Publicans and sinners to Such in his doctrine found comfort As still the penitent may do The Scribes and Pharisies disdain'd That Christ with sinners so remain'd Then Iesus said I came to saue That

sonne Moreouer marke ye this said he Two sonnes a certaine rich man had Who cared much that they might be A cause to make his last age glad The younger led by lust would go To trauell farre his father fro Wherefore he to his father sayd Giue me that is my portion My suite let it not be denayd But make a iust diuision His substance he diuided tho And gaue him his and let him go This younger sonne did gather all His father gaue and went away From place to place as did befall In countreys strange this sonne did stray Till riot wasted all his wealth As whordome had impaird his health When he had spent all wilfully There rose a dearth throughout the land And he there pincht with penurie Was forc'd to go then out of hand To serue nor durst the man repine To keepe and feede his masters swine Where oft for want of better food Huskes with the swine this youth did eate And then the same thought very good For no man gaue him better meate And sometimes in his misery He wanted huskes assuredly Then came he to himselfe and sayd How many hired seruants be That finde my fathers house an ayde And there haue meate inough said he While I do liue thus lothsomely And neare for hunger daily dye I will vnto my father go And say to him I sinned haue Against both heau'n and thee also Forgiue me father now I craue And me receiue yet I thee pray No sonne but seruant from this day So he vnto his father went Who did his sonne from farre espy And ran to him incontinent Much pitying his misery And then vpon his necke he fell And kist him that he lou'd so well The sonne then to his father there Sayd I haue sinned against thee And am not worthie to be here Or call'd thy sonne that I should be For heau'n and earth can witnesse this That I haue runne my race amisse The father said his seruants to Bring forth my best robe vnto me To put on him this ring also And shoes on his feete I will see The fat calfe kill and make vs meate That this my sonne and we may eare For this my sonne of late was dead And now he is aliue againe The lost I found so well I sped He shall henceforth with me remaine This they performed speedily And past the time most merily Abroad the elder brother was And comming home he heard a noyse Yet knew not who was in the place Nor why his father did reioyce He onely heard the mynstrelsie With dauncing and much melodie He call'd and bad a seruant come And tell him what all those things ment Thy brother is said he come home And was receiu'd incontinent Thy father spareth for no cost To welcome him that late was lost All angrie when he heard the same He would not in vnto them go Therefore to him his father came Requesting him not to do so Now he vnto his sonne doth stand That should command with cap in hand The sonne his father answered I haue vnto thee seruice donne Yet hast thou not considered How though I were thy eldest sonne And many yeares now night and day I still at thy command did stay Yet all this time I neuer had A kid of thee that I might spend When I was willing to be glad And welcome any honest friend Yet thou the fat calfe killed hast For him that worse thy goods did wast Sonne vnto him againe said he All that I haue is thine in deed Thou euer didst abide with me And shalt therefore the better speed Yet should we ioy and mery be The dead aliue and lost to see The parable of the vniust Steward And Christ to his Disciples then Said that a certaine rich man had A Steward charged by some men That he did vse his office bad For he said they doth day by day Consume and wast thy wealth away He called him and said withall How do I heare this ill of thee For thine accounts I needs must call Thou mayst no longer Steward be The Steward then began to muse How he might best the matter vse What shall I do my master will Mine office take from me away I cannot digge nor delue but ill And begge for shame I neuer may Wherefore I must deuise sayd he That I of some receiued be His masters debters he did call And askt the first what owest

The next in debted did remaine And hundreth measures he did say Of wheate to whom the Steward sayd Write fourescore downe be not affrayd The Stewards wisdome Christ did prayse Though he vniustly dealt in deed For when he knew none other wayes He this deuisd to helpe his need The worldlings in their kind said he Are wiser then the godly be Make you so friends Christ to them sayd With riches of iniquity That when ye want they may giue ayde And then receiue you readily The iust or vniust in the small Will proue the very same in all If then ye haue not faithfull bene In wicked riches who will trust That you whose triall men haue seene In treasures true may be found iust If false to other men ye were Who shall giue you that yours is there Two masters well no man can serue For truly he the

