furth the bryght beames of hys Gospell then the light of faith nourished wyth the oyle of good workes Mat. xxv so shone in the church that is in the faithful congregatiō of Christes disciples that al the world might see theyr faith mekenes pacience goodnes temperantie sobernes constaunt confessiō of Christ charitable behauoure to all men with all other their good workes ▪ glorifi their father whiche is in heauen Thus the swete perfume odour of the knowledge of Christe fylled the hole world in eueri place drew the people to run vnto him that is their most true louer euen our lord Iesus Christ Nich. wel say what ye list it is good to haue such thinges in the church Ol what callest thou the church Nic. The church mā wher we hear our deuine seruice Masse Matins Euensong Oli. The church is the cōgregatiō that beleueth professeth the name doctrine of Iesus Christ rightly deuli administeth vseth the sacraments as Christ ordained cōmaūded And so we ar the churche temple of god ▪ euery one of vs is a temple Nich. Are we the temple of god Oliuer Saint Paul saieth so ii Cor. vi ye are the temple of the lyuyng God as saith God I will dwell amongst them and walke amongst them and wyll be their God and they shal be my people Nic. And is not our parish church an holy place and the temple of god Oliu. Yes if it be holily vsed Nicho. what callest thou holily vsed Oliu. when gods woorde is preached and the people taught to know one euer liuing god Hier. vii Math. xx and his sonne Iesus Christ whom he hath sent But if gods woorde be blasphemed and railed vpon errours superstitions and idolatries maintained then will God refuse our churches chappels and al our assembles and tell vs as he tolde them at Hierusalem that we haue made his house a den of theeues And in the reuelation of S. Iohn those places that refuse Christes word and gospel Ap. xviii and maintayne false doctrine and idolatryes are called Sodome and Egipt Babilon mother of whoredomes abhominations the dwellyng of deuels and habitation of al foule spirites and a cage of al vncleane and hatefull birdes Nicho. well Oliuer wel I feare me ye wil one day smoke for this geare Oliuer whi Nicholas what should I dissēble with the that art my neighbour but plainly to tell thee the truth what are our parysh churches now Gods word is taken awai cast a side as a thing of nought and our blinde guides mumble vp their latin Matins Masse Euensong cūiuring their holi water and salt and geuing their holi bread but no word of god is read in the mother tong to the people no calling men to repentaūce and amendement of lyfe no menciō is made of Christes death nor passion but all these thinges that our most godly kinges with great labour cost and trauaile and wyth the paineful studi of the Clergie reformed in many yeres all this I say haue the popish bishops and priestes cast downe in one houre Nicho. Yea that am I glad of For now I may haue leisure to praye afore we could not pray for harkning to the priest Oliu. And didst thou herken to the priest in dede Nich. Yea that I did Oliu. Howe began he Matins Nic. what wot I now Oliu. A goodly herkener that toke hede to no worde that he spake For haddest thou taken hede thou moughtest haue learned many goodly praies For whē he began Matins saying O Lord open thou my lips Psalm l. and my mouth shal shewe foorthe thy praise Yf thou haddest learned this well hartely praied it euerye morning then should not thy mouth haue bene thus ready to railing ribawdrie talke and swearīg as it is For doubtles God openeth not suche lips but the diuell openeth them Neither is such talke gods praise but his most hiest dispraise Again what praier can be more godlye thē the verse folowing to be said at the beginning of al thi labours O Lord make spede to saue me O Lord make hast to helpe me Psa lxix And in the ende of thy day worcke to saye praysing God Glorye be to the father and to the sonne and to the holye Ghoste As it was in the beginnynge is nowe and euer shall be worlde wythout ende Amen Sure I am Nicholas ye can haue no suche learning nowe to pray I pray the what saiest thou in the Matins time Nich. Mi beades Oliue Cannest thou saye the Lordes praier Nich. Nay nor our Ladies neither I can say mi pater noster Oliu. what is pater noster Nich. Mary Pater noster what cā ye make of it Oliuer A good Nicholas Esa xxix Math. xv you honor god with your lips but your hart is far from him Nich. By God sit and we thincke on god our Ladi when we say our Pater noster pray for al our good frendes soules as wel as ye Oli. I thinke ye do But what aske ye of god when ye saye Dimitte nobis debita nostra c Nic. Maty I pray to God to haue merci vp on al Christen soules and to saue their lyues that I sare better for Oliu. That is wel done But why haue you not