qui male vixit He cannot die euill that hath liued wel and hardly hardly sayth he can he die wel that hath liued euil He saith hardlye for that no mā can limit the measure of gods mercies he may whē his merciful wil is cal at y e xi houre as Christ our sauiour in the parable of the woorkemen sent into the vineyard declareth He may cal at the last end of our life as he did the theefe on the crosse But that is not his ordinarye way let no mā presume vpon that but let euery man obey the voice of god whē he calleth him who by his holy word calleth al men at altimes when they reade or heare it When I saye that to liue wel is the verye best preparation to die wel let no man thincke that I herein go about to extoll the dignitie or merite of mans woorkes But that I vnderstande by lyuynge well all those qualities and vertues whiche pertayne to a true Christian manne amonges which those that be of the first table of the commaundementes of God are moste principall As namelye Christian beliefe the true knowledge of god assured faith in the mercies of God for the merites of Christe onelye Out of which as out of a most plentiful fountaine springeth true innocation of God true mortification of the old man and contempt of the world with all the woorkes of charity mercye Of which I wil cease to speake any further at this present both for that I am excluded by tyme now ouerpast and also for that the particular tractation of these is the principal matter of all our other sermons Of the which as ye haue often times hearde heretofore so shal you also hereafter heare often of me other my brethren by the grace and ayd of almighty God who graunt vnto euerye one of vs that when the vncertaine houre of death shal come we may be found vigilant and well prepared that departing from hence wyth a ioyfull conscience we may be partakers of that blessednes felicitye whiche in the Scriptures our sauiour promiseth to those seruauntes whom the Lorde at his commyng shall finde watchyng and ready Whiche blessednes God graunte vs all and that through the merites and death of the same our Sauiour Iesus Christ.

Ambrose in like Sermōs hyghly cōmended Ualētinianus Theodosius the Emperours Which was not done of these learned fathers either for vayne ostentatiō of eloquēce or for flattery of their frendes remayning a liue but partly to cōtinue a reuerent honorable memory of y e parties discessed partly to excite and stirre vp others by rehearsall of their vertues to the imitation of the same And here I must craue pardon if I shall not so largely and particularly speake in the commēdation of this noble Emperour as did Ambrose of Ualentinian Theodosius For this prince was to me personally vnknowen Ambrose was much conuersaunt with both the other And therfore of this prince I can reporte onely those thinges whiche either are credibly written of him in the histories of our tyme or that are notoriouse by common fame or that I my selfe haue heard by very certeine reporte of men of good credite And here I will briefly passe ouer those thinges which Orators could prosecute with much eloquence at great length As first of all his highe parentage and nobilitie of birth being in dede very notable descendyng in direct line from sundry Emperours Fridericke Thēperour of that name the third was his great graundfather Maximilian the Emperour sonne to the said Fridericke was his graundfather Phillip kyng of Spayne father to Charles the last Emperour and to him his mother was the daughter and heire of the kyng of Spaine his fathers mother was the onely daughter and heire to Carolus Audax Charles y e bold Duke of Burgundie and Lord of all the lowe countreis in dede a Duke by stile but when he liued terrible to the mightiest kynges of his time he him selfe also descending lyneally frō the kings of Fraunce So that there was compacted in this princes person as it were a bundell of the principall nobilitie of the christiā world out of the compas of the which world ther is no true nobilitie but al Barbarie I wil likewise passe ouer the dignitie and honor of his estate whiche was the highest tipe of all worldly preeminencie to the whiche he ascended by all steppes and degrees of honor As first of all after the death of Maximilian the Emperour his graundfather besides other his titles and stiles he was created not a Duke which is a place of great honor and namely in those countries but an Archduke I meane Archduke of Austria and that more is the onely Archduke of the worlde so farre as I haue read or heard Other ther were Archdukes in stile but he onely so long as he liued was Archduke in possessiō Soone after he was crowned king of Boheme then elected king of Romanes after that king of Hungarye last of al Emperour of Rome whiche is the highest steppe and degree of honour that any man in Christianitie can attain vnto When I say highest I do not here except the pretensed supereminencie of the Popes holines for I take his holines in chalenging to be aboue the Emperour to bee an vsurper and in this point I haue Tertuliane to make with me who writeth plainly thus Imperator omnibus hominibus maior solo deo minor The Emperour saith he is greater then al men and yet lesse then God alone Thus much concerning the royall progenie and imperial state of Ferdinandus which thinges I haue briefely passed ouer as matters more meete for them that write Panegyrical Orations then for the Pulpet For although they be the giftes of God therfore to be estemed in their kinde yet be they the thinges that rather
