O father this is my last determinate will that all those that thou hast giuen vnto me may bee with mee and see the glory which I had with thee before the world was created Hetherto are the words of Saint Augustine Marke also I pray you how Saint Iohn describeth in his reuelation the new Ierusalem xxi And I Iohn sayth he saw a new heauen and a new earth for the first heauen and the first earth were passed away and there was no more Sea and I Iohn saw the holy Citty new Ierusalem come downe from God out of heauen prepared as a bride trimmed for her husband and I heard a great voyce out of heauen saying behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and hee will dwell with them and they shall bee his people and God himselfe shall bee their God with them And God shall wipe away all teares from their eyes and there shal be no more death neither sorrowe neither crying neither shal there bee any more paine For the first thinges are passed and there came vnto mee an Angell saying come I will show thee the Bridegroome the lambs wife And he carried me away to an hie mountaine and showed me that great Cittie that holy Ierusalem discending out of heauen from God hauing the glory of God and her shining was like vnto a stone most precious as a Iasper stone as cleere as Christall and had a great wall and hie and had twelue gates and at the gates twelue Angels and the names written which are the twelue tribes of the children of Israell and the building of the wall of it was of Iasper and the Citty was pure gold like vnto cleare glasse the foundation of the wall of the Cittie was garnished with all manner of precious stones and the twelue Gates were twelue pearles and euery gate is of one pearle and the streetes of the Citty is pure gold as shining glasse and there is no Temple for the Lord almighty the Lambe are the Temple of it There is the pure Riuer of water of life cleare as Christall proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lambe There is the tree of life which beare twelue manner of fruites There is no night no candle or light of the Sun for the Lord God giueth them light and they shal shine for euermore Now then tell me ô zealous Christian what needest thou feare death sith frō a most miserable world thou shalt passe to a glorious kingdome from miseries to euelasting ioyes frō labours troubles to eternally pleasures and delights Will not the hope of these rewards mooue thee to welcome Death Thē heare some more ioyes which thou shalt possesse in the blessed future life The righteous shall shine as the Sunne in the kingdome of their Father They shall haue the inheritance of euerlasting life They shall be as the Angels of heauē they shall be in Abrahams bosome they shal be where Christ is and see his glorie The Apostle S. Paul saith The eye hath not seene the eare hath not heard nor hath it entered into the hart of man the thinges which God hath prepared for them which loue him vve shall be with the Lord and liue with him for euer vvee shall be vessels vnto honour vvee shal haue the crowne of righteousnes we shal dwel in the Citty of the liuing God the heauenly Ierusalem and see the innumerable company of Angels VVhen Christ our chiefe Shepheard shal appeare saith S. Peter we shal receiue an incorruptible crowne of glory and S. Iohn in his Reuelation saith To him that ouercōmeth I will giue to eate of
sound a retraite froÌ„ sin alwaies remembring Christ crucified For as Bernard saith The remembrance of Christ crucified crucifieth sinne And as S. Augustine saith Then Christ dooth sleepe in thee when thou hast forgot his passion The readiest way direct path to goe to Heauen is to swim through the red sea of Christes blood The droppes of Christs precious blood raigning downe from the clowdes of his mercie must queÌ„ch the angry flame of Gods wrath which wee cannot extinguish by the vertuous water of any merrit It is the oyle of Grace which must purge our defiled harts It is the dewe of heauen which will make vs florish beeing ingrafted into the true Oliue It is the welspring of our saluation it is the heauenly manna which all of vs should gather vp in the wildernes of this world Loue this good thing in which all goodnes is it is enough for thee yea obserue but this short lesson which Augustine giueth thou art a good Christian Ama deum et amices in deum et inimicos propter deuÌ„ et beatus es Loue Christ who loueth thee loue his friends that loue Christ and thee loue Christes enemies that hate Christ and thee then thou shalt be beloued of Christ for louing him thou shalt bee beloued of Christ for louing theÌ„ that hate Christ thee the haters shall perrish yet thou louing shalt be beloued Loue GOD without measure theÌ„ shalt thou be happy without measure Loue God withal thy hart whoÌ„ thou shalt behold without end loue without pride praise with out wearines Therfore if men did but obserue this briefe lesson wee need not feare death but welcome him vvith a thousand kisses for that messenger doth bring vs gladde tidings for by him we change transitory mortall and corruptible things for certaine immortall and incorruptible treasures earth for heauen sin for godlines darknes for light feare for security trauell for quietnesse sicknesse for health death for life the company of men for the companie of the omnipotent God and heauenly angels the vile pleasures of this world for the inestimable ioyes of heauen Oh therefore let vs hartily wish to be losoned froÌ„ this life that we may come to appeare before the presence of God let vs say with Dauid Like as the Hart desireth the water brookes so longeth my soule after thee ô God O GOD thou