being a charge so weighty and the greatest of all the Lord both by the pastour and people is to bee prayed vnto to strengthen his minister with the spirit of boldnes and constancie that his forehead may be as the adamant Ezech. 3.9 and harder then the flint that he be not afraid at the lookes of men but may boldly enter into the house of Israel and in the feare of the Lord declare vnto them the fulnes of his wil which I besÃ©ech him vniuersally to graunt vnto all the professours and preachers of his holy word Yet one other thing wee haue here to note in that Christ saith that hee must worke the workes of him that sent him Oportet mo operari eius opera qui misit me that is such works by which it might appeare that he was the sonne of God and sent of God the father into the world according to that written in the fifth of Iohn Iohn 5.36 The workes which the father hath giuen me to finish beare witnes of me that the father sent me Iohn 6.38 And in the chapter following I came down from heaueÌ„ not to do mine owne will but his will which hath sent me Whereby we are taught that wee must not worke such works as we like best our selues but such as God in his word hath commaunded that we may be knowne to be the sonnes of God For our workes are naught and our doings peruerse Our waies are crooked and our cogitations euill Esa 55.8 My thoughtes are not your thoughtes neither are your waies my waies saith the Lord. For as the heauens are hygher then the earth so are his waies higher then our waies and his thoughtes aboue our thoughts And this much of the first argument or reason of Christe whiche hee deriueth Ab officio from hys office and duetie The second argument of Christ deriued from the time Now I come to the second which hee deriueth Ã tempore from the time conteined in these wordes Donec dies est while it is day which argument or reason of Christ is deduced from the commoÌ„ vse and custome of men who when they take any taske in hand are wont to apply and followe the same in the light of the day least lingering the time they be preuented with the darkenes of the night Now if men are wont to be so careful to finish that which they take in hand while it is day which concerneth the vse of maÌ„ how much more belonged it vnto Christ before his death and passion to finish the workes of the father For saith he The night coÌ„meth when no man can worke Venit nox Ã¹m nemo lotest opeari In which words Christ doth signifie that he may not omit occasion and opportunitie to worke for that the time would come when he should away Which thing too he declareth more at large by a Similitude comparing the time of his presence to the Day and the time of his departure to the night Now the day is the time to worke and the night is the time to rest HÃ©e then that worketh not in the daye while it is light shall not worke in the night when it is darke The like similitude he vseth afterward in the leuenth chapter speaking to the disciples in this manner Iohn 11.6 If a man walke in the daye hee stumbleth not because hee seeth the light of this world But if a man walke in the night he stumbleth Because there is no light in him In both which it is apparant that he calleth the day the time which in his humaine nature hee ought to spend here vpon earth in the businesse of the Father that he calleth the night the houre of death from which once raised he carried with him his body triumphantly into heauen But yet Christ here compareth the houre of his death vnto the night not because he should yeeld and giue place againe vnto SathaÌ„ the prince of darkenes and God of this world Ephes 6.12 2. Cor. 4.4 whoÌ„ before hee had spoiled and ouercome through the force of his death and passion but because then being dissolued from the troubles of this life he passed to eternall rest which now he enioyeth with the father till the latter day in which he shall come againe with maiesty and great glory in the cloudes Math. 24.30 with a shoute with the voice of the Archangel 1. Thes 4.16 and with the truÌ„pet of God to iudge both the quicke and the dead at which time as S. Paul teacheth al things shall be made subiect vnto God 1. Cor. 15.28 that God may be al in all We may not here contentiously reasoÌ„ and dispute whether Christ also after his death did not the workes of the Father or whether yet to this day he be not the light of the world Quandiu fuero in mundo Lux sum mundi for the Similitudes of Christ are simply and plainely to be conceiued and not to be wrested hither and thither Christs meaning is then that he must worke the workes of the Father while hee is in this life signifying that shortly by death he should be taken away who yet to this day shineth vnto his elect and still worketh in them by the power grace and vertue of the holy Ghost and will do to the end and consummation of the world according to that most comfortable promise of his in the last of Matthew Math. 28.20 Hereof we may gather this generall doctrine that as Christ had a certaine time appointed him to worke the workes of the Father so haue we a certaine day and time appointed vs to worke which once ended and finished we can worke no more Let vs worke then while it is day least if the night come vpon vs we be not able to worke But now the Day is the present life which God hath giuen vs here vpon earth and in which we may worke but when night that is to say when death commeth on and when the Soule is once loosed from the bodie wee shall not be able to worke would we neuer so faine So writeth Theophilact Dies quidem est presens vita Theophi in Ioan. eÃ² quÃ²d possumus nunc sicut in dic operari The day is the present life because that nowe wee maye worke as in the day Nox autem futurum seculum eÃ² quÃ²d nullus illic poterit operari But the night saith he is the worlde to come because that no man can worke there While then we are in this life let vs not omit the preseÌ„t occasioÌ„ that is offered vs to do wel Seeke the Lord saith Esay while hee maye bee founde Esa 55.6 and call vpon him while hee is neere Sirach saith sinnes in this life committed in the world to come Wherefore as Chrysostome counselleth Omnia hÃ®c dissolue vt citra molestiam illud videas Tribunal Set all thinges here in order that without griefe thou maiest behold that

