A06520	A ryght notable sermon, made by Doctor Martyn Luther, vppon the twenteth chapter of Iohan, of absolution and the true vse of the keyes full of great co[m]forte. In the which also it is intreated of the mynysters of the Church, and of scolemaisters, what is dewe vnto them. Ande of the hardnes and softenes of the harte of manne.; Predigt am Sonntage nach Ostern. English	Luther, Martin, 1483-1546.; Argentine, Richard, d. 1568.	1548 (1548)	STC 16992; ESTC S108931	20,840	50

same / they can not esteme as it is worthy / the grace of the gospel / or the benefite of Christ / or with glad harte to embrace the same / or to desire it from the botome of their harte Wherfore thou shalt in vaine teach amonge those moche of the grace that is gotten by Christ / for where the lawe is not taught / ande well beaten into them / there do meÌ„ knowe nothing of synne / what thing it is / howe great the crudelitie and abhomination of it is / and which are the true ande mooste greuous sinnes / as S. Paule doth witnesse / sayinge Wherfore the lawe was geueÌ„ Without lawe / synne is dead Also where the lawe is not / there is no transgression For howe great a thynge synne is / and also / howe great the wrath of God is against synne / it can not be knowen but by the lawe Wherfore / where the lawe is not pricked forth / nor diligeÌ„tly and instauntly beaten in to them / there plainely men are Ethnikes and Prophane parsoÌ„s / thinking theÌ„ selues to do well / yea / and excellently to do the thing / whan they do abhominably synne agaynst the preceptes of God The wordly power doth restrayne aÌ„d punish / those manyfest and grosse mischeuous actes ande synnes / but what synne is before God / it can neither declare nor teach / although she shuld take to counsell all the heapes of the bookes parteininge to the lawe Therfore was the lawe geueÌ„ vnto vs / that we therby myght learne to knowe what synne is / for where synne is not knowen there is no remyssion / ande grace can not be vnderstand / moche lesse desyred and coueted / and more ouer than is there no vse of grace / for grace ought to fyght againste sinne and to vanquish it in vs that we despayre not Wherfore lyke as it is necessarie for a physician that wyll with praise professe his arte / and be like vnto his name aÌ„d callinge to haue the vse of longe experience / and to be exercised moch aÌ„d longe time in that science that he maie knowe and searche oute / fyrst what / and what kynde of desease it is and also what are the causes therof For if he shall endeuoure to remedie the sicknes the dysease not beyng knowen / nor the causes of the same fouÌ„de oute he shall rather gyue a poyson / then the remedie or helpe of the same Euen so is it necessarie fyrst synne to be knowen before that grace be preached And for the know leadge of siÌ„ne / the lawe is nedefull Wherfore the fyrst instruction of a christen maÌ„ is diligently to be taught / ande the tenne commaundementes are to be interpreted well / and beaten into the people and that is necessarie to be done in sermons in the temples For reason as I haue saide is a great deale to weake / aÌ„d to full of imbecilitie / with all her wysdome / ande wyth all â—â€¦e â—awes and preceptes of all the learnâ—â€¦ men of the lawe / to parfourme that And albeit that we graunt / that chefelie in reason is pâ—aÌ„ced and graffed a certeine knowleadge of the thiÌ„ge chat is honest aÌ„d dishonest / yet is that so small and thinâ—e / that it can not sufficiently knowe the malice aÌ„d noughtines of her nature and the greatnes of sinne And therfore god hath instituted by Moses / this doctrine ande preachyng of the lawe / the which he had ceyued before of the fathers The other kyngdome is that which the resurrection of our lorde Iesus christ hath made For by his resurrectioÌ„ he wolde beginne ande erecte a newe kyngdome the which shuld resiste synne when by the lawe they are knowen death and hell / aÌ„d doth restrayne theÌ„ / take them a waye and abolish theÌ„ / neither doth this kiÌ„gdoÌ„ teach vs howe matrimonies maie be coÌ„tracted / howe the prouisyon of the house at home and of the publike weale / ande Empyres are to be gouuerned ande ministred Howe peace ande concorde vppon the earth and the societÃ© of men is to be preserued Howe we muste buylde / sowe / plante / aÌ„d tyll our landes etc. Of this I saye this other kyngdome teacheth nothing But it is therfore erected / that we maye knowe where we must