shall returne to the earth from whence they came and your soules shall returne to God that gaue them there to render an account to the God of heauen for your earthy godhead and to receiue the iudgement either to the ioy that neuer shall haue end or els to the paine that neuer shall haue end So sayth S. Paul All must appeare before the iudgement seat of Christ that euerie one may yeeld vnto God an account of himselfe For all in this life are but the Lord his stewards and when Death the Lord his bailiffe shall arrest you with his writ Non amplius villicabere then must you appeare before the great iudge and render an account euerie one of his stewardship Then then O man whatsoeuer thou art then shalt thou see vpon thy right hand thine owne sinnes accusing thee vpon thy left hand infinit leagions of diuels pleading against thee aboue thee the terrible countinance of the iust iudge against thee vnderneath thee the gaping gulfe of hell fire to deuoure thee within thee thine owne conscience condemning thee Miser homo quid tum facies i. O miserable man what wilt thou then do Latere impossibile apparere intollerabile i. To hide thee then it is not possible to shew thy selfe then is a thing intollerable For then the Lord shall trie out thy workes search out thine imaginations and all thy secret thoughts shall be layd open before thee And the heauens shall bewraie thine iniquities and the earth shall rise vp against thee and all thy sinnes shall lie at thy doore and all thy misdeeds shall be rife in thy remembrance Then they that now account it but a sport to sinne and take great pleasure in the workes of wickednesse shall then houle and crie in the anguish of their owne soules and say O we haue sinned we haue dealt wickedly we haue forsaken the wayes of the Lord and haue followed the paths of perdition in sinne Woe therefore vnto vs for the Lord shall heape sorrowe vpon sorrow vnto our soules and we shall neuer find rest Then shall they crie to the hilles fall vpon vs and to the mountaines Couer vs from the face of the Lambe Nay they shall creepe into the holes and caues of the earth to hide themselues from the feare of the Lord and from the glorie of his Maiestie yet shall they not escape the iudgements of the Lord and they that beare rule shal haue the sorer triall and the mightie shall be mightilie tormented Heare therefore heare euerie one the good counsell of that good father to euerie one Cogita vndè sis erubesce vbisis ingemisce quò sis iturus contremisce that is Thinke still O man whence thou art vz. of the dust and slime of the earth be not high minded but humble thy selfe Thinke still O man where thou art vz. In a world of woe and wickednesse delight not in it but mourne and lament it Thinke still O man whither thou shalt vz. to the iudgement seat of God forget it not but tremble at it So that whither thou catest or drinkest or whatsoeuer thou doest thou still thinke thou hearest the trumpet sound Arise ye dead and come to iudgement And this continuall cogitation of death wil be a great moderation to the actions of this life to make preparation in time for death Knowing that though ye be gods that is set on Gods seat by Gods appointment in stead of God though ye represent Gods maiestie and beare Gods authoritie and in all the things of this world liue like gods among men yet are you but gods on earth and gods of earth that is earthie and mortall gods and must die like other men and part from all your pompe and render account to the God of heauen for your earthie godhead And thus I haue sayd Ye are gods but ye shall die like men God be mercifull therefore vnto vs and blesse vs and graunt vs his heauenly spirit and grace that we that be vnder you may honour and obey you and pray to God for you as our dutie is to you for that ye are gods and that you gods on earth may carefully performe your dutie to the God of heauen that when you shal die like men and part from your earthie godhead you may returne to the God of heauen and haue the fruition of the eternall godhead by the death and merits of Christ Iesus the sonne of God To whom with the Father and the Holy-ghost be all honour praise and glorie for euer and euer Amen FINIS Exod. 12. 12.

