backe it becōmeth worse with them then it was before thy heard the Gospell as Christ sayth of the vncleane spirit Matth. 12 which taketh vnto himselfe seuen other spirits worse them himselfe with which he commeth and dwelleth in that man out of whom he before had gone and so the end of that man is worse then the beginning After the same maner commeth it to passe with vs and shal hereafter also be vsuall so also hath it fallen out with Rome In the time of the Martyrs she was in her best flower but afterward she fell and abhomination was there erected that Antichrist might reigne there yea she became such a one that worse she can not be The grace of God which is reuealed and preached by the Gospel was hiddē that men might not attaine vnto it wherefore it could not be but a great and grieuous scourge and plague should follow So we also shall trie that great vengeance will come vpō vs for that we do not beleeue nor obey the Gospell which we haue and know For as often as God would send an horrible scourge and plague he hath first set vp a great light As when he would send the Iewes out of their owne countrie into captiuitie in Babylon God vseth lenity before he executeth seueritie first warneth before he harmeth he first raised vp the godly King Hosia who should again restore the law that the people might amend their life but when they did againe reuolt God punished them according to their desert So when he mynded to destroy the Egyptians he made a light to be set vp and preached vnto them by Moses and Aaron Moreouer when he would drowne all the world by the flood he sent the Patriarch Noe but when men did not amende but became worse and worse such a sore and grieuous plague did follow Likewise the fiue cities Sodome and Gomorra togither with the rest were destroyed for that they would not heare Lot who feared God Wherefore as sharpe vengeance shall light vpon them also which heare the Gospell but do not receiue it euen as the seruaunt here in the Gospell is deliuered to the tormentours till he should pay all the dette which is as much in effect as that he is compelled to suffer punishment for his fault and is neuer saued For vnto synne is required death and when he dieth he dieth alwayes neither is there any helpe or deliuerance remaining Wherefore let vs receiue these thinges for our owne admonition as for them that will not heare being hardened and indurate let them beware of the euell that hangeth ouer them This is a verie comfortable text and sweete to troubled consciences inasmuch as it containeth in it meere forgeuenes of sinnes Againe it setteth forth terrible iudgement to the vnmercifull hard hearted especially seeing that this seruaunt is not an Heathen but had heard the Gospell in that he had faith inasmuch as the Lord tooke pittie on him and forgaue him his offences without doute he was a Christian Wherefore this is not the punishment of Gentiles nor of the common sort that heare not the Gospell but of them that with their eares heare the Gospell and with their toung talke of it but will not expresse it in their life We haue therefore the summe of this text Whereas the Scholemen dispute here whether synne commeth againe which was before remitted I let it passe for they are ignorant what remission of synnes is they thinke it is a thing that cleaueth to the hart and lyeth quietly when as notwithstanding it is plainly the kingdome of Christ which endureth for euer without ceassing For as the sunne neuertheles shineth although I shut myne eyes so this mercy seat or forgiuenes of synne standeth alwayes albeit I fall And as I againe behold the sunne when I open myne eyes so I againe haue forgiuenes of synnes if I ryse againe and returne vnto Christ Wherefore let no man bring forgiuenes into such a straite as these made mē dreame of A SERMON OF D. MARTIN LVTHER TEACHING THAT WE MVST CLEAVE WHOLY to Christ and looke to obtaine all good thinges through him Matth. 9. Verse 18. WHile Iesus spake vnto the people behold there came a certaine ruler and worshipped him saying My daughter is now deceased but come and lay thine hand on her and she shall liue 19. And Iesus arose and folowed him with his disciples 20. And behold a womā which was diseased with an issue of blood twelue yeares came behinde him and touched the hemme of his garment 21. For she said in her selfe if I may touch but his garment onely I shal be whole 22. Then Iesus turned him about and seeing her did say Daughter be of good comfort thy fayth hath made thee whole And the woman was made whole in that same moment 23. Now when Iesus came into the rulers house and saw the minstrels and the multitude making noyse 24. He sayd vnto them Get you hence for the mayde is not dead but sleepeth And they laughed hin to scorne 25. And when the multitude were put forth he went in and tooke her by the hand and the mayde arose 26. And this bruit went throughout all that land DEarely beloued ye know that the Gospell is nothing els but a treatise of the onely person whose name is Christ And albeit there be extant many bookes sundrie treatises cōcerning diuers men as well of the Gentiles as Christians yea and of the mother of God S. Peter the Angels and of many other Saincts besyde yet be they not Gospels but that onely is the syncere Gospell which setteth forth Christ vnto vs and what good we must hope for frō him Sometime in the Gospell there is mention made of Iohn the Baptist Marie and the Apostles howbeit this is not properly the Gospell but therefore is it written of them that it might be more perfectly declared frō whēce Christ should come and what is his office So Luke describeth the historie of Iohn the Baptist euen from the beginning what was done both in his conception and in his natiuitie he writeth also of the virgine Marie All which thinges were committed to writing not because of their person but because of Christes person onely In the Epistles of S. Paule there is nothing committed to memorie of the Saincts but all thinges sound plainly of Christ For God hath so ordained that all men must depend on that one man Christ must hope in him All that will be saued must depend on Christ put their hope and trust in him must repose their trust in him if they desire to be saued for he alone is set forth of God to be a reconciliation for vs as Paule sayth Rom. 3. Hitherto one hath cleaued to this sainct an other to that one chose to himselfe S. Marie an other S. Barbarie and diuers sectes and sortes of religion did flourish But Christ was in no price for his name onely remained We had many intercessours all