dwell / or whether we must go from hence / that we maye lyue perpetuallye / when this corruptible aÌ„d bodely kingdome will fayle / and the condicion of thys life shall haue an ende / wheÌ„ oure goodes aÌ„d all our faculties / honoures / promocions / houses and landes / the woorlde and what so euer is in it / and coÌ„meth oute of the earth / ande fynallye the lyfe it selfe is to be forsakeÌ„ And trulie death hangeth ouer vs / aÌ„d is to be loked for euery momente Yf adam had not synned / than neyther death nor any other calamytie shulde haue bene fearfull vnto vs / neyther shulde any daunger haue bene vnto vs / by any kynde of euell But nowe / throughe synne / death is brought into the worlde / and vppon all mankinde From the which no man is sure / no not for one momente of tyme / for as moche as euery moment she hangeth ouer maÌ„ But to what place wilt thou flie Whether wilt thou turne the What minde shalt thou be in than Whether doest thou suppose to go / when present death shall take the from hence For this contention and for this agony is the kyngdome of Christe bought / the which for that purpose was appointed to be an euerlasting kinge / that he might be lorde of synne and of iustice / of death ande life Wyth these / the kingdom of Christ hathe to do Vppon these he ruleth He hathe these in his hande Thus the lorde meaneth in this place where he saith Take you the holighoost / whose synnes so euer you shall remitte / they are retayned to delyuer men from synne / or to declare vnto them that those that dwell in sinne / are to be daÌ„pned eternally Here truly it can not be sayde that a woorldly kingdome is instituted of him as the Pope doth glory wyth a loudelye of the keyes of power and right to lowse and binde all thinges / aÌ„d by that meanes / to make that siÌ„ne whyche is no synne / aÌ„d also that Christ him selfe doth not binde or lowse / and so playnely he hath made by that meanes a worldy kingdome But Christe doth here clerely ynough teach what hys keyes are The keyes of Christes kyngdom / ande what they be that is to saye / not to fasten ande to lowse agayne lawes / as the Pope / but to remytte or retayne synnes The sentence therfore / and the somme of the wordes of Christe is In this shall my kingdome consist / this shal be the maner of my kingdom Fâ—rst that men maye knowe them selves to be siÌ„ners And trulie that busines is geven in commissioÌ„ vnto my servaunt Moses / that by his lawe / he

maye bringe meÌ„ne into the knowledge of sinne / not because I wolde binde them for why they were bounde before / ande miserably chayned neyther shall I nowe do first that men may sinne or geve an occasioÌ„ to sinne / neither wil I have any thiÌ„ge to do with sinne as the Pope doth by his lawe and by his keies of bindyng / sayinge / there â—o be synne where none is but I shall have to doo wyth them that naturally are siÌ„ners / or have synned agaiÌ„st the commauÌ„dementes of God / that is to say / soche as contempâ—â€¦e God soche as beleve not in God / soch as despise the woorde of God / soche as gyue not vnto God his due obedience et cetera These sinnes that is to saye the contempâ—e of God / crudelite / blasphemie / inobedience and other lyke / are not made by the law of the Pope / but are very sinnes / cleauing and fasted in flesh and bloude / aÌ„d borne even wyth man / the which can not be absolued aÌ„d takeÌ„ awaie by the Pope / by the keye as he calleth it of remissyon aÌ„d absolucioÌ„ / after the sorte as he vseth it / but they cleave styll aÌ„d remayne in maÌ„ as loÌ„g as he leadeth this life / aÌ„d he caÌ„ not depose or laie theÌ„ a parte vtterly but with the life Wherfore that we maie escape froÌ„ these synnes / for the which eternall dampnacioÌ„ remained vnto vs / and be deliuered from the payne of everlastyng death Wath the kingdom of Chrâ—â€¦ For that is the kingdome of Christ appointed and erected / aÌ„d therfor every where he calleth that his kingdome / not an earthely kingdom or worldly or pollytike / but the kiÌ„gdome of heauen because even than it shall take the begiÌ„ning wheÌ„ this earthely kiÌ„gdom through death shall cease to be / that men may knowe howe after this life / leauing thys earthely kyngdome / they maye come into the heaueÌ„ly kiÌ„gdome Of thys my kiÌ„gdom sayth he thys shal be the maner / after this sort shal this my kiÌ„gdom be erected / stablisshed / delated aÌ„d gouuerned As my Father hath sent me / so do I also sende you et