shall they require thy soule frome the than whose shall those thynges be that thou haste prepared The fole that shuld dye the same nyght reioysed in his fruites and he whose lyfe nowe fayled was carefull for abundance of foode But Christe teacheth a contrarye lesson that he that wol be perfect muste selle a way all that he hath and deale it amonge poore men and make hym a tresure in heuen This man saith Christ foloweth him and the glorie of his passion whiche is expedite and lyght apparayled not wrapped and loded with householde stuffe but leuse and at lybertie his goodes and substāce sent afore to god he also foloweth after To the which that eche of vs may p̄pare him selfe he lerneth vs to pray to knowe after what maner our prayer ought to be For no ryghtous man can lacke his dayely foode sythe it is written The lorde kylleth not the soule of a iuste man with hunger And agayne I haue ben yonger and nowe am olde and haue nat sene the iuste man forsakē nor his sede seke theyr breadde Also the lorde promyseth and saythe Be not ye carefull sayeng what shall we eate or what shall we drinke or wherwith shall we be clothed For those thinges the hethen people seke But your heuenly father knowethe that ye haue neede of those thynges Seke ye fyrst the kyngedome of god and the rightuousnes therof all these thinges shall be ministred vnto you To them that seke the kyngdome and rightuousnes of god al those thynges he promyseth to be ministred For sythen all thynges be goddes he that hath god lacketh nothynge yf he hym selfe be not wantyng to god So for Daniel by the kynges commaundemente inclosed in the lyons denne a dyner from heauen was prepared and he the man of god dydde eate among the hungry wyld beastes that hurte hym not So Helyas in his flyght was fed and in wildernes by rauens and byrdes ministrynge and bryngynge to hym meate he was norished in persecution O detestable crueltie of mans malyce the wylde beastes forbeare to doo hurte the byrdes bryng fode to nourishe men practise wyles and cruellye demeane them selfes ¶ After all this we praye for our synnes sayeng And forgyue vs our trespaces as we forgyue them that trespas agaynst vs. After helpe of fode forgyuenesse of synne is desyred that he that is fedde of god may lyue in god hauynge respecte not only to this present and temporal but to the eternal lyfe to the whiche he may come if his synnes be forgyuen whiche the lorde callith dettes lyke as in his gospelle he sayth I haue forgyuen the all thy dette bycause thou praydest me But howe nedefully howe prouidently and howe holsomly be we admonyshed that we be synners whiche be compelled to praye for our synnes that while forgiuenes is craued of god the mynde maye remember his conscience For to the ende no man shulde stande in his owne conceyte as though he were an innocent and extollynge hym selfe shuld peryshe the more he is instructed taughte that he synneth dayely sythen he is commaunded dayely to praye for his synnes And thus fynallye Iohn̄ in his epistell admonyssheth vs sayeng If we saye that we haue no synne we deceyue our selues and the truth is not in vs. But if we woll confesse oure synnes the lorde is faithfull and iuste whiche wol forgyue vs our sinnes Both these he hath comprised in his epistell that we oughte to praye for our synnes and that we shall opteyne forgyuenes whan we praye And therfore he saith god is faith full to forgyue synnes holdynge the faith of his promise For why he that taught vs to praye for our sinnes hath ꝓmised that fatherly mercy and forgyuenes shulde folowe He hath ioyned and added therto a lawe constraynynge vs with a certayn condition and promise that we shulde so desyre our synnes to be forgiuen vs euen as we forgiue theym that trespas ageynste vs Knowynge well that it canne nat be obteyned that we aske for our sinnes rxcept we wol doo the lyke to them that trespas agaynste vs. And therfore in an other place he saithe With what measure ye mette with the same shall it be mesured to you agayn And he the seruaunt whiche after his lord hadde forgyuen hym all his duetie wolde not forgyue his felowe was trowen into pryson Bicause he wold not gentilly forgiue his felowe he loke that that his lord had courteisly giuen him Whiche thynges Chryste in his preceptes more strongly and with more vigour of his sharpe iudgement fortolde vs And whan ye stande to praye sayth he forgiue yf ye haue ought against any mā that your father also whiche is in heuen may forgiue you your trespasses but if you wol not forgiue no more woll your father that is in heauen forgyue your offences There is no excuse for the at the day of iudgement whanne thou shalt be iudged after thyne owne sentence and that thou hast done that shalt thou suffre For god cōmandeth that such as loue peace concorde to liue in vnitie shuld dwelle in his house and suche as he made vs in our seconde natiuitie suche he woll vs beinge borne againe to perseuer that we whiche haue begunne to be the childrē of god shuld remain in the peace of god and we that haue one spicitie shoulde be of one minde and intent for so god receyueth our sacrifice He commaundethe the stryuer retournyng from the altare fyst to reconcile hym to his brother that with prayers commynge from an harte that loueth peace god may be pacified Our peace and brotherly concorde and the people knytte togyther in the vnitie of the father of the sonne and of the holy goste is a sacrifice hyghly acceptable vnto god For god regarded not the gyftes and offerynges that Abill and Cayne the fyrst offred vp in sacrifice but he behelde theyr hartes that he shulde pleace hym with his gyfte that pleased hym in his hart The peasible and iust Abell innocently offrynge vp his sacrifyce vnto god taught all other whan they offre theyr gyft at the altare so to come with the drede of god with a symple harte with the lawe of iustice with the peace of concord He that was suche in the sacrifice of god was afterwarde worthily made a sacrifyce to god that he fyrste shewyng a profe of martirdome with the glory of his bloud tasted the lordes passion the whiche had in hym bothe iustyce and peace Suche the lorde crowneth such at the day of iudgement shal with the lorde be reuenged But he that is at debate and strife and lyueth not in peace with his bretherne lyke as the blessed apostle holy scripure witnesse though he shuld be slayne for the name of Chryst yet coude he not escape the cryme of dyssention For as it is written who soo euer hateth his brother is a mankyller a man sleer commeth not to the kyngedome of heuen
