B. WHeÌ„ the time of trouble draweth nere good Frances Barlowe as death whiche shall separate the soule from the body if we be not ware and wisely prouident we shal stand in great dauÌ„ger of losses first we shall lose our health strength and beautie wherein we haue delighted and all our censes as pleasure of spâ—che ioye of harte and the coÌ„fortable sight of the eies wherwith we do daily behold all the pleasures of this world c. we shall lose all our furder treasures laudes and substaunce and also our liues and as dung be cast into the earth and finally our soules banished from Gods blessed presence or resting place Therefore let vs call my Fraunces to our remembraÌ„ce the fearfull curses of almighty God agaiÌ„st our sinnes and the cause of our plagues whiche is our abominable liuing in sinning against God in thought worde and dede against heauen and earthe in pride wrath idolatrie fornicatioÌ„ swearing lust gluttonie stopping of our eares against grace and the woorde of truthe let vs call to remembraunce how that we haue doen wrong to eche other in woorde deede in flauÌ„dring or in hindring by bargainiÌ„g c. Our brethren for whom Christ hath died whom we haue hated not pitied in their extreme sorowes and aduersities haue not paied their labours and trauels let vs repent and call for grace and restore now while we are in the waie of grace in that that we can not make satisfaction for oure sinnes by no merites of almes praiers oblations c. whiche are vncleane in Gods eine as coÌ„cerning the remission of our sinnes as Iob saieth how can he be clene that is borne of a woman beholde he wil giue no light vnto the Moone and the starres ar vnclene in his sight how muche more maÌ„ a worme euen the sonne of a man whiche is but a worme which in beholding of his sinne hath no cause but to dispaire and to be daÌ„pned what remedy in this case none but with al spede by faith lift vp your hed and beholde euen Iesus Christe on Gods right hande pleading our case excusing vs to his father whiche praieth to him for vs and is heard and SathaÌ„ beten doune and Gods Aungels set at our bedside with spirituall armour for vs in this battell of death against Sathan to conducte vs to that happie landerlet vs knele doune and firste saie whatsoeuer God doth sende to vs life or death his name be praysed his will bee done in earth as it is with his Aungels in heauen desiring him to be fed with his liuely worde and blessed sacrament the immortal fode for the soule passing al worldly treasures or phisick for the body that it would please him to pardon our trespasses and offences in thought worde and dede against his diuine maiestie euen as we doe forgeue our enemies soche faultes as they do here in earth against vs and that in the time of agonie or paines of death he suffer vs not to fall into temptation or bee ouerladen vnder our crosse but that his hande may helpe vs and deliuer vs froÌ„ this vile life full of miseries and bring vs into the lande of the liuing in doing this you shall be moste happie and blessed let vs submitt our selues to him that hath made vs we haue not made our selues we are his vessels and are in his sight can nat flée from his presence nor runne beyonde that rase whiche he hath appointed vs he bringeth death and restoreth again to life in the resurrection Oh be coÌ„tent to render thesame talent which was but lent vnto you euen your body the giftes of nature and grace commit wife children and all to him He doeth no wrong he taketh but his owne RemeÌ„ber he brought you in hether naked and how you doe liue but a smal time and ar ful of misery Like a flower for the time and shall passe away like a shadowe Alas we doe deserue great punishement but he plageth vs not according to the grauitée of our sinnes for then were we dampned or like vnto Sodome that perished without handes in the daye of Gods wrath and veÌ„geaunce Consider Fraunces that this is no newes or maruelous chaunce that you should change your life well it happened to al your forefathers from AdaÌ„ to kinges and all the nobles of the yearth and to the poore also Al fleshe is grasse and wormes are the companions to the corse in darke graue or house of claye Yet there is a daie whiche God hath appointed whiche none can tel but himself in whiche he wil iudge both the quick and dead and call all fleshe before him both his very elect and the merriles reprobates and then body and soule shall remayne immortall together haue life euerlasting This hold fast dere FrauÌ„ces as an anker in this storme from death to life euerlasting Holde fast the .xij. articles of the Christian faith praie to the end onely to God the father by Christ remember his promises that at what time soeuer a sinner doth repent he will forgeue Cal he will aunswere vnto thy soule knocke and he wil open This time of your aduersitee and plague of the pestileÌ„ce doth make you forget all pleasures and delites paste
