at the death of the redéemer of the world yet he fainted nor feared not in his truth to shew what he was nor yet did his truth loose any parte of the valor for all the terrible trouble and pagan passions and persecutions that happened vnto him So true so good so iust a iustifier so immutable so almightie was he as was none yet his own denied him were in such feare and doubtes of his doings as though they had neuer knowne him So that the truth of God dependeth nothing vppō men although they be euen his verie disciples ministers but on him selfe onely Although they fainted feared and doubted of him bicause of his passions persecutiōs which he suffered yet for all that did not he forget put out of knowledge abhorre nor deny thē but did most louingly reduce thē and bring them again vnto the truth true knowledge therof And there where now he is sitting on the right hande of his father he hath not altered his cōdition nor yet hydden hys accustomed loue from them that be his Although they were weake strayed out of the way stombled fell with the weight of the crosse of cruell persecution yet did he make them partakers of his mercie with a free forgiuenes or pardon generall and did giue them strength and force a freshe to ouercome all their weakenesse And therefore he being such a one as he is that did loue the weakelinges so that hée would nor did not cast them away for all their weakenesse rebellion Wée also being lyke vnto them oughte to loue him not to forget nor forsake him but to hope and trust that he wil doe with vs as hée dyd with his fyrst disciples which had the first fruites of the spirite Let vs not be of the number of the enimies of God nor of those which haue any enmitie vnto hym or hys which doe take and vse all hys workes so that it is an occasion why they are set farther distant from him doe refuse to loue him as he ought and in the company of his aduersaries doo blaspheme his holy name But rather as obedient and faithfull children let vs vnderstand the intent of our celestiall father and take and gather out of his workes only all such fruite as he doeth pretend in them Which is the better to knowe him the more to submit our selues to his good pleasure and will and not to flye further from him as the wicked doe but to cleaue more nigher vnto hym by fayth that by recouerie of newe force wée maye perseuer in the way of truth Now if there be any weakenesse in any of vs as no doubt there is contrary to our expectation that weakenes commeth not of nor from the truth but from our selues our filthy flesh Let vs not think it a straunge thing that there is such weaknesse in man for that all of vs in as muche as wée are men and of the fleshe our delight is in nothing but in weaknes things of no validitie nor force but of the flesh Here we may all of vs vnderstād and sée what great necessitie we haue as well those which stande vpright as they which bend and fall of the helpe and power of Christ without whome we can in no wise indure to doe any parte of our dueties And therfore let vs be vigilant looke vppō the weaknesse falling one of another as in a glasse bicause therby we might know our owne weaknesse so humble our selues before God as we ought for of our selues wée are cleane repugnant vnto him to all goodnes whereof he is the author And sith that we are all called to the crosse of affliction and calamitie and to fight against the pride and presumption that is in vs and so to be occupyed in contemplation therfore Let none of vs iudge a wrye or amisse of those which are fallen or doo fall but let him which is vpright and on his féete take héede he fall not also Bycause that God is almightie and wil raise vp and cast down whom him lifteth will not forsake but rayse vp them that fall will exalte the humble and méeke and knit close theyr cracks and breakings most sure The cause whye hée doeth not forsake them that are fallen is for that they bée his children and that he wil make hys glorious workes to illustrate and appeare more brighter in thē by the meanes thereof bycause where as sinne doeth abound there doeth grace superabound and his mercy and goodnesse is shining the brighter The wicked worlde cannot abyde that any man shuld repugne or geinsay agaynst his iudgement nor yet allow any thing that is condempned therein But the children of God as they haue a sence féeling of Christ so they doe allow by Christ all which God doth commaund And so likewise by him doe they reproue cōdempne the iudgement of the world for abhominable and wicked And therfore the worlde and his worldlings togither doe against them all the mischief they can to the ende to banish from them this féeling of the truth and so by consequent to dispoyle them from God whose they are But in consideration thereof hée will confounde both the worlde worldlings and their iudgements altogither And if it happen that the chyldren of God doe stumble and fall with the weight of the crosse of cruell persecution giue wrong iudgement disalowing the truth which they ought to alow and doe alowe a lye which they ought to reproue yet their louing god and father wil bring it so to passe that it shal serue them for their best greatest cōmoditie to bring them to be enriched with true humilitie with their onely trust in God whose goodnesse is wonte to ryse stirre and take out of greatest euilles and wickednesse most great blessednesse and happinesse For that those which loue him he doth cōuert vnto them all things for the best yea euen out of sin he doth take great riches to glorify them with As he did to Noah Dauid to Peter after their fals he tooke such occasiō therby as he turned many thinges to their greate goodnes commoditie did make to shyne in them great light out of the darkenesse the which they were in By meanes hereof wée béeyng forsaken of the world and crucified therin And also the worlde béeyng forsaken of vs wée shall come to great knowledge by experyence that neyther honors riches noblenes of birth humayne fauour wisedome nor yet estimation had of men is of no force nor valour in our spirituall batteile But onely a sure fayth and hope in God our Lord. And so beeyng made mightie méeke and hūble in this maner we remain vnited and suerly knit with the vine which is Iesus Christ more prompt and ready to receiue his gifts then at the first The cause why the father doth so picke prime purge and make clean the braūches which
