THE FIRST DISCOVRSE Of the education and instruction of children and of the obligation which all haue to learne the christian doctrine I INTENDE now to speake of two thinges First vnto all those who haue charge ouer children and especially to parents to commende vnto them the care which they ought to haue of their good education and instruction Secondly to declare vnto all the

that the more they drinke the more their disease increaseth and their desire of drinke These ought to consider that riches are the creatures of God ordained for vse and if they be not vsed they are abused and the order is peruerted which God ordained in the creation of them Some sinne by excesse in the contrary that they will not thinke nor prouide how to liue but spend as long as they haue any thing and then they passe on a slothfull and carelesse life choosing rather as the common saying is hungar with ease then plenty with paines taking These must consider that God hath prouided sufficiently for them and if they will needs contemne the prouidence of God and spend all then they must vse their limmes to liue by and that euery man must liue of his owne care and labour in his calling The rich haue a more carefull and lesse painefull life the poorer as they haue lesse care so they haue more paines to take And if they be able they must worke and not thinke any more idly and loosely to depende of others then others thinke to depend of them These sinne by too much neglect of riches as they are good the couetous sin by too much loue of that which is base in riches The remedy of couetousnes is to stirre vp in our selues an ardent loue of God that we loue him in our riches and them not for themselues but for his sake and to doe sometimes some deeds of charity for this end that we may keep our harts allways free from the loue of riches and open to the loue of God and of our neighbour O that rich men would remember those words which King Dauid sang ●s 61. If riches abound set not your hart vpon them They might desire riches haue riches and keepe them if they would but keep their harts of them and vse them as God hath ordained them to be vsed Dauid performed himselfe that which in this he commended to others who although he were guilty of some other sinnes yet he is not noted at any time to haue set his hart on riches when they abounded with him as a king in plenty of all things He was a very charitable man gaue much to the building of a temple to God by which it appeareth that he sett his hart on almesdeeds and doeing works of charity and not vpon riches and if all rich men would doe soe they might be happy and blessed in their riches You haue now the ten Commandements declared the Commandements not of any king or superiour vpon earth but of God the maker of heauen and earth and who gaue these Commandements after such a terrible manner to the Israelits that as you haue heard they were allmost killed with feare at the receiuing of them because they were a hard harted people and as stubborne and peruersed children were to be gouerned with the sight of the rodde But we that liue in the law of Christ which is the law of clemency and grace and in which we haue such an example of the loue of God in the mystery of the incarnation and passion of the sonne of God we ought to be drawne by loue to obey him who intreating and exhorting to keepe his Commandements demandeth If you loue mee keepe my Commandements Io. 14. And a litle after he that hath my Commandements and keepeth them he it is that loueth mee We professe ourselues to be christians that is as the disciples seruants souldiers and spouses of Iesus Christ to loue him and we follow obey sight for and adulterate with the deuill his professed enemy O Christian is this thy loue is this to be a Christian the beloued disciple of Iesus Christ saith He that saith he abideth in Christ ought as he walked himselfe also to walke Io. 1.2 You would thinke it a horrible thinge to see a christian to deny his christendome and to become a Turke or Pagan and yet in deedes we deny it when we breake the Commandements of God which then we promised faithfully to keepe Tit. 1. They Confesse that they know God but in their works they deny saith S. Paul This is to be a christian in name onely and not indeede as the traitour or rebell to the king hath the name of his subiect but is not subiect to him and thus S. Iohn Euangelist was inspired to declare Io. 1.1 He that saith he knoweth him and keepeth not his Commandements is a lyer and the truth is not in him If therefor you will be constant to the faith of Christ and beare truely the name of a christian be good christians keepe the Commandements of God let not the pleasure of any thinge draw you from him giue him the first place in your harts care not for the fauour of any soe as to loose the diuine fauour contemne riches forsake all vnlawfull desires beare afflictions losses iniurys imprisonment or any paine what soeuer rather then to committee any mortall sinne powre forth this life which here you enioy to please God the supreme goodnes better then life How many martyrs haue giuen their liues not onely in defence of faith but of the Commandements of God to fly sinne Dun 13. It is better for mee s●ith chast Susanna without the act to fall into your hands then to sinne in the sight of our Lord. Math. 1.2 Allthough all nations obey king Antiochus I and my sonnes and my brethren will obey the law of our fathers said the holy Priest Matathias when the kings officers vrged him against the lawes of God Death suffered for the loue of God maketh a martyr and soe S. Iohn Baptist was a martyr because he suffered for the good works which he did and soe S. Peter was a martyr in minde when for the loue of Christ he said with thee I am ready to goe both into prison and vnto death Luc. 22. And shall we for a moment of delight that endeth be it be begunne breake the Commandements of God loose his fauour and be banished from him for euer Let vs resist temptations couragiously and with zeale of Gods honour say from our harts all though all should obey the world the flesh or the deuill I will obey the law of God I will liue and dy in his seruice Lord my God for euer will I Confesse to thee Psal 29. THE SEAVENTH DISCOVRSE OF THE PATER NOSTER Quest Say the Pater Noster Answ Our Father which art in Heauen Hallowed be thy Name Thy Kingdome come Thy will be done in earth as it is in heauen Giue vs this day our daily bread And forgiue vs our trespasses as we forgiue them their trespasses against vs. And lead vs not into temptation But deliuer vs from euill Amen THIS is that blessed and most perfect prayer which Christ himselfe made and gaue to his disciples to teach them how to pray It is necessary then that the disciples of Christ vnderstand it and learn to

