receiue maintenaunce at the handes of them to whome hee preacheth the gospell A Souldier if hee be not shod but barefooted shall quickly bee surbated and vnable to trauaile A Christian not hauing the gospell of peace cannot endure As it is an absurdity for a souldier to put himself into the field naked without armour and Weapon aswell to strike the enimy as to defend him selfe so also is it always necessary for a Christian to be armed at all points especially to haue the sheelde of Fayth the helmet of saluation the swoord of the spirit which is the worde A souldier pressed foorth to the warres entangleth not him self in other ciuill affayres Wherby Ministers which be Gods souldiers learne that they should keepe them selues free from all such thinges as might hinder them from their calling Finally souldiers should learne to leaue spoyling pilling and polling and to content them selues with their owne wages Sonne BY the two Sonnes whereof one promised to doe his fathers will and yet did it not the other refused to doe it and yet after repented him of his stubbornnesse and did it We learne that there is greater hope of the conuersion of open and notorious sinners then of close hipocrites who vnder a fayre shew deceiue them selues and others Sower THe yearely necessity of sowing whereby the sustenaunce of man is euerye yeare renued doth well shewe vnto vs the necessitie of preaching without the which it is as vnlikely for our soules to be preserued to life euerlasting as it is for our bodyes in this lyfe to continue without any ordinary prouision Standarde AS good souldiers to their Standarde so all faithfull are appoynted to flock to Christ. Starres SO bright and so glorious as one starre appeareth aboue an other so much shall the state and condition of our bodyes at their resurrection excell the state and condition that they are now in during this time of mortallitie False Prophets for their giftes of knowledge and vtteraunce thinke them selues and are thought of others to shine bright like starres but yet as shipmen can not guide them selues by wandering starres without danger of shipwracke their course is so vncertaine and wandering so no Christian can without assured destruction make those Prophets his guides for that they stay not them selues vpon the onely and infallible rule of truth Southsayers WHen we be prouoked or counselled to seeke to southsayers or fortune-tellers then let vs remember that God will destroye the tokens of the southsayers and make them that coniecture fooles He will also destroy them sodainly and vnawares who trust and thinke to be foretold of all thinges by their southsayers Therefore let all such as to take vppon them to deceiue others be put to death so shall their bloud be vppon their owne heades Stumbling WHen we see men through rechlesnesse and for want of heed taking stumble and fall at that which if they had giuen but a little heede they might easely haue auoyded Then are we to remember that euen Christ him selfe to some is a stone to stumble at but happy are they that stumble not at him Howbeit we must carefully take heed that we in vsing of our liberty giue none occasion of offence of stumbling or falling vnto our weake brother Our liberty standeth in vsing or refusing at our owne choyce outward thinges left free vnto vs by God and the Magistrates put in authority vnder him for the things of this life are subiect to their commandements Stewarde THe vniust steward making his maisters debtors his friendes which will be liberall imparting to them his maisters goods teacheth vs by being liberall of that wherwith God blesseth vs to the poore to prouide for life after this because God doth accept as don vnto him y t which is bestowed vpon them The sight also of Stewards or factors disposing of their masters goods to his gaine should cause vs that be Ministers to remember that the secreates of God and misteries that concerne the saluation of man are committed to vs to dispose and that God doth looke for it at our handes that we shoulde be diligent and faithfull disposers of them Storke THe Storke and other foules know their appoynted times of their comming and withdrawing them selues but they which beare the name of God vpon earth and professe to be his people vnderstande nor know not his iudgements Straungers AS straungers and trauailers abstaine in the Countries where they are straungers from many thinges which woulde but hinder them in their voyage so we in our passage through this world shoulde abstaine from the lustes of the fleshe which hinder our soules from life euerlasting Stubble AStrologers star-gasers Prognosticators shall be as stubble the fier shal burne them they shall not be able to deliuer their owne liues from the power of the flame As stubble also shal God make them which persecute his people and shall raise a flame amongst the persecuted to consume their persecutors Stubble straw and haye and such like quickly consumed by fier doe admonishe vs to looke to our waies that our works which we suppose to be good and to be workes of obedience bee not such as tourne to ashes so soone as the fier of Gods examination by his word toucheth them Stones WHen we see the chiefe corner stones of great and huge buildinges to beare the waight of the whole building Then we are to remember that the whole congregation of the faithfull is Gods house or building whereof euery one of vs are partes or liuely stones and that the people Circumcised vncircumcised that beleeue are the two walles which in Christ were coupled vpon him as vpon the head corner stone doe rest and are vpholden When we see precious stones then are we to comfort our selues that though we now with the residue of the Church are afflicted Yet as these stones exceed the common sort of stones in estimation and price so we also shall exceed in glory The verye stones in the walles shall crye woe to him that buildeth with bloud and erecteth and setteth vp with iniquity Stonie ground which in the spring first waxeth greene and of all the rest seemeth forwardest and after when the weather waxeth whotte burneth and seareth awaye representeth vnto vs the hastie forwardnesse of many who at the first in dayes of peace seeme to receiue the word ioyfully and afterwardes in time of persecution by their speedy shrincking shewe that it had neuer good and setled root in them Subiection LEt euery soule be subiect to the higher power for there is no power but of God and the powers that be are ordayned of God whosoeuer therefore resisteth power resisteth the ordinance of God Amongest the powers the king is the highest They are appoynted of God for the benefit and wealth of their subiects to suppresse euill
