other more abhorred the one more followed as commendable the other more eschewed as condemnable What praise hath the proud Pharisie by his memoriall in the Gospell His hypocrisie turneth his glorie into shame What renowme the riche glutton what fame the thriftles seruant what aduancement the vnrepentant théefe The Publicane was iustified poore Lazarus glorified the trustie seruant rewarded the sorowfull théefe receiued and all this appeareth manifest in the volume of the Bible as monuments which no age no time no season shal consume Doe you not remember that the holie Ghost speaketh of a couetous miser a wretch a worldling one that very buisily occupied his head about inlarging his barnes that his soule might be more merrie in the middest of his abundance not mindfull in the meane space of the shortnes of his iournie Beléeue me this is written no more to his commendation than the pretended innocencie of Pilate in condemning Christe is noted to his honour And now to riche men I must direct the summe of all my spéech for hauing to deale with the distribution of riches how can I omit such a néedefull common place It is a sore saieng of S. Iames which he vseth to the wealthie of the world Go to now ye rich men weepe and howle for your miseries that shall come vpon you Your riches are corrupt and your garments are moth-eaten Your gold siluer is cankred and the rust of them shal be a witnes against you and shall eate your flesh as it were fire c. The place is knowne They are bitter wordes of S. Paule touching the same matter that Such as wil be rich fall into tentation and snares into many foolish noisome lustes which drowne men in perdition and destruction For the desire of monie is the roote of all euill which while some lusted after they erred from the faith and pearced themselues through with many sorrowes But a sharpe sentence against such is that of our Sauiour Christ vttered not with a naked and bare pronuntiation but confirmed with an oth Verely I say vnto you that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen This is made more manifest by a comparison of impossibilitie in the wordes following It is easier for a camel or a cable rope to goe thorough the eie of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdome of God And therfore the good counsell of our Sauiour is to be taken in due and acceptable time To lay vp treasures for our selues in heauen where neither moth nor canker corrupteth and where theeues neither digge through nor steale And the example of the yong Gentleman mentioned in the Gospell being a rich heire and in possession of much land is no lesse to be marked who after he had béene instructed what to doe toward the attainement of eternall life was likewise exhorted if he would be perfect to sell all that he had to giue it to the poore But the hearing of this vnsauorie doctrine stoong him at the hart as loth to buy the ioies of heauen with the losse of his temporall treasures wherevpon he went away sorrowfull as vnwilling to make so harde a reckoning This is a thing not onely worthie rehersall but also remembrance and not only remembrance but also consideration And though they are but wordes yet they haue their weight they haue their trueth they haue their certeintie For heauen and earth shall passe but one worde of the Sonne of man shall not passe as our Sauiour testifieth of himselfe And therefore will rich men liue in Gods loue and die in his fauour Then let them be mercifull as their heauenly Father is mercifull Will rich men be at peace with God and his sonne Christ Then let them follow him who said that Except they forsake wife children kinred house landes and life they are not worthie to be his disciples Will riche men so die that they may liue in the Lorde Then let them be charitable and pitifull liberall and bountifull for the riches wherewith they are blessed though theirs in possession for the time of their life yet let them know that the Lorde will one day looke ouer his accounts call them to a reckoning God forbid that rich men should despaire of their saluation because they are rich Abraham was rich yet was he faithfull Lot rich yet righteous Tobie rich yet mercifull Iob rich yet innocent Zacheus rich yet bountifull And therefore as in former ages it hath pleased God with his blessings temporall to knit assured hope of life eternall in the hearts of his chosen so there is no cause of mistrust but that the Lord hath reserued vnto himselfe a remnant of rich men in these latter daies though daungerous whose light shining to the worlde and their good workes plentifully emploied to the benefite of the comfortlesse prouoketh euerie godly disposed person to glorifie our Father which is in Heauen A rare testimonie hereof may be séene in this famous Citie euen at this instant in a notable Gentleman whose good déedes bare witnes of his Christianitie in his life and shall continue the memorie of his charitie after death Of whome because it is a trauell purposely vndertaken I must speake that to his commendation which he deserueth And though I cannot applie my pen sufficiently to expresse his praise yet by the commemoration or recitall of his benefites euerie indifferent reader will soone gather what is due to such a singular Gentleman And first to touch the instrument of his aduancement learning I meane I will say no more than I haue laide before me in writing and maie boldely exemplifie that the knowledge vnderstanding wherewith the Lorde vouchsafed to replenish him remoued him from a mean estate to a worshipfull calling from the Countrie to the Court where being placed euen in the Chappell to serue his souereigne Lord King Henrie the eight of immortall memorie of whome he was well liked and béeloued he spent his time appointed in such séemelinesse as might be thought requisite for his degrée and person And remembring that learning bringeth preferment yea euen to them which are but basely borne as it pleased God to moue him by his good and gratious spirite he proued himselfe by testimonials of his doings a louer of learning and a fauourer of euerie honest profession For in the towne of Sutton Valens in Kent this worshipfull Gentleman at his owne costs and proper expences erected a Grammar schoole for the education of youth in the feare of God in good maners in knowledge and vnderstanding He also weieng with himselfe that The labourer ought of right to haue his hire And that No man goeth to warre of his owne proper charge besides other commodities which he thought méete necessarie hath allowed the Maister twentie pounds and the Vsher tenne pounds from time to time as either place shall be supplied by succession
