agréeth with many other places of the Scripture And that the metaphor of the cuppe and of drinking is vnderstoode after this sorte it is more manifest than that it néedes demonstration with many wordes séeing we are assured that Christe also in the Gospell often vsed the same And in the selfe same cause the like wordes are vsed by other Prophetes whome Abdias no doubte was a follower of as is euidente by the whole course of hys Sermon Certainely in Esay 51. Chapter the Lord cryeth out Avvake avvake stande vp Hierusalem thou that from the Lords hande hast drunken the cup of his indignation vvhich hast drunken and supped of the slumbring cup dregs and all c. And in Hiereme it is written Babylon vvas a Golden cup in the hande of the Lorde making drunken the vvhole earth c. And in another place namely in the 25. Chap. the Prophet is commanded to reache out this cuppe vnto all nations wheras amongst other words the Lords sayeth thus If so be they refuse to take this cup of thy hande to drinke thereof tel them Thus sayth the Lord of hostes Yee shall not fayle but drinke thereof For beholde I begin to plague the citie that is called after my name and shoulde you escape altogether vnpunished Hereto therefore had Abdias also respecte in saying these wordes namely that the Iewes should take no offence at the wanton felicitie of the Edomites ▪ sith that within short space they should suffer the gréeuouser punishment Now from hence may be fet a generall doctrine and verie necessarie to bée marked namely that the afflictions of Goddes church are shewetokens of suche Plagues as the wicked world must néedes be ouerwhelmed withal For iudgemēt beginneth at the house of God as not long since vpon the Prophete Amos hathe bene admonished And continually ought that saying of Christe to be before our eyes If this be done on the grene tree vvhat shal become of the drye And surely greate difference is there betwéene the Iudgementes of God ouer the godly and the vngodly For the godly drinke the cuppe of affliction from the Lordes hande but béeing drunken therewith God rayseth them vp againe as before vpon Esaye wée haue declared least they should vtterly perishe Contrarywise the vngodly for that they acknowledge not the iudgementes of God but become worse and worse thereby are vtterly lost both in bodie and soule Lette vs then bée myndefull of these things and paciently abyde what soeuer he layeth vppon vs and vse the same to the amendement of oure lyues that in tyme to come wée may in Heauen drink of that abundaunt cuppe of Eternall felicitie whiche Christe Iesus oure Lorde hath promysed to them that remaine with him To whome belongeth Thankesgiuing honour glorie and dominion for euer Amen The fourth Homelie BVt vpon the mount Sion shal be a safegard and it shal be holie and the house of Iacob shal again enioye her old possessions And the house of Iacob shall be a fire and the house of Ioseph a flame the house of Esau shal be the stravve vvhich they shall kindle and cōsume so that there shall be nothing left of the house of Esau for the Lord himself hath said it And they shal possesse the South namely the mount of Esau the plain coūtrey of the Philistines They shal also possesse the fieldes of Ephraim and the fielde of Samaria and Beniamin shal possesse Gilead And the armie of the children of Israel that shal returne shal haue all that belongeth to the Chananites euen vnto Zarphat and Hierusalem that shall retourne shall possesse vvhat soeuer is in Sepharad euen the cities of the South And there shall goe vp sauiours vnto the mounte Sion to Iudge the mounte of Esau and the kingdome shall be the Lordes HItherto Abdias in the firste part of his Sermon hath threatned to the Edomites the horrible iudgement of God thereby to salue that offence which was obiected to Captiues in Babylon when the Babylonians sawe them caste out of their natiue countrey and many wayes subiect to miserie the posteritie of Esau contrarywise flourishing in prosperous estate and ouer insolently bragging against the people of god But bicause men are not alwayes in the better case althoughe their enimies bée putte to due punishemente for theyr vniuste dealing and crueltie therfore ensueth nowe the other parte wherin hée promyseth that the Iewes shal be restored agayne therby to let them vnderstande that GOD will not onely reuenge the Iniuries doone vnto them but that he will also be mindefull of hys promises and set vp agayne that kingdome amongst them whch he so ofte had promised to theyr fathers And from hence we also are to fet consolation that God is not in manner of a furious man caried with a blinde rage against his ennimies but that the reuenge whiche he taketh vppon them is ioyned also wyth their deliuerance to succéede But before we take in hande the wordes of Abdias that which lately was spoken in the conclusion of Amos his prophecie must here also be marked namely that those things which the Prophets speake of the restoring againe of Israell haue their full perfection none otherwise but in Christ who alone hath reedified that eternal and blessed kingdome of God amōgst mē Wherfore with the historicall sense wée must also ioyn togither the mysteries of Christ and his Churche and forth with shall we perceiue that al stay of saluation is comprehended in the same Firste of all by a generall promise hée teacheth that they all shall haue peace in Gods Church as many as holde themselues within the lappe thereof In the mount Sion shal be saith he a safegard and it shall be holy c. He séemeth to set these words against all the other that he had spoken before of the cruel layings in waite of the Edomites and euen of all the ennemies of the Churche as if thys were the sense Although now ye are caried away into Babylon and there susteine all kind of miseries againe althogh the Edomites busie themselues aboute intercepting of suche as do yet remaine and hauing intercepted them either send them ouer to the Babylonians or else by force take them away to become theyr slaues yet shall they neuer bring it to passe but that vpon mount Sion God wil set vp his Church which may be a sanctuarie of safetie for al that flye therevnto and that the same mount may remayne consecrate vnto my honoure in such sort that I will not suffer it to be continually prophaned of the Gentiles And hereout shall it come to passe that the house of Iacob shal againe enioy hir old possessions that is to witte The land which of olde tyme I promysed vnto Abraham or as others interprete it they shall possesse suche as at this present haue the rule ouer them And this thing in the wordes that folowe by a more plentyfull reckoning vp of the partes hee will expresse These thinges
