sum resurrectio vita That is I am sayth he the veray cause of raysynge of the body And I am also the veraye cause of lyfe vnto the soule As who saye tho the rysynge of the body be delayed for a season the soule neuertheles shal for the meane tyme haue a pleasaunt a swete lyfe A lyfe full of comfort a lyfe full of ioye pleasure a lyfe voyde of all sorow encombraūce a lyf not lyke vnto the lyfe of this wretched world whiche is alway entermelled with moche bitternes eyther with sorowes eyther with dredes or elles with perylles In hoc mundo non dolere nō timere non periclitari impossibile est Sayeth saynt Austyn It is impossyble to lyue in this worlde not to sorowe not to drede not to be in peryl This same noble prynces yf she had contynued in this worlde she sholde dayly haue herde sene mater cause of sorowe as well in herselfe as in her frendes parauenture Her body dayly sholde haue waxen more unweldy her syght sholde haue be derked and her herynge sholde haue dulled more and more her legges sholde haue faylled her by by And all the other partyes of her body waxe more crased euery daye whiche thynges sholde haue ben mater to her of grete dyscomforte And albeit these thinges had not fallen vnto her forth with yet she sholde haue lyued alwaye in a drede and a fere of them Dare I say of her she neuer yet was in that prosperyte but the gretter it was the more alwaye she dredde the aduersyte For whan the kynge her sone was crowned in all that grete tryumphe glorye she wepte meruayllously And lyke wyse at the grete tryumphe of the maryage of prynce Arthur And at the laste coronacyon wherin she had full grete Joye she let not to saye that some aduersyte wolde folowe so that eyther she was in sorowe by reason of the present aduersytes or elles whan she was in prosperite she was in drede of the aduersyte for to come I passe ouer the perylles daungers innumerable whiche dayly hourly myght haue happed vnto her wherof this lyf is ful And therfore saynt Gregory sayth Uita hec terrena eterne vite comparata mors est potius di cenda quam vita And for that cause who that ones hathe tasted the pleasures of that lyfe this is vnto them a veray dethe for euer after Example of Lazarꝰ whiche after that he was restored to the myseryes of this lyfe agayne he neuer lough but was in contynuall heuynes and pensyfnesse Now therfore wolde I aske you this one questyon Were it not suppose ye al this considerd a meetly thȳg for vs to desyre to haue this noble princes here amōgest vs agayn to forgo the ioyous lyfe aboue to wante the presence of the gloryous trynyte whō she so longe hathe sought honoured to leue that moost noble kyngdome to be absent frome the moost blessyd company of sayntes sayntesses hether to come agayn to be wrapped endaūgered with the mysteres of this wretched worlde with the paynfull dyseases of her aege with the other encomberaunces that dayly happethe in this myserable lyfe Were this a reasonable request of oure partye were this a kynde desyre were this a gentyl wysshel that where she hathe ben so kinde louȳg a maystresse vnto vs all we sholde more regarde our owne prouffytes then her more synguler wele comforte The moder that hathe so grete affeccyon vnto her sone that she wyll not suffre hym to departe from her to his promocyon furtheraūce but alway kepe hym at home more regardynge her owne pleasure than hys we le were not she an vnkinde vngentyl moder yes verayly let vs therfore thȳke our moost louyng maystres is gone hens for her promocyon for her grete furtheraunce for her moost wele prouffyte And herin comforte vs herin reioyse ourselfe thanke almyghty god whiche of his infynyte mercy so gracyously hathe dysposed for her But ye wyll say vnto me Syr yf yf We were sure of this we wolde not be sory but be ryght hertly glad ioyous therfor As for suerte veray suerte can not be had but only by the reuelacyon of god almighty Neuertheles as farre as by scrypture this thȳge can be assured in th ende of this gospel folowingly iz made by our sauyour a stronge argument almost demōstratyue of this same thynge the