oute besyde the riuer and Egles shall deuour it Behold ye do heare here welbeloued Chyldren what the holy ghost doth require of you trewlye that you shoulde giue honour vnto your parentes yf ye do not ye here what kynd of punishmēt he doth admonishe vs with Ecclesiast the 3. Chapter saith Who that doth honour his father he shall haue delyte in hys chyldren and he shall obteyne hys request in that day that he dothe praye he that honoureth his father shall haue longe lyfe and he that is obedient vnto his sather shall make hys mother glad Honour thy father that thou mayste be blessed of god c. Furthermore Christe the sonne of god and our sauyour the xv Chapter of Matthew Chydynge y e Pharises saith Wherfore do you breke the commaundemente of God for your owne traditions For god commaunded saying honour thy father and mother and who so euer curseth father or mother shal dye the death Also Sainct Paul to the Ephesians the 5. Chapter sayth Chyldren obey your parentes in the lorde for that is ryghte honoure your father and mother in the lord whiche is the fyrste commaundemente that hath any promes that it may be well vnto the and that thou mayste lyue longe vpon the earth yea heare well beloued chyldren how this fourth precepte both in the olde Testamente and also in the new is very often tymes repeted wyth out doubte euen onely for this cause y t god shoulde shew that this commaundemente shoulde not escape the remembraunce of chyldren and that it shoulde be alwayes vnto them as the moste necessaryest thyng perteynyng to them in the house yea and also euen that thyng which almyghtie god hath declared bye many examples for why in lyke case as god did curse Cham the sonne of Noe for that he had no honour vnto his father Euē in lyke case did he blesse Sem the sonne of Noe for that he dyd reuerently honour his father as it dothe appeare in the ix Chapter of Gene. And it is not vnknowen what dyd chaunce to Absalon the second boke of y e kynges the xviij Chapter For that he gaue not dewe honour vnto his father Dauid as he ought to do But what neade I too set fourth any more examples as whoo shoulde say that the holy scripture were not ful of examples with the which god doth now shew that he fauoureth those which honor their parentes so to hate those which do not their duetie in honourynge their parentes These thynges I thynke well beloued chyldren shall kyndle you that ye should haue dewe honour vnto your patentes it is the fyrste commaundement of god hauyng promes that is not once much spoken of abrode but we fynde it very often repeted in holy scripture yea and also by examples wyth the whiche God sheweth inobediente chyldren toward their parentes y t he wyll be auenged of thē And in examples to the whiche he doth declare how iust he is of his promes toward those chyldren whiche loue their parētes honor thē obei thē For that which I here say of parēts y t self same I will you to vnderstande of maisters professours of thy deuine word of all Maiestrates for as I haue sayd a litle before in this commaundemente all obedyence is commaunded toowardes euery man our dutie once done to god the which be called to the hygheste honoure Iesus Christe the sone of God graunt that that thinge the which is required of you in this commaundement that you earnestly may performe it with the helpe of his spyryte and that you may both mynd it and folow it for god is he which worketh in you bothe for to wyll it and to performe it after as it shall please him to y e Philippi 2. The fyfte housholde Sermon vnto theyr Chyldren and famylye YE haue hearde well beloued chyldren what god hath required of you now therfore heare wherein our dutie doth apperteyn towarde other men god saith thus Thou shalt not kyl whiche commaundement truely in his kind as the Iewes do vnderstande it doth seme onely to forbyd that we shuld not neyther kyll our neighbour with hande nor with swerde But Christe being the chief interpreter of the law Matthew the v. Chapter It is not ynough sayth he yf thou kylleste no man wyth thy hande vnlesse also our herte is voyde of all angre and hatred for why thus saith Christe oure sauiour Who so euer is angry wyth his brother is giltie of iudgemente that is to say he is worthy to haue that punishmente which he shoulde haue that with his hande hath kylled any man that is to dye and semblabely to be kylled Ihon in his fyrste Epistle the 3. Chapter sayth Euerye one that hatyth hys brother is a manqueller why so For although he kylleth not his brother with a swerde yet beyng inflamed w t hatred in his herte wyssheth his neyghbour to be vtterly kylled Nor truely those onely of the which we haue spoken bye man quellers but Ehrist sayth further ▪ Who so euer shall saye to hys brother Racha shall be gyltye of counsell for Racha doth signyfie here all maner of tokens w t the which we declare our selues to be angry with our neighboure as whē we wyl neyther