which may bring vs to immortalitie where wee shall neuer carry any more burthens but sing praises of the most high continually And forasmuch as our life while wee liue in this worlde is subiect to many trials and temptations as also that man euen against himselfe is alwaies fighting the powers of his minde and body are alwaies at defiance one with the other let vs therefore labor against our flesh that the spirit of error do not ouerturn vs. Lucifer being the chiefest Angel because he would be equal with his maker was cast downe into the lowest place in hell but these men will sit in the iudgement seate of God and crie damnation damnation as if they had some secrete inspiration from the Lords counsell But will not God cast them downe Will hee not confound their pride that pul motes out of their brothers eye but forget the beames which is in their owne Yet I speake not this to defend non residencie for as there be that may iustly say Malum est nobis esse hîc So there are also that think it a pleasant life though they haue sufficient maintenance for their degree in the country abroad to liue at ease and so in their life they expresse this saying Bonum est nobis esse hîc It is an easie life to liue here I muse how they blush not when men call them Ministers when indeed they neuer do minister and these men are alwayes learning and neuer come to any perfection and if they take neuer so great pains to the outward appearance of men yet for all this they are like vnto the candle which beeing put vnder a bushell giueth small light or none at all O what greeuous burthens are in England whereof this is not the least for such liue vpon the bloud of the slaine of the people Those therefore that bee guiltie in this I accuse none I speake it generally to all lette them take heede of it and I would to God that euen in this their day they would consider the time of their visitation and so they would considering the night is past and the day is come put away the workes of darkenes and put on the armour of light The husbandman of whome the parable consisteth in the Gospell after hee had once dressed the trees of his garden amongst the which in one he had most delight and therfore tooke more paines in pruning of it than of the other supposing indeed to haue receiued the most fruite at it but when the time came beholde there was nothing vppon it but leaues Then at the request of his seruant he let it stand another yere and at the time appointed looked for fruit and lo there was nothing Then the husbandman saide the third yeare cut it down least it also make the ground barren The Lord our God who by his great mercie and goodnes hath planted vs in a famous vineyard and hath taken great paines in pruning of vs hath looked for fruite but behold the bitter rootes of dissention Now the Lorde expecting daily our amendment hath let vs stand still in the florishing vine not for three yeeres but for 20. or 30. and aboue and yet behold no fruite but leaues in the best part or else wilde grapes good for nothing but the furnace Now what iudgement remaineth but that we should be cut vp least wee also make the country and the people barren amongst whom we liue But I fear me this long forbearing is but to bring a greater destruction and as a man would say to fetch his blow the further that his stroke may be the greater By this which is spoken you may partly perceiue that euery man both by nature by the course of his life hath a great burthen But there be many mo burthens beside these for vsurie is a burthen The Vsurer can say for the defence of himselfe I do nothing but that which the lawe will allow although indeed vnder a pretence of lawe hee meane most deceitfully But you knowe that Iudas vnder a pretence of holines betraied his master and so those Vsurers eate vp the people sucking the bloud of them and all this vnder the colour and pretence of lawe But though euerie one do sinne and haue a great burthen yet notwithstanding as a broken peece of gold is not to bee cast away so wee should beare with the infirmities of our brethren helping their weaknes so it would followe that we should beare one anothers burthen for he that seemes to stand let him take heed that he fall not 1.
