thee For as thou oughtest to reioyce in the iustice of God perse cuting thy sinne euen so reioice in the execution against sinners enemies to God and to man We heare now what excellēt benefites is foūd in great and horrible euelꝭ and how we ought to reioyce in our great miseries not because of y e euelꝭ it self but because of the inestimable goodnesse and iustice of God the which taketh vengeaunce of oure sinnes and wickednes ¶ The fift Chapiter of the fyfth consideration of the good on the left hand HEre is to be spoken of the aduersaries that be yet liuing in the world for in the Chapiter going before we haue treated of the aduersaries that be all damned made like to the deuelles but we must consider these heere with an other affection and consider them two maner of waies First they abound and prosper in temporall thingꝭ in suche sort that the Prophetꝭ them selues were almoste moued to enuy thē because of their felicitie as it is said in the. 73. Psalme My foot had all moste slipped my steps were almoste gone seeyng the wicked in suche prosperitie and felicitie I had euen all moste borne them enuy And in the same Psalme Beholde the wicked habunding in iniquitie haue obtayned great riches And in the. 12. of Jeremy Thou art verely righteous Lord when I doo argue against thee neuerthelesse I shall consider of the thinges that be righteous with thee Wherfore doo I see the wicked prosper the affaires of all those whiche wurk wickednesse and goe forward But y e questions is Wherefore dooth he poure vpon them so great benefites and so vndeserued but to the end to comefort vs and to shew how good he wil be to them that are of an vpright hart as it is saide in y e same Psalme He that is so good to the wicked how muche more wil he be good to the faithful and in that he dooth not tormēt the wicked with any maner euelles but the good he prooueth them by many euellꝭ that they may know that he is good to them not onely in goodes that be present but also in riches whiche bee hidden and inuinsible that they may say with the Psalmist It is good for me to ioyne my self to the Lorde and to set my hope and trust in my God as if he had said Although I suffer seeing them deliuered and free without trouble yet I haue this confidence that God wil let me feele his clemency and goodnesse muche more then shall they And therefore the disible goodes of the wicked bee spurres to moue vs to trust in the inuisible goodꝭ and to dispise set light by the euellꝭ whiche we suffer It is it that y e Lord Jesus commaundeth vs in the sixt Chapiter of Saint Mathew to beholde the birdes of the ayre and the Lillyes of the feeld saying If God so clothe the grasse whiche is to day in his flowre and to morow cast into the furnace how muche rather wil he clothe you O ye of little faith Wherefore by the comparison of the goodꝭ whiche the wicked abuse and the euelles and miseries whiche wee suffer our faith is exercised and wee obtaine consolation in God whiche is the moste holy consolatiō and comfort So necessary it is that all thingꝭ happen to the best to y e faithful The other goodes whiche is muche more to be meruailed at is that their euelles be turned to our good and profite as GOD hath ordeined it For all though their sinnes be offensiue to y e weakest and infirm and feeble s●●lꝭ neuertheles they be exercises of vertue and of spirituall battaile and of greater helth to the strong and faithful For blessed is the man that suffreth in temptation for when he shal be tried he shall receiue a crowne of life Now is there a greater temptation then these multitude of moste euell examples And y e cheefe reason why the world is called an enemy to the faithful and electe of God is that by their enticementes and wicked wurkes they may draw vs allure prouoke and turne vs from the way of God to their wayes As is saide in y e. 6. of Genesis The Sonnes of God saw the daughters of men that they were faire and ioyned them selues to them Also in Numeri 25. Chapiter The Children of Israel are fallē with the daughters of the Moabites insomuche that it is a thing helthful to vs to be continually pressed holden down by some misfortune so that we striuing with the euell occasions of the world fall not into sinne and wickednesse we I say that be so weake Also Saint Peter in the. 2. Chapiter of his second Epistle commendeth Lot for that he suffred many wicked examples of the Sodomites so that he profited and encreaced in righteousnes thorow these thīgꝭ Therfore it is necessary y e offences happen whiche engender warre and victory Yet notwithstanding wo bee to y e world because of offences Now if God procure vs so great goodnesse in the sinnes and wickednesse of others how muche more ought we to beleeue with all our hartes that hee shall procure and turne into good our euelles and misfortunes although the sence and feeling of the fleshe iudgeth otherwise The world bringeth vs no lesse goodnesse on the other side with his euelles whiche is called aduersitie misery For those whiche he can not swallow by enticementes and incorporate to him self by offences hee assayeth to repulse and put fro him by aduerūtyes and driueth them of by paines and tormentes procuring alwaies against them snares by examples of sin foining out his furies by horrible tormentes and paines This is the monster that the Poets doo call Chimery whiche hath the hedde of a damosell and gratious countenaunce the wombe of a Lion and the taile of a venemus serpent For the ende to whiche the world pretendeth what with his volupteousnes and what w t his tiranny is poisoned death and dampnation eternally So now wee see that God hath made vs to finde our cheef goodꝭ in y e midst of the sinn● of y e world to thend that y e persecutious and afflictions whiche he sendeth be not to vs idle nor vaī They be or deyned vs for the encreasing of oure benefites in suche wise that the same wherewith the world dooth noy and molest vs be constrained to profit vs. As Saint Augustine saith of the litle Children that Herod put to death That hee neuer profyted so muche by loue and good wil as hee did by hate And Saint Agathe went into the Prison very ioyously as to a banket saying thus If thou doost not tame my bodye by thy tormentors my soule shall not come into heauen for to receiue y e moste blessed crown And as the graine of wheat is not laid vp into the barnes but first is driuen out of the eare and sore beatē in the ayer barne But wherefore doe wee tary vpon thinges so small seeyng the holy scriptures and all
