and shoteth beside the marke brustyng his head against this stony rocke of saint Paules wordes Rom. 11 Gala. 3. where he sayth If then righteousnes be of the woorkes of the lawe Christ is dead in vayne Of this fayth I say spryngeth loue Loue. which in this gospel Christ so earnestly coÌ„maundeth vnto vs. 1. Co. 13 But what doth this loue She forbeareth loÌ„g she is gentle she enuyeth not she is not froward she is not proude she is not ambicious she seeketh not her owne she is not angry she imagyneth not euil she reioyseth not vpoÌ„ iniquitee she ioyeth wholly in the truth c. 1 Tim. 1 Therfore sayth sainct Paule in an other place also The ende summe of the coÌ„maundement is loue that commeth of a pure heart and a good conscience and an vnfayned fayth Further forasmuch as Christ knoweth that there coÌ„sisteth a great wayghty matter in true loue that spryngeth of fayth therfore in this his last sermon he taught not many preceptes of good workes but only commaundeth this that they should loue one another As he would say If ye haue fayth and loue ye shal also right easely performe all other thynges what soeuer I haue commaunded you to do Secondarily The crosse from whence it commeth forasmuche as Christe had before shewed his disciples that the crosse shuld come vpoÌ„ theim and had before tolde theim that they should suffre muche aduersitee in this worlde nowe here Christ repeteth the same and also sheweth the cause wherfore If the worlde sayd he hate you knowe you that it hated me fyrst The worlde Christe here calleth all them the worlde that haue not receyued his worde haue not obayed the gospel nor knowen the father in him nor him in the father And breifely whosoeuer they be that want fayth acknowlege not the righteousnes of fayth seme thei neuer so vertuous righteous holy wyse in their owne eyes Christ calleth them all by this one name The worlde declareth them to be his enemyes After this sort doth sainct Ihon vse this worde saiyng Iohn 1 He was in the worlde and the worlde is made by him and the worlde knewe him not Then when Christ sayth If the worlde hate you knowe you that it fyrst hated me Wherwith he semeth to say Wondre not if the wyse and righteous in the worldes estimacion and also the mightie menne in this worlde do resyst you and persecute you for suerly there is no litle cause why they so will do The worlde holdeth and defendeth with to the and nayle the righteousnes of workes but your doctrine shall be cleane repugnant contrary for if ye will purely and sincerely preach my worde ye shall maintayne and defende the righteousnes of faith And if ye wyll do so earnestly as it shall be your duety nedes must ye cast of all that is in the worlde that is all carnall wisedome vertu righteousnes strength freewill as ye knowe that I haue doone How shall ye in so doyng be at vnity with them Ioh. 12. Now is the iudgement of this worlde And furthermore the holye ghoste shal be sente for the same purpose to rebuke the worlde as I haue done Now if for this gentle rebukinge the worlde shall hate you and take all thynges to the worste and imagyne all manner of myschiefe against you knowe you that euen so did the worlde by me If I had approued and alowed their workes as I dyd reproue disalow them I had hadde the high Priestes myne especiall good friendes with the Phariseis and all the Iewes but when I would needes do myne office truly and fully accomplyshe my duty needes must I lose all their frendeshippes and also for that cause suffre so many of their false accusacyons checkes and rebukes Nowe woulde you speede better than I There is also and other cause why the worlde can not loue you For you are not of this worlde If you were of this world the world woulde loue that whiche is his owne but bicause you are not of the world but I haue chosen you out of the worlde therfore the worlde hateth you You heare in this place that if the world hate you it ys an euident argument that you ar not of the world And euen so saith S Paule Gala. 1. Yf I shuld please men I shuld not be Christes seruant And a lyke testimony doth Christ giue his apostels that thei ar not of this world Why so For thei shal rebuke the world reproue and damn the carnal iustice of the world earnestly affirm preach the righteousnes of faith for they ar not of this world that is thei seek not a carnall iustice as the world dothe their confidence is not in their good workes as the worlds is but thei earnestly preach the merits of Christ as the only cause of our righteousnes saluacion Now bycause the world can not bere this ther is mortall warre and contynuall hatred betwene theym and the worlde euen as Christe saithe here agayne in this gospell But all these thinges shall they doo to you for my names sake bicause they knowe not him that hath sente me Fynallye Bycause the worlde knoweth not the father therfore knoweth it not