learned the Lordes praier in english al this while Nic. Sir Ihō had me kepe me to mi old Pater noster for he said the newe wold not abide alway And nowe I see he is a true man Oliuer And art thou glad that the Scripture is taken awai out of the churches Nicho. Yea by my trothe am I for we had neuer mery worlde synce this geare begā but hūger derth lacke of monie and much trouble eueri where Oliu. O blessed god heare the blasphemies of the wicked world Thei refused thi word O Lorde and liued a detestable life and when thou plagest them to cal them to repentaunce and amendment they receiued not thy correction but ascribed all those euils to thy woord But Nicholas Nicholas trowest thou that God wil not now viset al your sinnes and punish them with sword pestilence wilde beasts and famine Yes trulie wil he that the more sharpely because that to all your old abhominations ye adde thys blasphemie and are lyke the wemen of the Iewes in the tyme of Hieremie the prophet whō when the holye Prophet rebuked for their worshippīg of Diana an he then idole Hie. xliiii which idol thei called the quene of heauen They wyth many stubburne wordes layed al the blame of their miserable captiuitie vpon the prophet of God and vpon his preaching and said as ye say nowe They had neuer mery world since Hieremie preached but thei were punished and euen so shal ye be iii. Regū xviii The lyke dyd wycked Achab he layed all the blame of the plages that god had sent vpon Helyas the Prophet But Helyas aunswered hym It is not I that trouble

on the outwarde thinges we se so our soules are fed with the inward thinges we see not For the verye flesh of Christ is not eaten wyth our bodilye tethe nor his bloude dronke with our bodily mouthes or throtes but it is a sacramental eating done bi the soule minde not by the bodye or carnal instruments of the body Nicho. Howe can we eate but with our tethe or how can we drincke but wyth our throtes Oliu. You shal the better vnderstande thys misterye if you marke Christes dede when his holye sacrament was first instituted Christ him selfe satte at the table with his .xii. Apostles and taking the bread that stode before them euen such bread as they then vsuallye had to eate with the pascall lambe and gaue thanckes to hys heauenlye father and brake that bread and gaue it to them saying Take eate ye this is mi bodi whiche is broken for you They dyd take the bread and did eate as he commaunded them and they dyd drincke the cup that he delyuered them saying this is my bloude of the new testament which is shed for you Yet it was the next daye ere his bodye was broken and hys bloud shed vpon the crosse for vs and he sat whole amongst them at supper and him selfe did eate of that same bread which he called his body and dyd him selfe drink of that cuppe which he called his bloud therfore by faith they dyd receyue and eate his body drink his bloud They beleued that hys death and passion shoulde be for them and into remission for theyr sinnes as we now that Christ is ascended into heauen by faith doo eate his body broken and drincke his bloud shed although that he liueth sitteth on the right hand of his father But Christes veri naturall bodye is not toren with our teethe as the Capernites erroure thincketh nor yet his bloud dornk with our throtes mouthes But Nicholas haue you not a soule as wel as a bodye Nicho. Yes that I haue Oliue what maner of thing is your soule Nicho. By mi troth I can not tel Olyu I thinke Nicholas no more cā the greatest doctor of them al. And therfore because the soule is vnknowen vnto vs the scripture speaking of the soule those thinges that appertain vnto it vseth such wordes as we are aquainted with ascribeth those things vnto the soule that ar proper vnto the body So Dauid said My soule O Lorde thirsteth vnto the. And Christ saith Blessed are those that hunger and thurste for rightuousnes The harty desire of the soule is the hunger and thurst of the soule as the herty desire of meate and drincke is the hunger thurst of the bodi Therfore when a sinner feleth the burden of sinne vpon his conscience and the lacke of strength and power to do the wyl of God and is touched wyth gods spirit to be sory for this vnperfectnes and longeth fain to be deliuered this is the hunger of the soule This hunger is not satisfied tyl he heare the preaching of christes bodie broken for our sinnes that by his bloudshed our synnes ar forgiuen vs our infirmities healed we receiued into the grace and fauour of God But when we beleue this then is our hunger slaked and our thurst put away that is we feare no more dampnation but knowe that in Christ we haue our pardon Thus we eate Christ beleuing that his body was brokē for vs and that his blud was shed for our sinnes Nich. wherfore eat we the