god that we haue hard that we haue seene with our eyes Luc. 1. as they haue delyuered vs whiche from the begynnyng haue seene it with theyr eies 2. Pet. 1. But those thinges which we haue sene with our eies Al scripture heuēly inspired 2. Tim. 3. 2. Pet. 1. The prophecie in old tyme was not giuen by the wyl of man but the holy men of god spake dryuen with the holy gost Ephe. 5. As it is nowe reueled to his holy apostelles and prophetes by spirite Matt. 22. So Christ cōfirmeth Dauides wrytynges Howe doth Dauid thē in spirite call him lorde Certaynely I am fully perswaded and doute nothinge at al that the holy scriptures are inspired from heauen 22 If the temptator saye thou haste not kepte the lawe of god wherfore thou arte accursed SAy thou Christ whiche was made a curse for vs Galath 3. hath redemed vs from the curse of the lawe Agayn Ephe. 2. Euacuatyng and taking awey the lawe of commaundmentes set in decrees Colo. 2. Takynge away the handewrytynge agaynste vs which is in decrees and is contrary to vs. Roma 6. For ye are not vnder the lawe but vnder fauour delyuered from synne For the deathe of Christ hath delyuered vs from the lawe For truely by Christes deth we are now in conscience fre from the lawe that is from the wrothe of god and euerlastynge deathe For the lawe can not be fulfylled of nature for it is spirytuall as vndoubtedly the apostels decreed The yocke that neither c. Again Acto 15. Deuter. 5. Luc. 18. who can gyue them such a minde Whiche is impossible to men 23 If he say thou must forsake the worlde VVhat then Answere thou cōtrary wise I shal obteine heuen For blessed ar the dead Apoc. 14. 1. Ioh. 5. Ibidem which dye in the lorde Agayne All the world lieth in wickednes Agayn All thyng whiche is borne of god ouercometh the world and this is the victory which ouercometh the world our fayth Who is he whiche ouercometh the worlde but he that beleueth that Iesus is the sonne of god I am sure therfore in Christe All the worlde shall peryshe with his lustes and desyres Agayne 1. Ioan. 3. Loue not the worlde nother those thynges whiche are in the world We ar strangers in this worlde and citizens of heauen Ye sonnes of men howe longe are ye harde harted Psal 4. Why loue ye vanyties and seke lyes Agayne Howe lōg loue you infancy or childhode and foles desire those thinges whiche are hurtfull Agayne Vanitie of all vanities Eccles 1. and all thynges ar vanitie 1. Ioh. 2. The cause is this for all thynges whiche are in the worlde as luste of the fleshe concupiscēce of the eyes and pryde of lyfe are not of the father but of the world and the world passeth and his lust also but he that dothe the wyll of god taryeth for euer The ende ❧ THE PREPARATION TO DEATHE AND howe they which be in point of deathe shulde be comforted the .ii. boke ¶ What is deathe Cap. i. DEATHE IS NOthinge els but a separation or diuision of the soule frō the bodye It is a quiet rest from the afflyctions and troubles of this worlde in the whiche they that be deade be so refreshed and newely made that from thense they shall ryse far aboue all other most happye not into a lyfe which shall dye ageyne as it is in a slepe but into an euerlastynge life ¶ What is the cause of deathe Cap. ii THE CAVSE of deathe is synne For out of synne deth flowed and is the punishement or peyne or rewarde of synne or the reuengeaunce of yll thynges as the holy scripture beareth witnes Fyre Eccle. 39. hayle hunger and deathe be created for punishement as witnesseth the psalme For anger and dethe be in his indignation Psal 29. and lyfe in his wyl Roma 6. Hiere 3. The wages or rewarde of synne is death In what daye so euer thou shalte eate of it that is thou shalte synne therof thou shalt dye God dyd not make deathe Sap. 1. nor doth not reioyce in the destruction of the lyuynge Also Throughe the malyce and enuy of the dyuell Sap. 2. death hath entred And Paule saythe Rom. 5. By one man synne entred into the world and through synne deathe Ezech. 33 And in Ezech. I wil not the deathe of a synner but rather that he conuerte and tourne from his synne and liue Also The soule whiche shall synne shal dye Therfore where deathe is there necessaryly synne dydde go before whiche dwelleth in vs whiche we haue by inheritaunce whiche is spronge forthe into vs all of the whiche synne the fyrst father to vs was Adam from whom we haue by inherytaunce origynall synne whiche is a naturall dysposytion and inclination to synne whiche hath with hym in felowship blindnesse of harte dulnesse towardes vertue the loue of hym selfe the hatred of god fleynge frome the crosse hatred of the lawe and disdaynynge of his neyghbour For by Adams disobedience our fleshe is become disobediente to god soo long as it is not enspyred with the holy gost and for the