A06477	A dreame of the diuell and Diues most terrible and fearefull to the seruantes of Sathan, but right comfortable and acceptable to the children of God : plainely described by way of dialogue, verie necessarie to be read aduisedly, and heard attentiuelie, both of rulers and inferiours, rich, and poore, younge and olde, wise and simple, that wish rather to dwel in heauen, then in hell.	Lupton, Thomas.	1589 (1589)	STC 16947.5; ESTC S108956	49,122	110

to him for health and helpe or for the gifte of pacience therein their lying in the streete without houses might make them to looke vppe to heauen where they haue houses prepared for them and earnestly thanke God therefore and theyr pouerty mighte cause them to reioyce that they haue their ritches laide vp in heauen and so by this their patient pouertie if they repent their sinnes and beleeue that they shall be saued onely by the death and passion of Iesus Christ they are sure to possesse the endlesse kingdome of heauen and to auoide this most dolefull dungeon of hell where I am Therefore if I were on the earth againe as I cannot I would haue a poore estate to choose for riches procure pleasure and pleasure increaseth sinne and sinne bringeth Gods vengeance and Gods vengeance bringeth damnation and damnation bringeth hell Therefore they that are ritch vnlesse they bee plentifully endued with that feare and grace of GOD as many great and rich men haue beene are in such a daungerous estate as they little thinke off Then saide the diuell and many of the poore and beggerly sort considering their impatiencie spite enuie and malice are in a more daungerous case then they thinke of For their pouertie and paine maketh them impatient their want maketh them weepe their hunger maketh them houle and crie and their miserie maketh them mourne and so through this their worldly care I graunt manie of them doo cleane forget God and take not him for their father and doo not onely wish themselues out of the worlde but also doo ridde themselues out of the world by cutting their throates and hanging themselues and by diuers other meanes which is no small ioy vnto me For through this their wicked liuing and desperate deathes they are mine owne deere children and none can take them from mee when I haue them once in hell then saide Diues belike they thinke that all their cares pouertie miserie and trouble is ended when this their life is ended but that is not so but onely to the godlie and faithfull children of God for whosoeuer dieth impatiently impenitently vnfaithfully sinfully and desperately whether they be poore or rich though their earthly troubles miseries and calamities doo end yet then their euerlasting sorrowe care woe griefe and most extreame tormentes in hell doo beginne So that whereas they thinke by their death they goe from paine to ease they goe from a sweete short comfortable sorrowe to a most terrible and vnsufferable endlesse woe and tormentes Therefore they that be aliue on the earth may reioyce and be glad though they haue neuer so great pouertie trouble miserie or calamitie for that is but short and can last but a while but if they once come hether to hell where I am then their most intollerable paines shall neuer cease nor the fire that shall burne them can neuer bee quenched O that my torment and paines saide Diues might haue an ende or bee ended in time then I should thinke my selfe most happie O that I might bee in hell but so manie yeares as the greatest barne in a countrie woulde holde cornes of Wheate nay rather then faile mustard seedes for then at length though it woulde bee vnreasonable long first I shoulde come out and bee released but alwayes to bee burning in the fire of hell and neuer to come out what a thing is it and what a dolefull case am I in Ah woe is mee woe is mee that euer I was borne fie on all my earthly riches fie on my earthly prosperitie fie on all my earthly ioy and pleasure woe bee to the time that I was vnmercifull to poore Lazarus which hath brought me to this endlesse woe in the fierie flames of hell where my paines shall neuer cease and my torments neuer end These are the last wordes that mee thought Diues did speake And so I haue declared to you my whole dreame of the diuell and Diues Theo. The dolefullest dreame that euer I heard they that doo heare it as I haue heard it I hope will feare hel as I meane to feare it Eu. I thanke God which made mee to dreame it for euer since I detest all sinne and wickednesse and as for worldly riches pleasure honour possessions and promotions I doo not regarde but all my care is to please God and that I may end my life repentantly and faithfully and to trust onely to be saued through the merites of my sauiour Iesus Christ whereby I may attaine after this life to the ioyes of heauen where poore Lazarus and al other the children of God shall rest and raigne for euer Theo. I thanke you most heartily for telling me this your most straunge and true dreame I was wont to teach you but now you haue meruellously instructed me thinking verely thorow your telling me this your dreame that I shall despise this worlde the more and offend God the lesse and furthermore feare to come to that terrible place of hell where Diues and the reprobate shall be in most extreame tormentes for euer Eum.