the son And because it knoweth not the son neither knoweth it them whom the sonne hath sent Wherfore seing that the world neither knoweth the father nor the son nor yet the apostels whom the sonne hath sent needes must it then persecute hate and condemn both the truth and also those that preach it Thirdly Christ in this persecutioÌ„ Our coÌ„forte in aduersity is in the worde of God which surely is euer annexed to the gospel in this world coÌ„mandeth vs to take sure holde of his woorde as that only comfort whereby Christians in all tribulacions solace them selues Remembre saithe hee my woorde which I haue saide vnto you This text teacheth vs as it semeth that there shal be no nother comfort vpon yearth especially in persecucions except only that worde and doubtlesse it is euen so in dede For what consolacion may bee in that mannes heart which hath refused and put froÌ„ his sight the worde of God CoÌ„trarily what I pray you shal hynder or hurt him that taketh holde vpoÌ„ the worde and by fayth printeth it in his heart For he doubtles knoweth very well that he must nedes suffre pesecutions and tribulacions that is a very true tale but yet he knoweth also this that persecucion shall shortely haue an ende and at the tyme ordayned of God it shall be chaunged into perpetual ioy Rom. 8. as sainct Paule sayth Surely I thynke that the passions of this tyme are not worthy to bee iudged equal to the glory that shal be reueled among vs. Iho. 16 And of this speaketh Christ saiyng A woman when she trauaileth hath sorowe for her houre is come But when she hath brought furthe her manchylde she nowe remembreth not the pangues for ioy that

the priestes whose office and duetie was to iudge and discerne Lepre What do nowe these Lepres They do euen as Abraham did Gen. 12 whan God commaunded him to go out of his countrey and from his kynred and from his fathers house he asked not where hee should become but obayed vnto God and in his so goyng conceiued a sure coÌ„fidence that God would not lede him amysse And in likewyse do these ten Leepres They beleued that this woorde of Christ Go your wayes was not spoken in vayne but vndoubtedly would bring them their health as it did For thus sayth the text As they went it came to passe that they were clensed Who would not nowe hope I trust in the goodnes of Christ whiche healpeth so willyngly so louyngly so gladly so that for his benignitee familiaritee and mercy sake all the whole worlde is bound to hast vnto him to aske mercy But we alas The worlde is indurated are so vngratious indurate that no beneuolence or gratiousnes although it be neuer so great can moue vs to seeke Christ Wherfore it is sayd in a certaine place If you had fayth like a grayne of Mustardsede Luc. 17 Mat. 17 and should say vnto this Mulbery tree Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes and plant thy self in the sea it should obey you As though he would say In you shal be the fault and not in me If you can beleue my helpe shal alwayes be at hande But let euery Christian manne learne hereout howe he should behaue himselfe towarde Christe oure Lorde and so he nedeth not to care Thyrdly we see in this gospel the geuyng of thaÌ„kes of this Samaritane which when he perceiued himselfe to be cleane he returned againe and with a loude voyce magnifyed God geuyng him thankes for the great benefite done vnto him And againe wee see here the ingratitude and vnthankefulnes of the other nyne whiche fell from their fayth and gaue no thankes to Christ for the great benefite done vnto them Wherout we learne Mat. 20 that there be many called to the fayth but fewe which perseuer therin vnto the ende It is a meruailous thynge and wonderfull to say that these ten menne had fayth and therby obtayned helth and yet was there but one of them that perseuered therein and was saued Who would not nowe feare him selfe and stande in dreade to see these nyne Iewes that first beleued Mat. 10 and. 14. and so shamefully fell againe from it This is a true saiyng where Christ sayth Whoseeuer perseuereth vnto th ende shal be saued There are many of vs which heare the worde of God and receiue it with ioye and shewe theim selues as though they would deuour the whole Gospell and yet for all that in the ende they do not alonely forsake their fayth but also against their owne conscience Gala. 5. they do persecute the manyfest trueth Vnto whom might very well bee spoken Ye ranne well who was a let vnto you that you should not obaye the truth Mat. 10 Briefely Christ is true in that he hath spoken saiyng There be many called but there be but fewe chosen Wherfore by right the ingratitude and vnthankefulnes of these nyne Iewes ought to feare vs and not only to feare vs but also to constraine vs dayly and hourely to pray vnto God that we may obtayne through Christ this constancie and perseuerance Also the thankefulnes