Sacrament than we maye do this by hearing the preaching Oliu. I am glad that thou askest me this question for it seemeth thou wouldest faine vnderstand something of this matter As to writinges men set to seales for a confyrmation of the same writinges so Christ set to his worde his Sacramentes for a confirmation of our faith in his worde And to put vs the better in memory of the gifte geuen vnto vs by his word he called the same Sacramentes by the name of the gift geuen vnto vs in them So circumcisiō is called the Lordes league the pascal lambe is called the Lordes passing thorow Egipt Babtisme is called the new birth and the breade and wine is called the bodie and bloud of the Lord. Therefore Nicholas marke wel this In the Lords Sacraments ther ar .ii. things an earthli thing and an heauenli In Baptisme the earthli thing is water that washeth the bodie the heauenlie thing is the blod of Christ that washeth the soule and the holie gost renuing the hole man and sanctifying him in Iesu Christ In the holi supper of the Lord the earthli thing is bread and wine that we receiue at our mouthes into our bodyes which are digested in our stomaks and bi the natural powers conuerted chaūged into our substaūce and the excrementes of thē naturalli cast forth frō vs as other meates be but the heauenlie things at the blessed bodi of our lord sauiour Iesus Christ broken for vs his bloud shedde for vs vpon the crosse which we receiue bi faith with al the blessed frutes and profites that Christ bi his deathe resurrection ascencion intercession and priesthoode hathe obtained for vs. This swetelie and comfortablie we meditate in our mindes bi the working of the holy ghost it is distribute into al our actions dedes and we are wholi receiued into Christ to be one bodie wyth him as S. Paule saieth Heb. ii He that sanctifieth and thei whiche are sanctified are al of one And againe S. Paule saith The cuppe of thankesgeuing which we blisse is partaking of the bloud of Christ and the bread whiche we brake is partaking of the body of Christ For we though we be mani yet ar one bread one bodie in asmuch as we al ar partakers of one bread Nicho. These ar good words but our sir Iohn wil denie all this and we must do as our curate teacheth vs. Oliu. what teacheth he you Nic. That he offereth vp Christ in his Masse for our frendes soules Oliu. Yea but take awai moni that ye like fooles giue him and he wil sing another song In verye dede Christ was offered for our sinnes Heb. ix x but that was once for al and then he offered him self vpō the crosse as our Crede saith after he had so by that offering satisfied vnto God neither neded he anye more to sacrifice nor we ani more sacrifices for vs. For by one oblation once offered he hath made perfect vnto God al that are sanctified Sir Iohn therefore is a false Antichrist and a disceiteful iugler in this point teacheth his owne dreame and not gods worde And I pray you what woorde of God hath sir Iohn to hang vp the Sacrament in the pixe Nicho. Mary sir it is a goodly sight in the churche Oliuer But Nicholas oure crede saith Mat. xvi Lu. xxiiii Actes i. that Christ ascēded in to heauen and sitteth on the right hand of God the

felowshyppe tel me thinckest thou not sometyme the deuil is in her tounge Syghe not man Nich. I wold she heard you you might fortune to finde him in her tong and fist both Oliu. Then I se wel he cōmeth not in her purse because the holi palme crosse is ther but if thou couldest intreate her to beare a crosse in her mouth thē he would not come there neither Nich. Saye you what you list the holy crosse is good Oliu. Nicholas I take god to recorde no man liuing more highly estemeth the signe and token that Christ dyed on then I do but the holier it is the more impietye is it that the preaching of Christes deathe and passyon that he suffered for vs shuld be set aside and the people deluded with superstitious opinions For such superstitious crossinges rather bring the dyuell to house then driue him frō vs. Nic. Yea and such as ye are maye say what ye list for the people lyked this better then your preachings and Sir Iohn hath willed the parish to bie a new crosse that we might folow the good lord again a precession Oliu. why wil he not say the English Letanie kneling in the bodi of the church that the people mai say it with him Nich. Tush we care not for it it is left of long since it is to teadious we wil folow the crosse a pression as our forefathers did Oliu. O folowers it is great piti to se one blind folow another til both fal in the pyt Nich. Sir Iohn tolde vs Math. xv that Christ said If any man wil be my disciple he must folow my crosse Oliu. I can sit Iohn thanck he is a cūning coblet The text Nicholas is thys Mat. xvi Mark viii Luke ix ● Christe declared vnto