of God and therefore Paule the Apostle saith Whether you eate or drinke or whatsoeuer you doe doe all to the glorie of God. But such is the blindenesse and corruption of our nature that we of our selues are neuer able to satisfie our bounden required dutie Herein God therefore of his great mercy hath in the holy Scripture prouided Lanternes to our féete and light to our steppes which if we attende vnto shall deliuer vs from ignoraunce and guide vs in the right way So that the Scripture is as it were a Storehouse appointed for vs to repaire vnto and from thence to fetch out counsell instruction and direction that in all our dooings God may be glorified and we our selues in God edified I therefore considering the businesse we haue nowe in hande and the cause of our assemblye at this time that is the buriall of this Noble man haue repaired to the Scripture and from thence haue chosen out the péece of Scripture I haue read vnto you out of the xiiij chapter of the Apocalips In the which after we haue weyed opened and considered it we shall finde cause to extoll and magnifie the holy name of the Lord and shall also for our partes receyue sundry christian lessons and diuers godly instructions First we are to call to remembraunce some part of the Argument of this Booke of the Apocalips and some matters therin conteined wherevpon this our text doth depend part of the Argument of this Booke is a declaratiō and a foreknowledge opened by our Sauiour Iesus Christ in a vision to s. Iohn the Apostle and Euangelist of the variable state of the kingdome of Christ in this world the prosperitie and cruelty of the kingdome of Antichrist the successe and entertainment of the Gospell of Christ the persecutions which the Professors of the same shoulde susteyne of Antichrist and his ministers And amongst other Reuelations in the xiij Chapter mencion is made of a horrible Beast that s. Iohn séeth ryse out of the bottome of the Sea hauing seauen heads and tenne hornes to the which it was giuen to make warre against the Saintes and preuaile against them After that he séeth an other Beast comming out of the earth hauing two hornes like to the Lammes but spake lyke the Dragon and had power to doe all thinges that the first Beast coulde doe By the former Beast is vnderstoode the Empire of Rome which vnreasonably and beastly persecuted the Christians in the primitiue Church Daniell the Prophet in the vij Chapter doth terme the Empire a Beast And s. Ierome expounding that place of Daniell sayth by the Beast he meaneth the Empire of Rome by the seconde Beast is vnderstood the Popedome in cruelty and shedding of bloud nothing inferiour to the former Beast as Adrian Byshop of Rome testified saying Nos succedimus Romulo in effutione sanguinis non Petro in predicatione verbi We sayth he succéede Romulus in shedding of bloud and not Peter in preaching of the worde The instruments of the cruell persecution of Christians doe appeare vnto s. Iohn in the forme and figure of monstruous noysome beastes partly bicause the Saintes of God shall haue at their handes no more pittie compassion or ciuill order shewed then if they fell to the daūger of Leopards Lions Woolfes or Beares ▪ Malefactors and transgressors of lawes whatsoeuer their offence is though it were treason shall haue lawe obserued shall holde vp their hande and speake for themselues and shall finde some orderly dealing but the Professors of Gods word vnder those cruell beastes shall be tormented butchered torne and slayne without law mercy compassion or any humanitie The histories of the old time and the experience of these our dayes are foorthcomming to beare witnesse of this truth Now least the Saints for feare of these horrible beastes shoulde forsake the profession of the Gospell and take vpon them the marke of the Beast in their forheades and so enter to doubt that if they shoulde lose this lyfe there were no reward foorth-comming for constant Martirdome nor no other lyfe but this to be looked for Amongst other matters of consolation reuealed to s. Iohn he is here by a voyce from heauen commaunded to write Blessed are the dead which dye in the Lorde and so foorth In these words the Saints of God may find a sufficient consolacion and cause of good courage to enter the combat with the cruell beasts being hereby assured that there is a rewarde ordeyned of God for his Saintes in Heauen and that there remayneth a lyfe of euerlasting blisse after the tyme of this troublesome worlde And therefore the lesse cause to feare the fiercenesse of the beastes whose power reacheth no further then this temporall transitorie lyfe Our text we haue in hand we will deuide into thrée parts The first is of the assuraunce authoritie of the doctrine herein comprehended The seconde the doctrine it selfe that s. Iohn is commaunded to write The thirde is a declaration of the same by circumstances of these parts or so many of these as conuenient time will serue we will by the helpe of God speake and deale wyth But first let vs pray c. Here the Prayer was made Audiui vocem de coelo dicentem c. I hearde a voyce from Heauen saying write c. HEre S. Iohn seemeth to allude to the maner commonly receyued amongest all people which is to committe to wryting such knowledge of profytable and necessarie matters as are found out to be certayne vndoubted and sure and so to transmit the same to the posteritie The credit and authoritie of matters founde out and committed to wryting depende much vpon the first authours as the authoritie of the Lawes of the Athenians and Lacedemonians depended vpon the credite of Solon and Lycurgus the authours of the same The authour of thys doctrine that s. Iohn is commaunded to write is God himselfe for he saith I hearde a voyce from heauen and further ioyneth therto euen so sayth the spirite This is therefore the voyce of the sonne of God our Lord Iesus Christ for it is his voyce that s. Iohn in the beginning of the Reuelacion hearde as the voyce of a trumpet saying I am α and ω the first and the last that thou seest wryte in a booke sende to the seuen churches in Asia It is he that s. Iohn sawe sitting betweene the seauen golden Candlestickes lyke to the sonne of man Christ whyle as yet he was conuersant with his disciples promysed to doe all things to teach and to speake in the Church by the spirite and here now the spirite teacheth and confirmeth this doctrine for in the text foloweth euen so sayth the spirite Thus we haue certaintie and assuraunce that the wordes which are here mencioned be the wordes of Iesus Christ and that this is a celestial oracle which is lawfull for no man to doubt of Christ from heauen doth minister the