art my God early will I seek thee my soule thirsteth for thee my flesh also longeth after thee in a barren and dry land where no water is Let vs say with Iob It grieueth my soule to liue longer in this mortall body Let vs say with holy Toby O Lord deale with me according to thy will and command my spirit to be receiued in peace For wheÌ„ the liuely threds of our life vntie the spindle vndoe the web riue and our naturall life endeth yet the spirituall and essentiall part namely the soule shall be receiued with Angels carried to heauen most louingly as a precious relique into the kingdome of heauen It shal be like a Doue carried on the wings of Angels into this heauenly Palace For as Augustine saith It is the office of Angels to carry soules to the company of the blessed Now therefore when Death shal breake vp your mortall house imprint this lesson in the forefront of your languishing flesh yea euen when you are halfe berest of life that you remember Christ crucified remember him to be the onely Sauiour remember God the Father to bee a most mercifull Father Fixe the eyes of your faith on Iesus Christ on his merrits on his passion death on his blessed body breaking and his most precious blood shedding on his triumph and victory ouer fathan and his hellish army Forget not that all your sinnes are washed away in Christes blood that by vertue of his death and passion you are made beyre of euerlasting saluation Fight a good fight be not discouraged by the paines of death neuer shrink in Deaths battell call vppon Iesus for no baulme will be more comfortable to a wound theÌ„ the name of Iesus to deaths wound Put on the Helmet of saluation the brest-plate of righteousnes the girdle of truth the shield of faith the sworde of the spirit and your feete shod with the preparation of the Gospell of peace Feare not stand fast quit your selues like men for in this spirituall battell you sight vnder the banner of the mighty victorious Emperor Iesus Christ onely continue with these weapons the day is yours If sathan tempt you you may with hartie prayers good Orators for your saluation inchant that Dragon that hee may sleep while your soule is translated to tast of the golden fruite of blessed soules perseuere in this battell which is the true complement of vertue The paine of the battel is small the glorie of the triumph shall abide for euer euer For so saith the scripture To him that ouercoÌ„mmeth I will giue to eate of the tree of life which is in the midst of Paradice be faithful vnto the death and I wil giue thee a crowne of life Hee that ouercommeth I wil make a piller in the temple of my God and hee shall go no more out yea to him that ouercoÌ„math wil I grant to sit with me in my seate These precious promises rewards may make vs couragious against death folow your captaine Christ you cannot erre for he is the way belieue christ you cannot be deceiued for hee is the truth abide and remaine in Christ and you cannot die the death euerlasting for he is the life wherfore cleaue with strong faith to Christ and say with that wise man My minde is rooted and built in Christ and then you neede not feare when death shall giue your soule the winges of true libertie to depart out of your fraile flesh and to flie vp to heauen and rest within Abrahams bosome for theÌ„ you shal rest from your labors trauels For so saith the scripture the soules of the righteous are in thy haÌ„d ô God the paine of death shall not touch them In the sight of the vnwise they appeare to die but they are in peace they are as the Angells of God they are clad with white garmeÌ„ts haue golden crownes vpon their heads They

Garey Tu nil rescribas attamen ipse veni ⧠A Treatise entituled Deaths welcome THE principall motiue vvhich doth encourage a man to welcome and imbrace death is the assured hope of the future life and of those ioyes which hee shall enioy in the neuer fading kingdome Therefore S. Paule saith Vnlesse the dead be raised againe what aduantageth it me to haue fought with beasts at Ephesus For vnlesse there were a resurrection of the dead and an immortall life to be obtained after this our pilgrimage why should we liue in ieopardy euery howre suffer such persecution in this world not rather follow the rules of the Epicures eate drinke for to morrow we shall die and vppon our graues engraue the Epitaph of Sardanapalus which hee writ a little before his death Cum te mortalem noris presentibus exple Delicijs animū post mortem nulla voluptas Et venere et plumis et caenis Sardanapali This I say were the best pleasing life to eate with the Epicure sleepe with Endimion carouse with Alexander with the rich man in the scripture to flatter our selues saying Soule thou hast much goods layde vp
against all these desperable considerations the saying of Saint Augustine is the best remedy If thou feare iudgement to come rebuke thy conscience In the whole course of thy life so liue that thou maist haue a secure conscience for thou must liue here for a time in such sort that thou dying godly maist liue for euer VVe must die that wee may liue and wee must liue that wee may die well If thou liuest well thou shalt die vvell and thou shalt liue wel if thou doost follow the holy course which Saint Hierome obserued VVhether I eate or drinke saith hee or what soeuer els I doe alwaies that same terrible trumpet soundeth in mine eares Arise you that be dead and come to iudgement For as the same Father saith in another place He easily contemneth all things that doth alwaies thinke that he shall die For he that alwaies takes the memory of death for his vnseparable spouse and bitter sighs for his chyldren