wordes S. Iohn the Apostle Euangelist at the commaundement of Christ doth write the same and so transmitteth them to vs and to the posteritie for euer If Charters or letters written by the Chauncelours or Secretaries of Kinges and Princes cary with them great credite how much more iustly doth this celestiall Charter dictated by the sonne of God and written by the Disciple beloued of Christ Iohn the Apostle and Euangelist deserue credite and authoritie In the tyme of Papistrie and blindnesse men reposed great affiaunce and trust in writinges and pardons that came from Rome wherein they imagined they receiued forgiuenesse of sinnes Apoena Ã culpa and therefore vsed at the tyme of death to take order that all such pardons shoulde be cast into the graue with the corps Such writings be commonlye called Bulles of Rome they well deserued so to be called for Bulla in the latintonge signifieth a bubble or fome that riseth on the water wherin is no substance but though it swell and make a shewe of some thing yet in deede it is voyde and emptie so that with the touche of a straw or the least blast of wind it breaketh vanisheth away and is become nothing Such assuredly were all these deceytfull pardons which if tyme dyd serue I coulde easily by authoritie of gods worde declare and prooue But now blessed is our tyme if we can consider it the tyme of light and knowledge of the Gospell of Christ wherein men are taught to repose their affiaunce and trust not in the Bulles that come from Rome but in this autenticall Charter that came from Heauen not voyde emptie as the popish Bulles but full fraughted and replenished wyth euerlasting treasures and eternall consolacion and comfort The Romish deceitfull ware could not begotten without money but this heauenly Iewell is offered freely without recompeÌ„ce or payment Come saith Esay the Prophet in the .lv. chap. All you that thirst to the waters you that haue no siluer come buye and eate come I say buy wine and milke without siluer and without money thus much for the first part concerning the certayntie and assuraunce of the doctrine contayned in the seconde parte which is this Blessed are the dead which dye in the Lorde Here we haue three matters to consider of first what is blessednesse or what is it to be blessed the seconde what admonition we may gather out of these wordes thirdly who dye in the Lorde for the first The whole worlde which as s. Iohn sayeth lyeth in wickednesse seeketh to be made blessed by worldly goodes riches and possessions as the infinite traueyle of men by sea and by land by perilles and daungers the oppression extorcion theft contentions in lawe the vnsatiable couetousnesse and ambition that reigneth in the worlde doth testifie and manifestly prooue But all these are frustrated and deceyued of their purpose for we finde by experience that true which saint Paule saith Nihil intulimus c. we brought nothing into the world neither shal we cary any thing out We find also dayly performed in effect before our eyes in the weithy and great riche men of this worlde that which Christ in the twelfth of Luke reporteth to haue beene sayde to the man that reioyced and solaced himselfe in the exceeding abundance and increase of corne that had happened vnto him one yeare that is O foole this night shall they fetch away thy soule from thee and then whose shall those things be that thou hast prouided The childreÌ„ of Israel in the wildernes were fed with Manna they were commaunded daily to gather it in the fielde by measure euery man according to his eating and whatsoeuer was reserued till morning contrarie to Moses commaundement stancke and became full of wormes we are the children of Israell this worlde is the wildernesse Manna is the riches and goodes of this worlde whatsoeuer therof is gathered and horeded vp contrary to gods commaundement more then will serue euery mans turne to liue in his degree and calling stincketh afore God and breedeth a worme of disquietnesse of conscience wherby a man shall hardly dispose himselfe to dye in the Lorde so to be blessed And therefore sayeth Ecclesiasticus O death how bitter is the remembraunce of thee to a man that lyueth at rest in his possessions Notable is the sentence and conclusion of Salomon concerning this matter After he had gathered to him siluer and golde and the chiefe treasures of Kings and prouinces and had furnished himselfe withall kinde of worldly pleasures so that he exceeded all that euer was afore him he concludeth saying And I looked on all the workes myne hande had wrought and beholde all is vanitie and vexacion of the spirite there is no profit vnder the sunne we see now that earthly bodily matters be they neuer so precious can not make a man blessed in deede It must therefore consist in Heauenly and spirituall matters It can then be nothing else but the ioy of the lyfe to come in the kingdome of Heauen in the which we shall see God as he is and shall haue the full and perfite fruition of his blessed presence and lyue in him with all the Saincts foreuer and shall possesse ioyes that cannot be explicated with mortall tongues as it is written the eye hath not seene nor the eare heard neither hath ascended into the heart of man that which God hath prepared for them that loue him This celestiall ioy the childreÌ„ of God do taste of in this world in that they apprehend by faith remission of sinnes and quietnesse of conscience in the bloud and passion of christ Howbeit this celestiall ioye in this worlde is but expert in part till the soule be deliuered out of the reache of flesh and bloude I haue determined to speake of diuers matters within the compasse of this sermon and some of them such that I would be sory for lacke of time to be dryuen to cut them of and therefore of this matter here I make an ende I will now returne to the text agayne Blessed are the dead which dye in the Lord. Out of these wordes we may iustly reason that some dye but not in the Lorde and that lyke as they that dye in the Lord are blessed as inheritours of euerlasting life so are they that dye not in the Lordcursed as heires of euerlasting damnation Hereby are we admonished that it is the part of a good Christian in hys lyfe time to take thought and care to prouyde by the assistaunce of Gods grace that he may dye in the Lord and that it is a desperate part to be carelesse in what state the houre of death shal take a man in The maner of wise men in this worlde when they haue any serious and earnest affayres to performe is by some exercise aforehaude to make themselues expert and readie agaynst the tyme they come to earnest dooings as S. Paule noted

