repentaūce Plucke me out lorde from the hande of the maliciouse delyuer me from the bondes of sunne take me from the snare of death leade me out of the depnes of helle saue me from oppression and the harde bondage of heuynes that my mynde may ryse vp and ioye in the and that I may blysse the all the days of my lyfe I thanke the lorde in Iesu my sauiour for accordyng to the multitude of my sorowes in my herte thy cōfortes haue reioysed my soule wherfore I wyll alwayes truste in the and I wyll for my parte adde vnto all thy prayse Thou lord bowe thin eare vnto me hasten that to plucke me out Alas wretche that I am lo agayne heuynes cōmeth instructed with terrible armours The banner of iustice goeth before her an innumerable hooste foloweth her feete eche hath a spere in his hande I beholde on euery syde instrumentes of deathe wo be to me I am vndone with an hyghe and horrible voyce she cryeth O wretche that same thy hope hath deceyued the. Lo thou haste laboured in vayne for thou saydest Bowe thyn eare to me hasten the to plucke me out Hath god bowed his eare vnto the Is thy prayer herde where is the delyueraunce where is the conforte Hath god hastened to plucke the out Yet arte thou bounde and a prisoner nothynge is altered If thou beleuest faythe to be trewe why doest onely enbrace hope Knoweste thou not that god is iuste Knowest not his iustice He spared not his angels he pitied not them nor wyll pitie them but for one only synne they be condempned for euermore Adam synned and the iustice of god punyshed the whole mankynde with deathe Thynkest that god doth not as wel loue rightwisenes as mercy Chyldren deꝑtynge in original synne shall neuer se the face of god so rygorous is the iustice of god that for the synne whiche they dyd not but receyued by nature they shall be punyshed with euerlastynge payne For in helle is no redēption Knowest not that god spareth not the offender Dyd he not destroy in the tyme of Noe almoste all mankynde Dyd he not consume with fyre Sodoma and the other cities adioynynge vnto it Nor the diuine iustice hath not so moche as taken compassion of infauntes and innocentes Howe ofte punyshed he the Iewes offendynge was not Hierusalem vtterly destroyed by the handes of Nabugodonosor Neyther spared he his owne temple for it was also destroyed of Titus themperour of Rome where the Iues were so cruellye punyshed that there is no man that heareth of it but quaketh for feare But se how sharpe the iustice of god is the children for the fathers are punyshed euyn to this day Beholde the Iues be slaues and captiues in euery place and dyenge in theyr blyndnes are punyshed with euerlastynge paynes Troweste thou the mercye of god is greatter than his iustice Truely in god it is neyther greater nor lesse For what soeuer is in god is his substaunce But let vs consydre the workes of iustice mercy and we shall euidently espie that the workes of iustice do excede the workes of mercy God hym selfe is witnesse sayenge Many be called fewe elected Marke howe many infidels be dampned how many euyl christen men there be howe fewe lyue christianly and thou shalte perceyue anone that there be farre more vessels of iustice thā of mercy The electe are the vessels of mercy the refuse the vessels of iustice Let not Mary Magdalen make the truste nor the thefe nor Peter nor Paule for there was but one Mary one thefe one Peter one Paule Trowest thou to be accompted amongest so fewe whiche haste cōmitted so many and so hughe synnes whiche haste ben a sclaunder in the churche whiche haste offended heuen and erthe Lo thyn iyes hath wepte thy herte hath besought mercy and as yet thou haste obteyned none So many prayers of them that loued the be they herde no and why so Surely bicause thou arte reputed amonge the vessels of yre Thy hope hath made the to labour in vayne Folowe my coūsell heuen hath caste the vp the earth receyue the not who can suffre this greate confusion Better it is for the to dye than to lyue chose deathe whiche yf no man wyll brynge vpon the lay handes vpon thy selfe sley thy selfe These wordꝭ she with wonderfull importunitie layde on and all the whole hooste with loude voyces dyd reherse the same sayenge Deathe onely is thy refuge But I hearynge this was sore afrayde and sodeynly felle downe vpon my face cryenge out and sayenge Lorde helpe me lorde forsake me not come my hope come my hope Lo sodeynly hope glysterynge from heuen came downe and touched my syde and lifted me vp and dyd set me on my feete and sayde Howe longe yet shalte thou be a babe Howe longe wylte thou be anouice and a yonge souldier So ofte thou hast ben in batayle and haste walked in the myddes of the darkenes of deathe and hast not yet lerned to fyght Be thou not dismayed of the greate iustice of god be thou conforted thou fayntherted felowe Let them feare whiche be not cōuerted to the lorde whiche walke in theyr owne ways whiche folowe vanities whiche knowe not the way of peace Let the wycked tremble whiche do greuously synne and saye what haue I done whiche be not conuerted to the herte whiche be called and refuse to come they knowe not god and wyll not vnderstāde that they may do well Let these feare what saythe the apostle It is a dredefull thynge to falle in to the handꝭ of the lyuynge god Suche doubtles the iustice of god punysheth suche men ꝑteyne to her But synners whiche returnynge agayne to them selues do ryse agayne and runne to the father of mercies sayenge Father Luc. xv I haue synned agaynst heuen towardes the but be thou mercyfull vnto me synner Let suche haue truste in the lorde for he that hath drawen them vndoubtedly wyll receyue them iustifie them Let heuynes brynge forthe yf she can one synner were he neuer so greate whiche conuerted to the lorde was not receyued of hym iustified For although it be writen of Esau that he founde no place of repentaūce though he soughte it with teares This maketh nothynge agaynst vs for Esau dyd not wepe for his synnes that he had cōmitted but for his temporall goodes that he had loste whiche he coulde not recouer Nor thynke not that iustice doth so pertayne to the wycked that it is clene seperate from mercy Nor agayne that mercy doth so belonge to ryghtwyse men that it is clene seuered from iustice For all the ways of the lorde is mercy and veritie For he sheweth mercy also to sinners in gyuynge them for the good dedes that they do tēporally temporall rewardes and after this lyfe in punyshyng them not so moche as they deserued Lyke wyse his electe he pursueth with his iustice in punyshyng them temporally for theyr synnes that they be not punyshed euerlastyngly Thou therfore suffre paciētly
