vnto vs euery daye for amendment of lyfe sayinge with S. Paule aryse thou that slÃ©epest and stand vp from death and the Lorde â–ª shall giue thÃ©e light and yet for all this we slÃ©epe stil And therfore I fear me that many of vs shall dye in our sinnes without repentaunce and haue our soules buried in hell to euerlastinge paine which if we woulde awake and aryse from sinne shoulde dwell in heauen to euerlastinge lyfe And truely we that be heare in thys country be of all others I feare me fruthest of froÌ„ saluacion For although the trumpet of gods word doe dayly sounde in our eares and although we haue the blacke cloudes of darkenes and ignorauÌ„ce driuen away from vs by the shininge light of the gospell yet for all this we walke not as the childrâ—e of light but are to wel acquainted and ouer much occupied in the vnfruitfull workes of darkenes for howe can we be saide to be the childrne of light when as no fruit of godly life appeareth in all our doinges and when our dÃ©eds be such towards our neighbours that they shewe and declare there is nothinge but doung and poyson in our hartes And howe can wÃ©e be saide to be awake when as we lye still buried in sin drowned in vice sÃ©einge that we daily commit such dÃ©edes as stiâ—cke both before she face of god and all good men We say that a man is awake wheÌ„ as he can do the office of a maÌ„ as talke write go run such like So in like maner a man is said to bÃ©e a waked out of the slÃ©epe of sinne wheÌ„ as he beleueth truely in Christ loueth his neighbour and walketh in the waies and commaundementes of the Lorde god Kinge Dauid awaked out of this slÃ©epe of sinne wherein he had laine aboue a yeare when as Nathan the Prophet came vnto him reproued him therfore For after that NathaÌ„ had rebuked him for his whoredome hÃ©e began to mislike him selfe earnestly for his sinne coÌ„mitted humbled himselfe before God and cryed out I haue sinned against the Lorde sayinge Miserere mei deus secundum magnum miserecordiam tuam c. Haue mercy on me O God according to thy great mercy and accordinge to y multitude of thy compassions wype away my offeÌ„ces Wash me throughly from my wickednes and clense me from my sinne The Prodigall sonne awaked out of the slÃ©epe of sinne wheÌ„ he forsooke his fylthy strompets and retourned home to his father from whom he had rashly departed submittinge him selfe vnto him and sayinge Father I haue sinned against heaueÌ„ and against thÃ©e am no more worthy to bÃ©e called thy sonne The wicked Iewes which had crucified Christ harkeninge to the sermon of Peter began to awake out of thys deadly sleÃ©pe of sinne when as they began to be pricked in the harte and to say vnto Peter the other apostles Men and bretheren what shall we do which examples doe teache vs y men are then said to be awake and to arise out of the slÃ©epe of sinne when as they are hartely sory for the sinne coÌ„mitted and bringe forth the fruit of repentaunce Thus you sÃ©e what is ment by slÃ©epe and arising from slÃ©epe And truely it should sÃ©eme that the apostle doth vse this Metaphor of slÃ©epinge and wakinge and of night and day that we might haue good occasions to muse and thinke of these thinges as oft as we sÃ©e the sonne â—o arise and as oft as we awake out of slÃ©epe and rise out of our beddes For euen as it is the parte of a good husband not to slugge and slepe in his bedde when as the daye appearinge offereth vnto him good occasion to arise and to go about his busines but to get vp with all conuenient spÃ©ede and to goe about such thinges as are nÃ©edeful to be done So christian men which haue any care of their owne saluation ought not to let slip the good opportunitie to do good offered to them of god but they ought to shewe them selues readye and diligent to doo those things that God hath coÌ„maunded by his worde An other reason which he vseth to perswade vs to arise nowe out of this deadly slÃ©epe is bicause our saluation is nearer then when we beleued it By which reason he sheweth that it had haue to small purpose to tel vs of these thinges and to haue exhorted vs to holinesse of life before we did beleue in Christ and had the knowledge of the truth But sÃ©eing that our saluation is nowe nearer then it was in time past we ought in no wise to neglect thys occasion By saluation he meaneth that full and perfect saluation and