worde thus Loue the brother hood referring the word which the Apostle vseth not vnto the minde affection of him that loueth or the vertue of louing as it seemeth our English translation here doth but to the brethren themselues which must bee loued For as before he had shewed vs the matter or as we call it the subiect of our honour saying Honour all men and afterwards will shew vs the subiect of our feare saying Feare God and lastly the subiect of a particular and more especiall honour saying Honour the King so here he sheweth vs the subiect or matter of our loue or if ye will the persons on whom our loue must work to wit the brethren euen the whole society of theÌ„ So as a litle to inuert our own translation and yet to keep as neere as we may in steed of this Loue brotherly felowship we may read thus Loue the felowship of brethren So we name the whole state of the Commons of the realme the CoÌ„munaltie and so here the whole state of the brethren ioyned in one felowship the brotherhood or felowship of brethren Now in this sentence we haue to obserue generally these two partes The brethren which must receiue our loue and The loue it selfe which we owe vnto them And touching the brethren first we see them coÌ„mended to vs by the name of brotherhood which is a societie or felowship of brethren and indeed such according to the force of the worde which Peter vseth I say such brethren as lay in the same belly with vs. Euen as in deed we haue all but one mother Hierusalem as sayth the apostle in the 4. to the Gal. which is aboue and yet beneath the Church scattered throughout the worlde Gal. 4 26 which is saith hee the mother of vs all In her wombe we are begotten being borne anew as Peter before saieth not of mortall seede 1. Pet. 1 23 but of immortall by the worde of God VVho of his owne will as Iames also sayeth begatte vs by the worde of truth Iam. 1 18 that wee should be the first fruites of his creatures And to our mother was the promise made in the foure and fiftieth of Esay Isay 54 13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lorde and much peace shall bee to thy children Thus all that are taught of God and haue obeyed his worde are brethren both by father and mother and the whole number ioyned in one societie or felowship is the brotherhood which also is called the housholde or familie of fayth VVhile we haue time sayth the Apostle in the sixt to the Galathians let vs do good vnto all Gal. 6.10 specially vnto those that are of the familie of faith And againe in the thirde to the Ephesians Ephes 3 14 For this cause I bow my knees vnto the father of our Lorde Iesus Christ of whom is named the whole familie in heauen and in earth And the bande of this familie or coniunction of brethren is faith and holinesse in that heauenlie vocation vnto which they are called In which respect they are named as before we heard the familie of faith and faithfull brethren in Christ and holie brethren In the first to the Colossians Paule an Apostle of Iesus Christ by the will of God and Timotheus our brother Col. 1 1 2 To them which are at Colosse Saintes and faithfull brethren in Christ. Heb. 3.1 And in the third to the Hebrewes Therfore holy brethren partakers of the heauenlie vocation consider the Apostle and high Priest of our profession Christ Iesus VVherfore let not thine eies wander to seeke thy loue but see who are ioyned in fayth holinesse and they are the brethreÌ„ and there thou must fasten thy whole desire It is not in all the worlde besides that thou must so delight in as in them For tell mee if anie thing bee so commaunded or commended to vs as the brethren or some dutie which pertaineth to them Heere onelie wee except the loue of the Father which yet is reuealed and as it were accomplished in the loue of the brethren If yee loue mee sayth Christ keepe my commaundement Iohn 14 15 And This is my commaundement Iohn 15 12 that yee loue one another as I haue loued you And againe By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples Iohn 13 35 if yee haue loue one to another As if the loue of the brethren were the loue of Christ because he delighteth in them yea dwelleth in them and they in him hee is one with them and they with him by a true and reall coniunction though the same not naturall and carnall but spirituall as in the seuenteenth of Iohn I pray not for these alone but for them also which shall beleeue in mee through their woorde Iohn 17 26 21 c. That they all may bee one as thou O Father in mee and I in thee euen that they may bee also one in vs that the worlde maie beleeue that thou hast sent mee And the glorie that thou gauest mee I haue giuen them that they maie bee one as wee are one I in them and thou in mee that they may bee made perfect in one and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent mee and hast loued them as thou hast loued mee And so the Church considered with her head is mysticall Christ or Christ in a mysterie and so called by the Apostle in the twelfth of the first to the Corinthians 1. Cor. 12.12 For as the bodie saith he is one hath many members and all the members of the body which is one though they bee many yet are but one body so is Christ that is to say Christians in one society euen the Church considered as a bodie but with her head Christ Who by an excellency of the head aboue the members giueth name vnto the whole and it is called Christ Hence commeth this acceptation in the second of Zacharie Hee which toucheth you Zach. 2 8 toucheth the apple of his eye And in the tenth of Matthew Math. 10 42 VVhosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these little ones a cup of colde water onely in the name of a Disciple verelie I say vnto you hee shall not loose his rewarde And in the siue and twentieth of Mathew Mat. 25 37 c. VVhen sawe wee thee an hungred and fedde thee And when sawe we thee a straunger and tooke thee in and so forth Verely I say vnto you sayth Christ inasmuch as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my Brethren yee haue done it vnto mee And againe VVhen sawe wee thee an hungred or a thyrst or a straunger or naked or sicke or in prison and did not minister vnto thee These also are aunswered Verelie I say vnto you in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these yee did it not to me And in the ninth of the Acts

