god that we haue hard that we haue seene with our eyes Luc. 1. as they haue delyuered vs whiche from the begynnyng haue seene it with theyr eies 2. Pet. 1. But those thinges which we haue sene with our eies Al scripture heuēly inspired 2. Tim. 3. 2. Pet. 1. The prophecie in old tyme was not giuen by the wyl of man but the holy men of god spake dryuen with the holy gost Ephe. 5. As it is nowe reueled to his holy apostelles and prophetes by spirite Matt. 22. So Christ cōfirmeth Dauides wrytynges Howe doth Dauid thē in spirite call him lorde Certaynely I am fully perswaded and doute nothinge at al that the holy scriptures are inspired from heauen 22 If the temptator saye thou haste not kepte the lawe of god wherfore thou arte accursed SAy thou Christ whiche was made a curse for vs Galath 3. hath redemed vs from the curse of the lawe Agayn Ephe. 2. Euacuatyng and taking awey the lawe of commaundmentes set in decrees Colo. 2. Takynge away the handewrytynge agaynste vs which is in decrees and is contrary to vs. Roma 6. For ye are not vnder the lawe but vnder fauour delyuered from synne For the deathe of Christ hath delyuered vs from the lawe For truely by Christes deth we are now in conscience fre from the lawe that is from the wrothe of god and euerlastynge deathe For the lawe can not be fulfylled of nature for it is spirytuall as vndoubtedly the apostels decreed The yocke that neither c. Again Acto 15. Deuter. 5. Luc. 18. who can gyue them such a minde Whiche is impossible to men 23 If he say thou must forsake the worlde VVhat then Answere thou cōtrary wise I shal obteine heuen For blessed ar the dead Apoc. 14. 1. Ioh. 5. Ibidem which dye in the lorde Agayne All the world lieth in wickednes Agayn All thyng whiche is borne of god ouercometh the world and this is the victory which ouercometh the world our fayth Who is he whiche ouercometh the worlde but he that beleueth that Iesus is the sonne of god I am sure therfore in Christe All the worlde shall peryshe with his lustes and desyres Agayne 1. Ioan. 3. Loue not the worlde nother those thynges whiche are in the world We ar strangers in this worlde and citizens of heauen Ye sonnes of men howe longe are ye harde harted Psal 4. Why loue ye vanyties and seke lyes Agayne Howe lōg loue you infancy or childhode and foles desire those thinges whiche are hurtfull Agayne Vanitie of all vanities Eccles 1. and all thynges ar vanitie 1. Ioh. 2. The cause is this for all thynges whiche are in the worlde as luste of the fleshe concupiscēce of the eyes and pryde of lyfe are not of the father but of the world and the world passeth and his lust also but he that dothe the wyll of god taryeth for euer The ende ❧ THE PREPARATION TO DEATHE AND howe they which be in point of deathe shulde be comforted the .ii. boke ¶ What is deathe Cap. i. DEATHE IS NOthinge els but a separation or diuision of the soule frō the bodye It is a quiet rest from the afflyctions and troubles of this worlde in the whiche they that be deade be so refreshed and newely made that from thense they shall ryse far aboue all other most happye not into a lyfe which shall dye ageyne as it is in a slepe but into an euerlastynge life ¶ What is the cause of deathe Cap. ii THE CAVSE of deathe is synne For out of synne deth flowed and is the punishement or peyne or rewarde of synne or the reuengeaunce of yll thynges as the holy scripture beareth witnes Fyre Eccle. 39. hayle hunger and deathe be created for punishement as witnesseth the psalme For anger and dethe be in his indignation Psal 29. and lyfe in his wyl Roma 6. Hiere 3. The wages or rewarde of synne is death In what daye so euer thou shalte eate of it that is thou shalte synne therof thou shalt dye God dyd not make deathe Sap. 1. nor doth not reioyce in the destruction of the lyuynge Also Throughe the malyce and enuy of the dyuell Sap. 2. death hath entred And Paule saythe Rom. 5. By one man synne entred into the world and through synne deathe Ezech. 33 And in Ezech. I wil not the deathe of a synner but rather that he conuerte and tourne from his synne and liue Also The soule whiche shall synne shal dye Therfore where deathe is there necessaryly synne dydde go before whiche dwelleth in vs whiche we haue by inheritaunce whiche is spronge forthe into vs all of the whiche synne the fyrst father to vs was Adam from whom we haue by inherytaunce origynall synne whiche is a naturall dysposytion and inclination to synne whiche hath with hym in felowship blindnesse of harte dulnesse towardes vertue the loue of hym selfe the hatred of god fleynge frome the crosse hatred of the lawe and disdaynynge of his neyghbour For by Adams disobedience our fleshe is become disobediente to god soo long as it is not enspyred with the holy gost and for