trulye he both loueth and regardeth all them whych are not of these most specyall benefygtes oblyuyous se and vnthankefull I● haue sayd Thus endeth the oracyō or processe rehearced off Philipp Melanchton at the buryall of the Reuerende man Doctor Martyne Luther Translated by Iohan Bale Anno M.D.LXVI The Christen sermon made at the buryall of the honorable Doctour Martyne Luther by Doctour Iohan Pomerane the chefe Pastoure of the churche of Wittemberge Anno Dn̄i M. D. XLVI Translated by Iohan Bale IN hys first Epistle to the Thessalonyanes the fort chaptre hath S. Paule the Apostle these wordes We wolde not bretherne that ye shulde be ignoraunt concernynge them whych are fallen a slepe neyther yet that ye shulde sorowe as they do whych haue no hope For if we beleue that Iesus dyed and rose agayne euen so them also whych are a slepe through Iesus shall God brynge with hym Dere fryndes in the lorde I am now cōstrayned of dewtye and loue to preache vnto yow at thys solēpne buryall of our dere father Doctour Martyne Luther the true Apostle of God But how to be haue my selfe therin to your consolacyon for verye heauynesse and doloure I knowe not And to speake it trulye who shuld in thys publique sorowe solace yow if I your pastoure preacher shuld not do it Yet am I in thys sermon more lyke to increase your teares than demynysh them God hath now taken from vs to our great hynderaunce that notable seruaunt of hys and man honourable Doctour Martyne Luther by whom he liberallye dyspersed innumerable gyftes of hys grace not onlye to vs here in Wittemberge and dyuerse other Christen churches of Germanye but to other foren nacyons abroade For by hym both they and we the prayse be geuen to god do at thys daye notablye tryumphe agaynst the blasphemouse kyngedome of Sathan the horryble ydolatryes and vayne tradycyons of men or as S. Paule doth call them the crastye inuencyons of the deuyll By hym hath God the father in these lattre dayes clerelye manyfested in the Gospell that ample ineffable and heauenlye mysterye euen hys sonne Iesus Christ as S. Paule to the Ephesyanes and Collossyanes calleth hym By thys chosen mynystre of hys haue the sayd sonne of God Ihesus Christ defended that Gospell agaynst the most wycked pope agaynst all sectes and tyrauntes and agaynst all the gates of helle Yea vnto thys so myghtye a seruaunt of hys gaue he a sprete so effectuall and stronge that he neuer yet staggered for no worldlye power nor threttenynge So ernest was he in supportynge the pure doctryne of the Gospell agaynst the corrupters therof that manye haue iudged euyll of hys vehement sprete as ded the vyperouse Pharysces of Iohan Baptyst and Christ. No greatter dyspleasure can be done to the hypocrytes than their actes to be rebuked by the manyfest veryte And agaynst their nature is it alwayes to geue place therunto But now that the lorde hath thus taken from vs thys noble doctour and prophete of hys yea thys excellent massenger most gracyouslye sent of hym to refourme hys churche how can we from we pynges desyst Or how shall we obeye the former saynges of Saynt Paule that we ought not to be heauye ouer them that slepe in Christ. We must consydre therin what foloweth That we ought not desperatlye to mourne as doth the vnfaythfull without hope of resurreccyon For we that beleue in God do perfyghtlye knowe that they are reserued to a moch better lyfe shall at the generall metynge be raysed vp agayne with vs euermore from thens fourth we shall dwell togyther without separacyō But trulye the worlde was full vnworthye anye longar to retayne so worthye a seruaunt of God to rebuke dysdayne as it hath done Manye syngular benefyghtes hath it receyued by hys admynystracyon in the worde specyallye delyueraunce from the great throldome of conscyence and tyrannye of the papysme yet hath it bene vnthankefull hytherto Notwithstandynge a great nōbre of our aduersaryes whych hath yet had some wytte dyscressyon haue moch rather couered hys longe lyfe than deathe All thys haue I spoken in preface to shewe that we mourne not without iust cause so notable a gyde taken from vs. And I doubt it not but if mournynge myght helpe all those worthye prynces gouernours cyties and comynaltees whych knoweth the power of the Gospell wolde also lament thys dolorouse chaunce with vs. Therfor can I not thynke that we mourne now alone but manye thousandes more with vs all Christendome ouer Neyther shall the wycked pope with hys Cardynall of Magunce and hysduke of Brunswyke haue anye great cause to reioyce in the deathe of thys man whych haue so manye tymes with the manyfest veryte confounded them neyther yet anye other sturdye aduersaryes of God For though hys worthye persone hath departed hensin the lorde yet tarryeth hys syncere doctryne here styll and wyll herafter more effectuallye worke He was without fayle that Angell specyfyed Apoc. 14.

Herin taught he the true inuocacyon prayer to God our heauenlye father in sprete veryte without supersticyon After the manyfestacyon of thys Angels doctryne wyll there yet come an other that shall brynge consolacyon to the myserablye afflicted congregacyon of God and vnto the truthes aduersaryes the ponnyshmentes of fyre and brymstone in the perpetuall iudgement of dampnacyon The voyce of thys Angell wyll be thys She is fallen she is fallen euen Babylon that great cytie For makynge all nacyons dronken with the wyne of her whoredome Ye shall wele perceyue it that our enemyes shall not longe reioyce of our sorowes But as Christ hath spoken it Ioan 16. Our heauynesse wyll be turned to ioye By conferrynge the Apocalyps with our tyme we perceyue sumwhat past and as sure we are that more is yet commynge What nede I then anye farther to wade in thys sorowfull oracyon concernynge the absence of thys our pastoure and Byshopp Yes therin to acknowledge the great mercye goodnesse of God to wardes vs so to rendre vnto hym most ernest thankes That after an hondred yeares sens the deathe of that blessyd man Iohan Huss whych in the yeare of our lorde 1415. was murthered for the veryte he raysed vnto vs by hys
