12.19 thy time is not yet come yet it is good being heere Whereupon the Lord sendeth his third Sumner that is all grieuing sicknes which paineth the bodie vnquieteth the minde which maketh their wonted pleasures very irkesome to them yet d 2. Cor. 16.12 sicke man then feedeth himselfe with a vaine hope of life seeketh to the Physition but not to God and if to God yet then it is with his hartiest prayers that he might liue Whereupon the Lord seeing the sonnes of Adam thus to shift his presence he sendeth forth his last Sumner fearful death which perforce without delay or farther shifting bringeth man before he is prepared to Gods high court of iustice there to receiue his finall doome this is that which is heere mentioned Thou must die thou shalt not liue Although thou wast a Dan. 4.11 that goodly tree of which Daniel maketh mention whose top reacheth vp to heauen and whose branches ouer-spread the quarters of the earth yet if the most high shall send his watch-man to hew thee downe downe thou must thou canst not stand thy leaues shall wither thy fruit shall fall Although thou wast as faithfull as Abraham pious as Daniel powerfull as Eliah beloued as Dauid and mights liue so many hundred yeeres as the Fathers are said in the first age of the world yet in the end of thee it shall be spoken which was said of them b Gen. 29.5.27.5.5 And they died Nay although thou haddest the vtmost of Physickes skill and the PhysitioÌ„ waited in thee euery change although thy friends the comfort of the sicke enuiron thy bed and thy pious children powre forth tearefull prayers for thy longer life yet loth to depart thou must take them by the hand and if thou wilt not set thine house in order yet thou must die Thus must all flesh kisse the earth with Brutus which is our mother and the very price of beautie c Iob 17.14 must say vnto corruption Thou art my father and to the wormes rottennes thou art my brother thou art my sister For we al d Iob 1.21 came naked into the world and naked we must returne nay e Gen. 3.19 we were all taken out of the earth and vnto earth we must returne againe f Hebr. 9.7 It is decreed that all must die All there is none excepted must there is no remedie When Saladine the great conquerer found himselfe arrested by death he caused a spade and a winding-sheet to be carried about his campe and proclamation to be made These are the conquests of Saladine Heare O ye bladders puffed with pride which hunger after the glory of the world and in your desires haue swallowed vp the riches of the earth that a spade and a winding-sheete are the conquests of Saladine the forth and fruit of your desires I was all things said Seuerus the Emperour dying at Yorke but now am nothing this all things O ye great ones with which now you braue and please your selues vnto you dying shall be as nothing Awaken therefore your sleepie soules and giue eare to this summons God sendeth to you know that you were borne to die And pray vnto God as Dauid in the Psalme g Psal 90.12 Teach me O Lord thou canst not teach thy selfe thy wealth and world enchaunts thy mind to number my daies that they are h Gen. 47.11 but few and euill as Iacob said that so at the length thou mayest applie thy heart vnto wisedome to attaine that life which euer shall endure where thou shalt serue God without sinne line without all feare of death where thou shalt neuer be taken away from the sweete companions of thy blessed life nor they froÌ„ thee Then shal a Philip. 1.23 death feared of other be desired of thee and in the russe of all thy greatest prosperitie thou shalt haue a longing to be with thy Christ b Psal 27.13 there to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing You haue heard the summons sent vnto you from the Iudge of the world you must all die you shal not liue Now consider the reason why this summons is sent vnto you euen to this end and for this cause that you should set your house your selues in order By thy house if thou vnderstand thy temporall affaires set them in order dispose of them in time leaue not thy substance a matter of variance to thy posteritie and for that which is thine let thine heire be beholding to thee and not to other For often times it falleth out when men die intestate and without a will that they haue much of their goods whom they would to haue little and they that haue most do little thanke them because they haue it not of their gift but by an ordinarie course of Law Dispose therefore of thy temporall affaires and bind the receauers of thy goods in a thankfull remembrance vnto thy selfe when by thy made will they see that that which thou hast giuen vnto them thou mightest if thou wouldest haue bequeathed to other And doe it in time for why shouldest thou cause the world to fasten on thee that deserued rebuke that thou wouldest still liue and art loath to die or that loath to leaue them thou wouldest carry thy goods with thee vnto thy graue Yea doe it