pleade on their side But their Gold and their Siluer wherewith they were so fedde shall pleade truely against them whereby they shall iustly be condemned to my dungeon of hell there to remaine with me in vnquenchable fire for euer except they repent and amende and then may they not thinke that that was good Gold and sweete fees that hath brought them to such a place And these Iudges that will bee bribed or defende a false matter shall be sure at the last day to haue such a true and vpright Iudge that will not be bribed by any meanes and that will iudge them so vprightly against whome their owne oath shall rise and bee a witnesse that they shall be condemned to remaine with me in hell fire for euer and whereas they delay iudgement of true causes founde before them whereby the parties are deferred of their right or thereby for want of execution obtaine not their right yet Christ will bee such a Iudge at the last day that they shall haue their iudgement by and by without any deferring therof whereby presently they shall haue execution in the horrible flames of hel fire for euer and so they shall neither be kept from their due nor deferred of their right as they haue done to the poore on the earth Then saide Diues Ah woe be to these Fees and bribes that shall bring them to such a dolefull place where repentance wil not serue nor mercie can be had Therefore such wicked Lawiers were best to leaue taking of such Fees and to pleade in true causes yea and rather to helpe poore men in their true suites without Fees wherfore they shal haue richer Fees then any on the earth can giue them and such Iudges were best to leaue taking of bribes and not to defend or maintaine false causes and not to deferre iudgement to the hindering of iust execution or to auoyde thereby any from their right no not for feare or friendship of any bee they neuer so great vnlesse they be greater then God or can do more for them then Christ but to repent these their diuellish dealings whiles they are aliue on the earth least they come in this doleful dungeon of hel wherein I am where is nothing but crying yelling mourning and weeping gnawing and gnashing of teeth not for an houre or two not for a day nor a weeke no nor a moneth nor a yeare nor yet a thousand nor for ten thousand yeares but euen for euer euer world without end which to me damned wretch that I am is most dolefull and horrible because I am in endlesse torments without any mercie to be had but to them that are yet on earth that may auoide it by repentance a godly warning Theo. Oh these words doo pearce my heart if I were a Lawier these fearefull wordes that now I haue heard of you would make me fearefull in taking of fees either of the rich least I should pleade therefore in wrong causes or of the poorer sort that are wronged or oppressed least I shoulde not deserue my fees Yet there haue bin and are Lawiers as it is thought so greedy of gold and so carelesse howe they get it that will take a peece of golde or two to pleade their Cliants cause but when the time commeth they neither come to the barre neither speake one word in their Clients cause but are occupied in an other place for some other that belike hath giuen them greater fees Surely such Lawiers goe about to sell their soules to the diuell for gold But it may be that these Lawiers are so busie in an other of their Clients cause who receiued them first the matter being doubtfull and intricate that they cannot haue time to speake in their other Clients cause and so they wil giue their Client the gold again they had on him Eu. It may bee so but I can hardly beleeue it you shall take fewe Lawiers with that fault for many of them are so greedie of gold that they keepe all fast that they finger and it is hard to get that from theÌ„ that they haue receiued but if they should repay their gold to their Client yet the case might stand so that that were not enough for suppose that then were the very peremptorie day for the trying of his Clients cause and the partie through pouertie had no moe Lawiers to pleade his cause but he and so through his Lawiers absence the matter might goe against him then the poore man should vndoo himselfe with giuing of his owne golde And therefore it is not enough alwayes for the Lawiers to giue the fees hee hath receiued againe to his Client Theo. Then it is too much for a Lawier to receiue golde or double fees of two or three and neuer come to the Barre and speake neuer a word for any of them Eu. It is not too much for such Lawiers as meane to goe to the diuell for the more they take and the lesse they doo for it the better dooth the diuell like them and the more willingly into hell hee will receiue them and when they are once there they wil say that they are the deerest fees that euer they tooke But if the Lawiers would take but one fee on a day which were enough before God especially according as the fees are that some do take then they should bee sure to pleade for their Client and so they should not neede to wearie themselues and runne from Barre to Barre and from Court to court but thereby shoulde deserue their fees or do their worldly duty for their fees Many a poore man that labours ten times as much as they in a day yea and that with the sweate of their bodie and browes are well content with two grortes for their whole dayes worke whereas some greedy Lawiers though they haue two Roials for two houres pleading think they haue not sped very well yet if one of these poore labourers should take wages of two or three men to worke with them all in one and worke with none of them but one as iustly they cannot they that hee thus deceiued perhaps would cause him to bee set by the heeles although he might perhaps serue all their turnes well enough afterwardes but if one Lawier that hath great aboundance and is too rich do take fees of two or three seuerall persons in one morning more then hee is able to pleade for whereby their Clients may happily be vndone as is before said they may not be importunate on them to haue their fees againe nor yet may exclaime of them therefore for if they doo they may chance be cast in prison for their labour or for asking their owne But such Lawiers that robbeth thus their poore Clients as though it were by authoritie without repentance and Gods great mercie shall bee vtterly spoiled of the glorious kingdome of Heauen and shall be throwne into the euerlasting prison of hell where Diues is whose damnable

