stead of a lamb hauing power to leaue his life and take it Iohn c. 10. v. 18. Hebr. c. 7. v. 3 23 24. Wherefore our sinnes shall not bruse vs and presse vs to death by their importable weight whilest Iesus easeth vs of that burden an endlesse comfort Our sinne cannot accuse vs and condemne vs to death as law requireth because Iesus hath cancelled the detbooke disanulled the acts that Sathan obiected and giuen out a sufficient quittance and warrant for that payment a blessed pennie and no Saints but Christs penny coyned in the third heauens and beset with this posie or embleme mercy not merite Neuerthelesse this caueat and exception must euer be redie in our hearts and lips to iudge and confesse that sinne remayneth in vs and is not taken away seeing we are a very lumpe of sinne and heape of offence but worthie to feele the fire and hammer in Ieremie ca. 23. the punishment and reward of sinne is taken away the plagues appointed for sinne are swept and caried out of the way and what is the plague or rewarde of sinne but euerlasting death but perpetuall torments in hell but infinite woes and miseries in the bondage of the deuill but continuall affliction of the minde but insufferable vexation and anguish of the bodie but most horrible confusion and most lamentable execution of bodie and soule for euermore Such is the fruite of our sinnes and transgressions which we committe dayly this punishment is due for the sinne of the world and worldly men Rom. c. 5. v. 12.

All the world is against vs but thy mercie is greater then all the worlde Ã´ thy mercie is sweete and infinite thy seruants Ã´ God accuse vs and behold thy word is aboue thy seruants thy subiects and inferiors are about to hurt vs but thy omnipotent superioritie can ouerrule them that which they doe thy maiestie can vndoe that they binde thy wisdome can loosen And though this bountie be too great for vs yet is it little in respecte of thee let thy goodnes Ã´ Lord be still our defence thy mercie and louing kindnesse in Iesu Christ thy deare sonne our saluation let thy left hand hould vp our heads and thy right hand imbrace vs imbrace vs the work of thy own hands as thou didst once make vs of earth like thee so make vs by restoring now thy image similitude in vs of prodigal sonnes outcasts partakers of thy table and heires of thy kingdome because thy word hath condeÌ„ned vs holy father mightie iudge pronouÌ„ced vs to be without all help let thy blessed sonne Iesus be our hope whose vertue is beyond all help of man in whom we haue help when we caÌ„not help our selues let him baile vs and repriue vs and get vs a pardon for our sinnes that with our soules and bodies iointly and either of them seuerally we may serue him in holines all the dayes of our liues and sing Psalmes to thee Ã´ thou most mighty according to thy worship and renowne shal the dead praise thee or tel of thy truth in the night and in the darke shall thy noble acts bee knowne in the graue and thy mercy in the land where all things are forgotten vp Lord and helpe vs Ã´ king of heauen when wee call vpon thee which sâ—â—itest hell vpon the cheeke bone and sauest IsraÃ«l from his enemies saue vs Ã´ God for thy mercy sake Ã´ saue vs and that right soone for we are in our selues brought to great misery saluation onely belongeth to thy name and thy blessing is vpon thy people but we are thy people and the sheepe of thy pasture Ã´ preserue vs from the snare of the hunter and from the noysome pestilence the snare once broken we shall be deliuered and thousands shall fall on both sides but it shall not come nigh vs or if it come it shall not hurt vs or if it hurt thou art our Physician to heale vs to asswage our ambustions to poure oile into our wounds to bind vp our maymed parts carrie vs to thy euerlasting Inne to boorde and dwell with thee for euer Why art thou then so heauy Ã´ my soule and why art thou so disquieted within me Ã´ put thy trust in the lamb of God that daily and hourely taketh thy sinne vpon him and carrieth it away and burieth it where it can neuer reuiue and spring againe Iesus hath redeemed vs neither with siluer nor golde but with his most pretious bloud and water once offered vpon the crosse and he bringeth vs from the prison of sinne he can doe it by his power and he may doe it by the iust claime and title and interest he

