thee in that lyfe whyche is immortall thorowe IESVS CHRIST our Lorde Amen Geue the glorie to God alone The first Sonday of Aduent Â¶ The Gospell of Mathew xxi AND when they drew nygh to Ierusalem were come to Bethphage vnto mount Oliuet then sent Iesus two of his disciples saying vnto them Go into the towne that lieth ouer against you anone you shall fynde an Asse bound and her colte with her louse them and bryng them vnto me And if any man saye ought vnto you saye ye the Lord hath nede of them and streight way he will let them go All this was doone that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet saying Tell ye the daughter of Sion Behold thy kyng commeth vnto thee meke sitting vpon an asse a colte the foale of an asse vsed to the yoke The Disciples went and did as Iesus coÌ„maunded them and brought the Asse and the colte and put on them theyr clothes and set him theron And many of the people spred theyr garments in the waye Other cut downe branches from the trees strawed them in the waye Moreouer the people that went before and they that came after cryed saying Hosanna to the Sonne of Dauid Blessed is he that commeth in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the hyghest And when he was come to Ierusalem all the Citie was moued saying Who is this And the people sayd This is Iesus the prophete of Nazareth a Citie of Galile And Iesus went into the temple of God cast out all them that solde and bought in the Temple and ouerthrue the tables of the money changers the seates of them that solde Doues and saide vnto them It is written My house shall be called the house of Prayer but ye haue made it a denne of theues THE EXPOSITION THE PEOPLE of Israel had many notable and excellent promyses as concerning Messias or Christ how he shoulde come into this lyfe and set vp an euerlastyng kingdom and deliuer his people from all euyl and geue helpe for euer As it appereth by the writynges of the Prophetes when they preache so magnificently of the kyngdom of Christ to come And these promises were amongest the people But they were greatly hindered by false prophets and teachers whiche dyd so expounde these Promises as though this kyng after the worldly maner shold come into his kyngdom with great magnificence pompe and should aduaunce the people to hygh dignitie and power that all of them might be made lordes and rulers of Prouinces And to this tyme they can not be persuaded to haue any other opinion of Messias kingdom thaÌ„ that as soone as he commeth they shal be as chiefe heades ouer all other that the Gentiles shal be their bondmen They vnderstand not that they haue nede of Christes coÌ„ming to this ende that they might be deliuered from synne and eternall death Wherfore that this lewde perswasion myghte not remaine with the people to their peryll GOD longe before raised vp Zacharie the prophete to shew vnto them that Christ shoulde not come after the facion of other kynges with kyngly apparel with loftynes and great pride of imperie and rule but as he saith like a begger as the hystorie of this gospell that we nowe entreate of declareth Lest this people shold haue any excuse to pretend that they would haue receaued this kyng if they had not ben ignorant of this matter and mysterie For that was opened vnto them many yeares before by the prophete And this act of Christ was not done in a priuie and solitarie place but he came in the lyght daye tyme vnto his people as a begger rydyng on an other mans asse which was nothyng prepared or redy to this purpose in so muche that his disciples were fayn to helpe their poore kyng by casting on their clothes that this pompe myght be somwhat likely Wherfore the Iewes can excuse themselues no ways For the prophecie is euideÌ„t that wheÌ„ Christ shall come into his kyngdome at Ierusalem he shall not come after the maner of other kyngs with a gret shewe of horses and armie but as the Gospell saieth meke and after the Prophet poore As though the prophete spake it to admonysh them on this wise Marke diligently the asse and knowe that he is very Christe that sitteth thereon Wherfore be wyse and looke for no scepter diademe or kynges robes For Christ shall come poore meke and humble shewynge foorth hym selfe on an asse This shall be all his magnificence and glorie whiche he shall shewe before the worlde in the pompe of his commyng to Ierusalem And this is the cause why Christe vsed thys pompe before he suffred and the matter is done also with great circumspection as Christ declareth hereby sufficiently where as he committeth all thynges to be done with such diligence and where as he commeth not in the night or priuily but openly in the daye and entreth into Ierusalem not alone but with a greate multitude of people which goeth both before him and after him and aduanceth him with praises as the very sonne of Dauid And they wishe that this his kingdome might be prosperous And the matter is done so openly that it must nedes be knowen in all the citie of his commyng Let them behold the asse the poore kynge of the whiche Zacharie prophecied and gaue warning to the Iewes that they should not be offended with the poore shew humble and lowly coÌ„ming of Christ but should rather condemne their own imaginations where as they thought that Christ shoulde come gloriously in the sight

