wyll not saye assaye y e death for they dye in peace· They were dead afore in God by geuīge themselues ouer to God and he y t dyeth in God lyueth eternally Happy are they that dye in the Lorde for their dyenge is chaunged in to lyuynge That is it that Christ sayeth He that kepeth my worde shall not dye foreuer Lazarus They haue alwaye made hell so whote ●nto vs and the deuell so blake that we

wherby euery mā feared death But where was the worde of God thā which promyseth That we that beleue in Christ shal neuer assaye nor se death Haue these false teachers and blynde leaders neuer sene such euangelicall scripture nor red nor herde thē Tobias Though they haue sene herde and red it yet haue not they beleued it For the prince of this worlde hath blynded their mysbeleuyng hartes Where is no faith there is a perpetuall disquietnes of conscience there is a hell a fearfulnesse yee a see full of all fearfulnesse remorse and mysbelefe There is hell whote and the deuell blake there is a perpetual rackinge place of a synfull conscience In the waye of the synners is greate trauayll laboure as wytnesse they thēselues sayēge We be weryed in y e waye of wyckednesse we haue trauayled many wayes and the waye of trueth hath not ouershadoweth vs. That is it that the wyse man sayeth The harte of the wyked mā is lyke a see tossed with the waues And because these hypocrytes and workholyons seke peace where as they fynde no peace but greate disquietnesse and troubell for the vngodly haue no peace sayeth the lorde God therfore thynke they it be so with euery man as it is with thē They thynke euery man be so doubtfull and vnstedfast harted as they be yee because they estyme them selues more holyer and better than other therfore thinke they other must fele whoter fyre than they themselues and that other must fele the gnawenge worme more in theyr consciences than they Wherfore they augment and make the lawe the deuell and death more haynous before mens eyen They that be the moost fearfullest as these be vnto them wyll they be more horrible and dredefull with wordes and other thynges wherby they be become nothynge but rackers of the simple I beleue their worme neuer rest their fyre be neuer quenched I beleue right well they go astraye fyndyng no reste wyth y e manslayer Cayn I beleue they runne faythlesse with Iudas to the prestes and freers to be shryuen for cōfort and reste but they abyde styll desperate I beleue right well they be ready to do satisfactiō for theyr synnes with Antiochus and of mistrust geue mony to praye for thē But al theyr fastynge prayenge goynge wolwarde and barefote all their mulynge and bablynge shall not helpe thē Whether soeuer they turne them selues they fynde alwaye synne present they mete al waye the deuyll and death in the tethe Howe can these teache otherwyse than they finde How shuld they preache y e gospell of peace y t neuer taysted peace How shulde they instructe another in Gods behalfe of his atonement of his rest and victory of death and his assuraunce frō hell whiche haue no fayth therof Let none of these deuel martyrs make you thus folyshe or wytlesse If ye haue the worde of God y t sheweth you peace forgeuenesse you haue God Where rest is there is God there is an euerlastynge cōuenaunt There is roted out the feare of death y e deuell hell For feare is not in loue but she excludeth feare Paul sayeth We that be iustifyed by fayth haue peace by God He that is iustified thyswyse by the trew fayth of Christ though he sawe the deuell death hel with hys eyen yet wolde not he be abashed yee he wolde rather fyght agaynst them ouer come them than he wolde flye one fote And why for the gates of hell that is y e power of thesame can not optayne the victory of Peters fayth Sayntes haue ouercome kyngdomes by faith wrought ryghtwesnesse and optayned the Godly promyses The prophet sayeth Though a battayll a rose agaynste me in that wyl I hope Though I must go through the myddest of death yet shall not I feare for thou art with me lorde Thou hast prepared a tabel before me against myne enmyes Be of good cymforte sayeth Christ for I haue ouercome the worlde That is y e victory y t ouercōmeth y e world euē your faith sayeth Iohn ¶ Lazarus you haue declared me that so clearly that I euen reioyce therin and feare death lesse than afore Let here come whan it shal please God I knowe by experiēce welynough what fearfull cōscience I haue had in myn vnbelefe ī my moost vertuous workes ye nede not to make farther declaration in this behalf Neuerthelesse this I require yet of you y t