sayde synne of Adam al we be called synners And so in hym we be all deade for we be his flesshe and his chyldren of his owne substaunce He is the grayne and sede of whom all we be spronge out As he is deade so shall we dye and frome Adam is spronge into vs bothe orygynall synne and deathe the peyne of synne is come forthe And the tyranny of the dyuell to whom our nature is subiecte and in whome the dyuell vseth crueltie and doth exercise it with feare and all kyndes of myserye and also doth kyl And moreouer enforceth to al maner of vnhappines to blasphemy murther and hatred ¶ Two maner of deathes Cap. ii THE ONE is of the body or of nature to whome all men be subiecte for al haue sinned and haue broken the lawe of god that is when this bodyely lyfe is broken aweye when we gyue vp the goost and do not occupie this mortall lyfe As it is wrytten to the Hebrewes Hebre. 9. It is ordeyned and decreed that all men shall dye ones and after that iudgement By Adams synne nature is subiecte of necessitie to dye as Iesus Sirach wryteth Eccle. 40. There is a heuy yocke vppon the chyldren of Adam frome the daye of the commynge oute of theyr mothers wombe vntyll the daye of theyr burial into the mother of all The other deathe is of the soule or of fayth or of helth When the vnbeleuers drowned in theyr wyckednes not carynge for god nor desyrynge god nor askyng forgyuenes of god be made bondemen to eternall darkenesse which is called euerlastyng death Whiche is a perpetuall feare of conscience throughe the wrothe of god Sap. 5. whiche Satan doth encrece Exaumple of these two maner of deathes is the riche gloton
He hath obteyned victorye ouer hel administringe eternal glory For as in Adam all dyed soo in Christe all shall be reuyued For by Adams disobedience synne death punyshment and that moste cruell tirant Satan dyd chalenge bothe ryght and rule ouer all howe many soo euer were borne of hym The lawe of synne is to kyll the wages of synne is death the ryght of death is to damne the ryght of afflyctions is to greue make heuye the ryght of the dyuell is to destroye Into al these rightes and powers Adam by his disobedyence hath caste vs. And Adam then had ben vtterly extinct and vndone if that he hadde not be comforted ageyne reuyued with the word of grace But he was receyued vnto grace and the father dyd take from hym feare of deathe and anguyshe for he did fele and perceyue the wroth of god and god to be his ennemy and also all creatures soo that he could not tel which wey to tourne him This feare I say the father hath taken away frō him through the most swete absolution and promyse of grace when he sayde vnto the serpent Gen. 3. I wyl put enmite betwyxte the and the womanne and that sede shal al to breake thy hed This worde when Adam dyd here and beleue he was holpen and delyuered and came from hell and nowe beleued the worde of god thinkyng vnder this forme This god hath spoken whiche can not lye or deceyue In this faythe Adam dyed and after Adam all the faythfull vnto Aabraham whiche dyd also cleaue faste to this word thynkynge thus he wyl come yea suerly at the laste he wyl come bycause the lorde hath so promysed whiche canne not lye and in this faythe they were saued ¶ Althoughe the godly dye yet they shall lyue Cap. iiii THE godlye and iuste people haue most comfort although in this lyfe they be put to deathe and seme to be forsakē of god cast into hell and as shepe ordeyned to be slayne Roma 8. As scripture wytnesseth of them For thy sake we be iuged as shepe ordeined to be slayne Also I thynke veryly 1. Cor. 14. that god hath shewed that we whiche be the last apostelles are as it were apointed to suffer deathe For we 2. Cor. 4. whiche lyue be alway delyuered to death for Iesus sake yet they do not dispeyre no not in death but as they which be sure that they shall passe through deathe to life eternal and crye to god and suffer the hand of the lorde and be pacient and put theyr hope in god Also they haue this comforte that their deathe is good and precyouse They also knowe that throughe Chrystes deathe deathe is ouercome and abolyshed 1. Cor. 14. Osee 3. Gen. 3. Deathe is supped of in victory O Deathe I wyll be thy deathe The sede hath broken the heade of the serpente Therfore if any man taken in the panges of deathe do holde faste and beleue this worde in the myddel of death he shall haue lyfe for verylye the christyans doo lyue when they be estemed and thought to dye Sap. 5. 