hee had exhorted the faythfull to saue that which was lost to the intent that hee may make them better vnderstand that all their indeuours and laboures are in vayne except God bee the worker hee sheweth that they cannot otherwise bee saued but by the powre of God Howbeit in this later member the greeke worde is otherwyse namely 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which signifieth a garding or keeping So hee should haue a respect to the first member when hee saith keepe your selues It followeth And to present you faultlesse before the presence of his glory A. Paule saith Aug. Mar. that God hath chosen vs before the foundation of the world was layde that wee should bee holy and without blame before him through loue Ephesians the firste Chapter verse the fourth But wee can neuer bee founde to bee such vnlesse God him selfe doe bring it to passe in vs. It followeth Wyth ioy I. Heere the faythfull ought to bee of good courage to perseuere in well doing to the ende L. Pelycane As if hee should say you haue great cause to reioyce and to bee glad for the comming of our Lord Iesus Chryste when other that seeme heere to liue deliciously in sinne for a season shall mourne lament True ioy the ioy that euery good christian man ought to haue hath alwayes faith annexed and ioyned with it according to this saying of Peter whom yee haue not seene meaninge Chryste and yet loue him in whom euen nowe though yee see him not yet doe you beleeue him reioyce with ioy vnspeakable and glorious receauing the ende of your faith euen the saluation of your soules The first epistle of Peter the first Chapter verse the eyght Here the godly beginne their ioy but when Chryste commeth to his last iudgement then it shall bee fully perfected and completed 25. To God our sauiour which only is wise The texte bee glory and maiesty and dominion and powre nowe and euer Amen To God our sauiour which onely is wise C. All creatures doe giue all the prayse and glory of all wysedome knowledge Caluin as most proper and peculiar to God alone see the sixeteenth chapter to the Romaines verse twenti-seuenth Aug Mar. To God our sauiour A. Wee haue declared before in the twenty-fourth verse and proued out of the scriptures that God alone is both the author and finisher of our saluation It followeth Bee glory maiesty and dominion and powre now and euer As wisedome so also to God only hee ascribeth all glory according to S. Paule saying in the first to Tymothe the first Chapter the 17. verse To the king euerlasting immortall inuisible vnto God onely wise bee honor and glory for euer and euer Amen And Dauid in his 104. Psalme the 31. verse The gloryous maiesty of the Lorde shall indure for euer the Lord shall reioyce in his workes It followeth Now and for euer Although the name of God bee continually prophaned and blasphemed of the wicked yet the godly doe euen now celebrate and set forth the glory and maiesty of the same which is a sacrifice most acceptable vnto our God as hee him selfe witnesseth by his prophet Dauid in the 50. Psalme the 23. verse Who so offereth mee thankes praise hee honoreth mee and to him that ordereth his conuersation a ryghte him wyll I shewe the saluation of God This word Amen as it is vsuall and familiar both with Christe our Sauiour him selfe with his Apostles with all the holy men of God so it confirmeth signeth and sealeth vp as it were whatsoeuer thinges haue beene wrytten or spoken by the saintes and holy men of God inspired wyth the holy-ghost so that wee neede not doubt of their faith truth and verity but cleaue contynually and sticke fast vnto them The which thinge that wee may doe God the Father of heauen graūt vnto vs who hath vouchedsafed to call vs into the fellowship of his sonne Iesus Christe B.