of the Samaritane may prouoke vs to laude praise God for his goodnes that we receiue of him Forasmuche as our mercyfull God meruaylously deliteth in rendryng and geuyng suche thankes as he speaketh through the Prophete Dauid Psa 49 Who so offereth vnto me thankes and praise he honoureth me Why I pray you doth Christ aske after these nyne that were cleane and doth not returne again vnto him to geue him thankes Truely therfore that their ingratitude and vnthankefulnes highly displeased him And wherfore thynke you doth the Euangelist so diligently discribe that this Samaritane whiche criyng out did fall doune vpon his face at Iesus feete and magnifyed God and gaue him thankes doubteles that hee therwith woulde commend publishe and shewe vs the constancy of his faith and how highely the sacrifice of giuinge thankes and praise pleaseth god Nowe forasmuch as the kingdome of god is taken from the vnthankful Iewes and giuen vnto vs Gentiles we knowledging this benefite let vs daily giue thankes vnto God throughe Christe that hee will vouchsafe to make vs constant in faith and bring vs to euerlasting saluacion through Christe our lord Amen The gospell on the fyftenth sonday after trinitie sonday Math. 6. NO man can serue two maisters Luc. 16. For eyther hee shall hate the one and loue the other or els leane to the one and dispise the other Ye can not serue God and Mammon Therfore I say vnto you Luc. 12. Psal 55 1 Pet. 5. Be not carefull for your lyfe what yee shall eate or drynke nor yet for youre bodye what rayment ye shall put on Is not the lyfe more worth than meate and the bodye more of valewe than rayment Beholde the foules of the ayer for they sowe not neyther do they reape nor carye into their barnes and youre heauenly father feedeth them Are ye not muche better then they Luc. 12. Which of you by takyng carefull thought canne adde one cubyte vnto hys stature And why care ye for rayâ—ente Considre the lylyes of the fielde howe they growe They laboure not neither dooe they spynne And yet I saye vnto you that euen Salomon in all his royaltee was not arayedlyke vnto one of these Wherefore yf god so clothe the grasse of the fielde whiche though it stande to day is to morowe caste into the fornace shall he not much more do the same for you O ye of lyttle fayth Therefore take no thought saying What shall wee eate or what shall we drynke or wherwith shall we be clothed After all these thinges doo the Gentyles seeke For your heauenly father knoweth that you haue neede of all these thinges But rather seeke ye fyrst the kingdome of god and the righteousnes therof and all these thinges shal be ministred vnto you THE EXPOSITION The true seruice of god is repugnaÌ„t with the false seruice CHrist teacheth vs first in this gospel how that he can not suffre the false seruice of god wherwith in the steed of god the creatures ar worshipped to stand with the true seruice of god concluding it on this wise that it is needefull for vs other to be in al things christian men or els whole heithen infidels For if I will be a christen maÌ„ I must with al my hart set my trust confideÌ„ce in Christ And if it be not done with al the whole hart but partly that is if I think I must trust put my confideÌ„ce in creatures I haue here the sentence giuen vpon me that I am no christen man but rather

his dede his doctrine of christian pacience in those thynges that pertayned to his person Loue is the maister of al the lawes Wherfore Christ after his accustomed maner though the Phariseis neuer so muche wayted him healed this dropsy man vpon the sabboth daye shewyng with the same miracle that aswell Gods lawes as mannes lawes ought to serue and geue place vnto charitee And though the sabbot was coÌ„maunded vnto the Iewes most straightly to be kept yet that commaundement did not extende to the hynderaunce of charite wherof Christ in another place sheweth the reason why saiyng The sabbot was made for mans sake Mar. 2. and not man for the sabbothes sake 1. Ti. 1. And S. Paule sayth The chiefe somme of the commaundement is loue from a pure heart and of a good conscience and of fayth vnfayned Wherfore when I see my neighbour in necessitee I am bounde to shewe him charitee and loue if it were xx tymes holy day because loue is the rule and maistres of all lawes Nowe consider well with thy selfe whether Christe did not right in healyng of this manne that had the dropsye howe frowardly soeuer the Phariseis toke it If an Oxe or an asse had fallen into a hole on the sabboth day thynkest thou that they would haue taryed tyll the sabboth day had been past No surely Why then should not Christe shewe vnto a manne that they shewed vnto a beast ChristiaÌ„ libertie Ro. 14. And so let vs likewise vse the libertie that we haue in Christ Iesu our Lorde Let vs receiue those that be weake into the faith beware to trouble not their conscience