Niniue also founde fauour with God as did manye other which I wil omit for tymes sake and wil bringe forth one or twoo out of the new testameÌ„t that we maye se God the same God in y e new testament he was in tholde I myght tell you of manye yf I shoulde speake of y e Lunatike such as were possessed w t deuyls lame blinde domme deaf lepers c. but tyme wyll not suffice me one or two therfore shall serue Mary Magdalene hadde seuen deuylles but yet they were caste oute of hyr and of all others she was the fyrst that Christ appeared vnto after his resurrection Thomas would not beleue christes resurrection though manye tolde hym whiche had seene and felte hym by reason whereof a man myght haue thoughte that his synnes woulde haue cast him awaye except I shulde see fele sayeth he I wyl not beleue Ah wylfull Thomas I wyll not sayeth he but Christe appeared vnto hym and woulde not leese hym as he will not do thee good brother yf that with Thomas thou wylte kepe companie with the disciples as Thomas dydde Peter his falle was vgglie he accursed hym selfe if euer he knew Christe and that for feare of a gyrle and this not once but euen three dyuers tymes and that in the hearynge of Christe his maister but yet the thyrd time christ loked backe and cast on hym his eye of grace so that he went out and wept bitterly and after christes resurrection not only dydde the aungels wyll the wemen to tell Peter that Christ was risen but Christ hym self appeared vnto hym seuerallye suche a good Lorde is he The theefe hangynge on the crosse sayde but thus Lord wheÌ„ thou comest into thy kyngedome remembre me and what auÌ„swer had he This daye sayth Christe shalte thou be with me in paradyce What a comfort is this in that he is now the same Christe to thee and me and vs all yf we wyll runne vnto him For he is the same Christ to daye to morowe vntyll he come to iudgement Then in dede he wylbe in exorable but nowe is he moore ready to geue then thou to aske yf thou crys he heareth thee yea before thou crye Crye therfore be bolde man he is not parciall call sayth he and I wyll heare thee Aske and thou shalte haue seke and thou shalt fynd though not at the fyrst yet at the length yf he tarry a whyle it is but to trye thee Nam veniens ueniet et non tardabit He is commynge and wyl not be longe Thus haue you iiii meanes which you must vse to that tayning of fayth or certaine perswasioÌ„ of gods mercy towards you whiche is the second part of pennaunce namely prayer the fre vniuersall promises of Goddes grace the recordation of the benefites of god past and presente the exaÌ„ples of gods mercy whiche although they myght suffice yet wyl I put one moo to them whiche alonelye of it selfe is full sufficiente I meane the death of the sonne of God Iesus Christe which yf thou set before the eyes of thy mynd it wyl confyrme thy plackarde for it is the great seale of Englande as they saye yea of all the worlde for the confyrmation of all patentes and perpetuities of the euerlastynge lyfe whervnto we are all called Yf I thoughte these whyche I haue before recited were not sufficient to confyrme your faith of gods loue towardes suche as do repente I woulde tarry longer herein But because both I haue bene longe and also I trust you haue some exercyse of conscience in this daylye or els you are to blame I wyll but touche and go Consider with youre selues what we are misers wretches and enemies to God Consider what God is euen he whiche hath al power maieste might glorye ryches c. perfectlye of hym selfe and neadeth nothyng but hath all thinges Consider what Christ is Concernyng his godhead coequall w t his father euen he by whoÌ„ al thynges were made are ruled gouerned Concerninge his manhode the only dearlyng of his father in whom is all his ioye Nowe syr what a loue is this that this God whiche neadeth nothyng wold geue wholly his owne selfe to thee his ennemy wreakyng his wrath vpon hym selfe in this his sonne as a man maye saye to spare the to saue thee to wyn thee to bye thee to haue thee to enioye thee for euer Because thy synne had seperated the from hym to the ende y u myghteste come eftsones into his company agayne and therin remayne he hym selfe became as a man wolde saye a synner or rather synne it self euen a malediction or a curse that we synners we accursed by his sinne that by his oblation or offeringe for our synnes by hys curse might be delyuered from synne from malediction For by synne he destroyed synne killinge death sathan and synne by theyr owne weapons and that for thee me man if we cast it not awaye by vnbeleif Oh wonderful loue of God who euer harde of suche a loue The father of heauen for vs his ennemies to geue his owne deare sonne Iesus Christ and that not onely to be our brother to dwell amonge vs but also to the death of the crosse for vs Oh woÌ„derful loue of Christ to vs all that was conteÌ„t and wylling to work this feate for vs Was there any loue lyke to this loue God in dede hathe commended his charitie and loue to vs herein that when we were very ennemyes vnto hym he woulde geue his own sonne for vs That we beyng men might become as you would saye gods God wold become man That we being mortall might become immortal the immortal God wold become mortal man That we earthlye wretches might be sitizens of heauen the Lorde of heauen woulde become as a man wolde say earthlye that we beynge accursed myght be blessed God wolde be accursed That we by our father Adam beyng brought oute of paradice into the puddel of al pain myght be redemed and brought into paradyce agayne god wold be our father and an Adam ther vnto That we hauyng nothing might haue all thinges God hauynge all thinges woulde haue nothyng That we being vessels and slaues to al euen to sathan y e fend myght be lordes of all and of Sathan the lorde of al would become a vassall and a slaue to vs all and in daunger of Sathan Oh loue incomprehensible who can otherwyse thinke nowe but yf the gratious good Lorde disdayned not to geue his owne Sonne his own hartes ioye for vs his very ennemies tofore we thought to begge any such thing at his hands ye tofore we were who I say can thinke otherwise but that with him he wil
