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.

make a great man then a good and a Christen man For the like hath often happened as well to euyl men and to Heathen men as to good Christen men I wil therfore commend vnto you the giftes of the mind the godly vertues which were in this noble Emperour in the which for y e causes afore aledged I must be more briefe thē otherwise the matter requireth For surely I haue herd y t he aboūded in al kinds of vertue y t he was a louer of iustice a louer of truth a hater of the contraries that he was full of clemencie ful of humblenes of mind no proude man no haultie mā but humble myld and full of affabilitie He was also notvnlearned both in latin al other vulgare toungs so skilful that he was wel able to treate in the same wyth the most part of the nations of Christiandome But out of al his vertues I wil at this time especially cōmend vnto you three wherof two are notoriously knowen throughout all Christendome The thirde I my selfe haue heard by reporte of them that were of good credit and excellent learning And the first is his fortitude traueils and continuaunce in warres against infidels and sworen enemies of the Christian name religiō I meane the Turkes The principal office required of a Christian Prince ouer aboue the dutie of an other Christian is the right vse of the sword put by God into his hand for the defence of the godly and innocent and for the repressing and punishing of the wicked This sword is neuer so wel occupied as when it is drawen in warres to defend christians against infidels and enemies of Christian religion For these wars haue a priuilege or prerogatiue above al other kind of wars for they ar called in y e scriptures Bella domini the lords wars In these kinde of wars against Turkes Mahumetistes this noble Prince spent a great peece of his yong middle age not sparing therin neither his treasure or his trauayl euē in his own persō And therfore in y e point mai very wel be compared to the most godly and valiaunt Prince kyng Dauid of whom for his valeancie against the Philistines other infidels it is writtē that he fought the lords batels But here me thinketh I heare some man making vnto me this obiection and saying Sir ye commende this man highly for his warres against the Turkes But I beseche you what successe had his wars Had not the Turke the vpper hand Haue we not lost for al his wars the better part of the kingdome of Hungarie How then is he worthy commendacion that looseth and not winneth by his wars To that I aunswer that counsels warres aad other actions ar not to be iudged by the successe but by the purpose entent and prudent disposicion towardes the same One Poete wisheth that he should neuer haue good successe which measureth doinges by successe Careat successibus opto quisquis ab euentu facta notanda putat To direct warres and other actions to some good end and to prosecute the same by prudent aduise industrie and actiuitie perteineth as Gods gift to the praise of a man but the successe of thinges is reserued to God alone who disposeth them according to hys diuine wisdome And therfore if God had determined at that time as appeareth manifestly he had to plague Christiandome by the Turke as he did the Iewes by Nabuchodonosor for god can vse both euil men and wicked spirites for his executioners and that for the sinnes of the Christian Princes people and namelye for contemning and persecuting the doctrine of the Gospell then offered vnto thē What could al the kinges of Christendome haue done to the contrary But if we will iudge this matter after the maner of men and by cōmon reason The fault of the losses in Hungary is rather yea iustly to be imputed to other Christian Princes who at that that time for old rustie priuate titles wer at mortal and deadly warre one againste an other and so opened the way to the Turke then to king Ferdinand who continually laboured for aid against the Turke but could obtaine none and was left alone to matche wyth a moste mightie Tyranne who hath alone a dominion in greatnes equal almost to all Christendome besides the conspiracie of diuers Hungarian Princes for Uauoida his quarell with the Turke against him which troubled him more then al the Turkes force And I besech you in this case who could hope to haue good successe And yet his wars against y e Turk did not alwaies lack succes For proofe wherof I shal desire you to cal to remēbraunce how nobly valiantly the Citie of Uienna in Austria was defended against the Turke chieflye by his meanes They that write the histories of our time make reporte that the Citie of Uienna then being a weake towne and not fortified the great Turke hauing passed throughe Hungarye with an huge armie shewing by the way infinite examples of barbarous tirannie crueltie sparing neither age nor sexe no not forbearing to ryp the bodies of Christian wemen great with childe was by him besieged round about with fiue great campes the multitude of thenemies being so great that a man standing in the Tower of the great church there should for eight miles compas rounde about the towne see nothing but tentes pauilions The Turke so approched the towne that he procured y e walles to be vndermined great breaches being made in thre seueral places three terrible assaultes were geuē three sundrye daies and yet through Gods good protection the towne of it selfe weake and newly fortified was defēded by a wall of Christian mens bodies and the Turkish Tiranne repelled with shame and losse of great numbers of his Soldiours to the notable benefite of al Christendome For if the Turke had then surprised Uienna not onely al Germanie but al Italy Fraunce yea and England also would haue before this time trembled quaked And surelye I thinke we of Englande that thinke our selues in most safetie as we haue a prouerbe of the Pope to come to our own doores so should we haue had the Turke or this daye to haue come to our own doores if Uienna had not bene so stoutly and valiantly defended that chiefly by the good meanes of this noble Emperour Ferdinandus For although the Emperour Ferdinande then king of the Romanes was not ther in persō yet is his cōmendation neuer the lesse For the warre was his the towne was his the armie was collected by his prouidence and as they vse to speake in the latin phrase Ferdinandi auspiciis totum bellum gerebatur So that I cōclude if the Emperoux Ferdinande had neuer done any other notable act in al his life as he hath done many besides the defence of Uienna yet were he for that alone worthy of perpetual memory and of eternal fame and renowme The second thing woorthy highe commendacion
