to ouercome death to opē agayne the gates of lyfe Fynalbeholde how Chryst declareth hys lyfe in dyenge to stabylishe oure fayth that we shulde not doubte in the lyfe tocome no not in the myddes of death For Chryst hangynge on the crosse geuenge vp hys spryte vnto hys father testyfyenge with the bowenge downe of hys heade that he was euen dead he shewed yet some tokens of lyfe that were hyd in hym whan hys blessed syde was opened wherout cā runnynge water and bloude Wherfore doubt not in y e lyfe tocome for ye haue receaued a pledge of this lyfe by the loue of Chryst which is poured in you by the knoledge of God Chryst dyed and is crucifyed for oure weaknesse but he lyueth by the power of God We are also weake with hym and dye by reason of weaknesse but we shal lyue afterwarde with Chryst by y e same power of God Searche and proue yourselfe whether ye haue also thys hope fayth in the Lorde and in hys promises which shall geue you hys ryghtwesnesse for youre synnes and lyfe for death Lazarus Now as concernynge hell what shall I saye of it Yt is a commune saienge it we good dyenge yf man knewe where to become Thus must also come of a mysbeleuynge harte that we be thus abasshed for hell Tobyas Yt is sure so greate mysbeleue causeth vs to fear hell But knowe ye what is hell Hell is nothynge els saue feare and drede of death and a tremblinge against the iudgment and ryghtwysnesse of God The vngodly and damned can neuer escape thys death and hell for they haue no lust nor loue to God whom they beholde as a fearfull iudge and feare hys ryghtwysnesse He is sayde to be in hell that perceaueth wythin hymself how wycked and wreched he is wherby he is enfourmed and persuaded the fear of death and damnation So that the moost damnation and payne of hell is the despysynge and blasphemynge of God For so longe as we haue no lyuely wytnesse inwardly of the spryte of God that we be the chyldren of God so longe do we hate him and can not beholde his ryghtwysnes so doth oure haynous conscience of synne dryue vs. By these afore sayde wordes is it playne vnto you that the hell of the vnryghtwyse begynneth here in earth seynge the worme of theyr wicked consciencie dyeth not and the fyre of theyr wrath is not quenched Wherfore as the kyngdom of God is iustification peace rest and godly corage euen so is hel synne troubell and raygne In this hell was Caym whan he fled here earth no man persuynge hym In this hel also was Iudas y e traytour abode therin to his damnation Pether sayeth Act. ii that God hath raysed vp Chryst loosed the sorowes of death for so much as it was impossible that he shulde beholden of her that is Christ hath redemed vs and made vs sawe from all oure enmyes The deuell is a pussaunte Lorde and well weapened with all hys traynes erroures and fearfulnesses Math. xii But the sonne of God was a myghtyer Lorde which hath torne the powers of hell for all thynges were geuen hym in hys hande as Chryst sayeth Math. xxviii Vnto me is geuen all power in heauē in earth Yf al thinge be geuē vnto hym thā is also y e ouercōmynge of hell geuē him Christ descēded down to hel before hath troubled the kīgdō of y e deuel he hath also brought glad tydīges vnto thē y t were p̄soned ī hel The gates of hell cā not withstōd y e faith of Peter this was Paul sure of which caused hī to saye to y e Ro. viii I am sure the nother death nor lyfe nor angell nor rule nor power nor thynges present nor thynges tocome nor heyght nor depth nor ony other creature shal be able to seperate vs from the loue of God which is in Christ Iesu our lord Christ sayeth in y e boke of psalmes Lorde out of hell hast thou drawen my soule This redemynge delyuerynge of Christ is happened to oure profete For as Christ was a conquerer of al euē so shal we also be ouercomers winners through him for so much as we be in corporate in hym Before we were sundered but now are come neare by the bloude of Christ For he is become our peace he hath made vs cytesens with the sayntes of the housholde of God Seynge we are gathered in y e house of God we haue here altogether a kyngdō an heretage a victory and all saluation To this serueth the prayer of Christ which he made to the heauēly father Iohn xvii I praye not only for thē meanyng his apostles but also for them whiche shall beleue by theyr preachynge y t they all maye be one lyke vs thou father art in my and I in the that they also maye be one in vs. Thynke ye thys prayer is spoken for nought Thynke ye God the father hath not herde his beloued sonne in the houre of hys sufferynge A good father despyseth not the peticions of his chyldren Be of good cheare sayeth Christ I haue ouercome the worlde In Christ shal we conquere suenge that which is promysed vs in the prophet psal xc Thou shalt go vpon the lyon and adder the yonge lyon and draggō shalt thou treade vnder thy fete that is all power of the deuels and also hell Lazarus I trust I shall mynde and remēbre your exhortacions very well so farre as God doth not depriue me of my fyue wyttes Tobias Yf it come so farre that you be depryued of youre fyue wyttes by reason of the feruentnesse of youre siknesse be not moued therat Let God worke hys worke vntyl the ende Suffre God to accomplishe hys wil for he dyeth not euell that dyeth in God Yt is no force vnto the beleuynge wether he dye onwares or wares for they abyde the Lordes cōmynge alwaye which shal come sodenly vpon the mysbeleuynge as a thefe in the night How bitter is the remembraunce of death vnto him that hath ease and rest in hys substaunce and goodes Lazarus How happeneth it that it is comunely sayde lyfe is happy for so farre as I perceaue death is more happy Tobias The cōmune by worde is not to be vnderstonde of the bodely lyfe which we neuer can lede without synne but you must vnderstonde it of such a lyfe as we lede in God wherin we shall lyue for euer though we wandered in death Wherfore yf ye require a longe temporall lyfe of God than desyre you to synne longer to moue god to more wrath But that life which we lede in God by fayth wherby the ryghtwous lyueth that is happy Lazarus Now do I knowe nothyng in myne opynion that can kepe my back frō dyenge willīgly saue only my wyfe children which yet haue nede both of my helpe counsell Tobias Cōmitte your wyfe chyldren vnto the Lorde almyghty which hath geuē or lēt you vnto thē to care for
