ryght For Chryst at the last iudgemēt wyll not aske the howe moche thou haste fasted prayed gone pylgrymages or done this or that for thy selfe But howe moch good thou hast done to other / yea that were poore And without doubt there be mo poore mē oppressyd with synne / spirytuall pouertie Spirytuall pouertie pryson and nede than with bodely trouble And therfore take hede to thy selfe / for oure chosen workꝭ and peculyar purposes do bryng vs aboue our selfes / so that we onely seke for our owne profyte and welthe But the cōmaundementes of god / compelle vs to oure neyghbours / to serue for theyr welthe onely / by the example of Christ vpon the crosse prayenge not onely for hym selfe / but for vs / sayenge father forgyue thē / for they wot not what they do So must we one praye for another Of this euery man maye knowe howe froward and wycked this people is / which backebyte iudge rasshelye / do none other but dyspyse thē for whome they ought to praye / in the whiche vyce no man stycketh so deapelye / as they that wery theym selfes in these peculyer and chosen workes / whiche appere moche shynynge and beautefull before men for theyr goodlye and outwarde lyfe with theyr manyfolde good workes The saboth day AFter the spirytuall sence / this cōmaūdement hath a more excellente worke / cōtaynynge the hole nature of man Saboth in Hebrewe signyfyeth / holye rest and quyetnesse Here therfore must be knowen / that the Saboth day after the Hebrewe tonge / sygnifyeth holy or reste / bycause that god rested and ceased the seuenth day from all his workes / whiche he create the syxe dayes before Genesis the secōde chapytre Therfore god cōmaūded that we shulde sanctifye the saboth daye / and cease from all our workes / whiche we worke the syxe dayes This saboth daye is nowe chaūged into the sonday / and thother dayes be called prophane or workedayes But the sonday is called the day of quyetnesse or rest or the holy daye And I wolde to god that there were no holy day ī chrystendome but the sonday / so that the feastꝭ of our lady and al other sayntes were chaunged into the sonday / for so shulde moche vyce be exchued lefte throughe the workedayes / and the countreys shulde not be so oppressed with penury But nowe we be so laden with the multytude of holydayes / that it is dystruccyon / bothe of soules body and goodes / of the whiche many thyngꝭ myght be spoken Furthermore this rest from workes is two maner of wayes / There ben two maner of sabotes bodely and spirytually / so this commaūdement is here vnderstāde / two maner of wayes / for the bodely saboth day or rest / The bodely saboth is of the whiche / we haue spoken before / as the ceasynge fro our crafte or labour / in tyme conuenyent to se masse / to here the worde of god / and to praye all togyther for the cōmon welthe of all men / the whiche bodely saboth day is not cōmaunded to chrysten men / in so moche that the apostell to the Collossyans the .ii. chapytre sayeth Lette no man therfore trouble your conscyence about meate or drynke / or for an pease of an holy day as the holy daye of the newe moone / or of the sabothe daye / whiche are nothynge but shadowes of thynges to come / but the body is Chryste Nowe verely the truthe is fulfylled / so that euery daye is holy daye / as Esaye sayeth the. 6.6 chapytre And the moneth shall be of the moneth / and the saboth daye / of the saboth daye And agayne all dayes be prophane and workedayes But yet this saboth daye is necessarye and ordayned of chrysten people / for the prophane and lay men / for craftes men / labourers and hyred seruaūtes / that they may come togyther / to here the worde of god / for as we se / the preestes and monkes dayly sacryfyce and saye masse / pray euery houre / and exercyse them selfe in the worde of god / by studyeng readyng or hearyng For the which cause they be without labour in comparyson to other / theyr rentes pensyons increased and prouyded for / hauynge dayly holydayes dayly doynge the workꝭ of the holydayes / without all worke dayes / to whome all dayes be indyfferent So yf we were all perfyte knewe the gospell / we myght dayly ayther worke labour / or yf we wolde rest and kepe holy day yf we myghte / for the saboth daye is not nowe necessary nor cōmaunded / but to lerne the worde of god to praye The spirytuall saboth which ought to be halowed euery day THe spirytuall holy day whiche god hathe specyally cōmaunded in this cōmaūdement is / that not onely we labour not and leaue our occupacyon / but moche more that we suffre god onely to worke in vs / workynge nothyng of our owne in all our power / but howe shulde that be Thus it is man corrupte with synne / hathe moche euyll loue desyre to al synnes / as the scrypture sayth Genesis the .viii. cha All the thoughte of mānes herte is gyuen to euyll at all tymes / that is to pryde dysobedyence The spirytuall saboth is to reste ceasse frō all the workes of our olde Adam to mortefye thapetytes of our corrupte nature and to put on Iesu Chryst and all his workes yre hate couetyse vnclennes And to be short in all thynges that he dothe or leaueth vndone He seaketh more his owne profyte and pleasure / than the glorye of god or his neyghbour / so that al his workes all his thoughtes all his lyfe / is yll and not godly Therfore to the ende that god may worke in hym / all these vyces malyces muste be dystroyed and plucked vp / that here may sprynge the rest and ceasyng of our workes thoughtes wordes lyfe that hereafter not we / but as saynt Paule sayeth to the Galatianes the fyrst chapytre Chryst may worke lyue and speake in vs. But this is not done with pleasaūt dayes / but we must do vyolence to nature and suffre / the vyolence be done vnto it / for here begynneth the batayle betwene the spiryte the flesshe / here the spiryte wrasteleth agaynste yre / voluptuousnes pryde / the flesshe wyllynge to flowe full of pleasure honoure ydelnes reste / of the whiche speaketh saynt Paule to the Galatianes / the .v. chapy They that be of Chryst hathe crucyfyed theyr flesshe with appetytes and lustes Out of this saboth therfore folowe good workes / to faste to watche to pray to labour / of the which many men speake wryte so moch yet they knowe nother the begynnnge nor ende of them The spirytuall saboth is kepte two maner of wayes And therfore at this tyme we shall speake of theym This holy day whiche god worketh in vs whan oure workes
