M. Luther a little before his end With most true comforts out of holy Scripture of the knowledge we shall haue of one another in the world to come Translated by W. R. S. LONDON Printed by Humfrey Lownes for Iohn Parker and are to be sold at his Shop in Paules Church yard at the sign of the three Pigeons 1624. The Translator to the Reader IT pleased Almighty God gentle Reader in his last great visitation 1603. amongst a great multitude of others to take to his mercy al my Children to the great griefe and sorrow of my heart which caused me to remember the saying of our Sauiour Iesus Christ in his holy Gospel If these things bee done vnto a greene Tree what shall bee done to a dry And therefore it beseemed mee rather to prepare for my selfe that I might bee ready when it pleased God to call mee then to lament for them which are at rest with Christ All which considered caused mee to reade ouer diuers comfortable Bookes and at last light vpon this which as it appeareth in the beginning of this book was first penned for the comfort of one that was in great affliction by reason of sicknesse who besides a great number of others receiued great comfort of the same for which cause it was first penned The like cōfort hath it by the goodnesse of God effected in mee which moued mee to vndertake the publishing hereof in as plaine and fruitfull manner as I could for the good of euery Christian without any borrowed phrases And therefore such as it is I commend to thy fauorable acceptance praying God that it may work such comfort in thee and in all other that shall reade it as it hath done in mee for the glory of his holy name vnto whose most mighty protection I commit thee Exhortations to make the sick desirous of death WE bee but strangers and soiourners as were all our fathers our daies on earth also are but as a shadow and there is no abiding The dayes of man are the daies of an hireling yea wind and nothing We are made as dust and must return to dust as a leaf that is carried of the winde dry stubble and a garment that is moth-eaten Man is burthened with many calamities he cometh vp is cut down like a flour and he lieth as it were a shadow short be his dayes and the Lord hath appointed him his bands which he shall not passe Where is there any man that liueth and soeth not death Our daies passe away swiftly and we are gone A man in his time is but as grass and florisheth as a flour of the field fo● as soon as the winde goeth ouer it it is gon and the place thereof knowes it no more Man is like to a thing of nought his daies passe away like a shadow Euery thing hath a time yea all that is vnder heauen hath his conuenient season There is a time to bee borne and a time to dy Death doth not forget him self By one man death entred into the world and went ouer all men and through one sin of one man all men are subiect vnto death All flesh is as grass and all the glory of man is as the flower of grasse Our life is euen as a vapor that appears for a little tune and then vanisheth away Héer haue we no continuing city but wée seek one to come Whatsoeuer hath béen borne since the beginning of the world vnto this day hath been subiect vnto death and whatsoeuer is yet aliue or shall be born must néeds die euery-while Whosoeuer receiueth life must also suffer death remedilesse On this condition camest thou into the world that thou shouldst leaue it again Thou hast béen sure of death euer since thou wast conceiued in thy mothers womb Whatsoeuer thou hast liued ouer the first day of thy birth is superfluous and too much and God hath suffred thee to liue long enough There is no remedy but that thou must néeds die and no man can saue thee nor defend thee for thou art dust and must bee turned into dust again Think none other in thy minde but that the end of thy life is comne This misery geeth not only euer thee for great and small rich and poor yong old Lord seruant man woman and all men must take this iourney in hand This debt hast thou owed a great while and thou must néeds pay it the sooner the better If thou shouldst be put to death or execution with a hundred more besides thy selfe what should it auaile thee whether thou were the first or the last He that is first dispatcht is soonest rid out of his pain Thou hast full well deserued at the hand of God to die a worse and a more sudden death wherefore thou art bound to thank him that hee handleth thee so graciously This life is short childehood flowes away like water youth and manhood are full of sin and labour age is full of infirmities although not one among a thousand doth attain to it This life is but a prison full of heauinesse calamity bondage incombrance painfulnesse labour trauailes vnlustinesse sinne diseases temptations yea 't is nothing but a crosse From all which miseries death dooth deliuer vs. The day of death is better than the day of birth In the day of birth thou art put to cold heat hunger thirst tediousnesse sinne and wretchednesse In the day of death art thou deliuered from all bodily impediments Therefore doo Iob and Ieremy curse not onely the day of birth but also him that brought the message to their father that a child was born The bitternesse of death which is sent thee passeth all the paine that euer thou dibst seele in all thy life but it lasteth not long and it is soon done Through the grace help of GOD canst thou wade through this danger drink this cup. Thou didst neuer truely feel the passion of Christ in all thy life wherefore now in the houre of death thou shalt patiently féel and taste In case the diuell by force for his last feat would proue himself vpon thee then bée thou sure that he is a mightlesse enemy and is ouercome by Christ and can gette no more at thy hand but onely as much as thou fearest him and doubtest in Christ If there happen vnto thée any fearfull temptation giue thanks to God that he handleth thee so gratiously for thou art worthy to haue a more grieuous punishment The wicked spirit which tempted Christ wil not leaue thée vntempted but hée cannot preuaile against thée for he hath nought in Christ nor in thée Many temptations shall assault thee which thou must patiently suffer thinking that the Lord might iustly send thée greater temptations which neuerthelesse he leaues vndone