see a mā nor heare him or when we wyll reioyce priuely when any mysfortune is chaunced towarde our neighbour or else when we do shew our selues towarde our neyghbour that it shall easely apeare that there can be nothyng more thankefull nor nothyng more welcomer then yf our neyghbour come to vtter distruction Christ sayth more ouer who so euer shall saye foole shall be gyltye of helle fyre in this worde foole is comprehended not onely externe sygnes but al naughtie wordes whiche come from y t herte that doth hurte our neyghboure And yf I do call any man foole vpon agood intente I synne not So paule calleth the Galathyans fooles in y t 3. Chapter And Christe in the laste Chapter of Luke sayth vnto his Discyples O fooles and slow herted to beleue and truely we oughte not onelye here to vse the name of fooles but also greuousely to be angry and to shew al maner of sharpnesse and as it were vnmercyfulnes for suche anger is a godly zeale which is angry wyth the euyll and not wythe the person to whom he wyssheth wyth all his herte good for this cause the men of law if they wolde take it as they should take it They say well that they be the enemyes of the cause and the frende of the person Ye haue heard well beloued chyldren how Christe hath more truely and better interpretated this commaundement againste kyllynge thy brother then either the Iewes in olde tyme did interpretate it or then some Christians at this presente day do interpretate it after y e text Ye do hear also that although all the world is full of manquellers yet for all that no man wyll knowe in hym selfe y t he is a manqueller what What

manquellers be those which do abound in ryches and do suffer their neighbour to perysshe withe famyne thyrste and cold Trewly what is it else but to giue no meate to these that be hungrye too gyue no drinke to those that be thyrsty to gyue no clothes to those that be naked then to that is in his power to kyl his neighbour there is no difference as the ciuile lawes do affirme whether any man kyll or whether he be the cause of death what nede I many wordes This commaundement doth requyre of vs y t we shoulde not hurt our neighbour ney ther wyth worde nor deade but helpe hym by all meanes possible with councell and wyth the helpe both of bodye and goodes and that we shoulde take no lesse care in his cawse then in our owne yea and also that no man shoulde loke for his own but eueri man for his neighbours to the Philyppians the 2. Chapter Furthermore how wylleth God y t this commaundemente shoulde be vyolated of no man for he doth not let scape the manqueller vnpunysshed seing that as well prophane histories do shewe as deuine but that we wyll here ouer passe prophane histories Did not god punish greauousely Cain for bycause he dydde kyll his brother Abell Geneses the 4. Chapter And did not god strayghtlye punysshe Achab and Iesabell for y t they dyd kyll myserably Naboth the thyrde boke of the kynges the 21. Chap. There be examples ynoughe in scripture well beloued Chyldren pray ye vnto God y t ye maye caste oute of youre herte at all tymes both angre and hatred and disceitefulnes towarde your neighbour and that he wolde suffer your handes not to be defyled withe the bloud of your neighboure by oure Lorde Iesus Christe So be it The syxte housholde Sermon vnto theyr Chyldren and famylye I Thynke that ye are not forgetful well beloued Chyldren that the syxt commaundement of almightie god ought to be expounded to you which is Thou shalte not commit adultry which commaundemente although it seemeth to be spoken to those whiche be knit to gyther with the bande of matrymony yet for all that it doth also per teyne vnto those whiche be not maried and fyrst it requireth of him whom g●d shall call to haue a wyfe for god was y e fyrste aucthor that we shoulde haue wy ues after the saying of Christ Matthew the 19. Chapter Let not man seperate those whom god doth ioyne And after the saying of Salomon in his proucrbes the 19. Chapter God dothe gyue vs a wyse wyfe we muste loue her withe all our hearte and to be content onely with her and to desyre none other Whyche commaundemente Christ in Matthew the 5. Chapter doth interpretate both a gainste the perswations of the Iewes and also of them whiche counte theymselues christians ye haue hearde that it was sayde vnto the elders thou shalte not commyt adultrye But I tell you who so euer loketh vpō an other mans wyfe to luste after her hath commytted in his herte adultry withe her beholde ye haue hearde well beloued Chyldrē that it is not Inough if any manne do not commyt adultry with an other mannes wyfe but if he burne in hys herte with desirynge of his neighbours wyfe this precepte doth admony she vs that we shoulde take hede as well of y e herte as of all other thynges For oute of the herte cometh all euyll thoughtes adultry fornycation Matthew the 15. Chapter Furthermore this commatindemente doth