but to continue Constant to the end is an espeaciall fruite of Gods fauour Oh Constant loue of Mary that hauing once washt his feet would now fil his Tomb with her teares Oh rare Modestie that in his life would but lie at his feete vnder the Table and now was so bashfull as to stand without at the sepulcher And Oh most excellente Humillitie that woulde presume no further but to looke in See here the heauenlie loue of this blessed woman how much it differs from the vile nature of our worldlings loue We daylie see before our eyes that the wisest Prince the moste Godlie preacher the most louing parents the most bountifull Master the most kinde kinsman and the most faithfull friende If they dye howe soone are they forgotten if they bee of anye account I meane according to the worldes estimation that their ●eires maye bee the better for them then perhaps they will take this order and bee at this charge for them the Lawyer shall make his Will the Sexton hys graue the Preacher shall make a Sermon for him the parish shall haue a Feaste for him the Minister shall bee paide for buriall of him and a few weare Blacke weedes for him and so there is no more adoe for him But where are the teares of Loue all this while alas there is no such cause there is more gotten by his death than by his life rather weepe that hee liued so long than that he died so soone is it not too true that in manie places it is daylie seene the childe is sicke of the Mother and wisheth his Father in his graue ere he can learne to bee a son or leaue to be a Childe are not many Subiects vnkinde that will rathe● seeke the death of a Prince than w●epe for his want are not those kin too strange in nature that are not onely continually in lawe but seeke one anothers life for their lands are not those seruaunts most wicked that had rather wish for a mourning coate for a dead Master than a cognizaunce for the liuing and will rather betray him to his death than weepe for him when hee is gone And are not those friendes moste faithlesse that will rather giue a Iudas kisse than shedde Iosephs teares I woulde there were no such people but if there be God of his goodnes giue them grace with Mary to repent them of their wickednes and with Mary to shed the teares of loue that maye bee witnes of her faith and continuing in her Constancie with feare of presumption they maye make proofe of such Humilitie as was her commendation and may bee their comfort How much this vertue of Constancie is commended in diuers places of the holye Scriptures yee may read as in Genesis the fift Chap. and fourteentl● verse Henosh for his long walking with God was taken vppe in the heauens Eliah for his constant faithfulnes was taken vpp into the heauens Genesis the two and twentie Chapter and seuenteenth verse Abraham for his constant loue was called the Father of the faithfull and had the promise of the Almightie that of his blessed seede shuld come the blessed Messias Noah Genesis Chapter seuen and thirteenth verse for his Constancie was saued with all his Familie when all the worlde was drowned that were not in the Arke Dauid for his Constancie was left vnto vs a figure of Christ the three Children in the fornace for their Co●●●ancie were preserued in the fire Ier. the eight and thirtieth Chapter and tenth verse Ieremie for his Constancie was deliuered from the Dungeon Iob. the one and fortieth Chapter and twelfth verse for his Constancie was restored to his health made more happie than euer hee was Paul for his Constancie was rapt into the heauens where hee sawe Christ in his glorie Steuen the holy Martir of God did shine like an Angell at the time of Martirdome and Mary here for her Constancie comes to the sight of her Sauiour but of this I will God willing speake more fitly anone Now for Modestie tedious it were to trouble you with many places of commendation laid downe in 〈…〉 lie Scriptures touching that 〈◊〉 though some of them I thinke it not good to omit Sara was commended for her Modestie in calling hir husband sir Rebeccha for couering her face when shee saw Isaach Hester for her modesty was said to haue hir face shine whose bashfull feare so pleased the King Assuerus that he laid his scepter on hir necke and kissed hir and held her in his armes till her trance was ouer And here you see her Modestie so pleased God that he sent his Aungels to comfort her for you see what followes And shee bowed her selfe downe and sawe two Angels the one sitting at the head and the other at the feete O would to God that all women woulde learne this Modestie of Mary then wo●d they not so oftē fall into such p●●●●●ption as is manie times a 〈◊〉 of their confusion in steed of laughing with Michol to see Dauid daunce before the Arke of God they ●●uld weep with Mary at the Sepulcher of Christ Modestie would teach them to come to the Church with more deuotion and to heare the worde with more reuerence than I feare too manie doe now a daies how vncomely a thing it is in a maiden to be giggling and laughing and how vngratious a thing it is for a woman to be tighing and babling in the Temple of God at the time of the reading or preaching of his holie Gospell Alas what will they bee thought on among the wise the one but an idle gossip and the other a foolish girle but here you see Mary did none of these and as I said before such as Mary will doe none of these Learne then of Mary to loue Christ to bee Constant in louing Christ and to vse Mod●sty in your loue to Christ so shall you surelye please Christ and I am fully perswaded bee most comm●nded of Christians Nowe for Humilitie what is more commended in the holy Scriptures Abells sacrifice was best accepted for his Humilitie Moses beloued for his Humility Abrahams faith best regarded in his Humility Dauids patience best considered in his Humility Salomons request granted for his Humility Nabuchadnezer restored to Babell for his Humility Iob best tried beloued and made happie in his Humility Mary the virgin receiued the saluation of the Angell and the abundance of Grace in her blessed wombe for her Humilitie and Christ himselfe for his Humilite to his Father is glorified with his father many places I omit that shininglie set out the brightnes of this vertue but indeed so manie are the rare and excellent properties of this most excellent vertue as I thinke it past the capacity of man to giue it halfe sufficient comm●●dation yet thus much giuen ●aue to speake mine opinion of it It pleaseth God aboue all thinges it pleaseth man in manye thinges and displeaseth the Godlye in nothing at lest wherin it ought to
