gods in authoritie gods in wealth and glorie and in all things of this world liue like gods among men yet all your godhead that is all your honour and authoritie all your pleasures your treasures all your beautie and your brauerie all is but earthie fickle and transitorie and all shall leaue you or you shall leaue all for you shall die 1 For so the voice of the Lord commanded the Prophet to crie That all flesh is grasse and all the godlinesse thereof is but a flower of the field man is but grasse to day fresh and greene to morrow cut downe and withered away man is but a flower of the field to day sweet and goodly to morrow faded and fallen away 2 And S. Iames sayth What is our life but a vapour or a smoake which for a while appeareth and suddenly vanisheth away 3 And the Poet sayth Puluis vmbra sumus i. We be but dust we be but a shadow The wind bloweth the dust is soone puffed away the sunne shineth and the shadow is suddenly carried away Man is but dust soon puffed away man is but a shadow suddenly carried away And it is a common prouerbe Homo bulla i. Man is but a bubble of the water soone vp soone downe Man is but grasse soone withered away but a flower soone faded away but a smoke soone vanishing away but dust soone puffed away but a shadow suddenly carried away but a bubble of the water soone sunk away And though ye be gods then yet must ye die And as the Prophet sayth Your pompe and your pride shall be layd into the graue wormes shall lie vnder you and wormes shall be your couering For all your goodly estate in this world is but like the great glorious image that Nabuchodonosor saw in a dreame whose head was of gold the shoulders of siluer the bellie of brasse the legges of yron but the feet of clay a little stone was cast against the great glorious image and hit him vpon the earthie feet and downe it fell and brake all in peeces Euch so all your golden heads that is al your honours and great glorie all your siluer shoulders that is all your beautie and your brauerie all your brassie bellies that is all your pleasures and worldly treasures all your yron legges that is all your strength youth and health all stands vpon earthie clayie fickle feet and a little stroke of death shall hit vpon their earth and clay and footing fails and downe fals all For all is but like vnto Ionas his guord which for a day for a time for a while makes a goodly shadow and yet but a shadow ouer Ionas his head and suddenly euen in one night the worme of Gods wrath pierceth the root and all your goodly guords wither cleane away And then your pompe and your pride is laid into the graue wormes lie vnder you and wormes be your couering Though Ezechias for a while boast of his treasures his gold his siluer and all his goodly iewels yet he heareth this message from the Lord Man set thine house in an order for thou shalt die Though Balthasar for a while seemes to bath in blisse feasting and banquetting with his nobles and his concubines yet suddenly he seeth the fingers write vpō his wal Mene mene Thecell Vpharsin that is Thy daies are numbred and come to an end Though man for a while seeme neuer so honourable and mightie neuer so rich and welthie neuer so yoong and lustie neuer so beautifull and comely neuer so fortunate and happie yet must he in time set his things in an order for he shall die and the finger of God shall suddenly write vpon his painted wall Mene mene that is Thy daies are numbred and come to an end and thy pompe and thy pride shall be layd into the graue wormes shal lie vnder thee and wormes shall be thy couering 1 Abraham was rich 2 Salomon was wise 3 Sampson was strong Yet are they all dead 1 Iosua was fortunate 2 Ionathas was amiable 3 Absolon was beautifull Yet are they all dead 1 Moses Gods seruaunt 2 Aaron Gods Priest 3 Dauid Gods darling Are all dead 1 The proud Herode 2 The rich Glutton 3 And the poore Lazar Are all dead And you that be gods must also die Veniet enim hora c. sayth S. Chrysostom Doubtlesse the houre will come when thou must needs part from all thy worldly wealth and shalt carrie nought away therof for nought thou broughtest into this world nought shalt thou carrie out Then what shall become of thy beautifull face thy glistering eyes thy pampered body so finely fed so trimly clad Nónne omnia puluis omnia cinis omnia putredo foetor that is Shall not then all be dust all ashes all rottennesse and filthinesse Haec est via vniuersa carnis that is This is the way that all flesh must go I haue sayd Ye are gods But ye shall dye Lyke men And as it is certaine that ye shall die so is it that ye shall die like men and if you shall die like men then shall you rise againe from death So sayth S. Paul As by a man death came to men euen so by a man came the rising againe from death to men For as by Adam all men shall die euen so by Christ all men shall rise againe from death Christ is the resurrection and the life whosoeuer beleeueth in him shall neuer die Therefore the Prophet Dauid sayd of himselfe I shall not die but liue and shall see the goodnesse of God in the land of the liuing And good Iob sayd of himselfe I know that my Redeemer liueth and that I shall rise againe in the last day and shall be couered againe with my skin and shall see God in my flesh and I my selfe shall behold him not with other but with these same eies And our sauiour Christ sayth of the dead Damosell She is not dead but sleepeth And the scriptures of God do often testifie of the dead that they sleepe for that euen as they that sleepe do wake and rise againe euen so the dead shall rise againe As many as die in Christ shall be partakers of the resurrection vnto saluation and as many as die without Christ shall rise againe to condemnation But what need I stand to prooue the resurrection of the dead The sect of the Sadduces that beleeue no resurrection of the dead neither angell nor spirit is sufficiently confuted by our sauiour Christ in the gospell And that godlesse sort that say Our life is but a breath in our nosthrils and our bodies shall returne to dust and ashes and our soules shall vanish into the softaire are alreadie condemned by the wise man To spend speech then in that point it needs not or it boots not Therefore to conclude I haue sayd Ye are gods but ye shall die like men and your bodies