require in his kynde that y u shuldest leab a chast lyfe and flee whore dome and that thou shouldest be cleane as well in soule as body And if thou fealest that thou caust not lyue contenente or chaste for this worde ought chieflye to be noted that Christe spake few hath this gyfte that then he shoulde marry in the whiche thou oughtest so to ordre thy lyfe for to be contented withe thye wife and to leaue other mens wines vntouched To be short there is conteyned in this precepte and prohibited all maner of kyndes of lustes whych eyther may be done or expressed with fylthy cōmunication or desyred with euyll thoughtes of the herte And this commaundement is furthermore called to remembraunce in the holy scriptures Salomon saith in his prouerbes A wife shal make the mery how yonge so euer shee be euen as a pleasant Doo or as a lustye fawen and therefore contente thy selfe alway in the loue of her and continually study to loue her and by and by he addeth o my sonne wherefore wylte thou be seduced by an harlotte and wylt imbrace a straunge woman Paule in his firste Epistle to the Corinthians the 6. Chapter saith flee whoredome And in his fyrste Epistle to the Thessalonians the 4. Chapter sayth This is the wyll of god your sainctificatiō that ye shuld absteyne from whordom and that euerye one of you shuld knowe how to possesse your vessell in sanctifycation and honour And here Paul doth often tymes exhorte men that they should loue their wynes and that they shoulde loue them so as Christe hath loued hys churche to the Ephesians the 5. Chapter And to the Collossi the 3. Chapter Ye men saith Sainct Paul loue your wynes and be not sharpe towardes theym furthermore for that that god wyll punisshe greuousely as well formcation as adultry it may be confirmed as well with the open testymonies of holy scripture as with examples of the same ouer and besides I wyll here hold my peace of the madnes with y e which god doth make blynde both whoremongers and adulterers After the sayinge of Oseas Fornication wyne doth make blynd a mans herte And after the sayinge of S. Paul the firste Epistle to the Corinthyans the 6. Chapter Yee can not be bothe the members of an harlot and the mēbers of christ both here in y e world to come excepte they do repente they wyll be punnisshed as well whormongers as adulterers Salomon in his prouerbes y e 6. chapter sayth Foles when they commyte fornication they forsake their lyfe bryng vpon them as wel de fourmytie as a plage and they can neuer a voyde the sclaunder paule in hys fyrste Epystle to the Corinthyans the 6. chapter sayth Be not disceyued neyther whoremongers nor adulteters shal receyue the inheritaunce of the kyngedome of heauen To the gala the 5. chapter the workes of the flesh be manyfest adultry whordome vncleanesse wanton nesse c. Who so euer do those thyngs they shall not be the in heritours of the kyngedome of Heauen to the Hebrues the 13. Chapter God shall iudge whoremongers and adulterers Furthermore for that that god will punnish them with greuous paynes the fyrste epystle of sayntte Paule to the Corin. the 10. chapter Declareth neyther let vs be defyled with adultrye lyke as some of them were defyled and ther fell in on daye 3 and twentye thousand The xxv Chapter of y e 4 boke of Moyses Gene. the 20. and 6. Chapter God did

petitions of his faythfulll But peraduenture thou lokest brother y t fynaly I shoulde shew the what thynges we shoulde pray for that is what thynges we shoulde aske of god although I thynke that it is no nede seyng that dayly thou doste pray with me afore the table Ie. Truely those thynges I do loke for all though chiefly I pray dayly with the but I know not how to vnderstand those thynges whiche I praye Christo Those thinges which we ought to pray for ther is no man doth shew better thē Christe hym selfe for y u knowest so dyd our father affirme I. Trewly he did affirme it but I pray y e repete it agayne compendiously as y u canst right wel C. I wyll do at thy cōmaundement that w t a good wyll my brother C. The syxte Chap. of Matt. saith Ye shal pray after this maner Our father which art in heauen halowed be thy name Thy kyngdome come Thy wyll be done in earth as it is in heauen Gyue vs this daye our dayly bread And forgyue vs our trespaces as we forgyue them that trespace agaynst vs. And suffer vs not to be led into temptation But delyuer vs from euyll Amen Ierome I haue this prayer vpon my fyngers endes yf thou wylte know it I wyll say it without the boke Ch. O brother it is not ynough to saye this godly and holy prayer without the boke excepte thou maist vnderstand it for our father did say that this praier shall neuer come from y e bottome of the herte vnlesse we do well vnderstande it there is no prayer thankfully taken of god onlesse it be drawne out of the inwarde bosome of our herte Ie. Therfore make me that I maye vnderstande this prayer by some meanes all though