of God for greater is he that is in you then he that is in the world they are of the world and therefore speake they of the world and the world heareth them we are of God hee that knoweth God heareth vs he that is not of God heareth vs not hereby know we the spirit of veritie the spirit of errour thus much S. Iohn in that place O let vs still and still more and more eschue abandon this spirit of error this spirit of the world this spirit of Antichrist and euer imbrace and acknowledge the spirit of truth the spirit of God the spirit of Christ O let vs for the loue of God for the loue of Christ for the loue of our owne soules euermore seeke the lambe of God follow the lambe of God behold and imbrace the lambe of God looke for the health of our bodies the saluation of our soules the safegard of both not in or from or by any other but only in and from and by the only lambe of God repose our whole beliefe trust and felicity in the lambe of God that taketh away the sin of the world that redeemeth saueth vs wretched and wicked sinners of the world that with his owne precious bloud hath paid the great ransome for the release of our miserable bondage and captiuity vnder the yoke of sinne and hath suffered that great insufferable passion due to vs sinners to bring vs vnto heauen vnto God vnto himselfe sitting on the right hand of the father in all maiestie power and glorie for euer and euer Thus you haue a short confutation of those vngratious worldlings that either with wilfull or no better then beastly violence or with witlesse desperate blasphemy or with fond and obstinate self-loue haue proued themselues the most indiscreet rulers the most vnskilfull writers the most vile and vngodly sinfull men that euer were called men or euer liued in the world I meane first those vngodly antichristian hellish Aristotelists Auerroists Plinians call them in word as they were in deed men of more subtilty then surety which denying the immortalitie of the soule accounting it no better then heat and breath mouing and remouing the body only haue ignorantly and preiudicially denied the finall cause of Christs sorrowfull humiliation and glorious resurrection which saued our soules from damnatioÌ„ and death in the nethermost noisome deadly pit the lake of torment the prison of misery and all thraldome world without end and defending the eternity of the world iudging it without beginning and without ending which vndoubtedly was fashioned finished in six daies as we surely proue by the Genesis of Moses the wonderfull prophet of God the wisest lawmaker in IsraÃ«l the mightiest captaine of armes by the HexaÃ«merons of diuers both Greeke and Latin doctors and fathers by our Apostolicke beleefe most stedfastly builded on God the father almightie maker of heauen and earth the sea and all that is in them at whose last comming the earth shall melt away like wax and the heauens shal be folded vp like a garment haue defaced with all their might the maiestie of Christs ascension and denied the eternitie of his last dreadfull iudgement both which wee reuerence and magnifie with all godly loue and Christian zeale hauing visiblie and faithfully seen the one with the Apostles eyes and vnfaynedly looking for the other with liuely heartes with spirituall hunger and thirst with desire to leaue this mad and drunken world to liue infinitely raigne with him in euerlasting life Then I meane those hypocriticall Pharisies those impious Iewes and Iewish confederats succeeding the heathenish infidels and pagans in course and time of yeares but farre before them in all wickednes sinne in euery notorious iniquitie and enormitie that did treacherously and sophistically seeke to vndermine Christ and to take him in his words that in the gall of bitternes and bond of impietie mocked and spitte at him and most grieuously and vniustly disgraced him in spite of heauen and earth of angels and men euen as God had appointed in his secrete ordinance and wonderfull prouidence before the foundation of the world was layd that in the pride and rage of Iudaisme in the height of anger and depth of malice whipped him like an outcast the sonne of God crowned him with thorns like a mad bedlem the innocent lambe of God nay led and perced and wounded him to death like a hurtfull beast the triumphant king of angels and men mightie Sauiour of the world But they soone felt the heauy intollerable hande of God for these so Iewish and diuelish abhominations and when their brasen faces would not blush nor their iron heartes relent the very stones of the temple were riuen asunder the faire vaile was rent in twaine froÌ„ the top to the bottom those sensles stones were more soft and pensiue then the Iewes the dead carcases were more tenderly and mercifully affected toward Christ crucified at his one and last exclamation in one hower then the elders of Iury were in all their life time which heard many heauenly admonitions diuers happy promisses sundry blessings and cursings yet liued and died in their gainesayings being at last themselues as stones and carcasses reiected throwne out and troden vpon hauing their children and cities vtterly destroyed and their land layd wast and those mockings and spittings that thorny crowne and vineger and gall those nayles and that speare and that crosse and all the rods and crosses that were laid vpon Christ haue euer since bene laide vpon them being esteemed the most odious abiects of all men the very roges and runnegates of the earth against whom all men haue set themselues euen as they oppose and set themselues against all men like IsmaÃ«ites and Edomites more vile in Gods eyes then dunge and clay on the ground and all good and godly Christians are inuincibly confirmed in Christian faith by the shamefull ouerthrow of those Iewish and christians which is come to passe according to the gospell of Iesus Christ for his kingdomes sake and our endlesse comfort and instruction to him therefore be prayse for euer Then I meane the Turkes and turkish religion or rather hereticall superstition that in steed of noble prophets on our side hath but one fugitiue monke but the same one false monke on their part to defend it against our so many learned and constant professours that hath no history for his defence and in that respect condemneth historians that could neuer get any sober and learned orator to maintaine his cause and therfore disaloweth the graces and power of rhetorick that cannot be defended by disputation and therefore forbiddeth all disputations that is forced against his owne will law to prefer Christ before Mahomet our mercifull king before his bloudie captaine for honest and honorable birth for vertuous and wonderfull acts for blessed and heauenly translation himselfe being borne basely and liuing vitiously and dying of lewd causes more like a ruffian

euen I sent from the wildernesse as Esaias hath told you c. 40. v. 3. and I commend him of conscience vprightly not of any affection fondly and partially in regard of mine owne dutie and office not of any worldly affectation as you carnally and worldly suppose I will preach the law whereof the Lord hath commaunded me Prepare the way of the Lord and make his pathes straight A notable signe of true obedience and harmelesse simplicity He is sure to pay the best ioint of his body except he leaue to sing this song but neither life nor death nor present power nor any cause shal remoue him from the loue of God which he hath in Christ Iesus A resolution no lesse good then constant and therefore reuerently and religiously to bee resolued of vs according to Gods owne truth not according to mans fancie Wherefore he telleth them yesterday and to day and to morowe that Iesus Christ is the same yesterday to day and for euer and that he must testifie this of Christ to day and the next day and for euer as he did yesterday for the time of his prophesying was almost at an end therefore he would plie his businesse while he might which began in the 15. yeare of Tyberius Caesar when Christ began to be about thirty yeares old was finished ere the same whole yeare was expired Luke c. 3. v. 1 20 23. So wonderfully grew the word of God that in so short a time increased so greatly And albeit the Baptist taught thus freely preached thus vehemently and loudly like a crier in the desert for that was his surname ab officio yet hee did not willingly and wittingly thrust and throwe himselfe into danger as many hote and vnskilfull harebraines vse to doe few or no wise godly men euer did except they were extraordinarily sent from God as he here was for Elias fled from Iezabel 1. Kings c. 19. v. 3. and Obadias hid an hundred prophets of the Lord. 3. Kings c. 18. v. 13. and Paul alone fled from Damascus at a window in a basket through a wall 1. Corinth c. 11. v. 33. then he and Barnabas fled from Iconium to the regions round about Lycaonia Acts c. 14. v. 6.