the sayde synne of Adam al we be called synners And so in hym we be all deade for we be his flesshe and his chyldren of his owne substaunce He is the grayne and sede of whom all we be spronge out As he is deade so shall we dye and frome Adam is spronge into vs bothe orygynall synne and deathe the peyne of synne is come forthe And the tyranny of the dyuell to whom our nature is subiecte and in whome the dyuell vseth crueltie and doth exercise it with feare and all kyndes of myserye and also doth kyl And moreouer enforceth to al maner of vnhappines to blasphemy murther and hatred ¶ Two maner of deathes Cap. ii THE ONE is of the body or of nature to whome all men be subiecte for al haue sinned and haue broken the lawe of god that is when this bodyely lyfe is broken aweye when we gyue vp the goost and do not occupie this mortall lyfe As it is wrytten to the Hebrewes Hebre. 9. It is ordeyned and decreed that all men shall dye ones and after that iudgement By Adams synne nature is subiecte of necessitie to dye as Iesus Sirach wryteth Eccle. 40. There is a heuy yocke vppon the chyldren of Adam frome the daye of the commynge oute of theyr mothers wombe vntyll the daye of theyr burial into the mother of all The other deathe is of the soule or of fayth or of helth When the vnbeleuers drowned in theyr wyckednes not carynge for god nor desyrynge god nor askyng forgyuenes of god be made bondemen to eternall darkenesse which is called euerlastyng death Whiche is a perpetuall feare of conscience throughe the wrothe of god Sap. 5. whiche Satan doth encrece Exaumple of these two maner of deathes is the riche gloton

and sette Also many dye by tempestes or hayle And yet do not thou condemne as wycked suche as be smytten with lightning For the iugemētes of god be rare and vnknowen in priuate personnes whiche for as moche as perteineth to hym careth not whether oone dye of this deathe or that Many tymes innocentes and baabis do dye But thou wylt saye that many dye wylfullye throughe theyr own rashenes the whiche myght haue lyued lenger Somme haue cast away them selfes hedlong c. Coulde they not haue preserued theyr lyfe I aunswere noo God gaue that houre that meane and that kynde of deathe which thing experyence dothe teache Some deadely wounded are lyghtly healed and do lyue Some other are scarselye hurte and yet they die Some Astronomers ascrybe this to the sterres and some to fortune but holy scripture attributeth it to god with whom the tyme both of our lyfe and deathe is lymytted who also careth not whether thou dye of a great or smal wound that he maye confounde all wysedome and mannes imagination Soo that it is a thynge most like madnesse vayne and frustrate to be afrayde or curiouse of any maner of deathe For there is noo cause why it shuld make any man aferd For other the appoynted tyme of deathe is not yet come or elles if it be come he ouer whom it hāgeth wolde nat prefer any pleasure before deathe For death as I haue sayde hathe his apoynted tyme lyke as Christ sayth Luce. 21. The heares of your heade doo not fall If che heares of your heade doo not fall without the apointed wyl of god by what meane maye the hole body dye without the fire wyl of god So great is the care of god ouer the godly whose lyfe death yeres dayes houres and mynutes of houres he hath in his hand which can not die but at the houre apointed of god ¶ Notwithstandyng the vngodly shall not liue out halfe theyr dayes Cap. viii AS holy scripture witnesseth in all places In the psalm The deceytefull shall not liue out halfe theyr days Also Iob Psal 54. Iob. 16. In the tyme whiche is not his he shall make an ende And The feare of the lorde prolongeth the lyfe the yeres of the wycked be short For the godly be euer redy watchyng whē the lorde shall come whether it be in the first watche or in the fourth they in the meane tyme folowe theyr callynge as long as the lord wyll nothynge determyninge for them selfe nothynge carynge for theyr lyfe whether it shall ende on the morowe or .x. yeres after for they haue lyued all theyr tyme althoughe they dye yonge Sap. 4. As the wyse manne saythe Thoughe the rightuouse be ouertakē with deth yet shall he be in rest The vngodly do appoynte vnto them selues longe tyme as he whiche sayde in Luke Luce. 12. My soule thou hast moch goodes layde vp in store for many yeres They do so and lyue so as they shuld liue a long season but in the myddel of theyr lyfe beyng voyde of faythe they be taken awaye in the daye whiche they dyd not loke for and the houre whiche they dyd not knowe Matt. 25. So the foolyshe virgins beinge vnredye in the myddell of theyr dayes were called away So for the most part alwayes the iudgemente of god dothe catche the vngodly carelesse negligent and not watching So in