I learne it not withoute the boke Ch. I wyll go aboute to do it god wyllyng And as thou arte wonte to do gyue thy dilygence vnto me wyth an attentyne eare Ierome I shall doo that thyng Christo In the first begynnynge of this praier our father dyd affirme beneuolence almoste to be taken of those thynges which shal be asked afterward for synce that god not onely God that is to saye oure defender succuorore and helper but also is a father nor fathere of this man or that man but oure father that is of us all which puttethe their truste in Iesus Christe his onelye begotten sonne And how can he denye vs y t thynge the which we aske of hym Ierom. Surely euen in lyke case seyng that oure yearthely fathers bye whose mean we were brought into this world can not deny vs that thynge which we aske of hym moche lesse euen that oure father celestial which is father of vs all can deny vs of any thynge that we aske which doth excell all other yearthely fathers both in goodnes mercy Christo Surely thou doste gyue a godly Iudgemente of our god my brother Ierome euer talke thou on these thynges lette thys be thy Godly exercyse Therfore thou knowest how with these wordes our father should be a preparation with a certeyne beneuolence towardes those thynges which we shalbe about to aske Iero I knowe it very wel but how vnderstandest thou thys thynge which is added vnto which art in heauē Christo God truely as thou haste hearde of our father is in euery place but peculyarly he is in heauen and he is in celestial and hygh thynges And withe these wordes we are called from the care of worldely thynges for to be alwaye in contemplation of heauenly thynges Wherefore Christe when he shoulde praye did lyft vp his eyes vnto heauen Iero. Surelye this fyrste begynnyng doth excellently well and therefore say on Christo The begynnyng of this prayer doth gather seuen petitions in the which thou haste hearde all those thynges as knitte vp euen to gither with one band euen what so euer shoulde be eyther asked of God or necessary for vs. Iero. I haue hearde those thynges whiche thou haste sayde but cause that I may more playnely vnderstande them Christo Fyrst we praie let thy name be halowed thys thynge our father did saie that it did smell some what of the Hebrew phrase and therefore it could not be vnderstanded so wel of men Ierome Whatte doth it meane then Christo This it meaneth that y e name of god that euer both was and is holy shalbe sainctified in vs that is as oure ked kynges Princes euen as it might be with a sudden thunder which at the denylles instigation wolde go aboute to forbyd and extyuguysshe the Gospel w t all those which were earnest professours of the Gospell yea and also that this petition dyd often tymes withstande that the wicked and cruell wyll shall I say their carnall desyre shall in no wyse be fulfylled Iero. How wyllest thou that these wordes shalbe vnderstande euen in earthe as it is in heauen Christo Haste thou forgotten those thynges that oure father did say that these wordes ought thys waye to be taken that in lyke case as the holy Aungels in heauen do obey his holy will so in like case here in earth his holy wyll to be obeyed of all men yea and that in all maner of thynges Iero. But gentyll brother what do we then aske to be gyuen vnto vs of God whylest we saye gyue vs this daye our dayly bread Christo To be shorte gentle brother we do not onely aske of god for bread but we aske for those which labour dilygently that he might preserue vs with a sufficiencye yea and alsoo fortillers of the earthe that god wolde send a prosperous successe vnto their laboures to sende temperatenesse of weather to make their grounde frute full that the corne may growe to our sustenance we also do aske here that god maye take awaye all euyls which be wonte ether to destroye cornes or choke vp cornes as hayle thunder boysterous wyndes or else such proper chaunces as doth apperteyne or come by their owne nature as wormes or rottynge when it dothe lye on the grounde where vpon oure father did shew that the Heathens had certen holydayes that were instituted to praye vnto their Goddes for suche chaunces In the steade of such feastes as I thynk wee haue come into their place certeyne superstitious supplications and prayers made vnto Amburbya or the prayers of Amburbia Ierom Forsoth those thynges which thou haste shewed I remembre that they were declared of our father Christo We pray for in the same petition that god may dryue awaye battayle for that in tyme of warre all corne and fyldes be destroied trode vnderneth the foote and thoose that be tyllers be slayne so that there must nedes folowe dearth of corne to be shorte we do aske of god for all necessarye thynges perteynyng to our lyuing with these few wordes Iero. I vnderstande very wel how many thynges we do aske of god wyth these few wordes but I pray the wherfore is this worde to day addyd Chris To
