IEWEL late Bishop of SARVM deliuered to that Church and people in the great care he had to do his Maisters seruice to keepe the people committed to his charge from incurring such offence to GOD or vndutifulnes to hir Maiestie or their own euerlasting damnation His meaning herein was good toward thē not doubt but they reapt the comfortable fruit of his godlie trauailes The like mayest thou gather to thy selfe by direction of the same his speeches thus drawn into short and compendious forme if thou wilt reade them with diligence and iudgement If thou learne to humble thy selfe before GOD and to seeke wisdome of hym if thou searche the scriptures and make them thy guides to leade thee through the desert and wide sea of this life as thou arte aduertised by the later thou shalt soone espie the daunger of all such practises towardes disloialtie aud rebellion whereto the BVL driueth thee which is disclosed in the former For it is not only sayde by the wise man The feare of the Lorde is the beginning of wisedome but also set down by the Prophet They haue reiected the word of the Lord and what wisedome is in them that is therefore men become foolish and do such things as are vnmeete because they care not for the word of God and therefore Dauid in his experience so confesseth that by the commaundemēts of God he was made wiser than his enimies and had more vnderstanding than al his teachers because the testimonies of the Lord were euer with him and he did meditate them If thou settle thy heart to like and do those things which please God if thou haue the loue of his word hee wil teache thee the way wherein thou shouldst walke in obedience to him and in dutie to hir Maiestie our dread Soueraigne his seruant I trust thou wilte take good instructions out of these twoo Treatises to thy duty and zeale to them both and be thankful to God for that learned Father who hath lefte a light vnto thee both in ex-example and by these and other his workes whose steppes if thou shalt follow thou shalt liue godly and die with comforte as a good seruaunt of thy mercifull GOD and Father The benefites of his great trauailes taken in time of his life are thine And vnto the ende he ceassed not to continue in the faith whiche he before professed For as I one of many yet liuing can testifie in the daye and night before his departure out of this worlde hee expounded the Lordes prayer and gaue short notes vpon the 71. Psalme to such as were by him He thought good to say somwhat at that time of his Bookes written by him and set forth in Print and also of his Preaching In both which seruices done by him to the glory of God and thy comfort he made protestation of his good conscience whiche euen then as he declared witnessed and shoulde witnesse with him before God that he dealt simply and plainely hauing God only before his eies and seeking the defence of the Ghospel of Christ and that the truth thereof might bee opened and maintayned And farther gaue thankes to God that made him his seruaunt in so greate a worke and then visited him by this messenger of death whiles he was doing the message of God in visiting his Dioecese that then hee called him to reste from his labours when his weake body was spent and worne out in setting forth the glory of God for which he many times prayed it woulde pleas● God to let him be offred in sacrifice Hee was at that time verye feruent in Prayer which he poured out before the Lord aboundantly and in great faith crying often Lorde let thy seruant now depart in peace Lord let thy seruant now come to thee I haue not so liued that I am ashamed to liue neither am I afrayd to die for we haue a gratious Lord. There is laide vppe for mee a crowne of righteousnesse Christ is my righteousnesse Thy will be done ô Lorde for mine is frayle With many other suche godlye speehes In the extremitie of his disease he shewed great pacience and when his voice fayled that hee lay speechelesse hee lifted vp his handes and eyes in witnesse of his consent to those prayers whiche were made Thus being vertuously occupied and wholly resting himselfe vpon the mercies of God through Ies●s Christ our sauior he rendred vp his soule to God the 23. of September 1571. Be thou thankful to God for giuing his Church so worthy an instrument of his glorie and bee carefull to follow the good doctrine which he left behinde him not only in this that commeth forth at this present but in all other his Bookes whiche haue beene set forth before or shall be put foorth hereafter to thy benefit and increase of godlinesse 27.