in time for vnto what times hast thou reserued these thoughts when thou shouldest wholly busie thy selfe in making thy soule ready for thy God theÌ„ as a bird taken in alime-bush the which the more she fluttereth the more she is limed thou weariest thy musing soule in thy secular affaires without all free thought or care of God And indeed what time is this Bernard conc ad diuites as Bernard speaketh to make thy wil and to dispose of thine estate when thy head aketh thy hand shaketh thy tongue faultereth thy hart groaneth and thy many grieuous paines doe so trouble thy thoughts that neither thy writing nor thy words can well expresse or make knowne thy mind A weake soule thou art then easily led to do that thou neuer mindest Thy wil then not thine but the will of some other which may best perswade thee And if then thine euen as thou wouldest yet see how one word inserted in some place may alter thy meaning in some maine matter how two or three witnesses carry away all In time therefore dispose of thy worldly affaires whilest thy thoughts are free affections stayed and when at thy leasure thou maiest maturely peruse that which before time thou hast done So shall thy testament be testatio mentis a witnes of thy mind and the will thou hast made thy wil and not the will of another man And if thou oughtest thus to dispose of thy worldly affaires how much rather shouldest thou seeke to prepare and dispose of thy soule to cast vp thy reckonings since thou art forthwith without all delay to giue account of thy stewardship vnto God For as

willingly performe Wherefore grow low Ã´ ye helpfull Violets bee not only good but be good and subject to your husbands Hierom. Epist. 14. cap. 6. And as Hierom writ to Celantia so I to you Let the authority of thy husband be vpholden by thee and let all the house learne of thee to honor him do thou shew him to be a master by thy obsequiousnes to be great by thy humblenes for in this thou shalt be the more reuerenced by how much the more thou doest reuerence him Thirdly the Violet is sweet Let not this moue your patience Ã´ ye maried wiues that I present vnto you this low growing Violet although it grow low yet which in the third place I obserue the Violet is sweete For such are ye women full of sweetnes full of loue That which is spoken of Christs Spouse in the Canticles Cantic 4.10 hath place in you Faire is thy loue better then wine sweeter then the sauor of all spices thy lips drop as hony-combes so sweete are her words thy plants are as an Orchard of Pomegranats so sweet are her deeds Although God made Eue subiect yet God also made her sweet Sweet in her fauour sweete in her cariage by which shee mastereth the heart of man and draweth him in loue vnto her liking Although man be hard and heauie as the iron that will not bow or hardly moue yet her sweet loue shall be as the Adamant that shal draw him to her and cause him to forsake father and mother the things of high price and to cleaue to her Wherefore forget not your nature Ã² ye sweet Violets the Violet alway smelleth sweet Take view I pray you of your dainty selues how with sweet odors you are delighted and with ill sauors you are nothing pleased and by your selues measure your husbands it is the sweete and not the sowre that is gratefull to them I pray you consider that although the sweete Rose hath prickles yet the Violet hath none that it is the sweetnes and not the prickles that pleaseth man Fourthly the Violet is cooling As the Violet is sweete so is it also cooling and such should you wiues be vnto your husbands for since there are often two vnseemely heats in man the one of lust the other of anger the woman as a sweet cooling Violet is to asswage them both For to speake first of the fire of his lust how it may be quenched the Apostle sheweth to auoyd fornication let euery man haue his wife It is the wife 1. Cor. 7 12. and not the harlot that should quench those lustfull flames 1. Cor. 7.9 It is better to marry than to burne For to man the wife is giuen a remedie of his lust a meanes for him to auoid fornication a sweet cooler to abate this heate Withdraw not therefore this your helpe from your husbands but giue vnto them as the Apostle speaketh due beneuolence 1. Corinth 7.3 Vers 4. for the woman hath not power ouer her owne body but the man The which cooling help if she shal deny when he lawfully requireth it by that she may bee in part a cause Vers 5. that Satan tempt her husband vnto vncleannesse and for that make him to blame her as some cause of his folly It may be a fault in him at sometime to require it yet is theÌ„ thy yeelding no fault in thee if otherwise he will not be satisfied August contr Jouin. cap. 10. this is as Augustine speaketh venialis in vxore in meretrice damnabilis pardonable in a wife though damnable in an harlot It was an error of Syricius the Pope who adiudged sinfull euery carnall coniunction of man and woman abusing those words of the Apostle That they that were in the flesh could not please God For God made male and female Genes 1.27 Vers 28. he willeth them to increase and fill the earth which yet they could not without carnall coputation he said not only of mariage Hebr. 13.4 but of the carnall vse of the maried The bed vndefiled is honorable among all men The which Gregorie the great acknowledged Gregor mag in Psal Poenit. 