Howe be it the deuyll our enemye ceasseth not to perswade men to thynke that this howse of god is onely frequented and occupyed of and by them that be good For God as he wolde them to thynke wyll suffer no vnthryftes to be in his house and so consequently he wolde make vs to forgette and to be ignoraunt of this our fathers house bycause we do not knowe in what parte of the worlde that such good men do dwell 2. Tim. 2. But good people saynt Paule teacheth the contrary to this sayinge that it is a greate house and that there be in it vessels both of honour and dishonour And our sauiour sayth Math. 13. that it is lyke to a net that catcheth both good fyshes and bad the which shal be suffered to continue together vntyl it shal be giuen in commaundement to the Angels at the ende of the worlde to deuyde the euyll from the good so that this doubt aboue mencioned is nothynge els but a craft and a sleyght of our gostly enemie the deuyll vsed to the intent and purpose that we myght as I sayde forget to knowe and deserne our fathers house But that the deuyll lyethe and that it is knowen Marke thou good Chrysten man and woman that Chryst our master sayth it to be buylded as a citie vpon a hyll that can not be hyd and he biddeth that for the redresse of such matters as be betwyxt thy neyghbour the Math. 5. that thou shuldest apeale to the church Math. 18. there thou must in peyne to be cast clene out of his fauour obey and abyde the determinacion of the Church the which were altogether spoken in vaine yf the Church coulde not be knowen Wherfore by this that I haue sayde ye may se most dearely beloued first the danger that we be in and howe that to auoyde the same we must kepe vs in the house of our father which is the Churche Ye se howe craftely the deuyll goeth about with his false and mischeuous flattery to hyde the house from you that you shulde not knowe it howe be it yf the deuyll shulde set vp a thousande houses as he hath sette vp manye alredy to resemble so our fathers house that we shulde not be able to deserne it from theÌ„ yet shal I shewe you howe and in what maner ye shal be able at al times to deserne our fathers house and his insunder Fyrste ye shall vnderstande that the house of our father was fyrst built that the deuils buildinges be but counterfeite and forged to some similitude of our fathers house wherfore as the thynge muste be before the similitude of the thynge so must the house of our father be of more antique and auncient buyldynge then the deuyls house or houses that be made to some simylitude or shape of our fathers houses and therefore sayth Tertuliam ageynst the heretickes that be the deuyls wryghtes to buylde his house TertuliaÌ„ de pÌ„scripti That muste be the trewth which was fyrst and that muste be false whiche is the latter And thus dyd Dauyd saye that he knewe which was the faythfull people of God and what religion did please God Psal 77. Deu. 5. For he hath harde it with his eares and that his fathers tolde hym Also in his booke of the lawe god biddeth vs to aske of our fathers that they shall tell vs and our auncytoures and that they shall shewe to vs gods true religion Iohn 10. Also our sauyour in the gospell callynge vs by the name of shepe sayth that his shepe doth knowe the voyce of theyr pastor or shepard and that they flee and run away when they here a stranger which is as much to saye that the trewe Chrysten men must kepe and reteyne such doctrine as they haue byn accustomed vnto and that they muste eschewe the doctrine that is newely and lately spronge Ephe. 4. Also saynt Paule byddeth vs that we do not as chyldren that are led away with euery blast of doctrine Augustine contra fuÌ„damentuÌ„ macheoruÌ„ C. 5. Moreouer then this saynt Augustine sayth that he wold not beleue the gospell but that the autoritie of the Church dyd moue hym and in very dede by good reason For howe shuld we otherwyse be able to saye that this is saynte Iohns

or fortune For there is no such fortune or ward in dede but all thynges are ruled and disposed by god in so much that Chryst our sauyour sayth Math. 10. that not one sparrowe falleth into the fowlers net but by Gods appoyntment much more then be the diuersities of mans callynge of God Luke 13. Ageyne when the tower of Silo fell and slewe certeyne persons it myght haue bin thought of some that the tower fell by chaunce and that it was those mens desteny there to be at the fall But Chryste saythe playnely that it was done purposely of God to giue occasion to other sinners to beware lest god by one meane or other myght destroy them also lyke as he did those by the fal of the tower Further where some do attribute the lucke that men haue to the starres that men be borne vnder god teacheth the contrary by the prophesye of the holy woman Anna and sayth 1. Regst 2. Dominus pauperum facit et ditat humiliat et subleuat de stercore erigens paupetem vt solium gloriae teneat that is the Lord maketh poore maketh rych he humbleth exalteth raysyng the poore out of the myre that he might haue the seate of glory Also in his prophet Ieremie he sayth Iuxta vias gentium nolite discere Iere. 20. et a signis cae li nolite metuere