A verie godlie and necessary Sermon preached before the yong Countesse of Comberland in the North the 24. of Nouember 1577. By Christopher Shutt 1. Pet. 4.7 The end of all things is at haÌ„d be ye therfore sober and watch vnto prayer Eccles 12.13 14. Let vs heare the ende of all feare God and keepe his Commandements for this is the whole duetie of man For God wyll bryng euery woorke vnto iudgement with euery secrete thing whether it be good or euill Imprinted at London by Christopher Barker Printer to the Queenes Maiestie To the ryght honourable and most vertuous Ladie the Ladie Margaret Countesse of Comberland C. S. wisheth all happinesse and encrease of grace from God the father through our Lord Iesus Christ AS I descended right honorable and my good Ladie into a secret consideration of the age of this present worlde and of the last ende thereof I perceyued that our sauiour Christ in going about by sundry signes and tokens to foreshew premonish his elect of the ruinous decaye and dreadfull downefall of this last generation compared the dayes therof to the dayes of Noe before the floode what time the wicked gaue ouer them selues to all vnrighteousnes heaping one sinne vpoÌ„ an other vntil the water came and swept them all away to the ende by due remembraunce of Gods fearefull plagues most iustly powred vpon that sinnefull and carelesse generation the godly myght in all reuerence and holy conuersation watch and wayte within the arke of Christes Churche for that long wished most welcome time of their traÌ„slation to eternal happines which thing whilest the faithful haue reason to remember it banisheth farre from them the vayne delights of earthly vanities and prepareth them most readilie to the obedience of the worde of God whereby they be forewarned with watchfull Noe of many future woes feareful daungers and also enkindeled in true godlines and holines of lyfe with feare trembling to worke their saluation For sith they knowe themselues on earth to be but straungers where al things must consume and haue a sodaine and a certaine end their chiefest purpose ought to be as sayeth the Apostle to be sober and to watche in all godly conuersation vnto prayer For sodainly no doubt the ende shall come as was the comming of the flood in Noe his time yea euen in an hower when man thinketh not and then blessed shall he be that is founde in Noe his arke watcheth with his garments cleane and his lampe of righteousnes burning for he shall enter with the bridegrome into rest and so be saued from destruction Neither doe I see what dayes may be so rightly compared with the dayes of Noe as these wherein we lyue vvherein so fewe be righteous so many sleeping in securitie of sinne Whereat I can not but tremble to behold in the spirit the great calamities endles woes which may fal vpoÌ„ this sinful generation the wickednes wherof is written with a pen of yron with the piont of a diamoÌ„d which these eyes of ours are verie likelie to behold except with good Iosias we be humbled in this acceptable time day of grace to seeke vnto the Lord in true repentance to auoyde his heauie wrath For no doubt since the first tyme that EnglaÌ„d euer had the knowledge of Gods Gospel I speake not of the times of ignoraunce the mystie cloudes whereof are past was there in it neuer more ripenes of all maner of sinne and carnall securitie then these present dayes in all estates expresse and therefore the more we stand in daunger of destruction God hath called vs earely and late by the preaching of his worde but we are nothing better what remayneth then but that we feele his scourges When Sodome and Gomorrha woulde not be moued by the preaching of iust Lot what remained but fire and brimstone from heauen to be their destruction When Pharao and the Egyptians refused the wordes of Moses the red sea was appointed to be their confusion When Israel and Iuda would not be counselled by the voyce of the prophets of God the Assyrians and the BabyloniaÌ„s were raised vp to plague them destroy theÌ„ When IerusaleÌ„ was nothing bettred by all the sermons miracles of our sauiour Christ and vvould in no vvise acknovvledge the time of her visitation the Romanes vvere appointed to bee her desolation And euen so in this sermon ensuing it may be gathered that vvhen the carelesse man refuseth to be vvarned by the vvord of god the Lord hath many plagues prepared for his destruction Can the Lords vvord theÌ„ be of some so stubbernely among vs conteÌ„ned and hypocritically of other some receaued the fruits of holy life in fevv brought forth and the land escape vnpunished It is to truely verified of vs vvhich in times past vvas vvitnessed of the dayes of Noe vvherin al flesh had corrupted it selfe filled the laÌ„d vvith iniquitie whilest only Noe and his familie being but a fewe in number vvere occupied in making of the Arke for their deliueraÌ„ce Wherof Madame vvheÌ„ I had preached before your honour more compendiously perhaps through shortnes of the time then eyther your Honour could haue desired or I my selfe haue vvished I was then of some so vehemently required to impart in vvriting to their further consolation vvhat then in pulpit I had spoken that notvvithstanding I iudged my labours to simple to passe abroad and my selfe farre vnmeete for such a purpose yet durst I not deny to coÌ„fort such as thirsted after spiritual knovvledge to warne such as would escape of the vengeance to come and so eftsoones resolued my self as nere as god vvould giue me leaue to explane and augment vvhat my purpose vvas then in the pulpit to vtter Neither had I far to seeke to vvhose patronage I might commend vvhat herein I vvent about vvheÌ„ as dayly your honours godlie zeale and vertuous life called me to offer it vnto your wisdome whose vvilling hart not onely I haue had experience of to accept my laboures in good part before this time but also see your vvhole endeuour alvvayes bent to further the proceedings of the Gospell and to reclame this ignorant country froÌ„ their vvonted erroures to the church arke of Christ A rare vertue in your sexe and such as may condeÌ„ne the slackenes of some other kinds vvho care full litle hovve it goeth vvith the Churche so they them selues may liue at vvill and ease But as your honour hath chosen the vvay of trueth to bee your treasure and delight and eke your perfect wisedome and nobilitie and also by your happy and welcome comming into these rude and desert partes haue ministred great solace to the godlie so do I wishe with all my heart and dayly pray that your honour may happily proceed as you haue vertuously begun to the great benefitte of Christes church to the comfort