4. Men are not therefore conceiued in sinne because it is a sin for maried folkes carnally to know one another for that is a chast worke and no fault in the maried couple because the nuptiall contract is not exorbitant from faith God appointing mariage and the coniunction too in that he made them male and female Wherefore since the bed vndefiled is honorable a chast worke in the maried couple shew your selues cooling Violets to your husbands Gods ordained remedies for their lust The other heate which sometime is vnseemely in man is the heate of anger by which all inflamed he is caried beyond all bounds of reason to doe the things that are not good this also by her milde and patient cariage the woman must seeke to coole and to lay the stormes of those blustering winds although it be with the showers of her teares August confes lib. 9. cap. 9. For although she may not as Augustine speaketh in the praise of his mother either in word or deed resist her moued husband yet to him she must be a cooling Violet to asswage his anger a meanes to bring him to his wonted quiet And if to thee Ã´ woman any thing seemeth may be better ordered as Augustine aduised a matron so I do thee Aug. epist. 199. Reuerently impart it to thy husband yet alway follow his authoritie as thy heads that all may blesse the peace of your house Yea if thy lot should fall so hard as that thy husband to thee should proue a Nabal 1. Sam. 25.3 Vers 17. churlish euill conditioned yea so wicked that a man may not speake to him as the very seruants complained of their maister yet do thou performe the part of Abigail Vers 24. in seeking to pacifie those whom he hath offended and in all reuerence when opportunity serueth Vers 37. impart to thy husband his danger and his fault Thus be to your husbands Ã´ ye wiues sweet cooling Violets to quench the heate of their lust and anger Fifthly the Violet is cordiall And yet before wee leaue this Violet remember that which in the last we obserued it is cordial Such is a woman to her husband when she is loyall She should not suffer any strange fire to burne on her altar nor in her soyle any base stockes to grow which her husband hath not planted Shee must remember that of them two the Scripture saith Genes 2.24 Matth. 19.6 that they are become one flesh she may not ioyne it to another If he be not loyall nor keepe faith with her yet must she with him Matth. 5.32 she hath vowed it before Christ his church she must therefore euer cleaue to her husband and despise all other and as the Marigold that opens and shuts with the Sunne so alone with

to bee followers of their vertues that so they might bee partakers of their prayses let not these our speeches be vnpleasing to any neither let the studious of noueltie seeke to disgrace this laudable custome which to so good vses of all antiquitie hath bin approued For as Hierom speaking of Paula a vertuous woman a Hieron epist. 27. cap. 13. 2. Chron. 32.33 All assembled themselues when Paula was dead they thought it a sacrilege not to do this last dutie to such a woman So since this great and honorable assemblie doth thus honor our deceased to his graue I cannot be wanting in this my last duty vnto him And although his senselesse corps perceiueth not that is done vnto him and therefore it may seeme to some a thankelesse duty yet as a token of our true loue we leaue this with thee O thou beloued know as Augustine speaketh b August de ciuit Dei lib. 1. cap. 13. Jdem de cura pro mort cap. 3. That such pious duties do please the Lord. But where shall I begin in a poore place of poore yet honest parents he was borne aduanced by God to this wealth and worship and made the first of knowne note in his fathers house Thus God from the sheepe-fold called Dauid and gaue to this sonne of the earth to bee a Knight and to sit among the great ones of the Citie From out of this roote hath sprunge twelue liuing branches nine sons three daughters the gifts of God and the parents comfort Blesse thy gifts O God vnto her comfort and let the desired memory of their departed father still liue and bee remembred in them Whither shall I go His affable nature and most louely carriage desiring to doe good both to poore and rich his respectiue dutie vnto his betters and ready obseruance to be at their command his many imployments in this Citie causes and faithfull diligence wading through al his answering trust to his reposing friends and ready hand to helpe them at all times of need his kind entreatie of the poorest of his kin and willingnes to embrace the loue of strangers his bountie to the needie at home and abroad and purse supplying schollers wants his set weekely contributions to the poore whilest he liued and Wil giuing to them a childs part being dead maketh me entreate you as a Basil Concio de Sanct. Mamante Martyre Basil did his hearers in a funerall Sermon he maketh of Mamantes the Martyr that euery of you which haue been holpen pleasured or thus entreated by him or which can truly witnes this his kind and vertuous carriage would helpe me with the sweete flowers of your true reports to adorne his Herse That as many the b 2. Chron. 