Daniel Daniel 5. Balthasar the kīg was slayne in the nyght of his ennemies Also in the gospell The tumultuous seruauntes the Sodomytes and they whiche were in the tyme of the flodde the vngodly deathe dothe alwaye fynde vnredy but all the godly tary vntyll theyr full tyme that is they be euer redy ¶ The godly also in the tyme of hunger pestilence and warre be punyshed and dye with the wycked Cap. ix IT IS trewe that the godly be punysshed with the vngodlye where the wrothe of god is consūmate For the iudgemente of god when he is angrye is gyuen vpon all bothe good and bad but the godly conceyue a hope of felycitie and fauor Psal 76. He shall not withdraw his mercye for euer And soo they that be punished suffer iugement and at the laste shall opteyne mercy For the godly do knowe that god dothe punishe sinners which doo repente in this lyfe as he punished Dauid that he myght humble them enstructe theym in lernynge and make them more ware and circumspecte And althoughe they dye in the tyme of hunger pestilence or warre with the wicked yet they knowe it to be done by the good wyll of god And bycause they know that they ones shal die Therfore they offer them selues to the good wyll of god which dothe al thinges after the councel of his wyll Ephe. 1. And they knowe that they haue a tyme apoynted to dye and they desyre to be dyssoluyd in the tyme of dienge appoynted by god and to be with Christ Otherwise Nother pestylence hunger nor warre can hurte the godly except the appoynted tyme of deathe ordeyned of god be present For god can well delyuer his as he dyd in tymes paste delyuer Lothe Noe Daniel Ieremy and other as Iacob being caryed with his children in to Egipte And lyke wyse the Israelytes in Egipt 2. Pet. 2. For these coulde not dye but in theyr houre So al the feythful can not dye although they be in the greattest peryll and in extreme desperation but in theyr houre Then wherfore shall they feare deathe They can not lyue lenger then the lorde hath appoynted nor die any soner ¶ To whom they that dye oughte to commytte theyr spirite Cap. x. STEVEN dydde yelde vp his spirite into the hādes of Christ For it is he that hath ouercome deathe Acto 7. in death he doth quicken vs. This is he which sayd Matt. 12. Come vnto me al you that labour and be burdened and I wyl refreshe you And farther this is he whiche oughte to be called vpon that he delyuer vs in afflyction and receyue our spiryte in the houre of deathe Luc. 23. So dyd Chryste Father I commende my spiryte in to thy handes Psal 30. So Dauid Lord I commende my spirite into thy handes There it shall be suer vnder the shadowe of thy winges thou shalt kepe it vnhurte and that whiche is taken away thou shalte restore Let the spirite retourne to the lord whiche dyd gyue it Eccle. 12. Also Christ to the thefe Luc. 23. This daye thou shalte be with me in Paradise This Paradise is a true and perfyte quietnes in Christ amiable ioyful and moste swete And so Lazarus rested in the bosome of Abraham to whom Lazarus soule was caryed by angelles that is he is conteyned in the handes of our god and of the lorde Iesu Christe and leadeth the moste pleasante lyfe For the bosome of Abraham is the promise made to Abraham of the sede whiche is Christe in whom all the godly from Abraham vnto Christ were kepte and

thou exalted me Psal 119. To the lord haue I cried in my trouble and he hath graciousey harde me Esai 66. He beholdeth the lowly and broken in spirite and suche as feare his worde Partes of trewe prayer are the promyse faythe the affecte to desyre in the name of Chryste and thankes gyuynge ¶ The promyse of god ¶ VVHAT so euer ye aske the father in my name Ioh. 14. he shall gyue it you Psal 49. Crye on me in the day of thy trybulation and I wyll delyuer the and thou shalte gloryfie me He shall gyue good thynges to them that aske hym Matth. 11. Marc. 11. I saye vnto you what so euer thynges ye aske in your prayer beleue that ye shal receyue and they shal happen vnto you Aske and it shall be giuen you Matt. 18. If that two of you agree of any thynge vpon the erthe what so euer thynge they shall requyre it shal be giuen them of my father which is in heuen Hiere 33. Call to me and I wyll gracyousely here the. In prayer goddes promyse muste be consydered howe god hath promysed that he wyll here vs. For he whiche hath commaunded to praye hath promysed that he wyl bothe here vs and helpe vs. ¶ Faythe Ia. 1. 