A17725	Two godly and learned sermons, made by that famous and woorthy instrument in Gods church, M. Iohn Caluin. Which sermons were long since translated out of Latine into English, by M. Robert Horne late Byshop of Winchester, at what time he suffered exile from his country, for the testimony of a good conscience, as his apology in the beginning of the booke will witnes. And because these sermons haue long lyen hidden in silence, and many godly and religious persons, haue beene very desirous of them: at theyr earnest request they are nowe published by A.M.; Quatre sermons. English. Selections	Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564.; Horne, Robertc1519?-1580.; Munday, Anthony, 1553-1633.	1584 (1584)	STC 4461; ESTC S110726	58,766	149

godly_a and_o christian_a life_n nor_o may_v seem_v any_o thing_n to_o hinder_v us._n we_o also_o which_o live_v here_o in_o rest_n and_o quiet_a enjoy_v the_o use_n of_o the_o great_a and_o singular_a benefit_n of_o god_n let_v we_o not_o forget_v that_o i_o touch_v in_o the_o beginning_n that_o we_o apply_v these_o thing_n to_o our_o learning_n that_o whatsoever_o hereafter_o befall_v we_o or_o into_o whatsoever_o country_n we_o shall_v be_v lead_v yet_o we_o may_v always_o constauntlie_o abide_v in_o the_o pure_a confession_n of_o our_o faith_n detest_a all_o idolatrous_a religion_n superstition_n and_o abuse_n which_o be_v against_o god_n truth_n do_v obscure_a his_o honour_n and_o utterlie_o subvert_v his_o religion_n amen_n ❧_o a_o godly_a and_o learned_a sermon_n make_v by_o m._n john_n caluin_n contain_v a_o exhortation_n to_o suffer_v persecution_n that_o we_o may_v therein_o follow_v jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n take_v out_o in_o this_o say_n in_o the_o 13._o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n ver_fw-la 13._o ¶_o let_v we_o go_v forth_o to_o he_o without_o the_o gate_n bear_v his_o opprobrie_n all_o the_o exhortation_n which_o can_v be_v make_v to_o instruct_v we_o to_o suffer_v patient_o and_o constauntlie_o for_o christ_n jesus_n name_n and_o his_o gospel_n shall_v not_o much_o move_v we_o unless_o we_o know_v and_o be_v perfect_o persuade_v of_o the_o right_n truth_n and_o worthiness_n of_o the_o cause_n wherefore_o we_o contend_v for_o when_o we_o be_v in_o that_o ieoberdy_o and_o danger_n that_o we_o must_v loose_v our_o life_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o certain_a of_o that_o thing_n wherefore_o we_o enter_v into_o so_o great_a peril_n but_o that_o constauncie_n and_o fyrmenesse_n of_o mind_n can_v be_v have_v unless_o it_o be_v déeplie_o found_v in_o a_o certainty_n and_o sure_a persuasion_n of_o faith_n there_o be_v many_o which_o will_v unaduisedlie_o and_o rash_o venture_v to_o die_v for_o certain_a foolish_a opinion_n invent_v of_o their_o own_o brain_n but_o such_o forwardness_n of_o mind_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v think_v a_o furiousness_n than_o a_o christian_a zeal_n and_o love_n for_o assure_o there_o be_v no_o firmness_n either_o of_o mind_n or_o wit_n or_o of_o common_a sense_n in_o these_o man_n which_o do_v cast_v themselves_o into_o peryll_n with_o such_o hardy_a rashness_n how_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v god_n will_v not_o acknowledge_v and_o take_v we_o for_o his_o martyr_n and_o witness_n without_o a_o good_a cause_n for_o death_n be_v common_a for_o all_o man_n and_o also_o the_o condemnation_n of_o thief_n and_o of_o god_n child_n the_o sufferance_n of_o shame_n and_o punishment_n seem_v to_o be_v all_o one_o but_o god_n make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o because_o he_o can_v deny_v and_o forsake_v his_o own_o truth_n this_o also_o be_v require_v that_o we_o have_v a_o sure_a wytnesse_n void_a of_o all_o error_n of_o that_o doctrine_n which_o we_o will_v defend_v wherefore_o as_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o exhortation_n so_o weighty_a that_o can_v move_v and_o persuade_v we_o to_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n but_o if_o a_o true_a certainty_n of_o faith_n be_v imprint_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o to_o put_v our_o life_n in_o danger_n without_o any_o consideration_n unaduisedlie_o and_o chaunceablie_o be_v most_o against_o nature_n and_o so_o to_o do_v shall_v be_v think_v rather_o rashness_n than_o christian_a boldness_n moreover_o god_n allow_v nothing_o that_o we_o do_v unless_o we_o be_v plain_o persuade_v that_o it_o be_v for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o for_o his_o cause_n that_o the_o world_n be_v so_o against_o we_o and_o do_v hate_v us._n but_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o such_o certainty_n and_o persuasion_n of_o mind_n i_o do_v not_o only_o understande_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v know_v to_o discern_v and_o judge_v betwixt_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o the_o foolish_a opinion_n and_o constitution_n of_o man_n but_o also_o that_o we_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o the_o crown_n promise_v