a torch of example to leade them And so we if we profit not to good order by the seemely order of the vnreasonable and insensible creatures that serue God in their kind shall haue witnesses inough against vs out of that simple hoast or muster The winds and Sea obeyed Christ for he rebuked the winds and said to the Sea be still and presently they obeyed the winds ceased and the Sea was calme Mar. 4.39 Now if angry persons heare this to whom it is said Be angry and sinne not Eph. 4.26 and yet will not be calmed by the word putting away wrath the winds and Sea shall condemne them The beast that will drinke no more then it needes may depose against those that sit at the wine and strong drinke all day long The Ant that prepareth her meate in Summer that is while it may be had condemneth those sluggards and idle destitute of vnderstanding who neither Summer nor Winter care for any thing Pro. 30 25.

V. 48 maketh this question What man is he that liueth and shal not see death As much as if hee had sayd No man living but shall So Saint Paul It is appointed as by a Statute of euerlasting Parliament and appointed to men that is to euery man to one as well as to another That they shall once dye Heb. 9.27 And dust shall returne to dust as it was Ecclesiastes 12.7 Behold we the famous men before vs that gouerned the people by counsell and in whose doctrine were wise sentences or consider wee those great ones that wee reade of who commaunded the sea and drie land making the beasts of the earth the fishes of the sea and the fowles of the ayre to serue for their delight are they not all turned to their dust and is not all their glory fledde as a shadow Hat not iust and mighty death couered their large bodies ouer with those two very short words Hic ●ac●t Here lyes to witte the body of such and such a Monarch Potentate and Emperour of the earth Was not the graue their house and did they not all make their bedde in the darke Iob. 17.13 Some of their iourneyes in this pilgrimage of life were shorter some longer but was not their graue the common Inne where they lodged at night and what difference in death betweene them ●ucar Dialog Among many dead Ghosts as it is in the fable one would needs know which was Philip King of Macedon Answer was made Hee that hath the balde heade is Philip All haue balde heads saith he he that hath the slatte nose is Philip sayth the other Al haue flat noses sayth hee He with the hollow eyes is hee sayth the other and that hath the bare ribbes and ratling bones but all are such and haue such sayth he Then sayde the other I perceyue then there is no difference in death betweene the begger and the King In a cast of Counters one hath the place of pounds another of shillings a third of pence and euery one as he that casts the account shall thinke good to lay them but put them all into a bagge and what difference is there So what difference betweene those that are worth thousands and those that are worth nothing being once put together in the common bagge of the earth Salomon in all his glory was not so glorious as the Lilly sayth the second Salomon Math. 6.29 And what is a Lilly or what eternity is there in that flower of grasse It is sayde that euery Lilly hath his worme in his roote and can wee thinke that the Lilly of flesh is without Surely the worme of death gnawes vpon vs so soone as we begin to liue in the womb be we borne poore or of Princes and when we come into the world innumerable petty deaths are sent vpon vs for transgression Wormes eate vs aliue and wee are but worm●s meate being in our house of corruption That which hath some shew to day is to morrow rolled vp and layde aside in the clodde of the earth Abraham was the friend of God in his generation Sampson was strong and Iob iust and none so wise as Salomon and yet death hath rolled vp all those Worthies and buried their bones in Golgotha Since the fall of Adam there is no entring into Paradise but by the burning Seraphims or blazing fittes of death Gen. 3.24 It was sayde to Adam and the same may bee sayde to all that come of Adam Thou art dust Gen. 3.19 That is thou art but matter for the earth and for death that reigneth ouer all flesh Finally as in the parable the Labourers came into the Vineyard Math. 20.1.3.5.6 so shall those Labourers go out some at one houre some at another some in their infancy or dazon of day Some in their third houre young some when they are men in their sixt and ninth houre and some when they be old men in their eleuenth and last houre But all must goe out of this