2. Cor. 6. Ioh. 16. The rightuouse shal lyue for euer And soo Paule saythe Beholde we be euer as dyenge and yet we lyue Also Christ sayth Ioh. 16. In me you shal haue peace but in the worlde you shall suffer oppression And Sap. 3. The tourment of death shal not touche them Also Esai 26. Thy deade personnes shal lyue they shal ryse with theyr bodyes He shall not taste deathe Io. 5. et 11 And he whiche beleueth in me althoughe he were deade yet he shal lyue They shall not taste deathe Marc. 9. Sap. 2. The iuste man althoughe he be preuented with deathe yet he shal be refreshed Also Psal 15. Thou shalt not suffer thy holyon to se corruption Also Psal 32. Ioh. 5. et 11. et 3. That he may pulle out from deathe the soules of them He shal passe ouer from deathe to lyfe He shall not see eternall deathe He shall not dye for euer He dothe not peryshe but hath eternall lyfe Seke god Psal 68. and your soule shall lyue Esai 55. Bowe your eares and come to me here you and your sowle shall lyue ¶ These places ought to be well noted for the comforte of them before whose eies deathe is presente whiche if they beleue in Christe they be not loste but haue eternall lyfe Therfore they be not called onely deade but the deade of god as suche as dye in the lorde for suche do ryse ageyne in glory and none other Danie 12. as it apereth ī Daniel ¶ The deathe of the godly is a slepe Ca. v. CHRISTE calleth the death of the godly a slepe Lazarus our frende slepeth Ioh. 11. For by the benefyte and goodnes of Christ death is made a slepe which by his deth hath changed deathe into a slepe So Paule dothe call the feythful 1. Thes 4. whiche be deade slepers sayinge I wyll not you to be ignorante of them that slepe So Steuē slept Acto 7. And so the godly to the outwarde syght and perceuerāce dieth But withoute doubte that death is but a slepe For how many so euer dye in Christe all slepe in hym and he shall reyse them in the laste daye I haue slept and do slumber Psal 3. and I haue rysen Here slepe betokeneth deathe of the body as in Genesis Abram slepte with his father Psal 4. Psal 15. I wyll slepe and rest in peace to god with other Also My fleshe shal rest in hope Therfore in deth not so moche the deathe it selfe as suer lyfe and resurrection is to be considered to theym whiche be in Christ accordynge to Christis sayinge He that shall kepe my word Ioh. 8. shall not see deathe euerlastynge Howe shall he not see deathe shal he not fele it Shal he not dye no veryly but he shal se onely a slepe and beholdyng stedfastly with the eies of faythe in the resurrection by deathe he shall so passe awaye that surely he shall not see deathe And death veryly to hym shal not be deathe ¶ All these thynges be begonne in baptisme and be fynysshed in the ende of lyfe Rom. 6. For we be buryed with him throughe baptisme in to deathe Therfore faythe exercised with diuers passions causeth that naturall deathe to the faythefull is but a slepe For the faythful die suerly in hope and loke after the laste daye and the commynge of Christe This securitie they gette in this lyfe by the spirite of fayth that they maye saye with Paule By hope we be made safe Roma 8. Rom. 5. And agayne Hope dothe not confound That is to dwell in the Paradyse of god the kyngedome of heauen in the churche of the lyuinge god And the lord sayth Leuit. 26. Esai 31. To slepe with out feare To syt in the beautie of peace in the tabernacles of fayth and truste and
Luc. 16. which beinge deade was buried in hell and Lazarus the begger beinge deade and caryed of angelles into the bosome of Habram This man hath comforte and contrary wise the ryche man was punyshed and buried in hel that is he died with an yll conscience he sawe in his deathe his owne wyckednesse and damnation as al wicked men do This is the worme Esai 66. whiche dothe not dye Euen then the folishe virgins do first see Matt. 25. that the wise haue oyle Then it commeth to remembrance to whom they haue doone bothe good and euyll There the lawe dothe fyrste shewe hym selfe the gospell beinge taken awaye thenne they seke for grace but all to late and in vayne Prouer. 1 There god dothe cut of all hope of recouerye of helthe or fauoure the sentence of the cruell iudgement of god is then as sayth saynt Iames Iaco. 2. Iugement without mercy shall be to them whiche haue not done mercy I haue hūgered Matt. 25. and you haue not gyuen me c. Therfore the worde of god doth teache vs how we shulde avoyde eternal punishment and howe we shal be saued whiche if we neglect set nought by there is no cause why we shuld haue any further hope Of these two kyndes of dethes the psalmes make mention Psal 33. The deathe of sinners is yl And contrarywyse The deathe of saynctes is preciouse in the syght of god Psal 113. Psal 6. Matt. 7. Matt. 11. Also Go frome me all you workers of iniquitie I knowe you not Come to me all you that do labour and be burdened and I wyll refreshe you Also In theyr synne they shall dye And Paule sayth Philipp 3. Whose ende is death Also of the feythefull is wrytten They shall not faute al they whiche truste