A Sermon preached the thyrd Sondaye in Lente before the Kynges Maiestie and his honorable Counsell by Thomas Leauer â˜ž Anno Domini M. ccccc.l In nomine Iesu Christi GOD be mercyfull vnto vs For the tyme is euen nowe comynge when as God muste needes eyther of his mercy here in Englande worcke suche a wonderfull miracle vnto our conforte as farre passeth mans expectacion or els of his righteousnes take such vengeaunce of this land to the example of all other landes as shal be to our vtter distruccioÌ„ Ye know that immediatly after the preachynge of Noe came the great floud that drouned y e world After the warnyng of Loth came fyre brimstone vpon the Sodomites and Gomorrians When Moises had declared Gods thretngynes in Egipt kynge Pharao and his people were plaged vpon the lande drouned in the red sea Suche plages came euer wher gods worde truly preached is not beleued receaued and folowed But it the preachyng of Ionas the Niniuites repented wonderfully When the boke of the lawe was reade vnto Iosias the kinge he with all his people spedely repentynge found exceadyng mercy blessynge and grace as lykewyse all other shalbe sure to find which heare the worde of god kepe it For when Christ and his Apostles had preached the gospell vnto the Iewes those that beleued were delyuered frome the curse of the law vnto the blessing of grace out of worldly miserye to be inheritours of the heuenly kingdome and those that did not beleue were cast from god oppressed of men ouercome spoyled murthered and destroyed of their enemies Wherefore Englande whyche at his presente tyme by reason of the worde of god set fourth reade preached and comuned dothe in euery place heare y e couÌ„cel of Noe the warning of Loth the lawe of Maises the threatnings of y e Prophetes and the grace of the gospel as it was declared and taught by Christ and his Apostles This Englande muste nedes either by beleuynge of these thyngs obteine of god wonderful grace of ameÌ„dmente or els by neglectinge them prouoke the vengeance of god as a dewe plage and punyshment Take heede therfore England for if thou by vnbelefe let stop god from workynge of miracles to thy comforte then surely doest thou prouoke god to powre doun vengeaunce vpon the to thy vtter distruccyon But if thou doo regarde receaue and beleue goddes worde he wyll worke wonderfull miracles to thy conforte wealthe and prosperitie Yea let euerye man of what estate or degree soeuer he be grope his owne conscience for if he dooe not there fele that the worde of God dothe take place to moue him to repentaunce and amendment of lyfe then shall he be sure sone to haue experience that the vengeaunce of God by a shameful shorte ende of his wretched lyfe wyll bring him vnto an euerlastynge dampnable deathe For all those that wyll not crepe vnder the merciful wings of god as the chikinnes of Christ shal be caught deuoured of puttockes haukes and kytes as a praye for the deuyll The wynges of God be stretched abrode here in Englande by the kinges gracious maiestye and hys honorable counsel or mighty power with ready wyll to shadowe defende and saue all those that with reuereÌ„t loue come huÌ„bly crepinge vnder their ordynauÌ„ce rule gouernaÌ„ce which is y e power y e wings the honor of god The filthye gredy puttockes wylde haukes and rauenyng kytes be supersticious papistes carnall gospellers and sedicyous rebelles whych as ye haue seene by late experience haue most cruelly caught spoyled and deuoured the lambes the chekynnes the chyldren of God redemed boughte with Christes bloude Wherefore as Christ in his owne person dyd once lamente and bewayle Ierusalem so doeth he nowe many tymes in the persons of his propheticall Preachers lament bewayl Englande saying O Englande howe ofte wold I haue gathered thy chyldren as a hen gathereth her chikens vnder her wynges thou wouldest not Euen wyth the same affeccion that the shepeherde cryeth seeyng the wolfe leryng towardes the shepe with the same affeccioÌ„ that the hen clocketh and calleth spyeng the kyte houeryng ouer her chekyns wyth the same affeccion it behoueth the minister and preacher of god seeynge vntollerable vengeance hangynge ouer Englande to crye to cal and to geue warnyng vnto the people saying as is writeÌ„ in y e first of Esay If ye willingly wil heare obey ye shal eate the good confortable frutes of y e earth but if ye wyl not prouoke me vnto anger the sword shal deuour you Quia os Domini locutum est For it is y e mouth of the lord that hath spoken Now your reuerende maiesty most gracyous kyng and you honourable wyse godly counsellers you are the chiefe shepeherds you are the most reuerende fathers in Christe hauynge the wynges of power and authoritye to shadow saue keepe these lambes of god these chekens of Christe and these chyldreÌ„ of the heauenly father redemed wyth Christes bloude and coÌ„mitted vnto your handes to be saued kepte and prouyded for God be praysed with thankful obedience and louynge reuerence dewe to your gracious maiesty honorable counsell whyche haue surely wysely prouyded for dylygently kept and charitably saued this realme by driuing awaye the wylde foxe of papisticall supersticion and by castynge out the vncleane spirit of ignorauÌ„ce to gods glorye your honor our conforte But alas most gracious Kyng and godly gouernors for the tender mercyes of god in oure Sauiour Iesu Christ take good and diligent heed when ye be â–ª chasyng the wylde fox of papisticall supersticion that the gredye wolfe of couetous ambicion do not creepe in at your backes For surely he wyll doo more harme in a weeke then the foxe did in a yere Take hede y t the vncleane spirit of ignoraÌ„ce returning with vii other worse then hym selfe find no place vnwarded wher he may crepe in againe For if he returning w t his felowes enter in agayne then wil he make the ende of this generacion to be worse then the beginnynge Then shall you leese the rewarde of your former dilygence and be damned for your later negligence Then shal the welspring of mercy which of long tyme hath watered this Realm with the grace of god be closed vp and the blody flouds of vengeance gushing out froÌ„ the wrath indignacion of God ouer flow al togither TheÌ„ wil not god by workinge of miracles declare mercy but by takynge of vengeaunce execute rightousnes But God beyng as mercyfull yet as euer he was if you contynewe as faythful wise and dylygente as ye haue bene to handle the wolfe as you haue done the foxe to keepe out the denyll as to cast out the deuyll then shall the people of this laÌ„de feede in quyetnes w tout feare of euyl then shall you continuyng to thende be sure of an hunderdfold reward in thys lyfe and afterwardes euerlasting lyfe iaye and glorye Then shall God do wonderfull myracles

some be true Prophetes and sheppeheardes in dede and some haue shepe skynnes and be raueninge wolues in dede The one taketh paynes in doyng of hys dutye and the other seketh gaynes in professyng of hys duty Take heede of those for they are erraunt theeues Alas if all those whiche take the names and professyons of offycers for desyre of luker and honor and do not execute the dutyes belonginge to theyr offyces wyth painful diligence be errant theues as they be in deede then is ther mani a strong erraunt theefe amongst theÌ„ y t be called honest worshipful and honorable men For they haue the names the authorytyes vauntages of those offyces gyuen payed vnto them the dutyes of the whyche be verye slenderly or nothyng at al executed amongest the people If I were in anye other place in al England I could and wold vse another trade of preachynge afore another audience but beinge called of God by your appoyntement vnto this place at this tyme my conscience doth compell me to vse this trade and no other afore this solemne audience Wherfore with dreede and feare of God with charitable pyty of the people with moste reuerend loue and homage vnto your honors I muste needes cry wyth the Prophete Esaye Principes Sodome populus Gomorre â§ Heare the woorde of the Lorde ye Prynces of Sodome ye people of Gomorra Quo mihi multitudo uictinarum uestrarum What care I for the great number of