see certaine so miserable blinde obstinate that they haue no care at all of their soule health A. Marlo A. Charity surely coueteth to saue all and therefore cannot choose but bee sory for the destruction of myserable men Which thing wee may behold in men endued with great powre and holinesse For Samuell not without great cōpassion lamented the death of Saule 1. kings 15. verse 35. and 16. verse 1. Ieremy also most bitterly bewayled the destruction of Hiërusalem Chap. 9. verse 1. Paule wryteth to the Philippians after this sorte Many walke of whom I haue tolde you often c. Chap. 3. verse 18.19 and in the 2. Corinthians 12. verse 20. I feare mee least when I come I shall not finde you such as I woulde c. Our Sauiour Christe him selfe knowing perfectly the maliciousnesse and ingratitude of the wicked Iewes drawing now neare towards Hiërusalem could not wthold him selfe frō teares Luke 19. verse 41. It followeth Seperating or putting difference B. Some doe translate it When yee shall bee iudged Bulling● But whereas the participle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 is doubtfull the actiue signification doth better agree with the texte If wee bee willing to help them that goe astray the summe is this wee must consider euery mans nature such as are meeke gentle tractable must bee gently intreated to be brought into the right way as worthy of mercy fauor But if any man bee obstinate or stubburne hee must bee sharply corrected A. Some Aug. Ma● not vnfitly haue tourned this participle 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hauing offended 23. And other some saue with feare The text● pulling them out of the fire hating euen the garment spotted by the flesh And other saue with feare B. As if he should say Bulling it is not enough for vs to lament bewaile the miserable estate of wicked men vnlesse also wee giue all dilygence and earnest care to winne them to Chryste by all meanes possible in whom there is some hope especially settinge before them the threatenings of Gods iudgements ●luin C. But because to much seuerity and sharpnesse in correcting and rebukinge most commonly is odyous Iude doth excuse it by necessity because otherwise they cannot bee saued vnlesse they doe willingly and of their owne accorde follow that which is good It followeth Pulling them out of the fyre M. Hee vseth an elegant metaphor of fyre ● Luth. for if wee bee desirous to saue a man that is lyke to bee burned wee doe not shewe him our finger or nicely reache him our hande but vyolently plucke him out with all speede that may bee to saue his lyfe so must they bee handled that haue no care of their soule that will not come to God of their owne accorde vnlesse they bee drawne with mighte and mayne Here the manner of speakinge is to bee noted in this worde sauing when it is applyed vnto men not that the seruantes of God are authors but mynisters of saluation A. Marlo A. So and in this sence these places of scripture must bee taken Take heede vnto thy selfe and vnto doctryne and continue therein For in so doing thou shalt both saue thy selfe and them that heare thee Tymothe 1. the fourth Chapter verse the sixteenth Likewise Saint Iames in the fifte Chapter of his epistle the 19. and 20. verses Brethren sayth hee if any of you doe erre from the truth and another conuert him let the same knowe that hee which conuerteth the sinner from going astray out of the way shall saue a soule from death and shall hyde the multitude of sinnes It followeth Hating euen the garment spotted wyth the flesh C. This place Caluin which otherwise would seeme obscure and darke will bee easie enough if the metophor bee well and plainely declared Hee would haue therefore the faythfull not onely to bee free from all vice and corruption but also hee doth admonysh them to auoyde whatsoeuer is accessary thereunto least any infection shoulde take holde of them As if wee should haue an occasion to speake of dishonesty wee will say that all inticementes and prouocations to lustfull desires must bee taken away This will appeare more clearely if the rest of the sentence bee supplied that is that wee must hate not onely the flesh but euen the very garment it selfe spotted by the flesh least wee bee defiled by the touching thereof Much lesse doth hee winke at wickednesse but willeth rather that all occasions and accessories thereunto as they call it may bee cleane cut of ●ulling B. Some will haue this to bee the sence and meaning I would not haue you to keepe too much familiarity wyth the wycked but to shunne their company rather not hating the person but the wickednesse of the man For it commeth oftentimes to passe that when they thinke them selues false enough and in good case sodainely through their own weakenesse and imbecillity they haue perished together wyth them to whom they haue beene helpfull For the good oftentimes are ouercome of the badde But the first exposition is more true The texte 24. Vnto him that is able to keepe you free from sinne and to present you faultlesse before the presence of hys glorye wyth ioye Bulling Vnto him that is able to keepe you B. This is the conclusion of the epistle gratulatory wherein the Apostle Iude the seruant of Christe sheweth who it is that keepeth vs from sinne from whence cōmeth all our powre strength in perseuering in well doinge from whence eternall lyfe euen from God doe all these things come Caluin C. for all our studies and exhortations are not auayleable except the effect thereof come from the powre of God A. Marl● A which Paule in these wordes doth euidently declare in his second epistle to the Corinthians the third Chapter verse the fourth Such trust haue we through Christe to God warde not that wee are sufficient of our selues to thinke any thing as of our selues but our sufficiencie is of God And in the second Chap. of the epistle to the Philippians verse thirteenth It is God which worketh in you both to will and to doe of good will C. Some bookes haue them Caluin if wee reade it so then the meaning is It is your partes and duety to indeuoure that they may bee saued but it belongeth to God only to performe A. Marlo A for so speaketh hee by the Prophet I euen I saith hee am the Lord and beside mee there is no other sauiour Esay 43. verse the eleuenth and 45. verse the one and twentith Agayne I am the Lord thy God which brought thee out of the lande of Aegypt and thou shalte knowe no God but mee onely neyther is there any sauyour besides mee Osee thirteenth verse the fourth Caluin C. Notwithstanding to reade you and not them doth better agree with the text for the alluding to the sentence that went a litle before For after that