in hym Psal 33. The Lord doth kepe theyr bones and one of them shall not perysshe or be broken Rom. 8. There is no damnation to theym whiche be in Christe Iesus Apoc. 14. Blessed be the deade whiche die in the lorde As there is two lyues a yerthely and an eternall lyfe soo there is two deathes the one a temporall the other an euerlastynge deathe The erthly lyfe hath a begynnynge and a endynge and is subiect to many miseries and this lyfe no christen man dothe greatly esteme but saith daily with Paule Christ is my lyfe Philipp 1. and death is lucre And if it fortune me to lyue in the fleshe then it is profytable to me to worke and what I shall chose I know not I am constrained of these twayne desyrynge to be dissolued and to be with Christ whiche thynge is moche better for me but to lyue in the flesshe is more nedefull for you Galath 6. Soo in an other place God forbeade that I shulde reioyce in any thynge but in the crosse of our lorde Iesus Christ by whom the world is crucyfyed vnto me and I vnto the worlde I lyue but not I onely Gala. 2. but Christ liueth in me for in that that I lyue in the fleshe I lyue in the faithe of the sonne of god whiche loued me and gaue hym selfe for me Therfore he that knoweth not Christe nor doth not truste in hym feareth death as that which threteneth and bryngeth eternall ruine and destruction but he whiche knoweth Christ and hath him doth not feare death whom Christ beinge victor hath ouercome and ouerthrowen ¶ To the efecte and faythfull eternall deathe by Christe is ouercome Cap. iii. THIS is the great comfort of them that be in the painges of deathe whiche comforteth and lyfteth vp the fearefull myndes that is that Christe hath vtterlye abolysshed deathe takyn awaye synne and that surelye throughe Christe they shall obteyne remyssion of synne be reputed ryghtuouse and haue euerlastynge lyfe Therfore Christ the promised sede the sonne of god came downe frō heuen and became manne by his crosse deathe and resorrection hath saued vs and delyuered vs from eternall deathe and he payed for vs all our dette as it is written in the epistle to the Hebrewes Ones he is offered Hebre. 9. that he shulde take awaye the synnes of manye Also 1. Pet. 3. He hath ones suffered for our synnes And 1. Ioh. 1. The bloude of Iesu Chryst hath made vs cleane from all our synne And Matth. 1. Thou shalte call his name Iesus for he shall saue his people frome theyr synnes Also Hebr. 2. That through death he shulde put awaye hym whiche had rule ouer death that is the diuell that he myght delyuer them whiche all theyr lyfe were brougte in bondage through feare of deth For verylye he hath delyuered vs from the power of Synne that it shulde not kyll vs frome the power of deathe that it shoulde not condemne vs from the power of affliction that it shulde not greue vs from the power of the dyuell that he shoulde not destroye vs hath restored vs to iustice ioy lyfe and to the beste and mooste myghty god that is he hath made vs fre men and partakers of god whiche before were captyues and bondmen to the deuyl So our iniquities dyd cast vs hedlynge into the depenesse of hell and there did drowne and bury vs but god moued with mercy hath caste all our iniquities vpō the shulders of his sonne delyuerynge vs all frome synne deathe and hell hath satisfyed for vs whiche of god is made to vs wysedome iustice holynes 1. Cor. 1. and redemption Whiche hath giuen hym selfe for our synnes that he myghte delyuer vs frome this present yll world And vnder such forme by Christe we be delyuered frome deathe synne and hell that they vtterlye haue noo maner of ryght in vs nor can not destroye and damne vs As Osee sayth Osee 13. I wyll delyuer them from the hand that is from the power of hel frō deathe I wyll redeme them O deathe I wyll be thy deathe O hell I wyll be thy bytte Deathe 1. Cor. 15. where is thy stynge Hell where is thy victory Thankes be to god whiche hath gyuen vs vyctorye throughe our lorde Iesus Christe So great is the power of faythe and we be broughte into so greate lybertie throughe fayth We fele punishemente in this worlde but through fayth we peryshe not We be kylled but we shal not dye We bren in hel fyer but we be not consumed in dede and soo of all the reste whiche be not taken awaye frome the beleuer Ioh. 16. In the worlde saith he ye shal haue affliction c. Nor the beleuers be not delyuered from the felynge of theym in this world but they be delyuered from the power and rule of them and the stynge is taken from theym wherby all men dyd peryshe The christen man is therfore sure that as deathe eternall coulde not preuayle agaynste Christ so lykewise ageynst him it hath no power For Christ hath taken away sinne bringynge in iustice he hath strangeled deathe gyuynge lyfe