argumēt is this Euery persone that putteth theyr full truste in cryst Ihū Albeit they be deed in theyr bodyes yet shall they neuertheles haue lyfe in theyr soules that lyf that neuer shall haue ende But this noble prynces she put her ful truste in cryste ▪ Ihesu verayly byleuynge that he was the sone of god came in to this worlde for the redempcyon of synners wherfore it must necessaryly folowe that albeit her body be deed her soule is in that ioyous lyfe that neuer shall cease The fyrste parte of this argument foloweth in the gospell Qui credit in me etiam simortuus fuerit viuet That is to say who that fully trusteth in cryst Ihū albeit they be deed in theyr bodies they neuertheles shal lyue in theyr soules But yet we wante a lytell I sayd more than this I saw that lyfe shall neuer haue ende for this also it foloweth Et oēs qui viuit credit ī me nō moriet ineternū That is to saye euery persone that hathe this lyfe this full trust in Ihesu shall neuer dye So here appereth well that fyrst parte of our argument For the .ij. part now that this noble prynces had full fayth in Ihesu cryste it may appere yf ony wyll demaūde this questyon of her that our sauyour demaūded of Martha he sayd to her Credis hoc Byleuist thou this what is that that this gētylwoman wolde not byleue she that ordeyned .ij. contynual reders in bothe the vnyuersytes to teche the holy dyuynyte of Ihesu she that ordeyned prechers perpetuall to publysshe that doctryne fayth of cryste Ihesu she that buylded a college royall to the honour of the name of crist Ihesu lefte tyll her executours another tobe buylded to mayntayn his fayth doctryne Besyde al this foūded in the monastery of westmynster where her body lyeth thre prestes to praye for her perpetually She whom I haue many tymes herde saye that yf the crysten prynces wolde haue warred vpon the enmyes of his faith she wold be glad yet to go folowe the hoost helpe to wasshe theyr clothes for the loue of Ihū she that openly dyde wytnesse this same thynge at the houre of her dethe whiche saynge dyuers here presente can recorde how hertly she answered whan the holy sacrament contaynȳge the blessid Ihū in it was holden before her the questyon made vntyl her whether she byleued that there was verayly the sone of god that suffred his blessyd passyō for her for all mankynde vpon the crosse Many here can bere recorde how with all her herte soule she raysed her body to make answere there vnto confessed assuredly that in that sacrament was conteyned cryst Ihesu the sone of god that dyed for wretched sȳners vpon the crosse in whom holly she put her truste confydence these same wordes almoost that Martha confessed in the ende of this gospell Ego credidi quia tu es christus filius dei qui ī mūdū venisti That is to saye I haue byleued that thou art cryst the sone of gad whiche came in to this worlde And so sone after that she was aneled she departed yelded vp her spyryte in to the handes of our lorde who may not nowe take euydent lyklyhode coniecture vpon this that the soule of this noble woman whiche so studyously in her lyf was occupyed in good werkes with a faste fayth of cryst the sacramentes of his chirche was defended in that houre of departynge out from the body was borne vp in to the countre aboue with the blessyd aūgelles deputed ordeyned to that holy mystery For yf the herty prayer of many ꝑsones Yf her owne contynuall prayer in her lyf tyme. yf the sacramētes of the chirche orderly taken yf indulgences pardons graūted by diuers popes yf true repentaūce teeres yf fayth deuocyon in criste Ihesu yf charyte to her neyghbours yf pyte vpon the poore yf forgyuenes of iniuries or yf good werkes be auaylable as doubtles they be grete lyklyhode almoost certayne coniecture we may take by them all these that soo it is in dede Therfore put we asyde all wepynge teeres be not sad ne heuy as men withouten hope but rather be we gladde ioyous eche of vs herin con●ort other Alwaye praysynge magnyfyenge the name of oure lorde to whome be laude and honoure endlesly Amen ¶ Thus endeth this lamentable mornynge
