A06502	A commentarie or exposition vppon the twoo Epistles generall of Sainct Peter, and that of Sainct Jude. First faithfullie gathered out of the lectures and preachinges of that worthie instrumente in Goddes Churche, Doctour Martine Luther. And now out of Latine, for the singuler benefite and comfort of the godlie, familiarlie translated into Englishe by Thomas Newton; Enarrationes in epistolas Divi Petri duas et Iudae unam. English	Luther, Martin, 1483-1546.; Newton, Thomas, 1542?-1607.	1581 (1581)	STC 16978; ESTC S108928	231,904	387

neither cursed when he giltleslie was brought before the Iudge and therfore thou must also not here looke alwaies to bee iustlie dealt withall but as it were whollie to neglecte and not to care how indifferentlie and rightlie Iustice in this respect is ministred vnto thee but when thou haste wrong offred thee saie rather to thy wrong I thanke GOD herevnto am I called that I should suffer wrong For why should I complaine sithe Christe my Lorde and Sauiour who was guiltlesse and innocent euery waie complained not And here hath Saincte Peter alledged certaine woordes out of the liij Chapter of Esaie the Prophete where it is thus saied that He had committed no wickednesse neither was any guile founde in his mouthe And these woordes By whose stripes ye were healed mentioned also in the same Chapter vers v. Christe was so pure that there was not so muche as one euill woorde in his tongue he was worthie to haue had all honoure at their handes he deserued to bee kneeled vnto and as it were to bee caried in the armes of all menne Finallie he had power and aucthoritie enough to haue reuenged hymself if it had so pleased hym but he suffered hymself rather to bee reuiled mocked blasphemed and laste of all put to death and yet not once opened he his mouthe Why therefore shouldest thou bee any whitte vnwillyng to suffer persecution and wrong sith thou art nothyng but Synne Thou shouldest rather hartilie thanke God and highlie extoll his gracious goodnesse who hath accoumpted thee worthie to bee like to his Christe and not to repine and mutter nor to bee vnpacient when thou art wronged seeyng that the Lorde hymself neither reuiled nor threatened againe but earnestly praied for his Enemies But thou wilte peraduenture saie Sall I allowe and thinke well of them that deale Iniuriously with me and saie that therein thei doe well I aunswere No. But saie rather thus in thine harte although I haue not deserued this hard dealing nor to bee thus wrongfully entreated yet will I willyngly suffer these thynges for my Lorde God his sake who beeyng moste innocente was for my sake euill entreated and moste wrongfully dealte withall Commit thy cause to God who is a righteous Iudge and he will abundauntly recompence all thy sufferynges euen as Christ committed his cause vnto his Father in heauen Who his owne self saieth Saincte Peter offered vp our Synnes in his bodie on the Tree that is he suffered death not for any cause of his owne but for our sake and for our Saluation whom wee through our Synnes crucified and nailed on the Crosse But alas wee are yet verie farre from suche kinde of sufferyng wrong And therefore if thou be a sincere and a true Christian thou muste imitate Christe in this poincte and bee hartily sorie for them that hurte thee praiyng earnestly for thē vnto almightie God that it maie please hym to forgiue theim and not to punishe theim for the same For alas thei doe more hurte thereby to them selues in their Soule then thei doe harme to thee in thy Bodie This if thou throughly consider and in harte rightly waigh thou canst not choose but be presently eased of all inward grief and willyngly suffer all thynges with pacience And finallie wee are to remember that wee our selues aswell as thei a little afore ledde a wicked life but are now at length tourned vnto Christe as sainct Peter in the knittyng vp of this Chapter saieth For ye were as sheepe goyng astraye but are now returned vnto the sheepherde and bishop of your soules AND this place also hath hee taken out of Esay Chapter liij Where he saieth thus All wee like sheepe haue gone astraie wee haue tourned euery one to his owne waie But now saieth sainct Peter wee haue gotten a Sheepeheard The Sonne of God is come doune for our sakes to bee our Sheepeheard and our Bishoppe hee by giuyng vnto vs his Spirite feedeth vs and so guideth leadeth vs by his Word that wee are now certaine and sure of our Saluation Therefore if thou acknowledge and confesse that thy Sinnes are cleane washed and taken awaie by him thou art his Sheepe and hee is thy Sheepeheard and thy Bishoppe This is the greatest comfort that all Christians haue Thus haue wee fullie finished two Chapters of this Epistle wherein Sainct Peter hath firste laied doune and plainlie taught the sinceritie of Faith and secondarily the sincere workes of Loue and herein also hath hee treated of twoo sortes of Workes namely aswell of those woorkes whiche wee are all bounde in generalitie to shewe vnto the Magistrate as also those dueties that Seruauntes owe vnto their Maisters And what sainct Peter here speaketh of Seruaunts thesame also appertaineth vnto certaine other sortes of men namely Artificers Hirelinges and all sortes of mercenarie seruantes whatsoeuer Now next he laieth downe lessons how man and wife shoulde Christianly liue together The third Chapter LIkewise let the wiues be subiect to their housbandes that euen thei which obey not the worde may without the worde bee wonne by the conuersation of the wiues While thei behold your pure conuersation whiche is with feare Whose apparailyng let it not be outwarde with broyded haire and golde put about or in puttyng on of apparell But let the hid man of the harte bee vncorrupt with a meeke and quiet spirite which is before God a thyng much set by For euen after this maner in time past did the holy women whiche trusted in GOD tier themselues and were subiect to their husbandes As Sara obeyed Abraham and called hym Sir whose daughters ye are whiles ye doe well not beyng afraide of any terrour Likewise ye housbandes dwell with them as men of knowledge giuyng honour vnto the woman as vnto the weaker vessell euen as thei which are heires together of the grace of life that your praiers bee not interrupted Finally be ye al of one minde one suffer with an other loue as brethren be pitifull be courteous Not rendring euill for euill neither rebuke for rebuke but contrariwise blesse knowyng that ye are thereunto called that ye should be heires of blessing For if any man long after life and to see good dayes let him refraine his tongue from euill and his lippes that thei speake no guile Let him eschewe euill and doe good let hym seeke peace and followe after it For the eyes of the Lorde are ouer the righteous and his eares are open vnto their praiers the face of the Lorde is vpon them that doe euill And who is it that will harme you if ye followe that whiche is good Notwithstanding blessed are ye if ye suffer for righteousnesse sake Yea feare not their feare neither be troubled But sanctifie the Lorde God in your heartes and bee readie alwaies to giue an answere to euery man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you and that with meekenesse and reuerence Hauyng a good conscience that when they speake euill of you as