cetera That is to saie The office of the Apostles You Apostles aÌ„d your successours vntill the worldes ende shal be my messangers or Ambassadours / by whome I haue purposed to reigne in all the worlde / so that you must take vppon you the same office the which I haue done / vnto the which also I was seÌ„te That is to saie / that those maye be deliuered froÌ„ sinne and death / whiche do feale their sinne aÌ„d death / and desire to be deliuered froÌ„ them Ande contrary / that soche as desire not the helpe wherby they maie be redeamed from them / but do put it awaie / that those beying bound in sinnes to death aÌ„d detained / may so remaine This shal be your kingdome / this shal be your ministerie or seruice / ande this shal be your office that you shall take vppon you Vnto this kingdome it behoueth all soche to submitte them selues that are pressed downe and vexed with sinne / yf they wil be deliuered and lifted vp from them / and be partakers of the euerlasting lyfe Vnto those that lygh vnder the heauy waight of theyr synnes / lygh groning / aÌ„d are miserablie troubled / Christe biddeth vs to saye / that they shulde be of good coÌ„forte / aÌ„d not despayre because of theyr sinnes / but lett them knowe that Chryst by his death and resurrectyon / hath brought fourth vnto vs / the remissioÌ„ of all sinnes Yf they heare this ande beleve it / they are saintes and they are saved For yf their siÌ„nes be remitted / than hath death no ryght vppon them But these that feale not nor knowe theyr synnes / nor are feared wyth the feare of death / ande do not penaunce / but procede constauntely / geving them selues vnto bodely lustes / as the pleasure of the flesh requireth / and liuiÌ„g after the arbitremeÌ„t of the olde man / Vnto these we saye by the commaundement of Chryst / you shall remaine in sinne / in indignation ande eternall death For you aske no remission of sinnes and mercy / ande you do frowardely put from you and treade vnder fote everlastyng lyfe Who I praye the can expresse with wordes howe infinite / howe substanciall ande full of health this coÌ„forte is / that one maie opeÌ„ vnto an other with one worde the kingdom of heaueÌ„ / and close vp the gates of hell For as moche as in this kiÌ„gdom of grace the which Chryste hath instituted by his resurrectioÌ„ we do no other thiÌ„g thaÌ„ that we speake with opeÌ„ mouth I remitte vnto the thy synnes / not of my self / or by my propre power or vertue / but in the name and steade of Iesus Christ For why he saith not that you shall remitte synnes in your name for no man liuing can remytte or retaine synnes but he saith thus Like as my father hath sent me euen so I sende you I haue not done this by my counsell or arbitrement / but for this I was sent from my father And this commaundement I giue also vnto you / that you do the same vntyll the ende of this worlde / that you and all the world maie knowe this remission or retaining of synne / not to be done by the vertue or power of man / but by the coÌ„maundemeÌ„t of him that hath sent you This is not onely spoken of those that are ministers and preachers of the woorde of God / but of all faythfull Christianes Here maye euery vertuous man / coÌ„forte and absoile his neighboure in the agonie of death / ande other necessities ande temptacions When thou hearest of me thys woorde / then doest thou heare that god will haue mercy on the / aÌ„d deliuer the froÌ„ death aÌ„d synne / iustifie the aÌ„d saue the. But thou sayest I haue in dede harde the absolution of the / but who knoweth / whether it be certaine that my synnes also are forgeuen before God I answere Yf I had said and done that / as man or of mine owne or of any other maÌ„nes auctothoryte alonely / thaÌ„ so to saye aÌ„d to doubte / thou mightest not without cause / whether the absolutioÌ„ geuen / shuld be hereafter effectuall and auailable before God or no. And verely I haue hearde many / eueÌ„ in the extreme agony of death / doubtiÌ„g of this thiÌ„ge / sayinge / Oh woulde to god I knewe certaiÌ„ly that my siÌ„nes are forgeueÌ„ vnto me I wold buy the certitude therof with all my possiblities and goodes For albeit he be aparauÌ„tly neuer so good a maÌ„ne that pronouÌ„ceth the absolutioÌ„ / and as coÌ„cerning his oune parson / neuer so true / yet he that is grudged in conscience aÌ„d the minde that is careful / is not coÌ„teÌ„ted with him / yea if thou thinkest hiÌ„ to be a maÌ„ / and seest in hiÌ„ nothiÌ„g elles than maÌ„ /
