cordis tuntio pectoris the smiting of the breast is the stamping beating downe and brusing of the heart This hath often teares as in Hannah who was in bitternesse of soule and prayed vnto the Lord and wept sore which is the foode of the soule and which feasted Christ more then all the prouision of Mary Magdalen besides while we eate the bread of sorrow drinking the wine of compunction wee hunger and thirst after heauenly things and shall be comforted This is the constant alimonie of the righteous at dinner and supper in life and death in prosperity aduersity The Prouerb is true 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Boni autem valde flebiles viri In this case was Iob when his life abhorred bread and his soule dainty meate When hee complained that his gall was powred out on the ground Thus Dauid when his soule was sore vexed and he cried Thou O Lord how long When his expectation was not satisfied How long shall I take counsell in my soule When hee powred out his complaint before God and shewed before him his trouble but now he is deliuered and his soule is powred out in thanksgiuing How iustly may this condemne many who are so foolish and slow of heart that they neuer stirre vp their soules to the seruice of God but suffer the body like a thiefe to rob it The body is deified but the soule pined and famished no bread of life is sought to strengthen her no Gospell of peace to comfort her no deuotion to cherish her Some sell their soules as couetous vsurious Monsters who for wealth will commit any rauine robberie theft periurie false merchandise simonie There is not a more wicked thing then a couetous man for such an one setteth his owne soule to sale Some cast away their soules as the enuious and furious for nothing The couetous man hath wealth The Epicure pleasure The ambitious proud vpstart honour The Glutton meate and drinke but the enuious man consumes himselfe in pining being a thorne-hedge couered with nettels Some lay their soules to pawne to Sathan that they may swimme in the world prosperously and wantonly running on in sinne so long being deafe to God caring neither for words nor iudgements so soked in sinne that they cannot redeeme these pawnes because they can not repent Yet God crieth by his Prophets Oh doe not this abominable thing that I hate but if we encline not our eare to turne from our wickednes his furie must be powred forth to cut off man and woman childe and suckling and leaue none to remaine Wee may forget but God remembreth vs our Fathers our Kings our Princes and the people of the Land and woe vnto their soule who declare their sinne as Sodome for they haue rewarded euill vnto themselues Which may teach vs to remember the Lord in powring out our soules in all deuout and humble acknowledgement of his mercies least our soules abhorring him his soule loathe vs. It is reported that at a Sermon of Vincentius Ferr one was so moued in spirit that his face shined on the suddaine very glorious O that when we heare the great workes of the Lord wee would stirre vp the graces of God within vs that the Spirit of God might not be quenched in vs. Nothing is more precious then the soule within vs which made Dauid pray Mine eyes are vnto thee O God the Lord In thee is my trust Leaue not my soule destitute Arise O Lord disappoint him cast him downe Deliuer my soule from the wicked which is thy sword O keepe my soule and deliuer me Let mee not be ashamed for I put my trust in thee In a well disposed Christian the body is seruant the soule is Mistris but in an infected person the body is predominant Take heede of this Plague The body is but the weight and burthen of the soule while this oppresseth the soule is in prison Forget not the exhortation which speaketh to you as children Forget not to entertaine strangers for thereby some haue entertained Angels vnawares If we reiect knowledge and forget the Law of our God he will also forget our children O be not as Ierusalem hauing her filthinesse in her skirts she remembred not her last end therefore she came downe wonderfully she had no comforter the enemie magnified himselfe Before we be driuen to remember the Lord in farre countries Let vs set our heart and our soule to seeke the Lord If we returne to the Lord with all our heart with all our soule and pray our supplications shall bee heard our cause maintained and wee shall be forgiuen Remember this late mercy in the midst of Iudgement Extoll the admirable lenity of the Lord towards vs who hath gleaned but some when all feared to be cut downe The yeares are not many since the Lord with a famine did shake many parts of this Land a terrible sword which made Iulius Caesar in all his warres to conquer more by famine then the sword It made Lysimachus in Thracia to yeeld himselfe captiue to Domitian the Emperour it brought vp that bloody Law amongst the Soldiers of Cambises marching toward the Aethiopians that the Tenth among themselues should be killed in the Army to asswage hunger It made the Roman Mothers eate their owne children The Athenians vexed by Sylla to eat the greene grasse of the fields and mosse of the walles Alexander to eate his Camels Elephants and other beasts that carried luggage for the warres the Hymmi to eate their Dogges It made Abraham flye from Canaan to Egypt Isaack to Abimelech King of the Philistines and all the sonnes of Iacob to goe to Pharaoh King of Egypt God like the Physitian maketh vs fast to recouer health Vpon Famine haue wee beene so humbled as wee should haue beene The yeares are not many therefore since the the Lord threatned vs with another sword that of a Barbarous Nation to deuoure vs how soone was it forgotten This yeare therefore the Lord seeing vs wantonly secure and sleeping and snorting in our sinnes drew another sword against many parts of the Land by a Plague This is the snare of the Hunter it catcheth suddenly some walking some feeding some sporting some waking some sleeping It is the terrour by night breeding many terrours and feares in the night the night being a solitary time and solitarines increaseth feares the night being a time of Incendiaries and Robbers which set vpon men vnawares a time of feare in regard of the weaknes of the Imagination or of terrible dreames or sudden affrights a time terrible to trauelers where the least noise amateth them Per noctem metantur agros sonus omnis aura Exterrent pennaque leui commota volucris It is the arrow that flyeth by day Sagitta Angeli mortis quam emittit interdiu the arrow
