde yet if thou by these teÌ„porel yuels redeme felicite euerlasting thou art abuÌ„daÌ„tly happy Â¶ Nowe forgyuyng mercy whiche also we cleape Clemency euery maÌ„ knoweth saue he that thynketh hym selfe gyltles froÌ„ all syn But what sayth thapostle IohnÌ„ If we say we be without synne we be lyers and there is no treuth in vs. And if the sterres be nat clere in the syghte of god and if in his angels he fouÌ„de wickednes if no creature be pure in the syght of god yea nat a childe of a day olde whiche of vs may glorifie to haue a chaste harte Many seme rightous amoÌ„ge men before god no man is iuste but al our iusticis are as it were the clothe of a womaÌ„ defiled with the menstruous flixe Paule ê‘ceyueth howe the carnall lawe in his meÌ„bres stryueth agaynst the lawe of the mynde and crieth out I vnhappy creature who shall deliuer me from the body of this dethe Iob with a iuste mans title honoured is nat fouÌ„de clene fautles by the talkynge of god Also he the prophet Dauid dredeth the iugement of god nere that it were alayed with moche mercy Thou shuldest nat eÌ„tre good lorde sayth he in iugement with thy seruaÌ„t for truely no lyuyng creature shal be fouÌ„de iuste in thy syght Â¶ Nowe let eche of vs entre in to the chambre of his conscience and consider howe many wayes howe ofte howe greuously he hath offended god yea with what sondry vices al our benefittes are defiled and so than he shal vnderstaÌ„d howe moche he is bounde to the excedynge great mercy of god that so paciently suffereth our febleâ—es that by so many occasions stereth vs to repentance that so swetely forgyueth all our offences whan we leaue our wickednes To al these I wyl adde that shal seme to some nat very ê“uable Whan god distroyeth the wycked lyuers that roÌ„ne to the hiest point of malice and casteth them downe in to helle yet than he forgetteth nat his mercy He delyuereth the Hebrewes diuidynge the wawes of the see and drowneth Pharao with his garde Mercy was on bothe sydes helpyng towarde his people punyshyng toward the kyng ful of desperate malice lest he shulde heapyng synnes vpon sinnes purchase hym selfe more greuous peynes in helle The healyng mercy was that god by so many plages stered hym to do penaÌ„ce And nowe he assailed with so many yuels began to repent but after he repented hym selfe agayne of his helthfull repentance sayd I knowe nat our lorde nor I wyll nat let the people go Nor yet he moued with so great myracle ceassed nat to pursue them but blynded with anger boldly entred in to the see God of his mercy oppressed his desperate malice that whan he wolde nat be healed he shulde more easily perishe The â—ame ought to be demed of the other examples of cruelte that be rehersed in bokes of the olde testament as of them that the fire burned the grouÌ„de swalowed the sword distroyed the serpentes deuoured For in the gospels the examples of vengeance are fewer but all of mercy Hit was an easy correction that Elymas stryken with sodayne blyÌ„dnes was taught nat to stryue agaynst the worde of the gospell Paule deliuered a fewe to Satanas in affliction of the fleshe that the soule myght be saued at the day of dome and they corrected with shame shulde turne to better frute There is no example more rigorous than of Ananias and Saphiras that by Peters correctioÌ„ fell downe deed sodeynly and yet it is vncerteyn whether theyr soules by dethe of the body are saued Finally the punishement that the damned soules of yll lyuers suffre in helle is lesse thaÌ„ theyr meritis And there be some that esteme the mercy of god so great that they beleue that the wicked spirites also and daÌ„ned soulis ones after many seasons gone about shall be receiued to grace Though this opinion stayeth on a great autor yet it hath beÌ„ reproued by the ê‘fect fathers of our fayth whiche onely we reherse for this entent that we maye declare what an excedyÌ„g great opinioÌ„ meÌ„ most highly lerned conceyued of the mercy of god whiche nyght day were occupied in holy bokes whiche synge extolle and magnifie welnere nothynge elles but the mercy of god Â¶ Nowe if it be shewed sufficiently what euer we be or haue touchyÌ„g goodnesâ— that we be defeÌ„ded froÌ„ iuels depeÌ„dyng that we be delyuered froÌ„ hurtes oppressyng that in the myddes of tribulacions refreshed with heuenly comfort we abyde stronge lusty that by temporal afflictions we be eyther instructed to repentance or exercised to ê‘fect vertue that our syns done be nat to vs imputed whereinto so oft we slide cometh al of the mercy of god that ye may more clerely perceyue the excedyng heyght breade and depenes therof I pray you that with me ye wyl a lytell beholde your selfe inwardly fyrst in that party through whiche ye be most lothsome after in that wherby ye excelle lastely ye muste regarde the yls that outwarde hange ouer and coÌ„passe you about and agayne to yÌ„e bounties of whom the hope is to you shewed The contemplacion of all these thynges wyll teche vs the largenes of diuine mercy wher of verily is neyther measure nor nombre Â¶ If we beholde this small body the pype or litel house of our soule vneth
