Easte shall they come to and fro to seeke the word of the Lord and shall not finde it But because they receiue not the loue of the truth that they might be saued and therefore God shall send them strong Illusions that they might beléeue lies so that the dayes will come when ye shall desire to sée one of the dayes of the sonne of man and ye shall not sée it I passe ouer many other plauges that Mars threatneth vnto them because they will not know the time of their visitation CHAP. 3. Concerning the Sicknes and diseases of this yeare THe Eygptians had a manner vse ni their banquets to carry about an Image of death and to say to euery man that was at the Banquet Look● vppon this eate drinke and be merry such an one shalt thou be when thou dyest And this they did no doubt to put men in remembrance of temperance and of death least they vndiscreetly through excesse of eating and Drinking should happen to dye before their age for so doth God vse to punish such sinne wherefore if we dyet and temper our selues through the influence of the Sunne we shall haue few diseases except Mars bring some other thing to passe that we misknowe not our selues as for such as follow Mercurius liuing night and day in ●oyot and vncleanenes these I say shall through the Sunne haue great Diseases in all the members of their bodies in the Lungs Liuer Hands and Féete yea and perils of their ●oules I passe ouer the pouerty that drunkards and ryotous persons shall haue Keepe no company saith Salomon with drunkards nor with gluttons for the drunkard and the glutton shal be poore and the sleeper shal be cloathed with Ragges and in the same Chap. he saith To whom is woe to whom is sorrow to whom is strife to whom is murmuring to whom are woundes without cause and to whome is the rednesse of the eyes euen to them that tarry long at the Wine to them that goe and seeke mixt Wine and therefore he subioyneth this counsell looke not thou vppon the wine when it is red and when it sheweth his coulour in the Cuppe or goeth downe pleasantly in the end therefore saith he it will bite like a Serpent and hurt like a Cockatrice and thou shalt be 〈◊〉 one that sleepeth in the midst of the sea and as he that sleepeth in the toppe of the Mas●e They haue stricken me shalt thou say but I was not sicke they haue beaten me but I wot not when I awoke Therefore will I seeke it still and though drunkenesse make them more insensible then beastes yet can they not refraine let thē remember our Sauiour Christs warning which he giueth in these words of the latter day take heed saith he to your selues least at any time your harts be oppressed with surfetting and drunkennes and cares of this life least that day come vpon you vnawares There is doubtlesse a maruelous sore punishment to come vpon the whole world of the wicked sword warres hunger not only spiritual as I said before but temporall which plagues haue bin aforetime but are not yet all past I néede not to rehearse the pestilence and those great plagues that God will send to the reformation of as many as wil be warned as for the common 〈◊〉 of the vngodly there shall such a fearefulnes of death come vppon them that they shall not tell where to turne them nor how to escape death O how bitter and gréeuous shall the remembrance of death be this yeare to such as séeke rest and consolation in transitory substance of this world to such as know of no aduersitie but haue good dayes liue in voluptuousnesse and to such Epicures as say Thou hast much goods layed vp for many yeares liue at ease eate drinke and take thy pastime but God shall say O foole this night will they fetch thy soule from thee then whose shall these things be which thou hast prouided But oh death how acceptable and welcome shalt thou be vnto such as are in aduersitie in their last age or in despaire whosoeuer thou be therefore that wouldest escape the sicknesse of this yeare beware that thy body be not ouer-laden with ouer much eating or with drunkennes for excesse of meats bringeth sicknesse 〈◊〉 gluttony commeth at the last to an vnmeasurable heate and Chollericke diseases By surfet haue many perished 〈◊〉 he that dieteth himselfe prolongeth 〈◊〉 life as for vnsatiable eaters they ●●all not onely sléepe vnquietly this yeare but shall haue Ache and payne of the body Concerning the spirituall disease and sicknesse that shall raigne this yeare as it hath done before Paule an auncient and true Astronomer saith plainely that we be all sinners if we say that we haue no sinne we deceiue our selues and the truth is not in vs. This is now the spirituall disease that shall commonly raigne this yeare but especially in them that féele least of it and will not acknowledge it if we acknowledge our sinnes hee is faithfull and iust to forgiue vs our sinnes and to clense vs from all vngodlinesse for the Sunne hath such vertue that whosoeuer can sée his disease and will complayne of it it shall clense them and make them whole Yea Paule sayeth playnely that Christ Iesus came into the world to saue sinners And Saint Iohn giueth vs a good comfort and saieth if any man sinne we haue an aduocate with the Father euen Iesus Christ the iust and he is the reconciliation for our sinnes and not for ours onely but also for the sinne● of