of sâ—attery that I am ashamed to name it and yet many make a pride and a vertue of it as if vertue were made of words as the wood of trees therfore thus forsooth father brother vncle cosen captaine master when indeed there is no such maner link or baÌ„d between theÌ„ And when they light on any of these or any other their louers friends vpoÌ„ whom they will bestow any of this court-holy-water theÌ„ cap knee smooth fine words low curtify and broad imbracing as if we would reach them a peece of our heart But if any of these need our help that is honor in deed then S. Iames his charitie Abite cumpace calesâ—ite saturaâ—ini Goin peace bee yee warmed and filled but we giue them not the things that are fit for the bodie I am 2 6 VVhat profite is in this saith the Apostle And yet wee are so vsed to this vnprofitable yea reprochfull honour that wee cannot leaue it but euen when wee haue in hande some mischiefe towarde men they shall yet haue some of this honour therwhile to hide it like that was bestowed on our Sauiour Haile King of the Iewes and smite him on the face Or as Iudas Haile Maister kisse him and betray him And yet my brethren neither this nor any thing which before hath beene taught vs is brought to abridge all outwarde honour or shew of outward reuerence Which wee acknowledge also to bee due Suo modo in a certaine manner euen from all men to all men and from each man to each and euerie man as is the other honour in fact before meÌ„tioned Which as it is indeed harder and asketh cost and therfore also is more high and excellent so this likewise is of that praise price that it ought not to be neglected but embraced of vs. For God hath so imprinted his owne Image in vs that each man moued with a proper and serious sense of his sinnes acknowledgeth his owne basenesse and giueth reuerence vnto him which scarcely will acknowledge it to bee due vnto him because hee feeleth his sinnes as the other doth And here is a right good straining of curtesie when as Peter willeth vs in the fifth Chapter of this Epistle we submit our selues euerie man one to another 1. Pet â— 5 According also to that golden rule of the Apostle in the second to the Philippians Let euerie man thinke better of another then of himselfe And in the 12. Philip. 2 3 to the Romans In giuing honour Rom. 12 10 go one before another This would take vs downe from the vpper ende of the table and make vs of our selues seeke the Luke 14 7 8 c. lower roomes first and then the maister of the house woulde set vs vp highen For this modestie is amiable and this humilitie honourable And therefore no maruaile if the good man of the house be so delighted with it that he vouch safeth it the highest roome at the ende of the Table This is meant by our Apostle in the 5. chapter and 5 vers of this Epistle saying Decke your selues inwardly with low lines of mind 1. Pet. 5 5 Marke there is a maruellous decking beautie ornament in modestie But he saith It is inward in the hid man of the heart and yet so that it sheweth it selfe outwarde or else it were nothing worth as Salomon sayeth in the 27. of the Prouerbes Better is open rebuke then secrete loue Yea it so sheweth it selfe in the bodie prou 2â— 5 that it decketh adorneth and beautifieth the bodie so as all men shall honour vs when the bragger shall go by with contempt and scorne For so it is added by the Apostle as a reason to perswade vs to embrace this dutie For God sayeth hee resisteth the proude VVhat is that To wit this Proude persons looke for more then is due vnto them but they shall not haue it They would be honoured of all Tanquâ—â— minores Dii as little Gods but they shall bee broken of their willes For as they haue measured vnto others so shall it be measured to them againe They haue shewed in the pride of their mindes contempt and disdain to others and they shal reape it seuen fold again into their bosoms For thus I take Saint Peter to expounde that place of the Prouerbes the third Chapter the soure and thirtieth verse prou 3 34 VVith the scorner he scorneth Then it followeth in the verie words that Peter alleageth But hee giueth grace that is to say fauour loue honour and acceptation both with God and men vnto the lowlie As it is saide of our Sauiour Christ that hee grewe in wisedome Luke 2 52 and stature and in fauour both with God and men And why Because as well in this lowlinesse and humilitie no doubt as in all other vertues it was necessarie that hee shoulde bee our most perfect patterne and leaue vs an example that wee shoulde followe his steppes and acknowledge no lesse by his personall humilitie then by his doctrine taught vs in the fourteenth of Luke that hee that exalteth him selfe shall bee brought lowe Luke 14 and hee that humbleth himselfe shall bee exalted Fie vpon therefore this outwarde flaunt of apparell this bragging behauiour and coy countenaunces of manie in this age of most corrupt manners which would seeme to snatch honour to themselues and euen force it from vs. But they must remember as Aristotle sayth Honorest in honorante non in honorate Honour is in him that honoureth not in him that is honoured And therefore thou maist happily be despised of others euen when thou deseruest to bee honoured much more shalt thou be sure to go without this honour when by this ambitious humour of crauing honour thou deseruest no honour but contempt But heere wee are to obserue a distinction For as before in the honour of fact hee owed most that had receiued most to doo good vnto others according to his quantity so in this outward honour or honour of outwarde reuerence it falleth our contrarie that hee oweth most vnto others that hath receiued lesse then others For so it is in the ciuil bodies and bodies politike at in the natural bodie wherein one member hath receiued more or lesse honour then another and all lesse then the head as Paul also sheweth vs in the 12. of the first too the Corinthians that in a certaine varietie as well in this as in sundry other things there might be a maruailous consent and harmony For God is not the author of confusion but of peace 1. Cor. 14.33 And as one starre differeth from another starre in glorie for the beauty of the heauens so one man differeth from another in glory to the beauty of the earth And therfore there is now in some the honour of age which is not in others in some the honor of wisedom vertue not in others in some the honor of