blessednesse which we shal be parsakers after this lyfe So that the sence and meaninge of Paule is that our fall and perfect salutation is nowe nearer then it was longe agâ—e and when we did syrst begyn to belÃ©eue For as without sayth beleefe in Christ there is no hope of saluation no remission of sinnes no eternall lyfe to be looked for so heauen and eternall lyfe beginne then to appeare when â—â—yrst God giueth a hart to belÃ©eue and eyes to sÃ©e the waye to most blessed immortalytie And the more that our fayth encreaseth and the more that we profit in the knowledge of God the nearer and nearer doo we drawe towardes heauen and moste blessed saluation When as a man diggeth in a gold myne the dÃ©eper he diggeth the nearer he commeth to gold The further that the trauayling man goeth on his way the nearer he commeth to his iournies ende So the most happy perfect saluasion that we shall enioy after thys mortal life is nearer vnto vs theÌ„ wheÌ„ we first beleued For when as we began first to beleue then did we begin to set forward in our rate iourneye to goo towards heueÌ„ but now we haue gon a great way in our iorney euery day draweth nearer nearer the day of our deth At which time our souls shal be caried vp into heaueÌ„ Again we are now nearer to the day of iudgemeÌ„t and the world is nearer an end theÌ„ it was mani a yere agoe At which time christ shall raise vp our bodyes out of the dust and make vs partakers of that kingdom whereof his blessed body is pertaker of all redy For then shall mortalyty put on immortality corrupcion incorrupcioÌ„ then may we be bould to say O death wher is thy stynge O hel where is thy victory And truely the consideracion of this full and perfecte saluacion whych is nowe nearer then when we first beleued ought to moue vs to leade a holy and Godly lyfe least that through our slouthe and necligence we lose it and giue testimony to the worlde that it doth not appertaine vnto vs. For our necligence must nÃ©edes be accounted horrible and shamefull if we now leaue of to serue GOD when as we haue but a short tyme to liue and be at the very poynt to

wickednesse and so sinne agaynst god Susanna walked also honestly wheÌ„ as the wicked Iudges would haue de flowred hir For she would not by any meanes coÌ„sent vnto theÌ„ but being in great distres she sighed said I am in trouble on euery side for if I doe this thing it is deth vnto me if I do it not I cannot escape your hands Sed melius est mihi absque opere incidere in manus hominum quam peccare in coÌ„spectu domini it is better for me to fall into the handes of men and not doe it than to sinne in the sight of the lord Zacharias the Priest Elizabeth his wife walked honestly for they were both iust before god and walked in all the commaundementes of the lord All which examples teache vs that if we will walke honestly we must endeuour to kÃ©epe the coÌ„maundements of God and althoughe we sÃ©e great store of corruptions raigninge euery where yet must not we suffer our selues to be defyâ—ed with them neyther must we saye as men commonly are wont to doe tush we must nÃ©edes doe as other men doe but we must folow the aduise that Paule giueth vs in this place that is to walke honestly as in the day and not suffer the world the flesh and the diuell to haue rule ouer vs. The second part setteth down what we must shunne and auoid if we will liue vprightly and walke honestly The thinges that we must shun be gluttony and dronkennesse chambering wantonnes strife and enuying For whosoeuer they be that are infected with these vices walk disorderly and their lyfe is odious and hatefull in the sight of god And although many men doe thinke these to be no vices or at leastwise smal faultes yet the Apostle doth condemne them for horrible and grÃ©euous sinnes and doth playnly tell vs that ther is no honesty nor any feare of God in them that spend their liues in these vices But let vs examine these vyces and speake of them orderly as they lye in the texte and then shall we better iudge whether they bÃ©e sinnes or no. The first is gluttony and dronkennesse the which two vices are to common at this daye in this realme and for the most part they are committed at prodigal fastes and banquetes and at suche tyme as this is I meane Christmas For in Christmas tyme and at great feasts gluttons and dronkerdes thincke they maye