and holy compunction for his mother to depure him from his filthynesse he which hateth the world perfectly fauoreth godlinesse zealously endeuoreth to amend his life seriously obeieth his superiors gladly and beareth Christs crosse patiently showeth good tokens that hee will die a good Christian such a man needs not feare the mention of death nor neede his soule weepe in secret nor his eies drop downe teares for hee may bee certaine that he is one of that perdestinated company which shall raigne for euermore But as for a man that hath liued dissolutely through the whole course of his life hath beene a notorious sinner yet for all that hee needs not dispaire for Christ was not surprised with a rauing feuer when in the tragedie of his passion he made his body as a Cloude to resolue in showres of innocent bloud and suffered his decrest vaines to be launced to giue a full issue for the price of our soules redemption Hee came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance O yee sinners behold the Lambe bleeding and shedding his precious blood to clense you from sinne and to saue you from sathan drinke vp in faith the droppings of his blood and moisten your soules therewith eate him and chew him for he is the bread of life which whosoeuer eateth shall neuer hunger more Say with Christestome Omnis mea salus in passione Christi est posita For whatsoeuer doth belong to my saluation paratum est per Christi mortem as the same father saith his death hath made a sufficient ransome for my sinnes It is the Lambe of God which doth purge mee from all my sinnes I fully beleiue that therefore all my sinnes shall be forgiuen me not for my merrits but for Christs death not for my righteousnesse but for Gods mercies which doth extend to thousands and tenne thousands whose sinnes in respect of Gods mercies are but as Augustine saith one droppe in respect of the whole Sea And as Bernard saith the mercie of God is greater then any miserie of ours Hold vp thine eies to heauen behold the God of all consolation and mercy craue of him to poure downe the influences of his comfort to helpe thy vnbeliefe to confirme thy faith to strengthen thee with a stedfast assurance of his heauenly Kingdome Wast away thy wickednesse in the Fountaine of repentance and the leprosie of thy sinne in the streaming Riuers of penitent teares For this heauenly dew of repentance neuer falls but the Sun of righteousnesse drawes it vp for it was sweetly vttered by a Diuine of sweetest vtterance that repentant eies are the Cellars of Angells and penitent teares the sweetest wines which the sauour of life perfumeth the tast of grace sweetneth and the purest cullours of returning innocency highly beautifieth Oh that our harts were euermore such a limbecke distilling so pure a quintessence of godlinesse drawne from the weedes of our offences by the fire of true contrition heauen would mourne at the absence of so precious waters and earth lament the losse of so fruitfull showres Sure till death close vp those fountaines they should neuer faile running which if they did alwaies runne we neede not doubt of our saluation but that GOD would wash away all our sinnes The world saith Bernard had not perrished with the flood if they had betaken themselues to repentance And as it is in Ieremie If wee repent of our wickednesse God will repent of his wickednesse deuised against vs and as it is in Ezechiell If the vngodly will turne away from all his sinnes that he hath done doubtlesse he shall liue and not die And againe bee conuerted and turne you cleane from your wickednesse so shall there do sinne doe you harme So when the Niniuites did repent mourning in Sack-cloath and ashes he repented on the euill which he said he would doe vnto them and did it not Examples of repentant sinners who obtained remission for their offences be Paule the sinfull woman Dauid Manasses Peter the theife this day on the crosse this night in Paradise For Iesus is like an Euangelicall henne neuer ceaseth clocking to gather thee vnder his winges like a Chicken for it pleased Iesus of vnmerrited goodnesse to leaue the nintie nine mist sheepe the societie of blessed Angells to seeke the straying sheepe the groate that lost the royall stampe of

a thornie Crowne by drinking vineger by sweating droppes of bloud by suffering the violent death on the crosse thou foundest him O louing Iesus and tender harted Samaritan that of a sicke hast salued of a grieuous sinner hast saued him of a wicked creature hast washed him in the streame of thy inestimable mercie Therfore I confidently beleiue although the flower of my age is faded the grasse withered and my whole life as a vanishing vapoure is passed away yet when I shail be dissolued I assuredly hope to be ioyned fully to Iesus my head and onely Vine wherein I liue although the purseuant sicknesse must visit this body of sin and death must rowe mee ouer the Seas of this world yet I hope in the barke of faith and merrits of Christ Iesus and by the Ancor of Gods couenaunts made to the house of David I shall arriue at that blessed Hauen from whence I shall neuer more hoise vp sailes or lanch into the deepe of miserie but shall sit imparadised in heauen with fulnesse of grace till the day of thy great visitation shal com whē meeting thee in the cloudes I shall enter into the store house of ioyes there for euermore to raigne If a sinner could thus absolutely confirme himself not distrust Gods mercy and clemencie without all doubt he would not feare to die but withall hee must haue a setled determination to mortifie his bodie to abandon vices with the trumpet of a Christian life to
