accepted and youre sacrifyces haue not pleased me Agayne put youre burnte offringes to your sacrifices eate y ● flesh for I dyd not speake with youre fathers neither dyd I commaūd thē on y ● daye whā I broughte thē oute of the lande of Egypte any thyng at all of burn●e offringes and sacrifices but I commaūd thē this word sayeng Heare you my voyce I shalbe your god and ye shall be my people walke in euerye waye that I haue cōmaunded you that ye may prosper But they would not once heare me nor geue attendaunce to me but they followed their owne pleasures and walked in the lewdnes of theyr malicious hertes so that they fel clene frō me To what purpose do ye offer vnto me the multitude of your sacrifices sayeth the LORDE I am full of them The burnte offringes of youre wethers and the fatte of youre fatlynges and the bloude of youre calues of your lambes gotes woulde not I haue Whan ye come before my syghte who requyreth these thynges of your hādes Offer I praye you no more Sacrifyce to me thus in vayne Your ensence is abhominacion to me Your Sabbothes and holye dayes by no meanes can I away with He that offereth an oxe is lyke to hym that kylleth a man He y t sleyeth a beast is lyke vnto hym that braynethe a dogge He that offereth an oblaciō is lyke vnto hym that offereth swynes bloude Here le ye y t God hathe no pleasure in these externall sacrifices but rather abhorreth them Then perceyue you full well that this is no waye to delyuer your selues out of captyuitie to obtayne the fauoure of God What wyll ye now do Wyl ye inuent new thiges of your owne fātasy offer thē to God of a good intent that by this meanes he maye be the more mercyfull to you This also is yet mooste vayne For yf thynges prescribed commaunded of God himselfe can not ●btaynē for you remyssyon of your synnes what shall than your dreames youre fantasies your inuencions your good intētes your godly zeles do in this behalfe Uerely ye are in a miserable case For ye maye not put any thynge to the word of God nor yet plucke ought from it Ye muste walke in the way that God hath appoynted you neyther maye ye declyne on the ryghte hande nor on the lyfte hand Yea ye maye not do to your LORDE god y ● which ye thynke best in your owne eyes but that only whiche he commaundeth you Here therfore is no euasion nor way to escape y ● fearce plages of God Certes the longer ye wrastle and entāgle your selues in this behalfe the worsse ye are so farre as I can perceyue so vnable are ye of your selues in any poynte to satisfy Goddes wrath to make hym your frende What refuge then can ye nowe inuente yet is there nothynge before your eyes set but only desperacion eternall death for ye haue deserued no other y e rewarde of syn is death Certes the hooke is layde at the roote of the tree that euery tree that bryngeth forthe not good fruyte shalbe hewen downe caste into the fyre Howe nowe wyll ye escape from the wrathe that is to come Wo be vnto them that synne and kepeth not my cōmaundementes sayeth y e LORDE surely I wyll not spare thē Sinners shalbe turned into hell yee and all those people that forget God For God shall raygne snares vpon synners fyre brymestone storme and tēpest shall be parte of theyr cuppe As smoke decayeth so shall the wycked decay and as waxe meltethe before y ● face of the fyre so shal synners perysh before the face of God The moost hyest hateth synners he wyll be reuenged of the wycked The soule y ● hath synned shal dye The countenaunce of the LORDE is vpon them that do euell that he may roote the remembraūce of thē out of y ● erth He that cōmytteth synne is of the dyuell For the dyuell synneth from the begynnynge God is a consumyng fyre It is a dreadfull thyng to fall into the hādes of the lyuyng god Wo be to you therfore O ye vngodly men which haue forsakē the lawe of the LORDE that moost high god If that ye be borne in cursing shall ye be borne yf ye dye in cursīg also shalbe your part what wil ye now do Here ye se nothyng but malediction cursynge wrath vengeaunce destruction perdicion dānacion Here perceyue ye no waye to escape the greate displeasure of god but only to precipitate caste your selfe headlong into hell pytte to be burnte w t the continuall flames of that moost terrible and greuous fyre Remedye is there none all conforte is gone besydes sorowe and mournyng nothing here doth appeare o the miserable case wherin ye stonde Me thynk I se you nowe agayn very sory much lamentyng wryngyng your handes tearyng youre heere cursynge the tyme of youre byrth hauyng pleasure in nothing walkyng as persons īdistresse void of al consolacion and conforte verely I haue broughte you into thys case y ● your ioy afterward should be the greater and that you shoulde haue the more pleasaunte and ioyefull newes whiche I nowe bringe to you oute of heauen For no man knoweth what a precious thyng a Phisicion is excepte fyrste of all he sealeth hymselfe diseased perceyueth that he hath nede of a Phisicion yf he intende to enioye the benefyte of health They that are strōge haue no neade of a Phisicion but they that are sycke Nowe therfore heare agayne your moost pleasaūt newes that youre sadnes maye be turned into ioye that youre ioye maye be ful and perfecte God perceyuynge in what myserable case Adam and all his posterite was set thorowe the brekynge of his moost blessed and holye commaundement agayne that by the enuy of Satan death was come ouer all the worlde wyllynge of his owne free mercye withoute ony of your merites or desertes to shewe hym selfe of no lesse puissaunce to saue man that the dyuell was to condēpne hym sayd at that present to Satan whan Adam had offended I wyll set emnite betwene the and an woman betwene thy seede and her seed and that selfe seed shall treade downe thy
