yuell spoken of And for as muche as in our lyfe we serue the deuyll and Christe in oure wordes we shall hynder more with oure lyfe then we shal profyte wyth oure wordes It is the parte of an Hypocryte to carye in hys hande the Testament goodly beset with golde and gylted and to dispute and reasone of the worde of God in euerye feaste or bākette and yet in the meane tyme to lyue as one voyed of all mercye impacient ignoraunte of charitye vnmyndefull of modestye and paste all shame The eternall wysedome loueth none suche preachers notwithstandynge that it suffereth them But we muste see that we honoure and reuerence god in hys miracles and wonders that he wrought illumyne oure soules with hys helthsome doctryne and that we conceyuyng a sure hope in god through hys benefyte shewed do inwardely burne with the fyer of loue To conclude after that we beynge ryche of spiritual gyftes haue gayned one talent by an other and do possesse two talentes that is to saye lyfe and doctryne then muste we go forwarde merilye Eph. vi gyrdyng vp our loynes and pullyng on oure shoes to go forwarde in the Gospel of peace that we may also wynne the soule of oure brothers For thys is the wyll of god that vntyll suche tyme as Christ was gone into heauen secrete thynges shoulde be spoken secretely in the eares of our frendes but fence he is gone and the spirite comē deniynge him selfe to noman that wyll desyre hym vnfaynedlye Mat. x. mar iiij Lu. viij xij Matth. xxviij mar xvi i. co iiij a Iob. xij c Sap. i. b he would that the gospell should be preached on the toppes of houses that the preachers should runne into all the costes of the earthe and declare the gospel vnto all naciōs estates ages sexes in whome was any hope of any sparke of light what shoulde candles do vnder a busshell What shoulde money do without gaines And what shoulde fyre do mat v. b mar iiij Lu. viijb xi c without it burne Furthermore the Apostles were not sufficed with the preachynge of helthfull doctryne whylse they were yet on lyue in thys worlde but to the intent to profite theyr posteryte they occupyed theyr pennes that the spiritual traualle myght contynually beynge forth spirituall children All they therfore be without Christiā charitie and are infideles whiche do let preachynge and do forbyd that the christian people shoulde haue the new Testament the olde to reade there in theyr common tonge as thoughe our misteries were oracles and the christian writtynges contayned in the any thynge that loueth darkenesse No doubte we are muche bounde to thanke God for that he hath geuen the lyght of hys trueth vnto al nacyons in theyr owne tonges and lāguages And besydes that euery nacyon is ryche in hys owne language thys is also a syngular benifite that we haue hys worde purelye and vncorrupted in the greke tonge euen as the Apostles wrote it So that yf they translatours haue in any place sayled of the true meanynge We may by the firste copyes amende th● which thynge shal be so much the more acceptable vnto vs by howe muche more it doeth conduce vnto the reueilynge and openyng of the workes of darkenesse Let vs be occupyed in them therfore Not as the Pharisees we sistynge on their chayres do teache the thynges that they do not Not as men destituted of charitye as Angelles preachyng misteryes Not as men tournyng syluer into drosse most precyouse wyne in water that is to say mat xv chaungyng gods lawes into mens tradiciōs making merchaundyse of that which is godly which thynge the Antichristes do continually for it is not mere that the worde of god do obeye vs Exod. xxxij but that we do obeye it It was a great offence to make a caulfe of the Egyptians golde howe much more damnable were it for vs to make of the Lordes golde Idoles to be set vp in the temple of god what abhomynacyon is in them that auaunce theyr owne opinions in steade of christe mat vij Psalm cxxxvi Let vs be occupyed therfore but let vs not caste perles before swyne but let vs geue them to suche exchaungers as be godly couetouse that wyl render gaines boeth to them selues and vs to For there is nothing to let in thys matter There is no lack of money For looe we haue the Gospell we haue also the Epistles and besydes that we haue the talent not the crueltye of that Lorde that reapeth where he showed not Matth. xxv for looe we maye occupye thys at libertye Let vs not laye for oure excuse that we lacke cunninge or knowledge For yf the word of God be in our hertes we shall lacke neyther diligence nor wysedome Matth. xxv mar xiij Luc. xij and xix Let vs thynke that Christ hath not left vs money vnnumbred but numbred that is to saye a pounde of the which he wyl that nothynge be conueyed awaye nothynge altered or chaunged nor any thynge spent in idlenesse For he wyll requyre an accōpt and that onely were ynough to put awaye all slouthe if it were not all ready to far drouned in dulnesse For he sayeth vntyl I come that is to iudgement and suche kynde of iudgement that neyther the iudge shall be deceyued the sentence altered nor yet the gyltye And that more is he hath lefte the tyme vncertaine because we shoulde watche alwayes notwithstandyng that the tyme it selfe is but short wherfore he sayeth watche because ye knowe not in what houre the lord shal come Suche as be faythfull in a small matter he wyl make gouernours of a greate deale And such as he fyndeth vnfaythfull he wyll condemne to eternall tormentes What shall rychesse auayle then what shall honoure what shall greate frendshyppe auayl what shal any thyng auayle then Thē shall the chyldyshe eloquence the brutyshe and beastly sophistry the vncertayne wisedome of the worlde knowe theyr vanitye Luc. xix Let vs be occupied therfore Ier. vij and let vs walke whilse it is daye And as Hieremy