bread of God or if you thinke that he onely can prosper you and reward you euen with temporal blessings why doe you serue any other but him for them Serue God and be constant to his seruice according to the rules of the Catholike Church ●nd you can want nothing that is good for you Holy Toby was constant to the seruice of God and euen in time of great persecution he had enough both for himselfe and for others and although he lost much and gaue much away for Gods sake yet God allwais increased his store It ought to be a comfort to vs to heare king Dauid in his old age sing I haue bene yong Ps 36. for I am old and I haue not seene the iust forsaken nor his seede seeking bread This day We are taught here to aske but for one day and soe from day to day that we may haue confidence in God and not set our mindes too much vpon riches and of prouiding without end as some doe who neuer know when they haue enough Esa 5. Woe to you that ioyne house to house and lay field to field euen to the end of the place shall you alone dwell in the midst of the earth Their couetousnes is with out limit as though all had bene made for them and theirs Better were it for them to thinke how to liue in an orderly and discreete way and to bring vp their children in the feare and seruice of God with an indifferent competency Some authors vnderstande here by bread the blessed Sacrament of Eucharist which appeareth as bread and is indeede the bread of Angels in that it conteineth him who feedeth the Angels with the ioy of his presence Hence S. Ambrose taketh occasion to commende the often receiuing of the blessed Sacrament saying if it be our daily bread why shall we be a yeare before we receiue it THE FIFT PETITION AND forgiue vs our trespasses as we forgiue them their trespasses against vs. Amongst the infinite testimonys of the loue of God towards vs There is none greater then the passion of Christ by which the maine fountaine of his mercy was opened to cleanse us from sinne that we might hope and aske confidently that our trespasses might be forgiuen And as the Councell of Trent hath declared there is none in this world soe free from sinne Ia. 3. but that he may say this petition Saint Iames speaketh in general in many things we offende all Eccl. 7. And the wise man was inspired to say There is not a iust man in the earth that doth good and sinneth not We all then haue reason to pray for this and as there is not any euill in the world so great as sinne so there is nothing which we haue more reason to pray for then the forgiuenesse of sinnes Esa 7. The iniquity of the house of Iacob shall be forgiuen and this is all the fruit that his sinne be taken away It is indeede all the fruit that a sinner can desire to haue his sins taken away and it is fruit enough for so he hath the cheife thing which he can wish for in this world to wit grace by which he hath right vnto heauen Yet as great as this fruit is of the forgiuenes of our sinnes we are not taught so much as to aske it but with this condition that we will forgiue to our neighbour his trespasses against vs. Christ was a most perfect master of all vertues and nothing was there necessary or good for vs to learne but he hath taught it most perfectly both by word and by worke yet of all the lessons which he hath giuen there is nothing so much inculcated by him as charity and meekenes to others First in his owne person he hath giuen vs such an example that we cannot comprehende the dignity of it The very Sonne of God to suffer words and blowes and in the end death it selfe by his wicked and cursed seruants that he might change their curse into blessings what shall we say or thinke of this He could with one twinkle of his eye haue destroyed his enemys and freed himselfe but he would let them goe on in persecuting of him vnto death and then pray for them He was scoffed at and held his peace he was accused and answered not for himselfe he was strucken and bore it patiently hee was crucifyed and prayed for those that crucifyed him his whole life and death was a continuall patterne of this vertue and for his words his paraboles and preachings they were allways commending it tending continually to the loue of God by the loue of our neighbour And S. Iohn his beloued disciple that slept in his bosome was so filled with the same spirit of his master that in his first Epistle declaring how great a connexion there is betwixt the loue of God and the loue of our neighbour he proceedeth to these earnest termes Io. 1.4 If any man shall say that I loue God and hateth his brother he is a lyer And it is recorded of this holy Apostle that at his death these were his last words litle children loue one another And when he had repeated this Sentence often ouer to his disciples they desiring him to speake something els to them he reprooued them for it telling them that it was a saying worthy of their master It is to be obserued here that where as other vertues are asked onely in generall hallowed be thy Name thy Kingdome come c. this is asked in particular that we be forgiuen as we forgiue Now what Christian is there that can professe himselfe a disciple of Christ and yet stande at defyance against his neighbour how can he say this soueraigne prayer euery day and let his hart fester so long against any man that the sunne set before he pacify himselfe If we read in the law of Moyses of some examples in which the Saints of God haue taken revenge of their enemys as when Elias commanded fire to come downe from Heauen to consume the two Captaines of King Ochosias and their souldiers it was by particular inspiration and in zeale of iustice that Kings might learne reuerence to the seruants of God Besides Christ was not then come who was to mollify the hardnesse of that law by more mildnesse in the law of grace and therefore he said you haue heard that it was said of old Mat. 5. Thou shalt loue thy neighbour and hate thy enemy But I say to you loue your enemys doe good to them that hate you For if you loue them that loue you what reward shall you haue doe not also the Publicans this and if you salute you brethren onely doe not also the heathens this be you perfect therefore as also your heauenly Father is perfect We haue the examples of Martyrs Confessors and of all sorts of Saints who in the law of Christ haue come to this perfection as to loue those that hated them S. Steuen being apprehēded