And as for these obdurate and stubburne iustifiers of theim selfe whiche haue heard oure doctrine of christian libertie and yet dispiseth it against theim let vs vse the same libertie For whatsoeuer we do or leaue for their pleasure and weakenesse sake it wyll healpe nothyng at all but styll they wyll obstinately remayne in their blyndnes For so are the Phariseis against Christ and Christ against the Phariseis yet is there so great power streÌ„gth in the trueth that the Phariseis are constrayned to holde their peace Secondarily Christ gentely handled this sick man we see in this gospel howe familiarly and gentely Christ handeleth this man sicke of the dropsy he handeled healeth him letteth him go Fyrst he was in hand with these Pharisies whoÌ„ he would haue gladly instructed howe all lawes in tyme of neede are bounde to geue place vnto loue and charitee but they would neither heare not yet receyue his doctrine their heartes were stricken with so great blyndes Yea they would not onely refuse to heare Christe but sought alwayes meanes to distroy him whiche thyng happened chiefly vpon the Sabboth daye Deu 18. Mar. 3. when in the synagoge he made whole the mans hand that was drye and wythered Neuerthelesse Christ is frendly to this man that had the dropsy he healeth him byddeth him go his waies Howbeit it is to be thought that this man that had the dropsye had a good hope trust in Christ insomuch that he folowed Christ into the Phariseis house And without doubt he had not been healed if he had not had suche an hope in Christe And as the blyndnes of these Phariseis ought to abashe and feare vs because that thei had eyen and sawe not eares and heard not an heart beleued not so the goodnes benignite of Christe shewed vnto this man that had the dropsy ought to moue vs to lift vp our heartes and to put al our trust and confidence in Christ Therfore this miracle and suche like Rom. 25 are written vnto vs that therout we may learne what maner a man Christ is why the father hath sent him into this worlde and what from him is to be hoped for of a christen maÌ„ He did good vnto this man that had the dropsye because he hoped well in him Wherfore then should he deny vs any good thyng if we beleue in him Is his hand shortened Esai 59 that it can not helpe No truely His mercy endureth for euer The faute is in vs not in his helpyng hand that forbecause we wyll neither acknowlege our infirmite nor yet beleue But if we wyl acknowlege our imbecilite weakenes specially in those thinges that partayne to our soule and aske grace of Christ in a true fayth it is not possible but it shall be graunted vs. Furthermore it is requisite that we once obtaynyng this his grace and mercy endeuour our selues to shewe lyke loue and charity to our neighbour as Christe shewed here vnto this man that had the dropsye Thirdely The Pharises styl remaining in their blyndnes and so that they could neither throughe Christes wordes nor yet through his myracles be moued to beeleue Christe payed them home and forasmuch as he perceaued in them a desirous appety of vaine glory and euer chosing themselues the vppermost seates at feastes and sayd Christ reprehended the ambitiousnes of the pharises When thou art bidde to dinner to a mariage thou shalt not set thy selfe in the highgest place lest peraduenture one that is more honourable then thou be also bidden And then he that bad bothe the and him come and saye vnto the Giue this man place But when thou art called set the doune in the lowest place that he may say Friend syt vp higher With these wordes Christ would haue corrected the ambitioÌ„ of the phariseis For they sought the glory of thys world and were in their hartes al giuen to pomp and pride Mat. 23 As he saith in an other place That all the workes they did were done for the intent that thei might be seen of men Mat. 6. And in the syxt chap. of Math. wher Christ taught vs truly to pray to fast giue almes Ther likewise hee warned vs to take heede of suche phariseis and not to do good works in that intent like as thei did ther he addeth sayiÌ„g Thei haue receaued their reward He hath teached vs here mystically that if any man be called to the mariage of the godly grace he must not bee pufte vp nor yet thinke of him selfe more then becometh him but rather he ought to take heed that he beareth hiÌ„selfe vpright and be euer in feare lest he leese the goodnes and gifts that he hath receiued For thus it stondeth in the kingdome of Christe that he that exalteth him selfe shall come low he that meketh him selfe shall he exalted And in an other place He that will bee greatest amongest you Mar. 20 let him becom your seruant The same thing aloweth Christ Mat. 19 wheÌ„ he toke a child and set him in the middest of his disciples and said Except ye tourn and become as childreÌ„ ye shall not entre into the kingedome of god Luc. 28.
