not to executioÌ„ Your good pollicies therin to preuent pardon for vnworthy persons is commendable but for tyme space for instruction repentaunce I speake that as we all desire the Lorde to geue vs tyme to keepe vs from soddaine death So as you best shall finde good deale with their soules I besÃ©eche you whose bodies by iustice you commyt to death Iustice is well called the Lady of ciuile affayres or rather the mother of a coÌ„mon weale and hir two daughters or damosels Lenity Seuerity are very necessary handmaids Iustice is to respect euery mans cause but no mans person for that is partiality Lenity is to mitigate or lessen the punishment but not the facte for that were iniquity and Seuerity is to punish the fault condignly but not without cause for that were tyranny I leaue this to your discretions euen thus bicause you are wyse inough to whome the matter is commited onely I pray you remembre that God is Iudge ouer all and that he setteth vp equity and righteousnesse in his kingdome Here is the ende of his comming or kingdome Israels safety by his time is meant for euer for who can tell his age Esa. 53. So long then as he is king so long shal Iuda be safe but he is king for euer therefore for euer shall Iuda be glad We are sealed therfore safe he hath all power therefore we are safe This is the perfect state of happinesse in deede not onely to be in peace but to be without feare of farther trouble This maye partly be vnderstoode of Israels delyuery which were in peace a long season in respect of their wonted troubles warres And it maye be applied to the mylitaunt Church which notwithstaÌ„ding it is tossed with many teÌ„pestes yet is it voyde of any feare of dampnation bicause of our fayth and faythfull foundation Iesus Christ. Eyther it maye be more effectually vnderstoode of the tryumphant Church which is safe and past all feare euen as Christ himselfe crowned in the heauens and past all the daungers of hell Hence we note the ende of Magistrates of Princes ruling to be their subiectes safetie without feare a shyp sailes to come to the port a man fights to get victory he that labours doth it that he maye rest Christes Church is mylitant that it may be triumphant And looke what the whyte is to him that shooteth and the same is peace to him that gouerneth The marke that Magistrates should ayme and shote at is the prosperity of the people That is no sound peace where there is daunger of warre there is no safety where there is continual feare now at meate and nowe in the fielde nowe in the Church and anon in prison As Israel was sore chased and vexed of their enimies at euery halfe whyle We haue no such cause to complayne God be thanked therefore and yet our hope and feare can not chuse but ebbe and flow bicause we haue had such a peace as the enimie doth enuie and the true Christian can not but feare what wyll followe But sÃ©eing Deus nobis haec otia fecit that God is the author of our peace we wyll not cease to put our trust in him and to pray vnto him for encrease of grace and so shall we be sure of long peace Let vs decline in dÃ©ede from euyll doo in dÃ©ede the thinges that are good let vs praye vnfeynedly for the bonde of peace which is vnitie but I woulde haue it in verity for a Citie deuided can not long stande He that knoweth both buildings their cause of ruines hath tolde vs so Parris is a pattern not of long ago and Antwerp an example but of yesterday happy are they whom other mennes harmes can make to beware and dolefull is theyr estate that dally with destruction The Lord knit the knot of peace make it fast from flypping and breaking that being at quiet in our bowelles from sedition at home we maye be stronger in body to resyst all forraigne powers abroade A most glorious and gratious tytle and cause of al our comfort how neare a name to this doth the Angell reueale to Ioseph when he called him Emanuel Math. 1. Esa. 8. which is God with vs As the plaister vnapplyed being neuer so good doth yet no good at all So al that we haue heard of this king can comfort vs nothing except it doo pertayne vnto vs nay the brightnesse and glory of his comming kingdom doth rather breede dispayre in vs that well consider what we are therefore to mÃ©ete with this malady the mercy of the Lord hath discouered him to the full And to vs the daye starre shyneth bright and bringeth ioy in the morning so is the sonne of righteousnesse sproÌ„g vp to vs that were in darknesse and in the shadow of death And hence is it the the ryghteous are sayde to shine as the sonne in the kingdome of God bicause the son himselfe is our righteousnesse at whose appearing the very suÌ„ne shal lose his beames the Moone hir brightnesse and the starres theyr lyght for they are darknesse vnto him and he is the Lorde our righteousnesse It is necessary that sÃ©eing the reward of sinne is flatte by the Lawe eternall death and that for very shame coÌ„science sake no man dare able himself iust before the barre or tribunall seate of god Which sore trial Dauid saw and how it would go with him when he cryed Lorde enter not into iudgement with thy seruaunt for no flesh is ryghteous in thy sight Notwithstanding that pestilent rable past all shame doth desperately dare to broche such dampnable doctrine of merite whereby establishing their owne righteousnesse they cast downe the righteousnesse of Iesus Christ as the Iewes dyd Rom. 10. but their rewarde is ready their destruction slÃ©epeth not for their merits sake Let vs deny all worthynesse or towardnesse or sparke of goodnesse to be in vs which the Papistes do falsifie fayne to be a grace remayning in theÌ„ wherby they take away that all which is due to Iesus Christ. Who as he is all in all and alone hath wrought our redemption so alone he wyll be glorified and be altogether our righteousnesse without our helpe or addition wherefore it is sayde when we hated him he loued vs which is taught by that place He loued vs first and that he was founde of them that neuer sought after him but that he is made to vs wisedome ryghteousnesse sanctification redemption and onely hath preueÌ„ted our dampnation so that al other practises are but simple shifts merites are but popish paltry not woorth one gally halpeny nay whatsoeuer it be beside Christ it helpes to hell as round as can be For he is the way the trueth and the lyfe Of with all backe byases then which maketh vs runne out of course let vs kÃ©epe our grounde beware of wandring for vaine opinion hath caryed many a

