which departe hence yf they have leved well be cause they are gone in to a more prosperous liffe Finally he taught aÌ„d exhorted all men to subdue the affections of their bodyes And to applye their soules to the contemplacyon of those thinges whiche truly are immortall all though they be not sene with these bodelye eyes Aristotle writeth in hys politikes that there can nothinge be so swete and delycyous to man But that at somtyme yt doth displease hym only vertue excepte The Epicure graunteth that there can be nothinge delectable and pleasante in this liffe except the mynde and conscience froÌ„ whence all pleasure springe be clere and with out grutche of sinne besydes that there have bene some that have fulfylled a great parte of thys doctrine And cheâ—ly of all Gocrates Siogenes aÌ„d Epictetus how be it sith Christ him silfe hath both taught and also done these thinges more consummatly then eny other ys yt not a mervelous thinge that these thinges are not onlye vnknowen of them which professe the name of Christ. But also to be despised of them yee and to be made a laughinge stocke Yf there be eny thinge that goethe more nere to Christianite let vs then disanulle these thinges aÌ„d folow them But sith there is no nother thinge that can make a true Christen man Why then do we recounte this immortall doctrine more abrogate and out of vse then the bokes of Moyses The first poynte of Christianite is to knowe what Christ hath taught The next is to do there after and to fulfyll it as nygh as god gâ—veth vs grace Nether thynke I that eny man wyll counte hym silfe a faythfull Chrysten because he can despute wyth a craftye and tedious perplexite of wordes of relatyons quiddityes and formalites But in that he knowledgeth and expresseth in dedeâ— those thinges which Christ both taught and accomplisshed Nether speake I thyâ— to discommende their studye labour whiche have exercysed their wittes in these sotle invencyons for I wold offend no man But rather be cause I beleve as the matter is in deade that the very pure and naturall phylosophâ—e of Christ can be gathered out so frutefully of no place as out of the Gostpels and epistles of the apostleâ— in whiche yf a man will studye devoutelye attendinge m ore to prayer theÌ„ arguinge desynnge rather to be made a new maÌ„ then to be armed with scriptures vnto contentioÌ„ he with out doute shall finde that there is nothinge pertayninge vnto mannes felicyte other clles vnto eny operacion exâ—edient vnto thiâ— presente liffe But it is declared discussed and absolutely touched Yf we go aboute to lerne eny thinge werfore shall an other master and instructor more please vs then christ him silf Yf we requyre a rule and forme to lyve after why do we rather embrace an other example then the very first copy and paâ—trone whyche is christe hymsilfe If we desyre an holesome medycyne agaynst the grevous and noysome lustes or appâ—tytes of oure myndes Why seake we not here the most frâ—tefull remedye If we appeâ—e to quycken and refresshe with readinge oure dull and fayntinge mynde I pray the where shall we fynde soch quycke and firye sparkyls If we covete to withdrawe oure mindes froÌ„ the redious cares of this liffe why seake we eny other delectable pastymes why had we lever lerne the wisdom of Christes doctryne out of meÌ„nes bokes then of christ him silfe Whyche in thys scripture doth chefly performe that thinge whiche he promysed vnto â—s when he sayd that he wold conâ—ynew with vs vnto the ende of worlde For in thys hys testament he speaketh bretheth aÌ„d lyveth amoÌ„ge vs in a maner more effectuallye then when hys bodye waâ— presently conversante in this worlde The Iewes nether sawe nâ— hearde so moch As thou mayst dayly both here and se in the scripture of Christe there wanteth nothynge but that thou bringe the heares and eyes of fayth where with he maye be harde and perceaved What a mervelous worlde ys thys We kepe the letters which are written from oure frynde We kysse them and â—ere them aboute with vs. We reade them over twyse or thryse And how many thousandes are there amonge the Christen whyche are extemed of greate litterature And yet have not once in their lyvâ—s Read oveâ—â—he Gospleâ— and Epistles of the Apostleâ— Mahumeteâ— adhereÌ„tes are all well instructe in their awne secte And the Iewes vnto this daye even from their tender age studye diligently their Moses Why do not we soch honour vnto Christe embrasinge his preceptes which bringe eternall liffe They that professe saynt Benedictes institution which is a rule both made of a maÌ„ that was but of small learninge and also wryten vnto the seculare rude aÌ„d vnlearned observe their example lerne it by harte and drinke it in to their hartes Saynt Austyns adherentes are not ignorant in their rule Saynt Franciskes fryers do know observe and avaunce their patrones preceptes yee and carye them aboute with them whether so ever they go Insomoche that they thinke not them selves in savete excepte their boke be with them Why set they more by their rule which was writen of a man then the hole Christente by the holy scripture which Christ did equallye preach vnto all men which we have all professed in baptime And to conclude which is most holy amoâ—ge all other doctrines and none to be compared with it all though thou hepe sex hundreth to gedder and I wold to god y â— as Paule did write that the lawe of Moses had no glorye in comparison to the glorye of the gospell that succeded after it that even so the evangelyes aÌ„d epistles were extemed of the Christen so holy or hadde in soch reverence that the doctrynes
