For thine arrowes sticke fast in me and thy hand presseth me sore 3. There is no soundnesse in my flesh because of thine anger neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sinne 14. Psal 22. I am powred out like water all my bones are out of ioynt My heart is like waxe it is melted in the middest of my bowells 4. 38.

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish and hurtfull lusts which drowne men in destruction and perdition 10. For the loue of money is the roote of all euill which while some coueted after they haue erred from the faith and pierced themselues thorough with many sorrowes 20. Thou foole this night thy soule shall be required of thee Luk. 12. then whose shall those things bee which thou hast prouided 21. So is he that layeth vp treasure for himselfe and is not rich towards God Pro. 18. 11. The rich mans wealth is his strong citie and as an high wall in his owne conceit 11. 4. Riches profit not in the day of wrath but righteousnesse deliuereth from death Zepha 1. 18. Neither their siluer nor their gold shall be able to deliuer them in the day of the Lords wrath Luke 12. 15. A mans life consisteth not in the abundance of things which hee possesseth 31.

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God Pro. 16. 32. Hee that is slow to anger is better then the mightie and hee that ruleth his spirit then he that taketh a citie 29. 14. Hee that is slow to wrath is of great vnderstanding but hee that is hastie of spirit exalteth folly 4. Wrath is cruell 27. and anger is outragious 9. Eccles 7. Bee not hastie in thy spirit to bee angry for anger resteth in the bosome of fooles 7. Iam. 5.

Who made himselfe of no reputation and tooke vpon him the forme of a seruant and was made in the likenesse of men 8. Hee humbled himselfe and became obedient vnto death euen the death of the crosse Phil. 2. 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and giuen him a name which is aboue euery name 10.

And that euery tongue should confesse that Iesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father Psal 138. 6. Though the Lord be high yet hee hath respect vnto the lowly but the proude he knoweth afarre off 9. 25. The meeke will he guide in iudgement and the meeke will hee teach his way 34. Pro. 3. Surely he scorneth the scorners but he giueth grace vnto the lowly 6. Psal 147. The Lord lifteth vp the meeke hee casteth the vngodly downe to the ground 10. Luke 18. Two men went vp into the Temple to pray the one a Pharisee and the other a Publican 11. The Pharise stood prayed thus with himselfe God I thank thee that I am not as other men are exortioners vniust adulterers and euen as this Publican Luke 18. 12. I fast twise in the weeke I giue tithes of all that I possesse 13. And the Publican standing a farre off would not lift vp so much as his eyes vnto heauen but smote vpon his brest saying God be mercifull to me a sinner 14. I tell you this man went downe to his house iustified rather then the other for euery one that exalteth himselfe shall be abased and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted The holy Eucharist 26. IEsus tooke bread Mat. 26. and blessed it and brake it and gaue it to the Disciples and said take eate this is my body 27. And he tooke the cup and gaue thankes and gaue it to them saying drinke ye all of it 28. For this is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sinnes 22. Iesus tooke bread Mark 14. and blessed and brake it gaue to them and said take eate this is my bodâ— 23. And hee tooke the cup and when hee had giuen thankes hee gaue it to them and they all dranke of it 24. And hee said vnto them this is my blood of the new Testament which is shed for many Luke 22. 19. Hee tooke bread and gaue thankes and brake it and gaue vnto them saying this is my body which is giuen for you this doe in remembrance
all the glorie of man as the flower of gras the grasse withereth and the flower thereof falleth away Psal 62. 9. Surely men of low degree are vanitie and men of high degree are a lie to be laid in the ballance they are altogether lighter then vanitie 39. 5. Verily euery man at his best state is altogether vanitie The end of the world 3. Math. 24. AS Iesus sate vpon the Mount of Oliues the disciples came vnto him priuately saying tell vs what shall bee the signe of thy comming and of the end of the world 4. And Iesus answered and said vnto them Take heede that no man deceiue you 5. For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceiue many 6. And yee shall heare of warres and rumors of warres See that yee bee not troubled for all these things must come to passe but the end is not yet Math 24. 7. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdome against kingdome and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diuers places 8. All these are but the beginning of sorrowes 9. Then shall they deliuer you vp to be afflicted and shall kill you and yee shall bee hated of all Nations for my names sake 10. And they shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another 11. And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceiue many 12. And because iniquitie shall abound the loue of many shall waxe cold 13. But hee that shall endure vnto the end shall be saued 14. And this Gospell of the Kingdome shall be preached in all the world for a witnesse vnto all Nations and then shall the end come 21. Then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time no not euer shall bee Mat. 24. 22. And except those dayes should bee shortned there should no flesh bee saued but for the elects sake those dayes shall bee shortned 24. There shall arise false christs and false prophets and shal shew great signes and wonders in so much that if it were possible they shall deceiue the very elect 2. Tim. 3. 1. This know also that in the last dayes perilous times shall come 2. For men shall bee louers of their owne selues couetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to Parents vnthankefull vnholy 3. Without naturall affection truce-breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good 4. Traytors heady high minded louers of pleasures more then louers of God 5. Hauing a forme of godlinesse but denying the power thereof from such turne away 6. For of this sort are they which creepe into houses and leade captiue silly women ladē with sins led away with diuers lusts 7. Euer learning and neuer able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2. Tim. 3. 8. Now as Iannes Iambres withstood Moses so do these also resist the truth men of corrupt mindes reprobate concerning faith 9. But they shall proceede no further for their folly shall bee manifested vnto all men as theirs also was Luke 21. 25. And there shall be signes in the Sunne and in the Moone and in the starres and vpon the earth distresse of nations with perplexitie the sea and the waters shall roare 26. Mens heart fayling them for feare and for looking after those things which are comming on the earth for the powers of heauen shal be shaken 27. And then shall they see the sonne of man comming in a cloude with power and great glory 28. And when these things shall begin to come to passe then looke vp and lift vp your heads for your redemption draweth nigh 13. Mar. 13. But of that day and houre knoweth no man not the Angels in heauen nor the son but the father Luke 21. 36. Watch yee therefore and pray alwayes that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to passe and to stand before the sonne of man 1. Thes 4. 15. For this we say vnto you by the word of the Lord that wee which are aliue and remaine vnto the comming of the Lord shall not preuent them which are asleepe 16. For the Lord himselfe shall descend from heauen with a shoute with the voice of the Archangel and with the trumpe of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first 17. Then we which are aliue and remaine shall bee caught vp together with them in the clouds to meete the Lord in the aire and so shall we euer be with the Lord. The Iudgement 27. Heb. 9.

He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reape corruption but hee that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting Iohn 5. 24. He that heareth my Word and beleeueth on him that sent me hath euerlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death vnto life 18. Psal 37. The Lord knoweth the daies of the vpright and their inheritance shall be for euer 20. But the wicked shall perish and the enemies of the Lord shall bee as the fat of lambes they shall consume into smoke shall they consume away 23. Rom. 6. The wages of sinne is death but the gift of GOD is eternall life thorough Iesus Christ our Lord. 22. The begger died Luke 16 and was carried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome the rich man also died and was buried 23. And in hell hee lift vp his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afarre off and Lazarus in his bosome 24. And he cryed and said father Abraham haue mercie on me and send Lazarus that hee may dip the tip of his finger in water and coole my tongue for I am tormented in this flame 25. But Abraham said sonne remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy good things and likewise Lazarus euill things but now he is comforted and thou art tormented 13.