eate and drinke as much as they will and that it is lawfull for them to speake and doo whatsoeuer they thinke good Behold them therefore and you shall sÃ©e them to passe the bandes of all measure to commit such disorders as though there were no iudge in Heauen nor hell to swallowe vp wicked men after this mortall life Frâ—t they sit downe to their meate like brute beastes without any calling or thincking vpon the name of God â–ª neuer destryng god to blesse their meates They eate and drinke more then is mÃ©ete and conuenient for theÌ„ and oftentimes so much as they cannot disgest You shal sÃ©e them to play the gluttons egregiously and to â—ramme themselues like swine and they neuer leaue liftinge of the pottes and caroussinge one to another till they bÃ©e out of theyr wittes like beastes And when they haue thus armed theÌ„selues they regard neither friend nor foe but dare speake and doe what so euer commeth to minde Agayne these dronkerdes dryue GOD from theire table and companie they cannot abide to heare the name of God spoken of vnlesse it bÃ©e to take it in vayne and to blaspheme it wyth horryble and cursed swearinge Their talke and communication is nothinge else but of ribaldrye and wantonnesse of backbytynge they re neighboures and of practisinge mischeyfe agaynst this man and that man. Loe what euils dronkennes bryngeth with it But yet you shall here more abhominations then these strong drinke they esteme of more price valew theÌ„ their owne soules their god is their belly therfore they make not hast to come to the church to heare gods worde but as the prophet saith they rise vp early to goe to the wine and tauerne wheras they spend the whole day and manye times a great part of the night in swallowinge and deuouring gods benefites without order or measure If any man yet thinke that dronkeÌ„nes is no sinne then giue me leaue to tel you in fewe wordes what mischiefes and inconueniences procÃ©ede thereof A trÃ©e is knowne by the fruite soo iudge of dronkeÌ„nes by the fruites that spring threof First it hurteth the body it marreth the minde and consumeth the substance for by it many men fall into horrible disceases and soundrye times into grÃ©euous mischauÌ„ces sometimes being slaine with suddayne death as it appeareth by the miserable â–ª ende of dronken Holiphernes whose heade was cut of in his dronkennes by the hand of Iudeth The bodye with all the partes therof are so distempered that the earth theÌ„ the which ther is nothinge more stable and sure is to dronken men vnstable in so much that they thinke it moueth and goeth round and the plaine way is vnto them like a caue diche the heade is brought into that case that it cannot rule and gouerne the fÃ©ete the eyes are made dimme and firie they marre their faces and put out the true piâ—tor y god hath made they heat their lyuers and set them all on fire What causeth the head to ake the handes to trimble the tongue to stammer and that no member of the body can discharge and do his duety dronknes Therfore truely saith Salomon to whom is woe to whom is sorrowe to whom is strife to whom is murmering to whom are woundes without cause to whom is rednes of the eyes euen to them that tarie longe at the wine It also bringeth meÌ„ vnto whordome and into great daunger For the eyes of dronkerdes shal looke vpon strauÌ„ge women and theyr hart shal speake proude thinges and they shall bÃ©e as they that sleepe in the top of a mast of a shippe Though the Lord speake vnto them and say awake oh ye droÌ„kerdes wÃ©epe and houle all ye that drinke wine vnmeasurably yet are they nothing moued there with for it were almost as good to speake to a deade man as to a dronkerde Secondly the mynde is marred and sore hurt by it for dronkerdes commonly are stricken with the spirite of blockishenes and they are like vnto madbedlomes and men that haue lost their wittes It maketh them like vnto bruit beastes takinge away from them all theyr wit reason and vnderstandinge Verily it woulde be a pitious sight to sÃ©e a man to take hys knife to cut of his owne fingers and to cast them from him But a dronkerde taketh away from himselfe his owne witte reason yea and the very minde it selfe Herevppon sayth the wise man that wine taketh away the harte of man and leadeth wisemen out of the way Thirdly and last of all it consumeth the substance and bringe