A SERmon Preached at Pawles Crosse on Sunday the ninth of December 1576. by T.W. Imprinted at London by Francis Coldock 1578. Â¶ To the Reader IT IS commonly seene Christian Reader that cunning men are daungerous and that the boldest are the blindest ofteÌ„times and it is to bee lamented that this curiositie should so bee founde in Christianitie and that any professours of the Gospell should be deintie to do good Alas it is but little we can do when we haue done all and our life it self is not very long whyle we haue time therefore let vs be doing for Satan neuer sleepeth nor ceaseth destroying VVe are all in debt to Christes Church and are bounde to buylde according to our Talent Let euery man set too his helping hande then and let Christes cause neuer be hindered for mans credite Let vs rather consider the Commaundement and expresse our loue by feeding Tongues that are silent in speaking should argue hands diligent in writing especially in a Minister but when both are ydle surely all is euill and that Minister but an Idol before the Lorde The wise debter vnable to pay all vseth policie in trifling presents and findes good ease thereby Owe we all vnto the Lorde and shall we bring nothing to his Church I must needes confesse that I haue bin tardy and lingred in this fault too long my selfe but fearing the rashnesse of them that come to soone I see the daungerous lapse or lashe of them that come too late and happie is that seruant whom when his Maister commeth he shall finde dooing Surely I had denied many petitions beeing priuie to many infirmities of mine owne but looke what the forwardnesse of my friende coulde not doe and that hath the frowardnesse of certayne brought to passe and I trust all for the best only I mark this for my learning that what I denied to doe voluntarily I am made nowe by an exigent in a maner to doe violently for nothing can hinder Gods purpose VVherfore I craue pardon of them whose instant requests I did incessantly denie but chiefly of God whose church is wronged if any thing that may profite hiâ— be at any time concealed To auoyde which fault at the last I am resolued and beâ—ing persuaded that the playner is the better for the most part I haue vsed no curiousnesse in the matter for it can not be so simple but if it be sounde withall it shall profite the faythfull reader The worst fault I finde is of the most part who can be content to let all Sermons slip and scarcely buy one or if some buy them to let them sleepe in their houses who were as good let theÌ„ alone for so they lose both their money and that precious pearle which no money can buy agayne The benefite of writing deserueth more diligeÌ„ce in reading especially of good things but the thousands of Pamphlets toyes are caught vp quickly deuoured in hast though they shal neuer be disgested into any good substaunce I feare they are so full fraught with poyson It were happie that they were all buried in darknes or burned in the light which minister matter to Fansies schole or Pleasures pallace but nothing vnto the church of god Redeeme the time for the dayes are euill Let this be a warning to you that feare God to let goe suche Bookes and to haue nothing to do with them the worlde is full of them Emptie you your houses in the name of God and let not your youth once finger them for they are the bane of youth and learne to play the Bee not onely to flye and see the floure but to sucke also the worde of God is sweeter than hony or the hony combe Psal. 19. vers 10. Beeing diuersly called at this time I am fayne to prefixe no other preface than the very same whiche I vsed at the Crosse and that worde for worde as both my Sermons are excepting in my latter I haue kept back certayne things which I thought not so coÌ„uenient or necessarie to divulgate bicause they concerned the persons then and there more particularly God encrease thy knowledge and with knowledge fayth and with fayth zeale that thou mayst growe aright and righteous to saluation in Iesu Christ. Amen I Craue pardon Christian Reader for that the Writer beeing full of other businesse him selfe wherby he could not followe this and his hande beeing very harde small hath bin the cause of some escapes in the print Yet let it not discourage thee but take thy pen and bestow the paynes to correct them and I hope the profite shall make thee recompence I haue not altogither satisfied the Author neither in disposing many things yet I haue done my best but the matter beeing not muche amisse our labour is not lost Farewell The faultes escaped Page 1. line 4. for 77. reade 76.

IT were highly to be wished hartily prayed for honourable beloued in Iesus Christ that in this and all lyke assemblies the eyes eares of mens mindes were but aswell occupied as the eyes and the eares of the body and that we woulde prepare our selues by prayer to come with a circumcised and catechised soule in the humilitie of spirite not presuming of witte or wisdome or wealth or aucthoritie or any thing what so euer I meane not to be puffed vp or sowred with that forbidden leauen of the PharisÃ©es and so vngratiouslie to preuent the swÃ©ete and sauorie doctrine of Gods eternall counsaile You haue heard I am sure of the Spyders poison and of the hony of BÃ©es yet both sucke out of one and the same flowre you haue heard that the selfe same Gospell is to one a sauor of lyfe to another a sauor of death 2.
