destinie ought to be auouched nor chaunce or fortune nor contingens or haphazard to be graunted where the due knowledge of Gods prouidence is and the same woorthilye weighed and esteemed Lastly also we haue discussed this question namely whither Gods prouidence dooth bring necessitie to thinges prooued or no. Which points thus handled and discoursed we came to the second parte of our woorke and shewed at large and as far foorth as the method of our matter seemed to require that al the things which were taught by vs of and concerning Gods prouidence auayled verye much aswell to manye other spirituall matters as also especially to the fetching of comfortes from thence against all kinde of perils and dangers whatsoeuer Last of all we haue added also a Psalme preaching most plainely and plentifully aswell of Gods prouidence as also of the comforts to be looked for from the same It remaineth that you my good brethrē vnto whom these petie matters of ours shall come doo rightlye vse them and apply them as much as is possible to your benefite and commoditie I doubt not but many might haue put foorth better things and I dare be bolde to say this that we also could without any great difficultie haue brought many other thinges fitte for our purpose but these same things I hope I had almost sayde I am sure and certain will minister great and excéeding profit to godly mindes and I trust will satisfie all those that being carried with no curiositie haue learned at least to be contented with meane and measurable matters And to the intent that all men might imbrace these things with the more cheerefulnes of minde it were conuenient to adde too some things touching the profitablenes and necessitie of the knowledge of Gods prouidence but for the godly I am perswaded this thing is not greatly néedfull and as for the rest it is better the experience should perswade this matter vnto thē whilest they shall perceiue in the time of their troubles that by the consideration of Gods prouidence woorking all in all they are somewhat eased of their greefs then that they should be brought to confesse it by a certain eagernes of speech This can I say bréefly with our Psalmist He that is wise and rightly enstructed in the knowledg of Gods prouidence will obserue and marke all those things that he seeth to come to passe in this world by the wil of the Lord vndoubtedly he shal vnderstand that euen in al the aduersities which are sent the singular mercye and goodnes of God do shine and appeere which doubtlesse is such a thing as the minde may safely rest vpon it In summe I dare be bolde to say that the true blessednes so farfoorth as maye bee obteined in this life is setled in the knowledge of Gods prouidence on the other side that he that is ignorant of this can neuer haue any thing wherwith assuredly to comfort himselfe and therfore is plundged in extreme misery Nay he scarsely perceiueth himselfe to be a man that is not carried with the care of a more neere knowledge of it But it behoueth before I make an end of speaking to adde in two or thrée woordes as they say somewhat touching the true vse of such diuine comfortes as we haue heaped togither in this place So ought they to be taken as that they may procreate and beget in vs other spirituall fruites also that is to say we must in no wise be made secure by them so as we should vtterly shake off al feare and much lesse must we be hardened in our harts and conceiue as it were a Stoicall indolency in our mindes or through a long custome in euilles be brought into a forgetfulnes of God but we must be stirred vp to patience wherby we may take in good part Gods good will and pleasure towardes vs we must be stirred vp unto faith wherby we may praise him and call vpon him for his helpe for our deliuerance and at length being holpen giue him also thanks This ought to be the tiue and lawfull end of all diuine consolations to the which end we also haue put foorth these things And héewithall shal be closed vp our present discourse only this will we repeate with the Apostle and let vs imprint it most déepely continually in our mindes 2. Cor. 1. Blessed be God euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ the father of mercies and the God of all comfort which comforteth vs in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherwith we our selues are comforted of God God will prouide Genes 22. The end Fower Sermons and two Questions As they were vttered and disputed ad Clerum in S. Maries Church and Schooles in Cambridge By that learned Frencheman P. B. D. of Diuinitye And Englished by I.

L. Sermon I. ALbeit in respect of mine office and function in this Vniuersitie I am now and then to preache héere in this place Right deere and welbeloued Brethren yet notwithstanding is this charge fallen to my lotte sooner then I was aware off by reason of the absence of a certaine singular learned man whose turne and course I am now to supplye And this that I may doo I haue chosen from among the Psalmes the hundreth and thirtie three to be expounded vnto you which first to the end the things that shall afterward be spoken of vs may the better be vnderstoode I will read throughout The tenor of it is this 1. A Song of degrees of Dauid Beholde how good and how iovfull a thing it is brethren to dwell together in vnitie 2 It is like the precious oyntement vppon the head that runneth downe vppon the bearde euen vppon Aarons bearde and went downe to the Skirtes or border of his garmentes 3 And as the dewe of Hermon which falleth vppon the mountaines of Syon for there the Lord promised his blessing and life for euermore Before wee come to the explication of this Psalme we must speake a fewe woordes touching the title of it Wherein is conteyned both the title of the Psalme and the name of the Author For by