unto_o we_o in_o heaven_n after_o our_o conflict_n in_o this_o world_n let_v we_o now_o mark_v well_o that_o these_o two_o reason_n do_v pertain_v to_o our_o duty_n and_o must_v be_v join_v together_o that_o the_o one_o may_v in_o no_o wise_a be_v separate_v and_o disjoin_v from_o the_o other_o it_o be_v meet_v therefore_o to_o take_v our_o beginning_n of_o this_o that_o we_o understand_v and_o know_v what_o be_v our_o christian_a religion_n what_o faith_n it_o be_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o hold_v and_o follow_v what_o rule_n of_o life_n god_n have_v give_v we_o neither_o must_v we_o only_o have_v our_o mind_n instruct_v with_o this_o godly_a doctrine_n but_o also_o have_v our_o mind_n so_o arm_v and_o prepare_v that_o we_o may_v free_o and_o bold_o damn_v all_o error_n lie_n and_o superstition_n which_o satan_n have_v bring_v into_o the_o world_n to_o corrupt_v the_o pure_a simplicity_n of_o god_n doctrine_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n that_o there_o be_v so_o small_a a_o number_n of_o man_n that_o have_v a_o ready_a mind_n and_o desire_v to_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o that_o profess_v themselves_o christian_n know_v not_o the_o power_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o their_o own_o profession_n gospel_n all_o man_n in_o a_o manner_n be_v negligent_a and_o have_v no_o desire_n or_o very_o small_a to_o hear_v and_o read_v who_o think_v it_o sufficient_a if_o they_o have_v get_v some_o small_a taste_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o there_o be_v see_v in_o these_o no_o surety_n and_o constancy_n of_o mind_n and_o that_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o come_v into_o any_o conflict_n they_o be_v so_o abash_v as_o though_o they_o shall_v by_o and_o by_o uterlie_o perish_v for_o which_o consideration_n our_o desire_n ought_v to_o be_v great_a to_o pursue_v and_o search_v out_o most_o dilligentlie_o god_n truth_n that_o therewith_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v persuade_v without_o any_o doubt_n neither_o be_v this_o all_o to_o have_v such_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n for_o we_o see_v many_o so_o well_o travayl_v in_o god_n doctrine_n that_o they_o seem_v as_o though_o they_o be_v stain_v and_o die_v therewith_o in_o who_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v no_o desire_n and_o love_n of_o god_n no_o more_o true_o then_o if_o they_o have_v know_v nothing_o at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o godly_a doctrine_n but_o by_o a_o certain_a unsure_a light_n and_o waver_a opinion_n but_o what_o other_o cause_n be_v there_o of_o this_o so_o great_a uncertainty_n and_o levity_n but_o that_o they_o do_v never_o perceyve_v in_o their_o mind_n the_o majesty_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o true_o if_o we_o will_v right_o weigh_v that_o it_o be_v god_n that_o speak_v to_o we_o therein_o we_o will_v hear_v he_o with_o more_o diligence_n attention_n and_o reverence_n angel_n if_o we_o will_v think_v in_o read_v the_o scripture_n that_o we_o be_v be_v in_o the_o school_n and_o discipline_n of_o angel_n we_o shall_v have_v another_o manner_n of_o desire_n to_o exercise_v ourselves_o in_o that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v set_v forth_o unto_o we_o to_o comfort_v strengthen_v and_o instruct_v our_o mind_n patience_n now_o we_o see_v what_o be_v the_o way_n to_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o patience_n and_o sufferance_n for_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v so_o to_o go_v forward_o in_o the_o doctrine_n thereof_o that_o be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o that_o doctrine_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o hold_v and_o defend_v we_o may_v nothing_o esteem_v and_o despise_v all_o the_o fraud_n and_o illusion_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n as_o thing_n not_o only_o of_o no_o value_n but_o also_o execrable_a because_o they_o utterlie_o corrupt_v the_o christian_a sincerity_n and_o herein_o we_o differre_fw-la as_o true_a martyr_n of_o jesus_n christ_n from_o the_o furious_a and_o stifnecked_a man_n which_o suffer_v for_o their_o own_o foolish_a opinon_n secondlie_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o mind_v that_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o right_n and_o goodness_n of_o the_o cause_n we_o shall_v be_v inflame_v with_o this_o due_a desire_n to_o follow_v god_n whether_o soever_o he_o shall_v call_v we_o to_o embrace_v his_o word_n with_o such_o reverence_n as_o it_o be_v worthy_a and_o be_v call_v back_o from_o the_o deceytfull_a fashion_n of_o this_o world_n as_o man_n ravish_v with_o their_o whole_a mind_n and_o endeavour_n shall_v be_v carry_v to_o a_o heavenly_a life_n but_o o_o most_o miserable_a case_n that_o when_o the_o light_n of_o god_n do_v shine_v unto_o we_o in_o these_o day_n so_o bright_a as_o it_o do_v never_o shine_v in_o the_o remembrance_n of_o man_n yet_o so_o little_a zeal_n favour_n and_o love_n shall_v be_v