Tribunal seate For if all thinges be not wel and in good order whylest thou art here it will bee too late for thee to redresse them when thou commest there Hierony in cap. 6. epist ad Gal. 2. Cor. 6.2 Psal 65.7 This is saith Ierome the last time of sowing Beholde saith the Apostle nowe is the accepted time now is the day of saluation To day saith Dauid if ye wil heare his voice harden not your hartes It is a daungerous thing in all kinde of matters to let passe opportunitie and conuenient time If the generall omit it hee maye lÃ©ese the victorie If the mariner he may lÃ©ese his passage If the Marchantman he may misse his gaine And therefore are wee thus often admonished to take time while time is to teach vs that if wee take it not when it is offered when we our selues woulde wee shall not haue it Christ himselfe as wee see here tooke his time I must saith he worke the workes of him that sent me while it is daye For this wee must consider with our selues from the highest to the lowest that one is the condition of the present time and another of the time to come We maye nowe doe that which hereafter we shall neuer be able to doe Worke then while it is daye the night commeth when no man can worke Yet a litle while saith Christ is the light with you walke while ye haue light Iohn 12.35 least the darkenes come vpon you And whereas it is vncertaine how long wee haue here to liue for death tarieth not and the couenant of the graue is not shewed vnto vs we ought the more earnestly to labour while we are here Eccl. 14.12 least preuented by death we be not able to finish the worke which is taken in hand If the goodman of the house knewe at what houre the thÃ©efe woulde come Luke 12 3â— hee would surely watch and not suffer his house to be digged through So likewise if wee knewe when Death the messenger of the Lorde woulde come Colloss 4.5 we would redeeme the time We would amend all that is amisse we would bring forward that which is behind we would haue our worke at an ende we would be prepared wee would not slumber and sleepe out the time with the foolysh virgins Math. 25.5 we would haue lights in our hands and oyle in our lampes But for as much as it is not for vs to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his owne power for them hath he wholy and soly reserued vnto him selfe it standeth vs all vpon to be diligent and carefull Act. 1.7 to giue the housholde their portion of meate in season and blessed is that seruant whom his maister when hee commeth Luke 12.43 shall find so doing But if with the vngratious seruant we shall say in our heartes Our maister will deferre his comming and shall beginne to smite our fellow seruants ver 45. and to eate and drinke and to be drunken without doubt our maister will come in a daye when wee thinke not and in an houre when we are not ware of and will cut vs off and giue vs our portion with the vnbeleeuers Wherefore let vs worke while it is day lest the night steale vpon vs and wee couered with darkenesse bee not able to worke But out of these words Donec dies est While it is day a farther sense may bee gathered and that is this Many thinke that they may lawfullye giue ouer and worke no longer the works of the father when they be once old groweÌ„ in years and such men say Wee haue borne the heate of the day long enough wee haue wrought in the vineyarde long enough wee haue preached long enough wee haue borne office long enough It is now high time for vs to giue ouer another while to take our ease Let the younger men in Gods name take paines another while as wee haue done and so foorth But Christ hÃ©ere teacheth them by his owne example that they must worke as long as it is day that they must continue in wel doing to the last gaspe and neuer giue ouer For why It is nothing to beginne well vnlesse we continue to the end Hee that endureth to the end Mat. 10.22 shall be saued To him that ouercommeth Apoc. 2.7 shal bee giuen to eate of the tree of life which is in the middest of the Paradice of God Hierony in 6. cap. Epist ad Galat. Gal. 6.9 A lasting rewarde followeth a lasting righteousnesse Therefore did S. Paul exhort the Galathians Not to bee weary of wel doing because that in due season they should reape if they fainted not Likewise he charged his Timothy to do the worke of an Euangelist and to cause his ministery to be throughly liked of 2. Tim. 4.5 Whereunto that he might the rather incourage him He setteth down his own example togither with the rewarde in these words I haue fought a good fight I haue finished my course I haue kept the faith Vers 7.8 Henceforth is laid vp for me the crowne of righteousnesse which the Lord the righteous iudge shall giue me at that day and not to mee onely but vnto all them also that loue his appearing For God is not vnrighteous that he should forget the worke Hebr. 6.10 and labour of loue We muste not then call to mynde how long we haue laboured but muste haue a watchfull eye and a diligent regard vnto the end So runne sayeth the Apostle that yee may obtaine Cor. 9.24 And againe We desire that euery one of you shew the same diligence Heb. 6.11 to the full assurance of hope vnto the end that yee bee not slouthfull but followers of them which through faith and pacience inherite the promises And thus much for the first part Now let vs take a view of the order and meanes which Christ our Sauiour did vse in giuing sight to this blind man The order and meanes which Christ did vse in giuing sight to the blind man The Euangelist saith As soone as hee had thus spoken as afore declared hee spat on the ground and made claye of the spettle and anointed the eies of the blind with the clay and saide vnto him Goe washe in the poole of Siloam c.