of your quiet conscience in the last day Your honours most humble in Christ Christopher Shutt C B Â¶ A verie godlie and necessary Sermon preached before the young Countesse of Comberlande in the North the 24. of Nouember 1577. by M. Christopher Shutt Ebr. 11.7 By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene moued with reuerence prepared the arke to the sauing of his housholde through the which arke he condemned the world and was made heire of the righteousnes which is by faith THe holy ghost right honourable and welbeloued layeth forth to our consideration in this chapter a long rehearsal of the faithful men of God in the former ages of the worlde whose perfect faith and true religion is made manifest to all posterities in this place of scripture who after that by faith they were iustified before God like trees of righteousnes they brought forth the fruites of al obedience in godly coÌ„uersation Among whom the Apostle reckoneth vp the liuely faith and godly life of righteous Noe in the latter end of the first age Who beholding the great ripenes of sinne and corruption of all flesh with ouerflowing waters to be punished being warned of God with all reuerence and feare prepared the arke for the safetie of him selfe and his houshold and also to condemne the great securitie of that carelesse generation whereby hee obtained through the free mercy of God to be called the heire of the righteousnes which is according vnto faith The due remembrance whereof may enkindle in vs if we lothe not our saluation the vigilant care wherewith we ought to be pressed in this last age and winding vp of these our sorowful dayes wherein such ripenes of al iniquities so horrible contempt of Gods word and so manifest vngodlines foretel and prognosticate the small fall of this totering world to be very neere an end that when the same shal come we might be saued within the arke of Christes Church with faithfull Noe rather then by our carnall securitie to hazard losse of bodie and soule for euer The wordes of the Apostle as they lye in order containe especially two things to be obserued The one whereupon it came that Noe was moued to prepare the arke The other what effect that arke had when it was made The former is contayned in these words By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene moued with reuerence prepared the arke Wherein is perceiued first an admonition to be giuen him Secondly a readines in him to beleue the same and last of all the making of the arke to declare the obedience of his faith The other followeth in the text He prepared it to the sauing of his houshold through which arke he condemned the world and was made heire of the righteousnes which is by faith Wherein is noted what effect it had in Noe and his familie next of al what effect concerning the wicked lastly howe this obedience of Noe was accepted and rewarded of God. Albeit right honourable and beloued the electe of God in this life walke through the valleye of teares and shadows of death yet the Lord continueth their light strength and rocke of sure defence who in the time of trouble will hide them in his tabernacle that not one heare of their head shal perishe but when the floodes of aduersities approch he giueth them warning to escape and so deliuereth them out of temptation and reserueth the vniust vnto the day of iudgement to bee punished Which warning the Lorde gaue now to Noe with whom he had according to the riches of his grace entred into a couenant to the end he might prepare an arke for his deliueraunce against the comming of the flood wherewith the wicked shoulde bee drowned In like maner when the sinnes of the Sodomites cryed for vengeance from heauen the Lorde premonished righteous Lot being wearied with their vncleannes to separate him selfe and his from them least he shoulde haue perished in the flame of the citie which was readie with fire and brimstone to be destroyed When Corah Dathan and Abiron with their companie had repugned the ordinaunce of God and contrary to his commandement offred vp straunge incense and so prouoked the wrath of the Lorde against them the Lord commanded Moses Aaron to exempt them selues the rest of the congregation from their companie lest they should haue bin swalowed vp together with them quicke into hell Such faythfull warning the spirite of God giueth to the elected saintes in the reuelation that they should come out of Babylon and touche no vncleane thing least in being partakers of hir sinnes they should haue bin partakers of hir plagues wherein wee may learne the great care which the Lorde hath for the saluatioÌ„ of his people forewarning them alwayes of the dangers to come to the ende they might safely rest vnder his protection For surely he will do nothing but he first reuealeth his word vnto his Prophets that they may warne his chosen earely and late to saue them selues in time of trouble The Lord foretolde the people of Israel of Iuda by the mouth of his Prophetes their captiuitie in Assyria Babylon long time before they felt any sore that the godly might seeke deliueraunce Our Sauiour Christ premonished his elect of many daungers to come that those which were in Iurie might flee vnto the mountaines and seeke to saue themselues vnder the crosse The Apostles foreshewed the comming of false prophetes and of Antichrist the man of sinne and of his manifolde abominations wherewith he should poyson the world that the godly might bee the better furnished with the woorde of trueth to preserue them selues against his wily traines of mans decrees and vaine inuentions We haue bene admonished these nineteene yeeres and more and warned by the preaching of the Gospell to forsake papistrie and superstition to leaue our sinfull wayes and to folowe the righteousnesse of life that we might be saued from destruction We haue bin at our wits ende with signes and strange reports and fearfull sights from heauen calling vs to repeÌ„tance We haue felt of earthly coÌ„sumptions diuers kindes of death with losse of friends and other things to humble vs to flie from the wrath to come We haue bene astonied with the lamentable ruine of Monarchies kingdomes rounde about vs that we sleepe not in securitie And dayly we doe see such troubles euerye where as do forewarne our ouerthrowe if in time we doe not repent Wherfore as the Lord hath set watchmen ouer vs in bidding vs take heede to the sounde of the trumpet let vs beware with reuerence and feare for if wee walke after the stubbernes of our stonie heartes and saye with the wicked wee will not take heede then will hee bring vpon vs the fruites of our