with his craftes deceytes For not as much as the spirituall wickednes in heauenly things can lie hyd from him As Paul doth boste of this also 2. Corinth 2. that he knoweth the mynde and the thought of the dyuell And here is nede of no other wayse then to compare this doctryne with this chyld whether they do agree The Papacie extolle them selues hyghely for their gorgiouse ceremonies rites But who may not perceaue that al is idolatrie in that they beleue to merite saluation therby that is men put their truste in them to be saued therby and that they be pleasant to God as his due seruice wher as yet it is plainly declared in this place as touching this chyld that he must be oure sauiour Wherfore the Pope and the Bishops may be worthely accused for their false doctrine and wicked seruice For al theirs agreeth nothing with this doctrine of the Angell He that hath this sauiour as a rule is neuer ouerseen is neuer deceaued whatsoeuer he take vpon hym to Iudge Wherfore this thing is most worthie to be prayed for that the light of this childe may neuer go out of oure syght which openeth vnto vs all the wycked prankes of the dyuell and of the worlde that we may be sure agaynst all things and soone confounde with oure iudgementes whatsoeuer is set vp against this childe for the doctrine of oure saluation This matter hath not nede of farre compassinge and many words the meaning is playne It is not so in the sermon of the Angell Wherfore do not thou contrarie this counceller sent from GOD which teacheth me on this sorte that to me a sauiour is borne whose name is CHRIST and not Peter Paule or the rule of Augustin or of Frances not masses pylgrimages to saintes or pardons The proper office of this sauiour is to minister vnto me al things necessary for oure saluation Go not about to take this doctrine from me I wil not suffer my eyes to be bleared with any other This sermon of the Angell is passing all comparison at the whiche a great multitude of Angels mustereth together and setteth vppe quiers of Musike And the syngular order and processe of their verse is as much to be marueyled at as the sermon it selfe For they singe such a Genethliacon and byrth verse as was neuer heard of before in the worlde And the words therof are these Glorie be to God on hyghe and in earthe peace good will towards men THIS hymne consysteth of three partes The fyrst parte is not only so to be taken as thoughe the Churches office were thereby appoynted what is expedieÌ„t for it to do But it is also as a Prophecye what effect should herof ensue and that GODS great glory should ryse herof And the meaning of that Angels sermon is no other but that it was farre other wyse before this childe was borne and that ther was blasphemy and Idolatry at that tyme in the worlde For whatsoeuer is without Christ be it neuer so glorious and glystrynge yet can it bee counted no other thing then blaspheming of God Ther can be no wais to worshyp and glorifie God but by this chyld For in Christ only may the tru bounteousnes mercy and humanitie of God be knowen where as he spared not his onely begotten sonne but sent hym into the fleshe for our sake The greatnes of this benefite causeth the herts to coÌ„ceaue true loue trust hope toward God to geue him largely thanks This fruit song that Angels to be to come And that now it taketh his beginning wheras god is truly glorified on high not by our workes which caÌ„not reach so high into heaueÌ„ but by herts which froÌ„ the earth are raised surmouÌ„t vpward to the mercyfull God and father with thankes geuyng and great confidence Wherfore loke wher this child is not truely knowen there can not God be truely glorified As the example of the worlde and specially of the people declareth that to be true when all things were ful of idolatrie when they folowed diuers sectes and ordeined so many kynde of worshippinges as there bee groues or hylles in the worlde as testifie the Prophetes of this thyng Yea and this was aboue all other a most damnable idolatrie where as their good entent was to God and to hym they did sacrifice fast vexe their bodies spared not lyfe it selfe yet all was diuellyshe and of their owne imaginations In these thyngs was gods glory bestowed This is the shame blasphemy wher with God is dishonored throughout all the erth wher as Christ is not knoweÌ„ Of this therfore doth the angels reioyce in the behalfe of all thyngs that this blasphemie is now at an end There is moreouer an other dishonoryng of God which is lesse fine and more sensible then the former when men worship Mammon and suche lyke All thynges of the worlde are full of this idolatrie All men both great and small worshyp this grosse imagerie and in it put al their trust in time of nede Wherfore on all parts God is dishonored and blasphemed both of them that make an Idoll of their owne rightuousnes also of such as worshyp Mammon But now the Angels syng that it shal be other wyse at the appearyng of this light Men shall put no longer trust in their owne rightuousnes they shal not care for their parentes nor for those thyngs that other striue for They shall onely imbrace this sauiour and trust in hym And this shal be the beginnynge of gods true glorie so shall he be truly knowen glorified and worshypped Such glorie lost Adam in Paradise For so are all mens wittes corrupted by nature that they had rather haue the glorie them selues take for an example the Pope and byshops They are very riche yet can they not be brought in mind to promote the word of GOD. And howe can they but greatly esteme it seyng the basest persones that be loue to be glorified Seynge therefore that it is so in the lowest persones that none would be without glorie how muche more must it so come to passe with them that hath such high matters in hande suche holynesse rightuousnes good workes ciuile honestie and behauioure These wyll not well be contente that GOD shoulde haue his honour They will not suffer their owne honoure to be dimynished therby Suche ambition besieged men when the fyrste of mankynde in Paradise were brought of the diuell to that point that they would be like vnto God and we can neuer liue without it Wherfore al men for that gyfts of God as science riches imperie and diuers vertues c. seketh theÌ„ selues glorie yea in very trifles this vice cannot be escaped But the angels mean that through the light of this chylde it shal come otherwise to passe and that nowe Gods glorie shall be surrendred vnto him again and therfore they reioyce and syng both for Gods and mans behalf for the true difference of