quae timent gentes quia leges populorum vanae sunt that is Lerne not ye to do after the fashyons of the gentyles neyther stande ye in awe to the signes of the firmament as the Gentyles do for the lawes of the entyles be vayne Thus may ye then se good people howe that all our plasynge be we ryche or poore master or seruauntes offycers or pryuate persons be of God For neyther is there sparrowe caught nor the fyshe gathered into the net neyther the stones do fall but by gods ordinaunce yea and concernynge such as be placed in authoritie though they be euyl yet be they of God Iob. 34. For the holye Patryarche Job saythe Propter peccata populi facit regnarey pocritam that is for the sinnes of the people he hath made the Ipocrite to rule And as ye knowe there were neuer worse rulers then were the Scrybes and the Phariseis that put our sauyour vnto death and yet dyd Chryste commaunde that they shulde be obeyed bicause they sate in Moyses sete Math. 23. But what other I pray you was it to sitte in Moyses seate but that the same God that had fyrste placed Moyses for his tyme placed the Pharyses for theyr time and therfore were they to be obeyed for their rowmes though theyr persons were very bad and wicked And accordynge to the same sayth saynte Paule that all powers be of god and that who so euer resisteth the power Roma 13. 1. Petri. 3. resisteth god Yea saynte Peter wylleth not onely vs to obey them but that we shulde suffer them though they beinge euyll shulde do vs wronge But nowe theÌ„ seinge that fortune nor chaunce hath no place in dede but were fayned of such as knowe not god and seinge also that the scripture teachethe that al powers be of god it foloweth that we coÌ„sider what powers they be and wherein theyr auctoritie consisteth for as it is necessary to knowe such bycause we must in peyne of gods displeasure and wrath obey them so muste we knowe wherein theyr auctoritie lyeth lest that we obey them other wyse then we shulde or ought for some tyme we do se that obedience is praised as Christ coÌ„mendeth it vnto vs when he hym selfe payed tribute and badde that we shulde gyue to Cesar that which was Cesars Math. 7. Math. 22 Actes 4. and to God that that was Goddes and the Apostles were commended in the Actes for disobeyinge the rulers when they wolde haue had them to deny Chryste Thus it is necessary for al men to knowe where howe whoÌ„ when they shulde obey or not obey The which thing that ye may the better perceaue cal I besech you to your remembraunce the fyrst creation of man how that the scripture sayth Gene. 1. that god fashioned man vppon the earth by the which is vnderstande that mans body the which man hath common to hym with the beastes who be lykewyse made of the earth and feadeth vppon the earth and earthly thynges as man doth yet saythe the scripture god did inspyre into man the sprite of life by the which is ment that mans sowle came frome god hym selfe and is of substaunce and nature lyke vnto the Angels Wherfore as these partes be of dyuers natures and condicions and they both greatly nedeth to be well guyded and ordered so hath almyghty god appoynted for that purpose both temporall and spirituall rulers temporall rulers by whose gouernaunce our bodyes and temporall goodes apperteyninge vnto vs ought to be ordered and we in all those thynges obedient vnto them yea though it do appere to our losse and hynderaunce accordynge to the sayinge of saynt Peter who doth say Obedite omni humanae creature propter deum 1. Petri. 2 sine regi quasi precellenti sine duci tanquaÌ„ abeo misso c. That is sayth saynt Peter Obey you to all humayne creature for gods sake whether it be a kinge as a person preexcellente or els to a capitayne as sent from hym And spirituall rulers by whose councelles and appointmentes we ought to be ordered in matters that do touch our sowles health And here vppon sayth saynt Paule Hebre. 13. obey ye your rulers and be ordered by them for they do watch as men that muste gyue an account for your sowles Here ye se that he named them spirituall rulers bycause they be charged with oure sowles and commaundeth that we shulde be also obedient For howe can they account for vs yf we wyl not be ordered by them And the same saynte Paule also sheweth howe and in what sort god doth appoint them sayinge 1. Cor. 12. Roma 12. that as the body is one and yet hathe dyuers meÌ„bers apoynted for dyuers vses so hath the mystycal body of Chryst which is the Churche Se here I pray you good Chrysten people howe the blessed Apoitle of Chryst coÌ„mendeth to vs the holy sacrament of orders he compareth the Churche to a body in the creation of which body who knoweth not that at the fyrst there is no distinction of members as we se dayely in a negge that is to be hatched into a chycken At the fyrst there is no becke there is no foote there is no wynge no eye nor tounge neyther is it possible for any but for hym that maketh the chicken to say that this part of the egge shal be such a member and this such but god taketh one parte of the egge maketh it an eye and giueth it power onely to se an other a foote and giueth it habilitie to go and so forth and no diuersitie is