MORIEMINI A VERIE PROFITABLE SERMON PREACHED before her Maiestie at the Court about xiij yeares since By H. B. LONDON Printed by Iohn VVolfe 1593. euen great enuie tovvards such as are godly and vvell affected he vvill in that respect beare the more vvith me neither take it indignantly at my hands that his godly labours are rather thus preserued for the vse of men then reserued as afore to be consumed of mothes The argument of this sermon may appeare vnto thee by this one vvord in the forehead of it Moriemini And thus not doubting but that after thou shalt once aduisedly haue perused it thou vvilt allovv both of him that first did pen it and of my poore selfe also vvho thus did print it for thy behoofe and benefit I bid thee farevvell A VERIE PROFITABLE SERMON PREACHED BEFORE her Maiestie at the Court about xiij years since by H. B. Psal 82. 6. 7. 6 I haue sayd ye are Gods and ye are all the children of the highest 7 But ye shall die like men fall like one of the princes I haue sayd ye are Gods But ye shall die like men THe princely Prophet Dauid being himself aduaunced by the goodnesse of God to be king ouer Israell by dayly experience plainly saw how common a thing it is that the great and mightie the rich and wealthie men of this world doe many times forget both them selues what they be and their God from whom they be And glorying in nobilitie and swelling in authoritie and swimming in worldly wealth do trust in their treasures and seeke their owne pleasures thinke them selues Gods Therefore that the great personages of this world should not be deceiued with their great estates in this world and thinke them selues Gods to worke their own willes and neglect the will and wayes of the euerliuing God The Prophet here doth plainely tell them that though they be Gods that is Gods in maiestie Gods in authoritie Gods in wealth and glorie in all the things of this world liue like Gods among men yet are they but Gods on earth and Gods of earth that is earthy and mortal Gods and must die like other men and part from all their pompe render accompt to the God of heauen for their earthy Godhead And this me thinke is the purpose of the Prophet in these words I haue said ye are Gods But ye shall die like men Wherein the Prophet setteth downe two special pointes of Princes and great personages 1. The Maiestie and 2. The mortality 1. Their Maiestie in these words I haue said ye are Gods therein giuing to note 1. The dutie done vnto them and 2. The dutie required of them for that they be Gods 2. Their mortality in these wordes But ye shall die like men therein also noting death For that they shall die like men 1. The certainty of their death and 2. Their rising againe from I haue sayd yee are Gods As the Prophet Dauid by the spirit of God in this place euen so the same spirit in sundry places of the holy Scriptures doth call the Princes and great personages of this world Gods 1 So the Lord God himselfe said vnto Moses I will be auenged of all the Gods in Egypt meaning Pharao all the men of might in Egypt 2 And Moses the man of God amongst other gaue this law to the people of God Thou shalt not speake euill of the Gods meaning the heads and rulers of the people 3 And our sauiour Christ in the gospell saith Is it not written in the law I haue said ye are gods Ratifying and confirming that the men of this world are well called Gods in the word of God And the reason why they be called Gods the queene of Saba rendreth when she saith to king Salomon Blessed be the Lord thy God which had a loue to thee to set thee king on his seat that thou maist be king for the Lord thy God Plainly testifying that the Princes and great personages in this world do sit on Gods seat by Gods appointment in stead of God therefore called gods I haue said ye are Gods that is Ye sit on Gods seat by Gods appointmēt in stead of God ye represent Gods maiestie and beare Gods authoritie therefore ye are Gods And for that ye are gods that is set on Gods seate by Gods appointment in stead of God therefore this dutie is due vnto you by all that are vnder you to honour and obey you euen for the Lord. 1 For so the Lord God himselfe in the first commandement of the second table commandeth To honour Father and mother that is to honor and obey all superiors rulers and gouernors and promiseth long life for fulfilling the same 2 And our sauiour Christ comming not to breake the law but to fulfill the law in token of his obedience according to the law paid tribute to Caesar commanding Peter to take a hooke and cast into the sea and in the mouth of the first fish he gat he should find a peece of twentie pence that take saith he and giue them for tribute for thee and me 3 And when the Iewes came vnto him and asked him whether they should pay tribute to Caesar or not he sayd vnto them Giue vnto Caesar the things that are Caesars teaching all subiects obedience to their Caesars that is their Princes heads and gouernours 4 S. Paul in the 13. to the Romanes setteth downe sundrie reasons to proue that euery soule ought to be subiect to the higher powers as to the ordinance of God 5 And S. Peter is plaine Submit your selues to euery ordinance of man 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is euen for the Lord whether it be to the king as hauing the preheminence or to the rulers appointed by him for the punishment of euill doers but for the praise of them that do wel Thus the Spirit of God doth teach the people of God in the word of God that the Princes and great personages of this world are gods that is set on Gods seate by Gods appointment in stead of God they represent Gods maiestie and beare Gods authoritie and therefore this dutie is due vnto them by all that are subiect to them to honor and obey them euen for the Lord. Whence then is that spirite and whence is that doctrine that setteth on subiects to conspiracies rebellions and treasons and teacheth them by gunshot by witchcraft by coniuring by sorcerie by dealings with the deuill him selfe to worke mischiefe against their naturall Prince and their natiue countrey and yet telleth them that therein they do God seruice and promise them pardons and hight them heauen for their disobedience Surely surely spiritus mendax in ore Prophetarum that is a lying spirit the spirit of the deuill and Antichrist is in the mouths of such teachers and the harts of such dealers For the Spirit of God by the wiseman saith Wish no euill to the king
