that description of Christs comming which is there laid downe Till that time all enimies shall not be taken away Soules vnder the altar cry how long Lord holy and true dost thou not iudge and avenge our blood on thē that dwell on the earth And it was answered they should rest till the number of their brethren were fulfilled c. Hereto agreeth that of our Saviour when the sonne of man commeth shall he find faith on the earth Wherefore though Antichrist be not quite abolished wee must take that which God hath begun in good part knowing that our full deliverance and his everlasting overthrow shall bee wrought at Christs comming Here may we learne that when all strength in the world besides is laid together yet is it nothing of force to displace Satan vnlesse the word of God and preaching of his truth be adioined It is indeed a great blessing of God that Kings make good and wholsome lawes for the suppressing of Idolatry and promoting of Religion as it is a great plague either to haue no Iudges or to haue such as was Gallio who when Paule would haue answered the accusation of the Iewes told them that if it were a matter of wrong c. but if it bee a question of wordes and names and of your law c or as Festus Questions of superstition and of one Iesus Yet when all power wisdome and pollicie is laid together it appertaineth alone to God the lawgiver to change the harts The want of preaching of Gods law is the cause why so many soules among vs are not yet delivered from the power of Antichrist why after so long calling so few are willing to come why the Man of sinne is not overthrowne even because we haue fought against spirituall adversaries more with the weapons of man then of God We accuse Turke and Pope for enforcing men by violence bands and death to beleeue their religion yet wee rather practise mans meanes then the way God hath appointed to ingender faith in mens consciences Bucer hath said that Humane lawes may well make hypocrites but faithfull Christians the word of God alone maketh Which I would they had considered who haue stoared the Church of God with dry nurses The dragons stretch out their breasts and giue sucke to their young ones but these like the Ostrich which leaueth her egs are become carelesse and cruell hardned against their young as though they were not theirs When the Sonne of the Shunamite was dead no reason of her husband nor heat of harvest could hold her but she would to Carmel to the man of God Carmel was a place whereas the children of the Prophets vsed to meete to haue conference apart Elizeus sent his servant with his staffe as others wil haue their deputies but the woman lay at the feet of the Prophet would not rest till she had him to come himselfe with her If the people abroad knew the sicknes their soules are in for want of their Prophets so well as this woman felt the griefe for her sonne departed I doubt not but even though it were in the heat of harvest they would come to Carmel and lie at the feet of their Prophets and protest as shee did not to depart and leaue them It was as much as Elizeus himselfe could doe to bring life into the child Secōdly we may hence note that though vngodlines prosper for a while yet God will bring each worke to iudgement The Deluge Sodome Egypt may be proofes hereof How often hath this scepter of England changed The cause of those in Scripture is laid downe because all flesh had corrupted his way And Gildas writeth of our country that before these plagues came on it the corruption was so great that who so would keepe a good conscience must haue seperated himselfe as Enoch The like doth Mathew Paris write before the comming of the Danes when Poperie had the preheminence so that all men said great is Antichrist then came the destruction on them God even brought out of their bowels the meanes whereby that state was overthrowne Luther out of a cloyster Wolsey had leaue from Rome to pull downe the lesser houses H. 8. beginning where the Cardinall left proceeded to the greater till he left not one stone vpon another so that each man may take vp a proverbe against them thus hath the Lord done to thē because the feare of the Lord was not in those places Now as Iude teacheth vs that Sodome is left for an example to vs. And Paul 1. Cor. 10. speaketh of the Iewes so are these also for vs he that chastiseth the nations shall not he punish Many mighty are the sinnes of our land Oppression how many haue built them goodly houses whereof the first stone lieth in blood many ioine house to house field to field till there be no place that they may be placed by thēselues in the midst of the earth ever labouring about such things as make vs vnwilling to die But the cry of the poore goeth vp and the damnation of these men sleepeth not We haue seene Popery shaken and I am perswaded that there be many here which shall see Gods iudgements on these vngodly men which shall be such that it shall make each ea●e that heareth it to tingle There be three things saith one that gape after our death our friends for our goods the worms for our body and the divell for our soule And there be three that follow our goods to the beere our friends to the Divell the wormes to the graue Wherefore seeing the fashion of the world passeth away let vs not set our hearts on the things thereof yet so that Iacobs rule be not forgotten of vs. When shall I looke to mine owne house this so that it be still ioined with godlinesse which hath the promise both of this life and of that which is to come And then God being in the midst of vs we shall not bee moved though nations rage and kingdomes be moved for the Lord of hosts shal be with vs the God of Iacob shall bee our refuge Remember David who in his affliction was counselled by his friends to vse humane and fleshly means to follow pollicy and wisdome of man the Prophet answereth I trust in God how say you then to my soule get thee as a bird to that hill I trust in God saith hee c. A lesson for vs to learne when wee bee perswaded of a change of trouble or danger flesh and blood biddeth vs fly to that hill Vse these vnlawfull meanes this is the only way to escape get to this hill But if that spirit be in vs that was in Dauid we will answer I trust in God how dare yee then say to my soule fly as a bird to this hill These words such alluremēts of flesh blood cānot availe with that soule