wrong yea and that wil not be long a doing For let a poore man and a ritch man go to Law together y e matter wil not be long a trying but wil be quickly ended because the one hath money at wil and the other hath little or non to fee or feede the Lawiers nor to pay the fees of the Courts but let two ritch cobes sue one another in the Law and let the case be like to the poore and ritch mans case it may chaunce be a dozen yeere or more are their matter bee tried and ended Thus it is plaine that money makes a good matter But this I wil say vnto these my deere children that opres the poore on the earth at the last and terrible day of iudgment wherat I quake euer when I thinke on it as they should doo if they were wise the poore and the rich shal stand al before the righteous Iudge Christ and there shal neede no money neither for the poore nor ritch and ther the poore if his matter bee right though he haue no money shal be quickly dispatcht and bee iudged to enter into the kingdome of heauen straight way and the rich if their matter bee wrong for all theyr oppression and wronge gotten goodes shall quickly be dispatcht and bee iudged to enter into hell there to remaine in fierye flames for euer And then they shall see what a gaine they haue got by spoiling opressing the poore or any other Then said Diues I know their gaine wil not bee greater a wo is me that I knew it so well But if I were now on the earth feeling that I feele if I had opprest any or with-holden their liuing from them wrongfully I would with all speede restore it vnto them againe yea and recompence them foure foulde for the wronge I had done vnto them yea and meekely aske them forgiuenesse on my knees being most glad that I were ridde of such a burthen as wold weigh me downe to hell Then saide the Diuell to him yea but many of my deere darlinges and children that now doo oppresse the widowes Fatherles and other freendlesse on the earth and these sonnes that spoile their owne louing mothers of their liuinges are farre from this minde that thou art of for if they perceiue that they that are oppressed by them will complain to the higher powers against them or els seeke some other meanes to obtayne their right they will finde one surmised matter or other against them and therby cast them into prison there they shal lye in great misery restrayned thereby also from their ordinary trade where by their wife and family shal liue in greate nececessitie Then said Diues how farre liue these men from the state of christianitie surely by this it appeareth that they are not afraide of hell But mee thinkes that these poore men or any other that are thus oppressed and wrongfully imprisoned should through letters and supplications to noble men or to such as are in authority haue their causes heard with speede and the cause of their imprisonment be boulted out and so they not onely to be releast out of prison and haue their right awarded vnto them but also that these their wicked oppressors y t haue thus wrongfully imprisoned them should be punished whosoeuer they were to y e example of other Nay said the diuell that may not be so the ritch may opresse whome they wil and almost doo what they will their giftes and money wil tel such a tale against the poore whome they opresse and prisonne that the poore mans complaint shal not bee hearde nor his supplication rede or at the least not waied nay hee shalbee made though he bee neuer so honest a trouble some and a naughty wicked fellow and so he shal not onely haue his right or liuing wrongfully withholden from him but also to mende vp the matter shal be shopt vp in prison and soo be kept from his liberty whereby he his wife and family shal liue in miserie and thereby vtterly impouerished but those my deere darlings and most loouing children that soo oppresse and imprisone the poore yee and they that are in authoritie to whome they complaine of their wronge and wil not see that they shal haue their iust cause heard but suffer them most vnchristianly thus to bee impouerished and wrongfully imprisoned when they come to hel my euerlasting kingdom I wil imbrace and cherish them for this their good seruice they haue done vnto me in most cruel and fierye torments which will be a little worse then the poore mans imprisonment for their earthly imprisonment doth last but a while but their imprisonment in hel shal last for euer And whereas they imprisoned their poore brother wrongfuly making him but to lose his earthly shorte liuing they shal bee sure I wil imprison them rightfully and truely and thereby they shal lose the euerlastinge Treasure and ioyes of the kingdome of heuen Then said Diues these goodes and liuings that they so get wil be derely bought when they come to hel and their wrongful troubling or imprisoning of the poore whose goods or liuing they with-hold will be then verie costly vnto them Therefore now if they be wise they wil restore and repent whyles they may for after their death they can not restore nor repent if they wold Theo Truely this talke that you thought you heard betweene Diurs and the Diuell is now most wickedly practysed on the earth by wicked ritch oppressours against the poore oppressed but they were beste leaue it and repent such their vyle wycked-practyses whiles they maye for if the Diuell catch them once into his prison of hell t they shal burne and bee tormented in fierye flames or euer For there is no raunesome can redeeme them no sureties can baile them nor no money nor lamentation can preuaile them But is there any more behinds of your dreame Eum. Yea that there is Diues said furthermore Oh that I were but on the earth aliue againe I would neither prowle for ritches nor wealth as I did neither would take care for any thing but onely for my soule for whosoeuer hath care to seeke for wâ—rldly goodes is altogether carelesse for seeking of heauenly treasures and whosoeuer hath that heauenly care of their soule God will haue an earthly care of their body Theo. Diues did say most truely herein and therefore it seemeth that these worldlings that take so much after riches neither care for heauen nor yet regarde the words of Christ whose counsell is the best of all other to be followed and these are his wordes concerning the same which are moste necessary heerein to be marked and followed Ye cannot serue both God and Mammon Therefore I say vnto you be not carefull for your life what yee shall eate or what ye shall drinke nor yet for your body what ye shall put on Is not the life more woorth then meate