it is tonuenient to dawbe a golden piller with myre clay Salomon was of that minde and therfore sayeth Be not thou hasty to be angry for anger resteth in the bosom of fooles I haue had occasion by that I noted in his Lordship to call to remembrance this saying of christ A good man of the good treasure of his hart bringeth forth good things And the euill man of the euill treasure of his heart bringeth forth euill thinges For though occasion were ministred yet shoulde you neuer heare him vtter any opprobrious wordes no not agaynst his aduersarie so pure and immaculate dyd he studie to preserue the Nobilitie of his minde There be some that count theÌ„selues worthie honour and estimation when they teare God in peeces with chafing and horrible othes which this Noble Earle detested and abhorred as a matter not onely vndecent but also repugnant to the nature of true Nobilitie attributing due reuerence to the name of the Lorde and therby proouing the fountaynes of his Nobilitie to spring out of the hyll of the feare of god But what was his religion what fayth God had blessed him with what godly disposition he was of and how abundantly God had enriched hym with his holy spirite his confession of his fayth hys speaches nay rather his sermons in his sickenesse afore his death shall testifie for euer For I receyued by the relation of such as are woorthie credite and were present about him although not all yet many of hys learned godly sayings at that tyme Concerning hys saluation hee reposed his affiaunce and sure trust in the bloude of Iesus Christ. He forgaue all the world and by inuincible fayth apprehended layde holde and imbrased remission of his sinnes in the merites of the sacrifice of Christes bodie offered vppon the crosse for the sinnes of the world Trentals Masses Diriges Pardons and such other papisticall trifles he vtterly contemned as wicked and blasphemous agaynst the death and passion of christ He fared like the children of Israell in the wildernesse which when they were stinged with Serpentes euen to death yet when they looked vp to the brasen Serpent they were made whole safe and sounde So this Noble Earle grieued wyth the remembraunce of his former vnthankefull lyfe as he iudged immediately directed the eyes of hys mynde to the death and passion of Christ and forthwith felt such health of soule that he was replenished with ioy in the holy Ghost and all his delite was in meditacion of the ioy of the worlde to come and the fruition of the presence of God for euer In so much that fyue or sixe dayes before he dyed he shewed himselfe more lyke an Aungell from heauen then a man compassed with flesh and bloud My Lorde the Archbyshoppe of Dublin as I was enformed could mooue him in no question or article pertayning to saluation that he was not ready in and learnedly and godly resolued yea and made such aunsweres in all thinges that my Lord of Dublin had them in great admiration and affirmed that his speaches at that tyme shoulde serue him for sermous as long as he liued How truely he relinquished the vanitie of this worlde and how effectually he thyrsted after the ioy of the life to come his godly admonitions ministred vnto such as visited him and his heauenly lessons and exhortacions to his seruants shall testifie for euer for they were such that his seruaunts report they shall neuer forget and such as they shall be the better for whyles they lyue Thus haue I briefly and partly declared vnto you both the lyfe and death of this worthy Magistrate to the ende we shoulde consider how seriously God doth call vs to a reconing by the losse of such a good Magistrate Now a worde or two to shewe who be they that dye in the Lorde and then an ende They principally are sayd to dye in the Lorde which suffer death vnder the beast for confession of Christes religion for they properly dye in the Lords cause Such are the Martirs aswell of the primitiue church vnder the cruell Emperours as the martyrs of all ages sithence vnder Antichrist of Rome They also dye in the Lorde which though they dye not by the crueltie of the beast yet they dye in the faith of Iesus Christ and are therfore blessed Of this number was this godly Earle as I haue before declared Wherfore I will conclude and direct my speach for two or three wordes to this good Earle O noble Earle of Essex in thy tyme the Pearle of Nobilitie the myrrour of Vertue and woorthy qualities the childe of Chyualrie the beautifull flower of Englande the precious Iewell and comfort of VVales the trustie stay of Ireland Thy lyfe was most Honourable thy worthinesse incomparable thy death precious in the sight of God for thou dyedst in the Lord a right inheritour of the euerlasting kingdome of heauen Wherfore by authoritie of the heauenly oracle that S. Iohn was commaunded to write thou art to be pronounced blessed for euer Our sinnes hath shortned thy lyfe so that we coulde enioye the same no longer Thou hast notwithstanding bequeathed thy body to be buryed amongest vs here in Wales Of very duetie therefore O Noble Earle thy Tombe shall be with vs in reuerence estimation honour the fame and name of thy Nobilitie valiauntnesse vertue and woorthinesse shal neuer be forgotten but shall lyue and be kept with vs in memorie from generation to generation whyle the world standeth Deare beloued audience bycause the tyme is spent here wyll I abruptly make an end and neither deale with the thyrde part of my first diuision nor make recapitulacion of any matter I haue spoken of Onely let vs pray that God of hys mercy graunt vs grace to consider his holy will and pleasure declared vnto vs by so many messengers and especially by this message that we now receyue in the death of this noble Magistrate And that we may learne to dye in the Lorde as he hath done and that togither wyth him and all the elect of God we may participate a ioyfull resurrection in the world to come through our Sauiour Iesus Christ to whome wyth the Father and the holy Ghost be laude honour prayse for euer and euer Amen 1.