bow'd her long she could no way Lift vp her selfe then certainly Christ said be loosd of thy disease Laying on his hand she straight found ease The ruler of the Synagogue Was fill'd with indignation As if his conscience had a clogge Or of a proud presumption Six dayes ye may well healed be And rest the Sabboth day said he Then said the Lord thou hypocrite Do ye not on the Sabboth day Your oxe and asse without respite Loose from the stall and driue away And should not she whom Sathan bound The Sabboth day go safe and sound When Christ said this his enemy Was sore ashamed and the rest Reioycing did God glorifie Which by their words was well exprest For they gaue God the onely prayse That wrought such works in those their dayes The parable of the mustard seede and of the leauen What is the kingdome of God like Or whereto shall I it compare Christ saw that some did not mislike His deeds and doctrine which were rare It is like to a mustard seed That man doth sow to serue his need This seed of seeds though sure the least Yet sowne it waxeth to a tree Wherein the litle birds may neast As oftentimes we do them see Or leauen in three peckes of flowre Till all be leauend and made sowre This mustard seed that is so small And therefore subiect to disdaine And eke the leauen there withall Doth signifie Christs Gospell plaine Gods word though weake it seeme to be Works great effects in some we see The parable of the strait and broad way And as through eu'ry towne he went And taught going to Hierusalem That few be saued is it ment Said they thus answerd Christ to them The strait gate striue to enter to Though many faile that so would do The goodman of the house when he Is risen vp and shuts the gate Your might or merite litle be To cry Lord open is to late Depart saith he hence speedily You workers of iniquitie We eaten haue say you againe And dronke oh Lord so oft with thee And thou hast taught vs but in vaine Depart saith he away from me Your sinnes are onely cause of this That you shall loose eternally blisse There ye then weeping all shall be And gnashing of your teeth full sore When Abraham in heau'n ye see And ye shut out as is before The Patriarks and the Prophets rest In heau'n aboue for they are blest And many shall come from the East And from the North and South also And many likewise from the West The heau'nly kingdome come vnto And then the first the last shall be And so the last first you shall see Christ called Herod a soxe and cryed against Hierusalem The Pharisies to Christ did say King Herod doubtlesse will thee kill Depart therefore and get away Ere he do worke on thee his will Thus would they seeme his friends to be That sought his death aswell as he Go tell the foxe said Christ from me Behold I cast out deu'ls to day And eke to morow I make free And heale the sicke that do me pray The third day I do make an end I care not what the foxe intend To morow as to day I must And yet the third day walke also It cannot be you may giue trust To this that now declare I do Saue at Ierusalem alone Shall of the Prophets perish none Hierusalem that oft doest kill And stone those that are sent to thee Thy childrens good I wished still Yet canst not thou thy saftie see But from thee when I shall be rest Thy house then desolate is left Christ healed one of the dropsie on the Sabboth day Againe as Iesus would eate meate With one of the chiefe Pharisies They friendly seeme him to intreate To colour out some braue deuise Their snares and traps for him they lay And watch him on the Sabboth day Behold a certaine man was there Infected with a dropsie sore Some Lawyers there at that time were Which watched him so much the more Christ asked if it lawfull be The man on that day to make free They held their peace for to reproue His words and deeds they did intend The matter he no more did moue But healed him and made an end Who doth said Christ his oxe espy In pit this day and lets him lye Christ forbad men to presse for the highest roomes at feasts taught men lowlinesse and to vse liberalitie vnto the poore A parable Christ Iesus spake When he the guests had marked well How each the highest roome would take See that saith Christ you do not mell With chiefest roomes when you are bid Least thence your betters do you rid When thou art bidden to a feast Go and sit lowest in the place Then saith the master come my guest Sit higher vp this giueth grace For who so him exalteth hye Shall be brought low reprochfully When thou doest make a feast command To call the poore the maim'd the lame And blind to such stretch forth thy hand This will gaine thee deserued fame And thou thy recompence this trust Shalt haue in heau'n among the iust And one of them that then there sate Said he is blest that eateth bread In heau'n and happy are their state That their liues there might alwayes lead In heau'n as this man doth confesse Sure resteth all true happinesse Christ declared how a certaine man made a great supper and bade many of the excuses of certaine guestes and their vnworthinesse Christ Iesus said a certaine man Made a great supper or a feast Come ye as soone now as ye can His seruants said vnto each guest For all things are now readie made To welcome whom our maister bade But they began to make excuse The first said I haue bought a farme I must go see it as they vse Thou maist excuse me without harme The next of Oxen bought yokes fiue And must go proue how they do thriue The third had married then a wife Sure he might well excused be For he was bound to lead his life With her and liue no longer free You know what wilfull men deserue All their excuses may not serue The seruants told their maister these Whom thou hast bid come not at all Which did him verie much displease And said another sort goe call Go bid the poore the lame the blinde And such as in the streetes ye finde The seruants said Lord it is done Yet there are roomes vnfurnished In the high waies seeke some out soone That my house be replenished For those men that were bid before Shall neuer tast my supper more Then to the multitude that went With him Christ turned backe and sayd If any man with good intent Come after me now vnaffrayd He must hate father and each friend To beare my crosse vnto the end Who meanes to build a stately towre And doth not cast the cost before He may repent him in that
