Chapter ANd Moses went froÌ„ the feldes of Moab vpp in to mount Nebo which is the toppe of Pisga that is ouer agenst Iericho And the Lorde shewed him all the londe off Gilead euen vnto Dan and all nephtali and the londe of Ephraim and Manasse aÌ„d all the londe of Iuda euen vnto the vtmost see aÌ„d the south and the region of the playne of Iericho the citye of datetrees euen vnto Zoar And the Lorde sayed vnto him This is the lon de which I sware vnto Abraham Isaac and Iacob sayenge I will geue it vnto thy seed I haue shewed it the before thyne eyes but thou shalt not goo ouer thither So Moses the seruaunte of the Lorde dyed there in the londe of Moab at the commaundment of the Lorde And he buryed him in a valey in the londe of Moab besyde Beeth Peor but no man wyst of his sepulchre vnto this daye And Moses was an hundred and .xx. ye re olde when he dyed aÌ„d yet his eyes were not dym nor his chekes abated And the childern of Israel wepte for Moses in the feldes off Moab .xxx. dayes And the dayes off wepynge and mornynge for Moses were ended And Iosua the sonne of Nun was full of the spirite of wisdome for Moses had put his hande vppon him And all the childeâ—n of Israel herkened vnto him and dyd as the Lorde coÌ„maunded Moses But there arose not a prophett sense in Israel lyke vnto Moses whom the Lorde knewe face to face in all the miracles and wonders which the Lorde sent him to doo in the londe of Egipte vnto Pharao and all his seruauntes and vnto all his londe and in all the myghtye deades and greate tereble thinges which Moses dyd in the sight of all Israel ¶ The ende of the fifth boke of Moses Avims A kinde of geauntes and the worde signifieth crooked vnright or weked Belial weked or wekednesse he that hath cast the yoke of God of his necke aÌ„d will not obeye god Bruterar prophesiers or sothsayers Emims a kinde of geauÌ„tes so called be cause they were terreble and cruell for emin signifieth terreblenesse Enack a kinde of geauntes so called happlye because they ware cheynes aboute their neckes for enack signifieth soch a cheyne as men weer aboute their neckes Horims A kinde of geauntes aÌ„d signifieth noble because that of pride they called theÌ„ selues nobles or gentles Rocke God is called a rocke because both he aÌ„d his worde lasteth euer Whett theÌ„ on thy childern that is exercyse thy childern in theÌ„ aÌ„d putthem in vre Zamzumims a kinde of geauÌ„tes aÌ„d signifleth myscheuous or that be all waye imaginiÌ„ge
the cleare daye light And I beleue also that the prophetes whiche folowed Moses to confirme his prophesyes and to mayntayne his doctrine vnto Christes cominge were moued by soch thinges to serche further of Christes secrettes And though God wold not haue the secrettes of Christ generallye knowne saue vnto a few familier frendes which in that infancye he made of mans witte to helpe the other babes yet as they had a generall promysse that one of the seed of AbrahaÌ„ shuld come and blesse them euen so they had a generall fayth that God wold by the same man saue them though they wist not by what meanes as the very apostles when it was oft told them yet they coude neuer comprehend it till it was fufilled in deade And beyonde all this their sacrifices aÌ„d ceremonies as farforth as the promyses annexed vnto them extende so farforth they saued theÌ„ and iustified them and stode them in the same steade as oure sacramentes doo vs not by the power of the sacrifice or deade it selfe but by the vertue of the faith in the promysse whiche the sacrifice or ceremonye preached and wherof it was a token or sygne For the ceremonies and sacrifices were lefte with them and commaunded them to kepe the promysse in remeÌ„braunce and to wake vpp their fayth As it is not ynough to sende manye on errandes and to tell them what they shall doo but they must haue a remembraunce with them and it be but a ringe of a rush aboute one of their fingers And as it is not ynough to make a bargayne with wordes onlye but we must put thereto an oth and geue ernest to confirme the faithe off the person with whom it is made And in like maner yf a man promysse what soeuer trifull it be it is not beleued excepte he hold vppe his finger also soch is the wekenesse of the world And therfore christ him silf vsed oftymes diuerse ceremonyes in curynge the sâ—ke to sturre vpp their faith with all As for an â—nsample it was not the bloud of the lambe that saued theÌ„ in Egipte when the angell smote the Egiptians but the mercye of God and his truth wherof that