M.D.XLIX ¶ The .c. and .xxx. Psalm of Dauid called De profundis FRom fayth of soule and hartes reioyce I call to the Lorde heare my voyce Thyne eares good Lorde enclyned be Vnto the poore complaynt of me Yf thu shouldest waye our wyckednesse Who can abyde thy ryghtuousnesse Because I fynde all health in the I doubt no fearce extremyte In my Lorde God is all my trust To walke as hys worde hath discust The churche for her contynuaunce Trust in the lordes good gouernaunce For in the Lorde great mercye is And full redempcyon after thys He wyll redeme all Israel From deuyll and deathe from synne and hell ☞ Iohan Bale Anno M.D.XLIII A Dialoge or Communicacyon to be had at a table betwene .ij. chyldren gathered out of the holy scriptures by Iohan Bale for his two yong sonnes Iohan and Paule Paulus iunior filius FOr so much as God hath cōstitute me a creature reasonable and indued me wyth an vnderstandynge I am naturally desyerouse to knowe to what ende I am created Ioannes senior filius Than wyl it be necessary for yow to haue fayth For he y t shal haue a do with god or with godlynesse must fyrste of all beleue after the sacred scrypturs Paulus Than tel me whatfaith is by those same sacred scriptures Ioannes After the saynge of S. Paule it is a certen assuraunce of godly thynges whyche we trust vnto and a grounded euydence in the sprete of heauēly causes that neuer are seane w t the eye Paul What suppose ye moste fytt to dyrect me in thys faythe Ioannes The eternall Testament or Gospell of Iesus Christ for that is y e power of the Lorde into saluacyon to all them that beleue What shal I esteme the tradicions of men besides that gospel Ioannes The leuen of Pharisees chaffe cockle tares stubble swylle swines draffe ydeluesse ydolatry whordome of the sprete fylthynesse false worshyppynge the call of straungers the fearfull curse of God and abhomiuacion standing in the holy place Paulus Whā was this gospel first taught Ioannes Sone after the worldes beginning whā Adā had ones offended least he shulde haue fallen into vtter dispair and so haue bene lost for ener Paulus And hath the Gospell contynued euersens to the confort of manne Ioannes Yea truly hath it oft sens that time bene confirmed by more earnest promises from age to age tyll that meke lambe come whyche toke awaye the synnes of the worlde thorough the shedynge of his most innocent bloud For the scrypture sayth that hys mercye was plenteouse from kyndrede to kyndred to them that feared the Lord. Paulus Hath all menne bene called to grace by that Gospell of saluacyon Ioannes Yea doubtlesse haue they yet haue they not al thākefully receyued it So well was it taught of our fyrste father Adam to Cain as to Abel So wel to the fleshely chyldren of menne as to the ghostly chyldren of God So well ded Noe preache it vnto Cham as vnto Sem and Iapheth So well ded Abraham shewe it to Ismael as to Isaac So well Moyses to Pharao as to the people of Israel Dauid to Amnon and Absolon as to Salomō Nathan Helias to Achab Iesabel as to the moste faythfull beleuers No lesse ded Christ open therof to Iudas than to Peter Iohan Iames. And so forth the Apostles with other true preachers to this present day so that non is without excuse Paulus How cometh it then to passe that so many are lost and still yet doth dayly peryshe through their lewde cōuersacyon and lycencyouse lyuyng Ioannes No faute can be ascribed to the Gospel but to their vnthankeful receiuing of y e frutes therof so frely offered them as I sayd afore The disdayneful spurninge a syde or throwinge at their tayles of that necessary health in Christ is cause of their decaye and not the set ordinaunce of God whych willeth all menne to be saued Paulus If Adam thus receyued thys gospel so taught it vnto his posterite it hath continued much longer then I supposed Ioannes The gospell is as y t Lord is euerlasting For as wytnesseth the Apostle saynt Iohn In the beginninge was the word the word was w t God God was that word Paulus Thē was not Mathew the fyrst wryter therof wyth the other Euangelistes as the popyshe churche hath taught vs Ioannes No God wrote it fyrst in the naturall hart of man so yt remained here styll tyll Moyses and the prophetes ded leaue it in outward wrytinge to the peoples farder erudicyon For as S. Paule doeth wytnesse all they ded eate frō the first beginninge of one spiritual meate dranke of one spiritual drynke y t harde rocke folowinge thē which was Iesus christ And this is a clere tokē that one gospel hath reigned in y e people of god sence y t worldes beginninge Paulus Yonge infantes departinge hence in their chyldehode shoulde seme to be no partyners therof Ioannes How so I pray you What is your reasō Paulus For they neuer haue it taught thē And yf they had yet shuld it lytle profyght thē hauing so smal vnderstāding Ioan. God neuer distributeth his gyftes to y t measure of age discressiō for then had Annas bene more faythfull then Peter and Caiphas more godlye then Iohan. For they were both elder and wyser As fayth is an vnknowne gyft of God so is it of hym secretelye ministred We knowe not frō whēce it cometh whē menne are borne of the spirit Iohan Baptist knewe Christ in his mothers wōbe yet had he neither age nor vnderstanding that was sene God is their secrete instructour preacher which taught it first withoute voyce wrote it without penne in the hydden hart of man As the spirite of prophecyded happen vnto menne by the fre gift of god without age so doth fayth to y e infantes As he gaue that benefyght of his grace to the babe Hieremye so doth he secretely ministre vnto thē that necessarye health of saluacion He alone made y e child Daniel rightlye to iudge y e vngodlye The Apostles spoke not of them selues but out of the abundaūce of hys eternal spirit also The aged are left to the outwarde gospell the chyldren are reserued to Gods secrete workynge And therfore Christe said vnto hys Apostles suffre the childrē to come vnto me for to thē belongeth the kingdome of heauē Theyr angels are euermore beholdinge the face of my father which is in