1. Ioh. 5. ¶ VVE muste praye with a confidence doubtyng nothynge This is the confidence whiche we haue towarde hym that what soo euer we desyre accordynge to his wyll he hereth vs. A prayer withoute fayth obteyneth nothinge at goddes hand We must therfore pray in faythe And if we aske in fayth he hereth vs. Fayth is assuredlye to beleue that god forgyueth vs our synnes for Christes sake and not only forgiueth our sinnes but also is present with vs ruleth and gouerneth vs that he maye make vs safe In this faythe if we aske any thynge god dothe graciousely here vs. For god wyll gyue all thinges to thē that beleue in him ¶ To aske in the name of Iesu ¶ IS to haue a respect to the glory and wyll of god that the name of god maye be glorifyed For the ende of euery prayer is the glory of god To aske therfore in the name of Iesu is to aske and desyre the glory of Chryste and the spredynge abrode of his name ¶ The affecte to desire any thinge ¶ THE lordes prayer teacheth playnely what thynge we shulde praye for More ouer fayth hope loue pacience We must also pray that we be not tempted for prayer onely obteyneth the victory of all temptations Also for publike and common necessities for offycers for peace ¶ Thankes gyuyng Psal 49. Psal 115. ¶ OFFER TO god prayse To the shal I sacrifice the host or oblation of prayse and I shall calle on the name of the lorde Psal 33. I wyll blesse the lorde at all tymes his prayse shal euer be in my mouthe None turned agayne Luc. 11. to gyue glory to god but the straunger The faythfull gyue thankes that they ar delyuered of theyr trouble they magnifie god and preache forth his gyuynge of benefy●●es but god oftentymes deferreth to here to exercise the faythe of the godly as it apereth in Syrophenisse also Luc. 18. and yet stynte not they to praye Luc. 18. nor mystruste god althoughe they obteyne not streight wayes that whiche they aske and desyre but continue styll in prayer For continuance in praier hath the rewarde Daniel 9. He continued in praier he praied the hole day through euen to euentyde and was visited of Gabriell We must prescrybe or appoynte no tyme to god Iudith 9. He that continueth knockynge to hym it shall be opened God gaue not to Abraham streyghte wayes that which he promised Therfore must we saye If thou wylte lorde Marc. 1. Iob. 13. thy wyll be fulfylled Althoughe he shall kyll me yet shall I truste in hym ¶ We oughte to be pacient in affliction not to be angry nor to speake yuell of god Cap. viii PACIENCE is to feele and consider that god doth scorge vs to call vs to repentaunce and therfore gladly to suffer the hand of god and to haue a confidence that god wyl forgiue vs and that he wyll delyuer vs. Of this pacience to godward spryngeth forth pacience towarde men For when the harte is at peace with god it tarieth helpe of hym and vtterly setteth aside lust to auenge Thus pacience can neuer be but when by fayth we are assured that we please god and that at lengthe it shall come to passe that we shal be saued Christen pacience therfore is the comfort and ioye of the hart in afflyctions to whome there is annexed hope For faythe presently receiueth reconciliation and forgyuenes of synne a promyse of the ende Hope taryeth and loketh for the ende to come as sayth Esai In silence and hope shall be your strengthe Esai 20. For Hope hath his eye to the wyll of god and knoweth that god hath care on hym And it shall come to passe that god wyll gouerne the endes accordynge to his promyse althoughe there appere no helpe at all in any creatures as it is spokē of Abraham Agaynste all hope he beleued in hope that is althoughe in the hole compasse of nature there be no hope at al yet beholdynge the worde of god felte inwardly that that whiche god hadde promysed shoulde come to passe Who as saythe Paule calleth those thinges whiche are not as thoughe they were Therfore the mynd is quiete in christen pacience For it consydereth that afflyctions are not yll nor are layed on vs of god to our destruction For he is well assured that he is temted through the good wyll of god and exercysed to repentaunce for his helthe And for as moche as the mynd is fyxed towarde this wyl of god he is not angrye with god For he knoweth howe this calamitie or trouble commeth not by chaunce or fortune without a cause but rather reioyseth in affliction that is it that Esai speaketh In silence and hope shall be your strengthe that is be ye not angry in god or with god Psal 5. Be ye angry but synne not that is Be ye not angry with god bicause he suffereth you to be punyshed and doth not by and by helpe you be ye not for that moued to exercyse vengaunce or to forsake god but speake closely within your hartes that is consider the word and accordyng therunto suffer affliction Suche pacience is stedfaste and sure yea euen when al mannes comfort and councell forsake vs. whiche thing holye scripture euidently proueth euery where for he wyl not be forgetfull of the poore continually The paciēce of the poore shall not peryshe at length Tary the lorde Psal 26. do manfully comforte thy harte and suffer the lord Esai 30.