16.14 cap. 21.19 Kings of Iudah were said to be buried with sweete odors and diuers kinde of spices so wee may burie this our brother with the sweete reports of his well deeded life and the spiced odors of his happie death And to begin this is my flower best beseeming him and most pleasing me that as he grew in worship so he grew in pietie This doth witnes with me your morning Sermon by him notwithstanding his employments often frequented this the Preachers of the Word in greater loue than before respected this his prayers with his household in greater deuotion than before time followed Smell sweete pious flower spread forth thy odors he liueth well that liueth with his God Follow with your flowers and c Prou. 10.7 let the memorie of the iust be followed with praises when the name of the wicked as a snuffe of a candle shall goe foorth with stinke I will not excuse whatsoeuer his infirmities hee was a man and carried about him a bodie of flesh yet play not thou the part of a kite or puttocke which passeth ouer many sweete and pleasant things and gorgeth himselfe with garboyle and carrion for if thou doest many that heare me this day will speake against thy vile and base affection and to thy face shall shew as Gregorie speaketh of his brother Basil that his vices were better than thy vertues Greg. Nazian monod. in mag Basilium Couer therefore whatsoeuer his infirmities with a louely silence and since the Lord hath cast them behinde him and drowned them in the bottome of the sea let them die with him and with his dead carkasse let them be buried in his graue Thus he liued the loue of the world the desire both of poore rich And thus he died euen in the height of al his prosperitie being but newly entred into this place of worship and as another Hezechiah laid on the bed of his sicknes by turning to the wall praying weeping hee makes himselfe readie for his God For after he had set an order to his worldly affaires hee withdrew his thoughts from all worldly businesse and sought to holie that little remnant of his short life vnto the Lord. This his continued silence doth witnes when yet he knew all that came vnto him saluted theÌ„ by name but would not haue any further speech with them This that speech of his to me the first morning I saw him The Lord hath visited me but yet he hath not giuen me ouer as a pray vnto mine enemie O Lord thinke vpon me for thy mercie that I may still shew foorth thy truth This that which is written of dying Ierome a Eusebius de mort Hieron O my friends interrupt not my approching ioy doe not hinder me from yeelding to the earth that which is the earths For vrged to take by the entreatie of many friends his last but fruitlesse potion as though in it were life without it death for a while hee resolutely withstood and protested he would not take it for a thousand pound And when hee was further moued to take it by one that loued him and his hee replied I pray you mooue mee not you would reckon him vnwise that would take fortie shillings when hee might haue three pound that would accept of a life in this world when he might haue a life in heauen Thus as it is written of Austin b Possidon de vit August not ashamed to liue he feared not to die because he knew he had a gratious Lord. The which he further shewed for when the tongue failed and denied to make knowne the meaning of his heart and when many of vs that were present supposed for many houres before his departure that he was bereued of sense and knowledge being at the length to depart this world of himselfe vnmotioned raising vp his hands lifting them vnto the heauens and with the one knocking of his breast not as an euill seruant but as a cheerefull sonne hee gaue vp the ghost and as it is said of faithfull Abraham went vnto his fathers in peace Wherefore to turne from him againe vnto you do not only c Num. 23.10 wish with Balaam but endeuour whilst you liue that your soules may die the death of the iust and that your latter ends may be like vnto his And since hee so blessedly liued and blessedly died although thou canst not stop the floods of thy kinde affection d Eccles 38.16 but must needes bring foorth thy teares and make lamentation ouer the dead as one that hath suffred a great losse yet in so great an hope of his assured good let not the Temple of God be ouer sad e 1.