all things let him beware of such false Phisitians fayned Surgeons as heale the hurt of the people with swéete words and say peace peace where there is none And as a true Astronomer reporteth with

their owne harts but not out of the mouth of the Lord. But goe thou boldly vnto him which onely healeth the contrite in heart and byndeth vp their wounds he shall not cast thée away But if thou come vnto him he shall refresh thée he shall ease thée for his yoake saith he is easie his burden light if thou be sicke goe vnto him for he is the right Phisitian for such as are diseased if thou be thirstie come vnto him he hath to giue thee a well of water springing vp vnto euerlasting life If thou be hungry for righteousnes sake and thirst blessed shalt thou be for thou shalt

Concerning the darkenes of this yeare WHen I consider the corrupt nature of Mercurius how he hath bin is and euer shal be contrary vnot Mars the Sune I find by all experience that he shall be cast a great c. darke for though that the light shine in darknes and be come in the world yet shall they whose works are euill and after the conditions of Mercurius 〈◊〉 the darkenesse more then the light and this darkenesse shall be in the● that liue naughtily and follow their owne abhominations for because they doe euill therefore shall they hate the light and not come to it least their deeds should be reproued and as Paule saith if the Gospell shall 〈◊〉 yet hid it is hid to them that are lost 〈◊〉 whome the God of this world hath ●linded the minde that is of the infidels that the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ which is the Image of God should not shine vnto them But where the Children of God are there shall be light and the works of light séeing therefore that the light is with thée yet a little while walke whilste thou hast it that the darkenesse fall not vppon thée for he that walketh in darknesse knoweth not whether he goeth But beléeue thou stedfastly in the light whilst thou hast it that thou mayest be the Child of light and escape the horrible darkenesse of the wicked CHAP. 7. An admonition to euery Christian what they ought dayly to doe and what to leaue vndone FOrasmuch as Almighty God hath charged by Moses that we alwayes should haue his Commaundements in our sight in our minde in our hart and that we should rehearse them continually vnto our Children and should talke of them when as we tarry in the house and as we walke by the way and when we lye downe and when we rise vp and we should binde them for a signe vpon our hands and they should be as frontlets betwixt our eyes and we should write them vpon the posts of our houses and vpon your gates to the intent that we should not forget his word his will and commaundements and least we should follow our owne imaginations therefore good Christians I thought it fruitfull to put thée in remembrance of thy duety and this could I doe no better then by these Godly Textes of holy Scripture which I haue brought héere together specially to the honour la●d praise of God exhorting yée that yet are negligent and forgetfull in kéeping of his lawes to take better hold and goe forward in his waies and turne not aside neither to the right hand nor to the left but beware of such as teach thée ought sauing the Doctrine of God and that thou mayest be sure what thou doest I pray Iesus Christ our onely mediatour obtayne for thée his holy spirit and giue thée a good wholesome new yeare with the true knowledge of his Godly will and encrease of his faith To day if yee will heare his voice harden not your harts euery day it is good to beléeue to learne and to doe that God hath commaunded and so likewise it is good to leaue vndone that God hath forbidden This day it is good to learne Gods word for it is y● vncorruptible séed whereof we are borne anew by y● word of God it is the foode of the soule whereby man liueth the word of God is quick and mighty in operation and sharper then any two edged sword and entreth elen vnto the diuiding asunder of the soule and the spirit and of the ioynts and of the marrow and is discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart it is good indéed to learne Gods word for all good things come to vs with it and innumerable riches there thorow therefore are they blessed that heare the word of the Lord and keepe it it is good to beléeue the word of God for he that beleeueth and is Baptized shal be saued yea God giueth them power to be his children that beléeue in his name wherefore he that cometh vnto God must beléeue for without saith saith the Apostle it is not possible to please God and what soeuer thing is done without faith is sinne it is good to kéepe the word and commaundements of God for he that loueth me saith Christ will keepe my commaundements and my
