yet best men sorrow Alas to sing songs to a heauie heart is Nero-like that plaide on his harpe while the Citie was burning the Greeke Orator said well 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 wha is out of season is out of reason if an Ah of a sigh or a groane bends and rends the hart with such a tangit angit what thinke you of this Oh? this Alas this Vae the note for the most part saith Chrisostom of damnation eternall it is at least a vehement sorrow that turnes lumina in flumina in fontem frontem eyes into teares and face into a fountaine Ier. 9.1 yea that turnes all faces in auruginem palenesse Ier. 30.6 as in the verse before Yea into blacknes blacker then blacknes Lamentations 4.8 and Pagnine and Vatablus so translate it Sad and mournefull lookes declare a heauie heart such is the face of my text where in the forehead this Alas is fixed as the signe of sorrow So would the Creator that his creature should make his progresse like the noble Patriarchs I am no better then my fathers 1. Reg. 19.4 saith good yet sorrowfull Eliah Oh that we were so good but looke vpon their sorrowes Gen. 4. and you shall see Adams heart melting for the parricides curse and mourning for Abel whose name signifies mourning me thinkes I see Noah grieuing to pronounce a curse vpon his owne sonne and to see Chams Chanaan accursed from the father to the sonne in their posterities Gen. 9.25 Looke vpon Abraham and Isaac Gods friends wandring vp and downe like pilgrimes and setled no where saue in God onely and Iacob that is fons omnium disciplinarum as Saint Ambrose calles him what sorrowes did he suffer which made him confesse his daies few and euill Looke vppon the Israelites pursued with Pharaohs host Genes 47.9 Exod. 14.28 to passe the sea of blood by the desart and fierie Serpents to winne the promised land Goe a little further and see the Prophets and Christ and his Apostles and see how Saint Ierome speaks of them together An putatis fratres quod Prophetae iocando praedicent ridendo loquantur apostoli aut Christus infantiliter comminetur sed ioci non sunt vbi tormenta intercedunt Esaias serra secatur Daniel leonibus deuorandus exponitur Petrus in cruce Dei exemplo suspenditur Si iocando sunt passi credo iocando suut loquuti But wee may feare the worlds faith to be rather a sporting faith then theirs was they went the way to the Kingdome as beautifull Naomi did by Marah that is bitternesse The beginning of the Prince of saluation was with a Vae Alas heauie and sad entrance borne poore and yet persecuted driuen to flie and into Aegypt yet saith Chrysostome persecutor primogeniti fit custos vnigeniti let his life goe for it went for vs what did he Tertullian telles vs the order that Christus fauos post fella gustauit after the gall of the Crosse hee was to tast honny combes of glory and was not saluted of the heauenly company ante quam rex Iudeorum proscriptus in cruce and there beginnes his Trophee Zach. 13. Psal 24.7.9 What meanes these wounds in thy hands saith the Prophet And the answere is sic percussus sum ab amicis and Dauid like an Herald went before proclayming Lift vp your heads ye gates and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores and let the King of Glorie come in The Cherubims Seraphims the heauenly hoast howsoeuer else called to see and heare such a call were amazed and aske Quis est iste rex gloriae Who is this king of glorie at last they knew him it is the Lord of Hoasts c. He that first passed from Edom with his garments so red as in blood that went by Acheldama Esay 63.1 Mat. 26. and by the crosse so saith Saint Bernard Et tu perge non est n●iter ad cellaria regis nisi per torcular crucis therfore if you wil Christum se qui consequi follow Christ and come to Christ shrug not nor shrinke not nor shift not the Crosse nor thinke to make it last this Alas wil stand no where so well as in the beginning assure your selues this Alas will salute you first and that for three reasons First to weane vs from the world as Nurses doe their children annointing their breasts with some bitter thing so dooth almightie God to make vs loath and forbeare the worlds sweetnesse seasons thy life with sorrowes more bitter then gall and yet all must be borne so the end may be sweete is not short paine well borne that brings long ease peace is most welcome after wa●re and hauen after stormy seas aftera sad life glad death and after combat conquest aut citò mors venit aut victoria laeta said the Poet. Secondly that euery mans mind might by dayly exercises in bearing aduersities be made more manly Saint Ambrose saith Animus stabiliendus est constantia vt nullis frangatur molestiis c. a good man will not bee daunted with any stormes although like Samson he encounter Giants or like Dauid wrestles and fights with Lions and Beares because he knowes how God first makes fit and after brings him to the fight Thirdly that we might consider Gods iudgements and their causes what they are and on whom they fasten learning thereby to waite for the Lord in vijs iudiciorum as Esay saith who will then turne your Vae into an Aue Es 26.8 your meate of sorrowes as Job calls it Iob 6.7 into the feast of comforts your lamentings into reioicings Apoc. 21.4 washing the face of sorrowes and wyping away all teares from your eyes Therefore the Prophet here to inferre the greatnesse of the griefe in the very entrance placed the name and note of sorrowe shewing hearty and in-bred sorrow not in labris but in fibris a Vae that is Alas not sounded but with a deepe and a heauie grone a strong and sharpe exclamation confirmed with a reason that you should not thinke he did as wantons doe crie and haue no cause but hee cries out and brings good reason for it Alas For this day is great c.