his disciples that he must go vnto Hierusalem and there suffer many thinges of the elders of the high priestes and Scribes and be killed and rise againe the thyrde day Here Peter of a good carnal loue to his master toke him aside and rebuked him saying Master fauour thy selfe this shal not be Then turned he about and sayed vnto Peter Come after me Satan thou offendest me because thou sauourest not the thinges that are of God but the things that are of men Iesus then said to his disciples If any man wil folow me let him forsake himselfe and take vp his crosse and folow me For whosoeuer wil saue his life shall lose it But whosoeuer shal loose hys life for my sake and the Gospels the same shal saue it Here ye see what it is to beare the crosse and to folow the crosse and mark wel the order of the text Christ declared that he must suffer at their hādes which in veri dede should of deutie afore al other haue gloryfied him his doctrine Nic. who wer thei Oliu. The bishops priestes lawyers as now adaies one bishop being a crafti lawier worketh more myschiefe against the truth then a. M. beside cā do And yet the same with fained wordes of hipocrisi wil make al the world beleue that he seketh gods glori the reformatiō of religiō cōmō wealth of the people Euē as Caiphas did when he said in the coūsel Ihon. xi it is expedient that one mā die for the people that the hole natiō perish not So sai they it is expedient that this doctrine of the gospell be destroyed the preachers burned so shal we agre with other realmes haue the hyest greatest in the world on our side But Caiphas was deceiued for the wai that he purposed to saue the people he destroied them and his wiked coūsel fel on his own pate as it wil do without dout vpō our hipocrits at the last Now cōmeth peter as much as in him is coūcelleth Christ to fauour himselfe But then Christ preached this sermō To folow Christ that those that wil be Christs disciples must folow him that is as Christ most earnestli cōstantli did the vocatiō that his heauenly father apointed him traueling frō place to place preachīg teachīg the wil of god vnto the people calling them to repentaūce amendment of life so won soules vnto the heauēli father so must al Christes disciples do theyr vocation with faith diligence And wold to God oure byshoppes woulde well looke vpon thys texte for it principallye toucheth them And to take vp hys crosse dailye is to suffer with patience the miserable afflictions and tribulatiōs pouertie neede sorowe syckenes pryson losse of goodes catels frends and al other that god laieth vpon vs. To take these things with quiet mindes knowledging that thei are laid vpon vs for our sins to kil sinne in vs to mortifi our fleshly lustes and apetites to raise and sturre vp true repentaunce hartie inuocation vpon god and paciently and faithfully to waite for deliueraunce at gods hand Thys is to take vp our crosses and to folow Christ euen to denie our selues and to lose our liues for hys word and gospels sake This is another maner of peece of worke then to carye palme crosses in our pursses or to go a procession after a tinne or copper or siluer crosse This S. Paul reioyseth in ●i cor iiii saying we alwaies beare about in our bodies the dying of the Lord Iesus that the life of Iesu might alwaies appeare in our bodies And again he saith ▪ Gala. vi God forbid that I shuld reioyce but in the crosse of oure Lorde Iesu Christe whereby the world is crusified vnto me and I vnto the world that is the world greatli estemeth outward ceremonies and shewes of holines as the Iewes mutch boasted the circūcision of the flesh and neglected the new creature of the mind but Paul al true Christians reioyce not in sutche outward shewes of holines but in the true holynes of the hart and minde and espetiallie in this high benefit and gyft of god that they ar called to be partakers with Christ of the miseries and troubles of this world And as the world euer despiced Christe and coūted him accurssed and so put him to the most vile deathe of the crosse so hath it euer done by Paule and al the Apostels and all other that folow their doctryne These must be dispiced and persecuted of the world ▪ and not counted worthy cōmon breath ▪ aier And Paule his folowers the disciples of Christ againe cōdemne the worlde by the iust sentence of gods worde because they refuse Christ cast aside the doctrine of his gospel and chose rather to be leade in the darcke dreames and mistye imaginations of hipocrits then in the cleare lyght of Gods holy scripture and veritie thus is Paule crucified vnto the world the world is crucified vnto Paul God knowith few bear the crosse thus and yet this is it that Christ requireth of vs to be his disciples to folowe hym to denye our selues and to beare our crosses
