more will I giue That you may haue abundance still He that hath not although he greeue Shall loose all that against his will For seeing they shall neither see Nor hearing heare as you heare me This Prophesie Esayas spake Which now in them fulfilled is I will this people surely make By hearing so to heare iwis That they shall not yet vnderstand Nor thinke on that which is at hand This peoples heart is waxen fat Their eares of hearing deaffe and dull They with their eyes haue winked at The truth least they should see it full Heare and perceiue it as yee doe And turne that I might heale them to But blessed are your eyes they see Your eares also do heare the same All you thereto appointed be For you and such I surely came The rest of sinne are very full And shall remaine both blind and dull Christ interpreted to his disciples the parable of the seed This Parable heare yee therefore When that a man Gods word doth heare And vnderstands thereof no more Then ere he heard it may appeare The deuill did catch the word away That seed by the way side it lay He that had seed in stonie ground Did heare the word and that with ioy Yet had no roote he was not sound He dured not for eu'ry toy When trouble for the word shall be Offended very soone is he He that receiueth seed also Among the thornes are they that heare The word of God yet go it fro For worldly cares in them appeare Deceitfulnesse of riches make Gods word in them no place can rake But he that doth receiue the seed In the good ground is euen he That heares the word and doth indeed Gods word perceiue it for to be This beareth fruite an hundreth fold Some sixtie some thirtie be bold The second parable of the good seed and of the tares declaring likewise the state and condition of Gods word Another parable Christ spake The kingdom of heau'n is I say Much like one that good seed did take And sowed it and went away But while men slept the enemy Did sowe tares there immediatly And when the blade sprung vp in sight And brought forth fruite then did appeare The tares that he had fowne by night The seruants seeing said with feare Didst not thou Maister sowe good seed Whence commeth then this filthie weede He said the enuious man it is That hath done this the seruants say Wilt thou that we go gather this And plucke it vp to cast away Nay while about the tares ye go Lest ye plucke vp the wheate also Let both grow till the haruest come Then will I to the reapers say The tares now gather to one roome And binde them in the fire to lay My wheate see yee that reapers are It be brought to my barne with care This parable declareth well The state and the condition Of Gods word writ in the Gospell The doctrine of saluation The housholder soweth the seeed The deu'll sowes tares and other weed The 3. parable of the mustard seed wherein is set foorth the nature of Gods word Another parable againe Christ put forth to them saying this Gods kingdome like vnto a graine Of mustard seed assured is Which man doth sow within his field That it some fruit to him may yeeld This seed of seedes is least of all Of hearbes it growes the greatest one And is a tree though not so tall Yet birds may breed his branch vpon The nature of Gods word iwis Is very well comparde to this For though this seed is very small And subiect to contempt therefore Yet it of hearbes growes great'st of all And birds therein do breed some store Gods word at first seemes so I say Yet groweth great each day by day And sharpe in tast is mustard seed Yet heateth man though bitingly So is Gods word in very deed Sharpe to the minde yet soule healthy Of him that takes of this a graine It sharply heateth eu'ry vaine The fourth parable of the leauen declaring also thereby the nature of Gods word A parable then like the last Iesus put forth to them againe To proue the nature force and tast That in Gods word doth sure remaine It is like leauen laide in meale That leaueneth it eu'ry deale As little leauen leaueth not Till it haue leauened the meale So Gods word searcheth eu'ry knot Or vaine in man his sores to heale The one makes bread tast well in deed The other man which most hath need In parables spake Iesus then Vnto the people that were there He would not speake vnto those men This otherwise as may appeare That it might be fulfilled so Which Dauid spake so long ago My mouth I will open saith he In parables and shew to man The things that now so hidden be And haue bene since the world began Then Iesus sent the men away For there he made no longer stay Christ went into the house where he declared to his Disciples desiring it the meaning of the two parables of the tares When Christ into the house was come Then his Disciples to him say Declare to vs the very summe And certaine meaning we thee pray Of the same tares so in the field We can no reason of them yeeld Then Christ did answer them againe He that there sowed the good seed It was the sonne of man certaine The field it is the world in deed The good seed are Gods children sure The tares the wicked and vnpure The enemie the deuill it is The haruest of the world is end The Angels are reapers iwis Which to his haruest God will send And as the tares are burnt in deed The wicked so in hell shall speed The sonne of man then forth shall send His Angels for to gather all That in his kingdome do offend And still from sinne to sinne do fall These to hell fire shall be cast tho Where they shall gnash their teeth for wo. Then shall the iust men shining be As is the Sunne in greatest light In the kingdome of heau'n said he Abiding in their fathers sight See ye these words receiue in feare With humble heart and open eare The fift parable of the treasure hid in the field declareth the worthinesse of Gods word While Christ did in the house remaine As he had done by the sea side He spake in parables againe To such as did with him abide The worthinesse declared he And of what price Gods word should be Like treasure hid within a field Gods kingdome is which when one found In hope it would much profit yeeld He hid the same within the ground For ioy and hope such wealth to wield That man sold all to buy that field The sixt parable of the pearles declaring as before the worthinesse of Gods word Againe he said Gods kingdome is Like to a warie marchant man That sought pearles and found one of price To buy the which this marchant can

