that day from earthelye workes and worldelye inticementes we may onely serue and honour God geuyng vnto this daye for the hope of oureresurrection the whiche we haue in it all honoure and reuerence for as our lorde Jesus Chryst and Sauioure hath rysyn from death ▪ soo we doo hope that at the latter day we shal ryse It aperyth lyke wyse in holy scrypture that thys day is solempne For it is the fyrst day of the worlde For vpon this day the elementes of the world were formid made and in it the Aungells were ●●●atyd and the selfe same day ▪ Chryst rose from deathe and in it the holye spiryte of God dyscended from heauen vpon the dyscypies and euen vpon thys day manna was geuyn from heauen in wildernes with these documents such other tokens that Sonday is verye excellente and noble and therefore the holy doctours of the churche haue decrede that all the glory of the Jewes sabote shuld be translate into the Sōday that we in veritie and truth may celebrate that they celebratyd in figure for then shal be our true rest when the resurrection shal be fully endyd and our remuneration and rewarde bothe in bodye and soule made perfytte Let vs therefore obserue the Sondaye my brethren and sanctifye it as it was commaunded to our elders of the sabbot day the geuer and maker of the lawe sayinge vnto them From the euyntyde vntyll y● nyxte euyn ye shall celebrate your Sabbotes Let vs therfore take hede that our reste be not in vayne but that we from Saterday at euyn vntyll Sonday at euyn beyng sequestrated frō all rusticail and other busynesses geue our selues oneli to the seruice and honour of God for so doinge we do iustly sanctify the Sabbot day of our lorde sayng He shall doo no maner of worke vpon the Sabbote daye Therfore let euery mā yf it be possyble come vnto Euynsonge and Mattyns and praye there in the assemble and congregation of the church vnto god for hys sinnes And yf he cannot so do lette him praye at home not neglectynge to pay his vow vnto GOD and to render the taske or pensy●n of hys seruice Lette no man vpon the Sondaye seperate hymselfe from the holy celebration of masses nor no man all other commyng to the churche shall tarye ydle at home nor occupye him selfe in huntinge nor giue him selfe to de ue●●she occupatiōs and workes wandringe aboute the teldes and wods laughing and halowing neuer sorowing nor praying from the botome of his harte vnto God yea and yet further the whithe thinge is most detestable Some there be that coming do not entre into the church they ge●● not them selues to prayer they tary not in silēce the holy celebratiō of masses but when the holy lessous ar a readyng within they with oute are pleadyng theyr maters or study to defend them selfes with diuers false accusations or els they giue them selfes to dyce or to other vnprofitable pastimes sports Some times truelye which is worse they are so kyndlyd and chafyd with excessiue anger that they braule most bit terlye and runne vpon eche other with swords gleues and oftē times commit murder And this principallye is done by those the which beyng full of enuy and hatred the Deuyll beyng their gide go vnto the Churche not to helpe thē selues but to hurte other And yf such mē be murdered there or preuentyd by soden deth whether go they else but with hym into eternal torment whose fotesteps they ensude and folowed O my brethren doo not these thinges do not deceaue your selues gyue no place to the Deuyl in youre assebles but rather prepare make your selues a dwellynge place for Chryste Therefore gyue not your selfs without to fables but within the Churche to psalmodi and prayers braul not one with a nother in the churche but be quiet There are many and specially women the which do so chatter and in such wyse do braule in the churche that they nether here the diuine lessons them sefes neyther suffer other to heare them Shuld there be such meting with such an order in gods house or is it decent or comelye so to assyste and stand in the sight of god and of his holy angells And yet I wyl further complaine me with you y● which thinge is generallye to be seruid and morenyd For why there are certayne and specyallye the greate estates of thys world the whyche commynge vnto the churche are not deuoute and readye to laude prayse God but to constrayne the preste to abreuiat hys masse and to synge as it shal please them nor it is not lewefull for hym thrughe theyr glotonye and couitusnes to folowe the ecclesiasticall fashyon maner soo that one lytle moment of the daye shoulde be deputed and suffyse to the seruice of God and the reste of the daye and the nyght to theyr voluptuousnes plesurs Do not these things my wel belouid brethren nor consent not to those that soo doo For they peryshe not onelye that doo these thinges but they also that consente vnto the doers of the same Therfore beware before all thing that ye nether pleade nor iudge no maters vpon the festiual and holye dayes but at other tymes and with iustice And that ye through receuing and takynge of gyftes subuerte not iust indgement for accordyng to y● sentence and mynd of our lord with what iudgment ye iudge other ye shal be iudged Let no man drink hym selfe dronken for a dronkerd is most like vnto a mad man drynke so among men that ye blurre not youre names oute of heauen There are many the which thing is very euyl that not onely inebriate and mystemper them selues but also compell and adiure other to drynke more then is expediente where of there ariseth very oftē amōg them braulyng and murder Do ye not waye my brethrē whose wyll and mynde these men doo ensue and folowe Drunkerds saith the apostle and murderers shall not possesse the kingdome of GOD. I beseche you miwelbeloued fathers mothers brethren systers in the name of oure Lorde Jesus Chryst and by hys kyngdome and iudgmēt that is to come that ye wyth drawe youre selues from all mē that walke liue inordinately and that ye walke worthely in the vocation ye are called vnto nor that ye neglecte not youre honoure nor lytle esteme your redemption which is in Jesu Christ Year called the sōnes of god because the verye sonne of god deliuered you giue your stodye and dyligence wyth good manersto please so gret a parent that he deliuer you not as most wicked seruants to perpetuall payne but lede and conducte you as most de rest chyldren vnto the supernall cuntrye to be the heires of Jesu christ his sonne with whome he lyueth and reigneth god in the vnitie of the holy goste worlde withoute ●n●e Amen ¶ Of a Chrysten name And what he ought to do and obserue that bereth a christen name ii Ser.