But the Baker that is the vngodly dreameth alwaies of the Diuell and how the birds doe eate his Bread out of the Basket The Birds are the Diuels which eate away Gods word from him Such eating and gnawing must they féele for euer whereof wee haue a similitude which our Elders fained of Prometheus that the Eagle did eate out his heart and the heart did grow within him againe and the eating neuer had end The same doe the wicked féele truely as the wofull tragedy of the Rich man sheweth That there are two resurrections whereby all men may direct themselues God causeth to bee preached vnto vs in the time of Grace Therefore whosoeuer will escape such euerlasting gnawing eating consciences hellish paine and torment let him take hold of the sweete doctrine of the Holy Gospell and in the Sacraments put therewith comfort into his heart trust and beléeue as Gods word doth plentifully shew him for so it must bée as Christ very comfortably promiseth Mark 16. Whosoeuer beleeueth and is baptized shall be saued Amen A Prayer O Euerlasting God and Father which art not a God of the dead but of the liuing For in thée doe all they liue which rest vnder the Earth in their Chambers Wee pray thy fatherly goodnesse that thou wilt not let the thinking of death or of his sting bee a feare vnto vs but wilt through grace of thy holy Spirit keepe vs in she right faith of thy déere Sonne who is the truth and life and giue vs a good conscience that wee may liue Christianly and depart happily out of this vale of miserie sleepe in peace and ioy ' and rest quietly vntill thou open our Graues And thorough the sound of the trumpet bée waked againe to life through Iesus Christ our Lord Amen 1. Cor. 15. It is sowed a naturall body c. HEere the Holy Ghost vseth another word and calleth Dying To be sowed which is a friendly similitude wee are the Wheatcornes as Christ himselfe saith Ioh. 12 Now is the séed which the Husbandman soweth glory and bring foorth much fruit whereon God the holie Trinitie shall haue euerlasting ioy and pleasure Therefore should wee not bée afraide of death A Prayer O Lord Iesus Christ come and sowe vs and our Children in thy Churchyard that wee neuer neede to bee afraide for any trouble néede warres or hearts sorrow Amen Luke 2. The old man Simeon singeth Lord now lettest thou thy Seruant depart in peace THis olde Christian Simeon calleth Death a Departing in Peace which is also the saying of the Holie Ghost for there is nothing in our whole body vpon earth but vnrestfulnesse and disquietnesse one after another But when we our Lord and GOD shall goe out of this vale of miserie and come into our euerlasting Countrey then come wee vnto Peace What man would not then once haue also such peace and rest Philip 1. I desire to depart or to bée dissolued and to bee with Christ which is also much better HEere Saint Paul calleth Death A Dissoluing or a departure for héere we are bound to sinnefull flesh to paines and labour and cannot sooner bee quit thereof then through the happie houre 2. Pet. 1. I know that I shall quickly put off my Tabernacle SAint Peter nameth Death héere the Going out of a poore ruinated sinfull and wofull Habitation and to be remooued into a glorious paradise or to put off an olde worne gowne and to put on an immortall and heauenly apparell whereof we ought by good reason to reioyce Esay 26. Go hence my people into a chamber and shut the doore after thée hide thée awhile till the indignation bee ouerpast Esay 57. The righteous are plueked away from their misfortune and they which haue wandred righteously do come into peace and rest in their chambers HOW friendly and ioyfully speaketh the Holie Ghost of the death of Christians and giueth the same fiue beautifull names First Dying hee calleth Going into a Chamber to goe into a pleasant Parlour as often-times a man buildeth a pleasant roome for himselfe where hee would willingly héee alone and bee quiet from his children and houshold Secondly he nameth death Hiding one a while till Gods wrath and punishment bee ouerpast as when one stands vnderneath for soule weather or hideth his daughter when an army passes thorow so doth the Lord God lay vs vp that no misfortune hurt vs. Thirdly Death is called Plucking away from misfortune for when GOD will punish the World for their sinnes hee taketh first his Christians away gathereth them together remooueth them into a place of safetie that they be not hurt Fourthly it is called Departing in peace as Simeon did Fiftly Resting in their chambers for else vpon earth will be small rest or peace But the Graue of the Christians hee calleth our Chambers and resting beds wherein no man shall disquiet vs or awake vs nor any man can driue vs out There would many a one also haue gladly a resting Chamber vpon Earth and buildeth often with great charges in quiet places euen where hee heareth no knocking or running especially when hee is sick but all is to no effect for on Earth is no such fléeping Chamber to bée had wee are awaked with care sorrow need world and Diuell So are our Chambers vpon earth but hired Chambers although wee haue bought them wee know not when wee shall goe foorth of them But the Chambers in the Church-yard are quiet and our owne There shall no care sickenesse nor Diuell make vs vnquiet neyther shall anie man driue vs out till the Lord Iesus awake vs to euerlasting life This is comfortably and ioyfully spoken of the death of Christians and of the Graue Hee that beléeueth it will béeglad from his heart for the houre Philip. 1. Christ is my life and Death is my gaines SAint Paul giueth Death heere a fayre name his greatest and best gaines for there hee layeth in exchange a mortall needefull defectiue sinnefull weake sicke and vnperfect body and taketh for the same againe for vsurie and gaines an euerlasting immortall holy strong and spirituall body which may be called a Gaines who would be afraid to die Psal 116. The death of his Saints is precious in the sight of the Lord. BEfore the world and our fiue Senses nothing is more horrible nor terrible yea nor more dishonourable then death and a dead body But before the face of Almightie God the Death of Christians is the fairest Relique Gen. 15. God saith to Abraham Thou shalt goe to thy Fathers with peace HEere God himselfe nameth Death a Going home into his Country and to come to his Parents and Friends And withall vpon the iourney to be conducted with peace As a childe that hath beene long amongst strangers reioyceth in his heart that hee may once goe home so should wee also reioyce when our deaths houre approacheth that wee may goe home into our euerlasting Country and with all Christendome haue an euerlasting Nuptiall day and