what_o murder_n they_o do_v but_o if_o we_o will_v have_v this_o stay_n and_o moderation_n of_o mind_n that_o we_o can_v patient_o abide_v god_n will_v at_o the_o last_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o a_o cause_n that_o he_o so_o great_o esteem_v our_o life_n and_o have_v it_o in_o so_o great_a honour_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v we_o not_o take_v it_o to_o grief_n if_o it_o be_v now_o bestow_v to_o confirm_v and_o garnishe_v the_o gospel_n which_o excel_v heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o worthiness_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v more_o sure_o persuade_v that_o god_n will_v never_o leave_v we_o as_o abjects_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o enemy_n let_v we_o not_o forget_v the_o same_o say_n of_o jesus_n christ_n wherein_o he_o say_v 9.4_o that_o it_o be_v he_o himself_o who_o man_n do_v persecute_v in_o his_o member_n god_n say_v before_o by_o zacharie_n who_o so_o touch_v you_o 8._o touch_v the_o sight_n of_o my_o eye_n this_o be_v much_o more_o express_v if_o we_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n it_o be_v even_o as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o be_v and_o suffer_v in_o that_o affliction_n therefore_o let_v we_o think_v so_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v forget_v himself_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o care_n and_o thought_n of_o we_o at_o that_o time_n when_o we_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o danger_n of_o life_n for_o his_o cause_n and_o glory_n and_o let_v we_o also_o know_v that_o god_n will_v take_v all_o the_o contumely_n and_o injury_n as_o do_v against_o his_o own_o son_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o place_n of_o consolation_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a among_o god_n promise_n that_o be_v that_o god_n will_v so_o hold_v we_o up_o with_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o these_o affliction_n that_o our_o enemy_n whatsoever_o they_o do_v nor_o satan_n their_o chief_a captain_n shall_v in_o any_o thing_n go_v away_o with_o the_o upper_a hand_n and_o true_o we_o do_v see_v how_o in_o that_o necessity_n he_o do_v show_v the_o succour_n and_o help_n of_o his_o grace_n for_o the_o invincible_a stoutness_n and_o constancy_n of_o mind_n which_o be_v see_v in_o the_o true_a martyr_n be_v a_o notable_a token_n of_o that_o same_o most_o mighty_a power_n which_o god_n use_v in_o his_o saint_n ●rsecution_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o persecution_n gréevous_a tedious_a and_o intolerable_a to_o the_o flesh_n whereof_o the_o one_o consist_v in_o the_o check_n and_o rebuke_n of_o man_n the_o other_o in_o the_o pain_n and_o torment_n of_o the_o body_n kind_n in_o both_o these_o kind_n of_o temptation_n god_n do_v promise_v so_o his_o assistance_n that_o we_o shall_v easy_o overcome_v all_o the_o infamy_n and_o violence_n of_o the_o grief_n and_o pain_n and_o true_o what_o he_o promyse_v he_o do_v perform_v in_o deed_n with_o most_o manifest_a and_o assure_a help_n let_v we_o then_o take_v this_o buckler_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o all_o fear_n and_o let_v we_o not_o measure_v the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n so_o slender_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v and_o believe_v that_o he_o will_v easy_o overcome_v all_o the_o injury_n bitterness_n and_o contumely_n of_o man_n and_o of_o this_o divine_a and_o invinsible_a operation_n among_o all_o other_o we_o have_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o this_o our_o age_n a_o certain_a young_a man_n who_o live_v godlilie_o here_o with_o we_o in_o this_o city_n man_n when_o he_o be_v take_v at_o dornicke_n be_v condemn_v with_o this_o sentence_n that_o if_o he_o will_v deny_v the_o confession_n of_o his_o faith_n he_o shall_v

who_o will_v give_v i_o this_o grace_n to_o die_v patient_o for_o his_o name_n will_v also_o work_v by_o the_o selfsame_o grace_n that_o i_o may_v abide_v broil_v and_o burn_v we_o ought_v to_o take_v this_o sentence_n not_o as_o pronounce_v of_o a_o mortal_a man_n but_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o god_n can_v so_o well_o confirm_v and_o make_v we_o overcome_v all_o pain_n and_o torment_n as_o to_o move_v we_o to_o take_v any_o other_o kind_n of_o méeke_a death_n in_o good_a part_n yea_o we_o see_v also_o oftentimes_o what_o constancy_n he_o give_v to_o evyll_n and_o wicked_a man_n who_o suffer_v for_o their_o evil_a deed_n and_o wickedness_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o such_o as_o be_v obstinate_a and_o harden_a in_o their_o wickedness_n which_o have_v no_o

and_o sharp_a pain_n and_o as_o we_o see_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o that_o thief_n 23._o who_o turn_v at_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v god_n who_o assi_v with_o so_o

for_o the_o thyrd_o place_n of_o promise_n which_o god_n promise_v to_o his_o martyr_n be_v the_o fruit_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o look_v for_o of_o their_o suffering_n and_o of_o death_n itself_o if_o need_v so_o require_v but_o this_o fruit_n be_v that_o after_o they_o have_v set_v forth_o and_o honour_v god_n name_n and_o edify_v his_o church_n with_o their_o testimony_n they_o may_v be_v