bloude was a token and remembraunce to sturre vppe their faythes wyth all For though God make a promysse yet it saueth none finallye but them that longe for it and praye God with a stronge fayth to fulfill it for his mercye and truthe onlye and knowlege theyr vnworthynesse And euen so oure sacramentes yf they be truelye ministred preach Christ vnto vs and leade oure faythes vnto Christ by which faithe oure synnes are done awaye and not by the deade or worke of the sacrament For as it was impossible that the bloude off calues shuld put awaye synne euen so is it impossible that the water of the ryuer shuld wash oure hartes Neuerthelesse the sacramentes cleÌ„se vs and absolue vs of oure synnes as the preastes doo in preachinge of repentaunce and faith for which cause ether other of them were ordened but yf they preach not whether it be the preast or the sacrament so profitte they not And yf a man allege Christ Iohan in the. iij â–ª chapter sayeng Excepte a man be borne agayne of water and the holye goste he can not se the kingdome of God and will therfore that the holy gost is present in the water and therfore the verye deade or worke doth put awaye synne then I will send him vnto Paule whiche axeth his Galathians whether they receaued the holy goste by the deade of the lawe or by preachinge of faith and there concludeth that the holy gost accoÌ„panyeth the preaching of faith aÌ„d with the worde of faith entreth the harte aÌ„d purgeth it which thou mayst also vnderstonde by saynt Paule sayenge ye are borne a new out of the water thorowe the worde So now if baptim preach me the wasshing in christes bloude so doth the holy gost accompaâ—y it and that deade of preachinge thorow fayth doth put awaye my synnes For the holy gost is no dome god nor no god that goeth a mummige Yf a man saye of the sacrament of Christes bodye aÌ„d bloud that it is a sacrifice as well for the dead as for the quycke and therfore the very deed it self iustifieth and putteth awaye synne I answere that a sacrifice is the sleynge off the body of a beest or a man wherfore yf it be a sacrifice then is christes body there slayne aÌ„d his bloude there shed but that is not so And therfore it is properly no sacrifice but a sacrament and a memoriall of that euerlastinge sacrifice once for all which he offered apon the crosse now apon a .xv. hundred yeres a go and preacheth only vnto them that are alyue And as for them that be dead it is as profitable vnto them as is a candell in a lantrene without light vnto them that walke by the waye in a darke night and as the gospell song in laten is vnto them that vnderstond none at all and as a sermon preached to him that is dead and hereth it not It preacheth vnto them that are a lyue only for they that be dead yf they dyed in the faith which that sacrament preacheth they be faffe and are past all iâ—opardye For when they were alyue their hartes loued the lawe off God and therfore synned not and were sory that their membres synned and euer moued to synne and therfore thorow faith it was forgeuen them And now their synnefull membres be dead so that they can now synne no more wherfore it is vnto them that be dead nether sacrament nor sacrifice But vnder the pretence of their soule health it is a servaunt vnto oure spiritualtyes holy coueâ—nousnesse and an extorcyonar and a bylder of Abayes Colleges Chauntryes and cathedrall chirches with false goteÌ„ good a pick purse a pollar aÌ„d a bottomlesse bagge Some man wold happely saye that the prayers of the masse helpe moch not the lyuinge only but also the dead Of the hote fire of their farvent prayer which consumeth faster then all the world is able to bringe sacrifice I haue sayde sufficiently in other places Howe be it it is not possible to bringe me in beleffe that the prayer which helpeth hâ—â— awne master vnto no vertue shuld purchesse me the forgeuesse of my synnes If I sawe that their prayers had obtayned theÌ„ grace to lyue soch a liffe as goddes worde did not rebuke then coud I sone be borne in hande that what soeuer they axed off God their prayers shuld not be in vayne But now what good can he wysh me in his prayers that envieth me Christ the fode and the liffe of my soule What good can he wish me whose herte cleaveth a sundre for payne when I am taught to repent of my euell Forthermore because that fewe knowe the vse of the olde testament and the moste parte thinke it nothinge necessarye but to make alle goryes which they fayne euery maÌ„ after hys awne brayne at all
