doubt not but euery manne within the dores had to muche euē dogges and all But there was nothyng without the doores for the poore nedy and hungrie but hunger and small ease Yea the very dogges were more mercifull then either their maister or maistres or houshold for thei delte their almose vpon hym The dogges saith the text came and licked his sores Suche maister suche seruauntes is commonly sene This man was altogether liberall yea prodigall vpon hymself and his after his awne luste and pleasure but concernyng the poore nedy and Goddes lust and pleasure he was euē a very starke nigard Well this man liued here all in his felicitie and so did poore Lazarus euen in his miserie But nowe commeth death as I haue saied and turneth all topsie turuie It foloweth in the texte And it fortuned that the begger died and was caried by the angels into Abrahams bosome It chaūced saieth the texte that the begger died That begger I saie that no mā regarded whiles he liued but god shewed howe muche he regarded hym in that that his angelles brought him in to Abrahams bosome The riche man wold not once vouchsafe to take hym into his house to releue hym but god doth vouchsafe to take hym to suche a place where is euerlastyng felicitie glory Let vs consider what maner of departing had Lazarus frō this world Death to this good and godly begger yea to all godly men is a greate benefite For it deliuereth all suche from innumerable euils euē as it wer men that had been long in a sharpe prison from greate affliccion to great refreshyng Therefore it is no pein nor miserie for a good and godly man to die For to hym death is the very way and passage to euerlastyng ioye and high felicitie This poore man is ded saith the text He is ded I graunt but not so dedde or with suche a death as the wicked men vse to die but after another fashion of the whiche the holy man Iob the Lxvi Chap. speaketh on saiyng The death of his sainctes saith he is very precious in the lordes sight This poore Lazarus soule was caried not of one Angell but of many saieth the text Whether did thei cary it Into Abrahams bosome that is in to euerlastyng ioye rest in the lorde Whiche place some men call Paradise after Christes saiyng to the thefe hangyng on his right hand whiche desired hym to haue hym in his remembraunce whē he should come into his kyngdome Luke .xxiij. where Christe saith vnto him this daie shalt thou be with me in Paradise Some call this place the hande of the Lorde as it is written in the .iij. Chap. of the boke of Sapiēce The soules of the righteous are in the hande of the Lorde Marke here that although mencion is made that the soules of good godly righteous persones be safe enough either in Abrahams bosome in Paradise in the hande of the Lorde or in heauen And I doubte not but that thei haue suche glory and felicitie as S. Paule to the Cori. speaketh of in the .i. Epistle the .ij. Chap. saiyng that mannes iye hath not seen and theare hath not heard neither haue entered into the hart of man the thynges whiche God hath prepared for them that loue him But to tell you what glory thei haue what thei do and where thei be I can nomore tel then the scripture telleth I let God alone with all suche secretes as Christe his Apostles and the prophetes hath not reueled and made manifest to vs in holy scripture Now I doubt not but Abrahames bosome is the place wherin all the elected and chosen of God whiche doo truely folowe Abrahams faith do rest in But nowe where that place is I knowe not and therfore I will not go about to determyne a thyng that I knowe not Lette vs not bee muche carefull where that place is but rather let vs bee carefull how wee shall come thether There was neuer time but that God had appoyncted a place for his elected to rest in Afore Christes commyng that place was called the bosome of Abraham but now it is called heauen the house of the eternall father as S. Paule witnesseth in his .ij Epistle the .v. Chap to the Cori. For we knowe saieth he that if our yearthy mansion of this dwellyng wer destroyed we haue a buyldyng of God an habitacion not made with handes but eternall in heauen Also Christ in Ihō .xiiij. speakyng of the same thyng saieth In my fathers house there bee many dwellyng places And the same Christ safeth also in Ihou .xii. Where I am saith he there shal my minister bee also Paule also in his Epistle to the Philippians the .i. Cha. Desireth to bee losed and to bee with Christe Now here ye haue hard th ende of this poore begger beyng righteous before God what came to hym after his deth and departyng frō his body Although he were of no reputacion before the worlde yet he was highly regarded before God In this good poore man beyng in the sight of God righteous all good godly and righteous poore beggers and men of small reputaciō make greate comfort vnto whom the ioye felicitie of the life to come shal recompense the sorowe and miserie that is in this life all comen and past Here ye heard of Lazarus death and what chanced vnto him after his deth Now shall ye heare of the riche mannes death Why do suche men die as well as poore men doo So well No God knoweth thei die all doubtles but how well thei die and how well cometh to thē after their death marke well this parable and ye shall know It foloweth in the parable The rich man also died and was buried Is he ded in deede How chaunced he died It was not I truste for lacke of clothes For he had to many It was not for lacke of meate and drynke for he had to muche Why will not gay and costly clothes delicate meates kepe men from death No rather I feare me thei help men to death Then I se that neither costly araye nor delicate fare nor abundaunce of goodes nor excellencie of dignities nor greatnes in office nor yet noblenesse of birthe will kepe any man from death For as sone dieth the riche man with his riches and his costly raiment and with his delicate fare as the poore manne with his pouertie course raimēt and homely fare Assone die thei in dignities and greate Offices as other that haue none of them bothe Assone dieth the noble as the base borne Assone dieth the Prelate as the Pulter as sone dieth the prieste as the clerke c. For as Paule saieth to the Hebrues ix Chapiter It is appoyncted vnto al men that thei shall once die And the olde saiyng is true There is nothyng more certain then death but there is nothyng more vncertain then thoure of death Now to the text again The riche also died c.