in the sight of all flesh beloued of God and men His memoriall is blessed There is a remembrance of iniuries whereas the best remedy of an iniury is forgetting And at Athens it was enacted a decree obliuionis iniuriarum of forgetting of iniuries for when Thrasibulus had freed the Citie of thirty Tyrants and restored it to peace hee made a Law that none should remember any iniuries past which the Athenians call the Law of obliuion and this we reade of the Emperour Augustus who though of a most tenacious and retentiue memory Iniurias tamen cum primis obliuisceretur could yet forget wrongs as soone as they were offered To this end is that remembrance thou shalt not auenge nor beare any grudge against the children of thy people that remember thy end and let enmity passe that as when Bees fight the casting of a little dust vpon them endeth their strife so the remembrance of our end by common mortality in pestilence or otherwise still toling for the last gaspe should ring out the death of malice burie all wrongs in the graue of obliuion neuer to rise vp againe But I must not forget the remembrance of God the remembrance of vs here Hee remembreth his mercie and truth towards Israel Hee remembreth vs and visiteth vs and reuengeth vs of our persecutors hee taketh vs not away in his long suffering Hee being gracious and full of compassion hath made his wonderfull workes to be remembred Therefore hee commanded that a golden pot of Manna should be kept to remember what bread the children of Israel had in the wildernes The Sacrament of the Lords supper is a remembrance of the death passion of our blessed Sauiour All the feasts enioyned Israel required of them a memoriall of Gods benefits done vnto them The twelue Cakes on the pure table before the Lord were for a memoriall Dauid appointed the Leuites to record and to thanke and praise the Lord God of Israel They that escaped of the sword when they were scattered were to remember him among the Nations The two stones vpon the shoulder of the Ephod were for a memoriall vnto Aaron Ieremie remembring his afflictions miserie and wormewood and Gall his soule was humbled yet he hoped Ionas remembred the Lord and his soule fainted when no doubtfull earthly naturall helpe could release him when his father mother friend land sea his soule all had forsaken him yet the Lord tooke him vp and gaue him better hope Isai made mention of the louing kindnes of the Lord and the praises of the Lord his great goodnesse and multitude of louing kindnesses Neuer did Dauid more truly remember Ierusalem If I forget thee O Ierusalem let my right hand forget her cunning If I doe not remember thee let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth a greater torment hee wished not to his enemie in the Poet Nec possis captas inde referre manus Sic fit in exitium lingua proterua tuum God hath plagues in store for them that forget him They shall bee deliuered into the hands of their enemies as the Israelites forgetting the Lord were sold into the hands of Sisera they wither in their greenesse before any other hearb their hope being cut of They forget God and stretch out their hands to a strange God and then God searcheth this out they shall haue their sins set in order before them and bee torne in pieces and none shall deliuer them they haue forgotten God and trusted in falshood therefore their skirts shall bee discouered vpon their face that their shame may appeare Though then thou forget to take bread for a Iourney as the Disciples did or forget thy friend in thy mind and be vnmindfull of him in thy riches Remember the Lord. Thy brethren may be put farre from thee thine acquaintance estranged thy kinsfolke may faile and thy familiar friends forget thee thy Louers may forget thee and not seeke thee there may be none to plead thy cause but the Lord remembreth vs prouoke him not therefore forget not the euerlasting God that brought you vp grieue not Ierusalem that nursed you There are some things that especially affect the memorie and we shall find all singular in God Assidnum Mirum Cognatum Dulce Decorum Triste Nouum Munus Amor Aetas Spes Timor Auctor Are we mindfull of things frequent and vsuall In God wee liue moue and haue our being Of things wonderfull His Name is wonderfull The Mighty God The Euerlasting Father Of things neere vs or persons alyed Wee are all his off-spring Of pleasant things O taste and see how the Lord is good Doe wee remember Faire Beautifull Goodly things He is fayrer then the children of men Sadde and sorrowfull things Behold and see if there be any sorrow like that of the Son of God Gifts There is a New-yeeres gift The Lord hath created a New thing in the earth A woman shall compasse a man Loue God so loued the world that he gaue his onely begotten Sonne Carry wee in memorie our age wee are his deare children as new borne babes Any thing we hope for No hope to that for the Sauiour who shall change our vile bodies Any thing we feare There is one wise and greatly to be feared the Lord sitting vpon his throne Our Benefactours Euery good and perfect gift is from the Father of lights King Dauid had infirmities and did beare them but this was his supporter I will remember the yeares of the right hand of the most High I will remember the workes of the Lord Surely I will remember thy wonders of olde Wonderfull are the workes of Nature but more wonderfull are the workes of grace in our Iustification A wonder it was that the dead was raysed but a greater wonder that a poore fisherman whose hands were practised in his old torne netts and feete in the slime and mud of the sea should haue the power on a suddaine of conuerting soules A wonder that 's aboue all wonders that the Creator should become a creature with his bloud restore the lost sheepe from death to life yet thus He hath remembred his holy Couenant to deliuer vs from our Enemies Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not haue compassion on the sonne of her wombe they may yet God will not forget vs. He remembreth vs that wee may remember him This made those who receiued blessings vnexspected from God to keepe some speciall memoriall as Leah conceiuing and bearing a sonne shee called his name Reuben for shee sayd The Lord hath looked vpon my affliction now therfore my husband will loue me She bare another sonne and called him Simeon Because the Lord hath heard that I was hated He hath giuen
