Ghost the bodye of thys Reuerende Doctor Martyne Luther commytted to the earthe in the tower temple of Wittemberge not farre from that pulpett wherin he made manye a notable and godlye sermon by hys lyfetyme in the presence of the most worthye electours Dukes of Saxon and manye other noble prynces more So that it maye wele be veryfyed that Saynt Paule writeth 1. Corinthiorum 15. That is sowen in weakenesse shall aryse in power The bodye that is sowen in corrupcyon shall ryse agayne vncorrupted So Christen a departynge from thys myserye vnto the eternall felycyte our euerlastynge heauenlye father graunt vs of hys mercye infynite whych so gracyouslye called thys elect seruaunt of hys Martyne Luther to so worthye an offyce and also the lorde Iesus Christ whom he so faythfullye preached confessed to the worlde with the holye Ghost whych gaue hym most syngular strength in daungerouse parcls agaynst the wycked pope and the gates of helle Amen We Iustus Ionas Michael Celius and Ioannes Aurifaber whych were present at the godlye and gracyouse departynge of Doctor Martyne Luther from the begynnynge to the ende do testyfye here in conscyence as we sawe and hearde as we wyll be saued afore God in the great daye of tryall And not we onlye but the noble prynces and earles whych were there also present do witnesse the same God the father of our lorde Iesus Christ graūt vs all hys most flowynge habundaunt grace Amen An oracyon or processe rehearced off Philipp Melanchton at the buryall of the Reuerende man Doctour Martyne Luther Trāslated by Iohan Bale THough in thys publique and commō sorowe my vtteraunce be sumwhat dulled by doloure and heauynesse yet must I in so worthye an assemblye as here is now gathered of dewtye saye sumwhat Not as the paganes vsed in onlye commendynge the dead but rather in admonyshynge thys auditorye of the wonderfull gouernaunce and parels of the Christen church That they maye therby knowe afore hande what is to be cared for what to be desyered and what to be folowed of their youthe concernynge examples of a Christen lyfe What though prophane dessolute men in so confuse an ordre of lyuynge do rashlye interprete manye thynges and iudge them to happē by chauce or fortune Lete vs yet whych are confirmed by the manyfolde testymonyes of God seclude the true churche from the vnfaythfull rable and lete vs wele thynke yt to be gouerned preserued of God Yea lete vs ryghtlye beholde hys polytyque ordre perceyue hys trulye appoynted gouernours ▪ and consydre wele their iust course Fynallye lete vs therupon chose vs oute ryght leaders able instructours yea soche as we maye faythfullye both folowe and reuerence Of these so ernest causes wyll yt be necessarye for vs both to thynke and to speake so oft tymes as that reuerende man of God Doctour Martyne Luther our most derelye beloued father mastre is had in remembraunce amonge vs. Whō though a great nombre of wycked lyuers ded most bytterlye hate yet shall yt be mete for vs whych knewe hym a true mynystre of the Gospel raysed of God to fauer regarde and allowe hym and in the ende to shewe so hable testymonyes as maye proue hys doctryne in no case to be sedycyouse and boystuouse fearcenesse as the blynde beastlye belligoddes report hym And though in soche oracyōs as are cōmonly in thys place vttered manye thynges are spoken to the pryuate prayses of thē they are made for Yet that thynge here omytted wyll I now at thys tyme onlye speake of hys ecclesiastick offyce or funccyō of Gods eternall worde For mē of cōsciēce wyll iudge thys alwayes true That yf he hath made opē in the cōgregacyō the wholsom necessarye doctryne as we cā saye no lesse of hym God is greatlye to be lauded whych raysed hym for that purpose hys iust labours fayth perseueraunce and other vertues are moche to be cōmended hys remembraunce to be admytted of all Godlye men Lete thys therfor stande for the fore frōte of our oracyō The sonne of God sayth Paule sytteth at the ryght hande of hys eternall father and geueth gracyouse gyftes vnto men as are the true vtteraunce of the scriptures the holye ghost In whose free dystrybucyon he rayseth vp Prophetes Apostles teachers and ouersears And these he taketh out of our studyouse nombre whych eyther reade heare or Christēlye fauer the Apostles Prophetes wrytynges And not onlye calleth he them vnto that labouryouse offyce which are in autoryte afore but most commonlye he geueth those men sharpe battayle by workemen of a moch meaner sort to se to And trulye a verye plesaunt and profytable aspect is it to beholde the churche by all ages and so to cōsydre the great goodnesse of God whych euermore hath sent good theachers in an ordre or course of cōtynuaūce that they myght as in an host of warryours one succede in an others rowme Knowne is the ordre of our former fathers Adam Seth Enoch Mathusale Noe Sē whych beynge alyue dwellynge nygh to the Sodomytes as the people there ī processe of tyme neglected hys good instruccyōs the wholsome doctryne of Noe hys father so myserablye enclyned to the worshyppynge of Idolles was Abrahā sturred vp of God to be vnto the seyd Sē an assister fellawe helper in that worthye worke of the verytees furtheraūce Vnto hym succeded in that Godlye offyce Isaac Iacob Ioseph whych through out the lande of Egypt than beynge the most floryshynge kyngedome of the world plentuously spred the lyght of that heauenlye doctryne Thā folowed Moses Iosue Samuel Dauid Helias and Heliseus of whom Esaias receyued knowlege and of hym Hieremias After that was Daniel instructed of the seyd Hieremias of the seyd Daniel Zacharias Anon after them came fourth Esdras and Onias Than folowed next them the myghty Machabees than Symeon and Zacharias the prest than Iohan Baptist Christ and hys Apostles Moche profytable were yt to marke wele thys contynuall successyō of Godlye teachers whych ys a most manyfest sygne of the presence of God in hys congregacyon After the Apostles succeded an other sort whych though they were not so stronge as the other yet were they bewtyfullye adourned with the testymonyes of God Of thys companye was Polycarpus Ireneus Gregorius Neocesariensis Basilius Chrisostomus Cyrillus Augustinus Prosper Maximus Hugo Bernardus Taulerus Iohan Wicleue Iohan hufs and other in dyuerse quarters And though thys lattre age were more blynde than all the rest yet God alwayes reserued a remnaunt to hys peoples behoue And manyfest is yt that by the voyce of Luther the lyght of the Gospell hath apered more clere than of longe tyme afore He is therfor worthelye to be ioyned to thys most bewtyfull nombre of notable men whom God hath hyther sent to rectyfye and restore hys fathfull churche These ought we alwayes to