Nor by Ierusalem for this The Citie of the king it is Nor by thine head thou canst not make One haire thereof as blacke or white Most vaine are they that othes do take And vaine those that in othes delight Let ye and nay declare your will What so is more doth come of ill Of Reuenge Reuenge not though the law be so That eye or tooth must be repayde When one doth smite thee as a foe Vse patience be not dismay'd And he that for thy coate will sue Giue him thy cloake and more then due If one compell thee for a myle Do thou at least go with him twaine The asker do thou not reuile Giue thou and lend without disdaine To do men good be ready still And slow to do thy neighbour ill Loue thine enemie Loue thou say they thy neighbour well Thine enemy thy selfe may hate Of vertues loue doth all excell What so the Pharisies do prate Your enemies loue not the worse And blesse you them that do you curse Do good to them that do you hate Pray for them that you persecute They sure shall haue a blessed state My fathers will that execute He makes his sunne and rayne to fall On good and bad alike to all If man do loue or frendly be To him that doth to him the same What thankes for that deserueth he Each sinner must do this for shame Haue you therefore regard of this Be perfit as your father is Almes By sound of trumpe and in mens sight As hypocrites are wont to do To giue thine almes is not aright They gape for prayse and get no mo In secret giue what God hath sent God will reward thy good intent Prayer Pray not as hypocrites do pray All open to be seene of men But when thy prayers thou will say Shut close in chamber be thou then Pray to thy father secretly He will reward thee openly Much babling see thou do not vse Nor repetitions they are vaine The heathen hope for like abuse Some great reward thereby to gaine Be not like them for God in deed Before ye aske doth know your need The Lordes Prayer Pray thus when ye do pray therefore Our father which in heauen art Thy name be hallow'd euermore Thy kingdome we desire in hart Thy will in earth make vs to do As it in heau'n is euen so Giue vs this day our dayly bread Our debtes forgiue vs we thee pray As we our debters do and lead Vs not Oh Lord by any way Into temptation but see From euill we deliu'red be For thine good Lord the kingdome sure The power and the glorie is For euermore for to endure Which

while you liue In loue and concord must remaine If you forgiue not other men Your faultes God will not forgiue then Fast Moreouer when that ye do fast Looke not sowre as the hypocrite That time as vayne they vainly wast For God therein hath no delite Their faces they disfigure to That men may see what then they do When thou doest fast annoint thy head And let thy face then washed be Seeme not to men as one halfe dead Let God thy deedes in secret see Thy heau'nly father both regards Thy fast and theirs haue their rewards The carefull seeking of worldly things forbidden On earth hoord vp no treasure so Where moath and canker eate apace Lest with them you do heape on woe There theeues men voyde of better grace Breake vp thus they for riches deale When digging through mēs wealth they steale But lay your treasures vp aboue In heau'n where none of these are found You on your treasures set your loue Lay not your loue so on this ground But lay it where is no decay Earth will corrupt and fade away The eye doth giue the body light And reason rules the inner man If cleare and sound remaine the sight No darknesse hurt that body can If thine eye wicked be then marke Sure all thy body shall be darke Two masters well no man can serue For truly he the one will hate And for the other loue reserue This of mans life is right the state God and your riches disagree They may not both then

spinne or carde they do not know Yet Salomon to you I say Was not aray'd like one of theafe The grasse if God do so aray Can he not cloth you if he please The faithfull neuer fayle to speed God more regards you then a weed For meate for drinke for cloth alway Take ye no thought at all therefore The Gentiles seeke these day by day Your heau'nly father euermore Will all your wants relieue in deed He knoweth well what things ye need Gods kingdome if ye do seeke first You can not wish but you
