Take away the glysteryng garmentꝭ take away the cloth of golde take away the precyouse stones the other rychesse of apparell what dyfference is betwyxt an Emperour and another pore man Take from the ladyes theyr gaye clothes cheynes and other Juels what dyfference of theym as concernynge this outwarde glory of a pore woman The Actes of the Apostels tellyth of Kyng Herode that he in ryche apparell shewed hym selfe vpon a tyme vnto the people they for his glysteryng apparell goodly ornacyon magnyfyed praysed hym soueraynly as though he had bē a god but bycause he referred nat that honour due vnto god but toke it vnto hym selfe almyghty god forthwith stroke hym with a soore sykenesse wherupon he dyed and so dyenge he sayd En ego deus vester morior Loo sayde he I your god must dye ¶ Kynges Emperours all be but men all be but mortall All the golde all the precyouse stones of this worlde can nat make them but mortall men All the ryche apparell that can be deuysed can nat take from theym the condycyon of mortalyty They be in them selfe but erth asshes to erthe they must retourne all theyr glorye well consydered beholdē with ryghtiyen is but very myserable ¶ But the gloryous apparell of the blessyd aungels and of the blessed sayntes is nat after this maner for theyr glory is so annext so adioyned vnto thē it is so fastened vnto theyr substaunce that it can not be taken away they neuerley it aparte they neuer put it of nor they nede nat for it neuer fadeth nor widereth nor may in no wyse enpayre It is the garment of gloryous immortalytye more bryght than the sonne In the which also shall be clad all the bodyes of them that shall be sauyd O what maruelous Joy shall it be to se that gloryous syght of that court where the leest grome is clad soo rychely aboue all the Kynges and Prynces of this worlde than to se so great a multytude of them to se so many orders of aungels and in euery order such innumerable companyes nat a seuen or eyght thousandes but many hūdred thousandes ye many thousandes thousandes And than to se so many dyuers orders of other blessyd sayntes Patryarkes Prophetes Apostels Martyres Confessours vyrgyns wydowes and such as haue trewly kept theyr bonde of matrymony To se there our speciall frendes and acquayntaunce which we had here before in this lyfe to se the other sayntes whiche we dyd chuse for our aduowrers and patrons here in erthe and whom specyally we dyd worshyp in this worlde To se our owne good aungels that were our guyders in this lyfe Specyally to se the gloryouse vyrgyn Mary the mother of Chryste and the Quene of that moost gloryouse kyngedome But aboue all other thynges to se that glory that worthynesse that excellency of that gloryouse Trynytyte the Father the Son and the holy Goost ¶ The father which is the father of all mercyes and his most blessed son our sauyour Chryst Jesu and the holy spyryte whiche is the fountayne of all graces ¶ These thre though they be thre dyuers persons yet they be but one god perfytely knyt to gyder in a perfyte amytye in one loue in one wyll in one wysdō in one power inseperably ¶ Tho thre Prynces of whome we spake of before were nat so but they had dyuers wylles dyuers councels no perdurable amyty as after that dyd well appere These Prynces were mortall and mutable and so theyr wylles dyd chaūge nat abyde But in the gloryous Trynyty ▪ amonge tho thre moost excellent persons hath bē is euer shalbe a very stabylnes a sure cōcorde perfyte theyr realme gouernaūce euer ꝑdurable wherfore in theyr kyngdome be the gloryous sightes y t make a mā blessed to beholde thē And all the other syghtes worldly be but as coūtrefeyt ymages in cōparison of these as ye wolde say mydsomer games Chrystmas games playes In these syghtes is the very trew Joye the moost blessed excellent glory that neuer shal haue ende ¶ Thus moche than we haue spoken as concernyng the kyngdom of heuyn wherby ye may cōceyue som lytle glymyryng of the ioyes pleasures y t the blessyd saintes beynge delyueryd from the myseryes of this worlde be now most plētyously refreshed with SEcondly I sayd y t I wolde also speke of the other blessed soules which lykewyse be departed out of this myserable worlde but they for theyr dettes lye now deteyned in the pryson of Purgatory let as it were to com vnto the presence of the gloryouse Trynytye and to be made parteners of the Joyes and pleasures inestymable of that most noble kyngdom And therfore our mother holy chyrche as this nyght and tomorow remembrynge theyr greuous paynes maketh specyall intercessyon vnto almyghty god for theyr delyueraunce out of that paynfull place And truely many consyderacyons shold moue vs effectually to remember them but in especyall fyue FYrst the nighnes which they haue to vs we to thē by manyfold bōdꝭ we haue all one father almyghty god the which made vs them after the lykenes and ymage of hymselfe They be his reasonable creatures and chyldren as we be and our spyrytuall bretheren in hym He hathe prouysyon and cure of theym lyke as he hath of vs for theym our Sauyour Cryste Jesu shed his moost precyous blood vppon the crosse lyke as he dyd for vs. They be of the same fayth hope and charyte that we be of They haue ben made parteners of the same sacramentes Wherfore whan there is so great a lykenes betwene vs and them and in so many qualyties this shold moue styre vs greatly to haue some tender compassyon vpon them ¶ we may se the vnreasonable creatures how soon they be moued to haue ruthe pytie compassyon of theyr resēblaunce of suche as be lyke vnto them in nature onely The hogge whiche is but a very churlysshe beest yet whan one of theyr kynde cryeth all the resydew nygh there about gader to the relief of the same whan one Sparow or other byrde is taken in a gylder or with a lyme twygge all the other nere about gadereth about her to saue socour her lyfe And yf this the vnreasonable beestes fowles do for the lykenes onely of nature and kynde how moche rather sholde we beynge reasonable creatures be moued to haue pytye styred to take compassyon of the blessed soules which nat onely be lyke vs in nature but also by soo many spyrytualll bondes be Joyned vnto vs. This is the fyrst consyderacyon THe seconde consideracyon that which peraduēture ye wyll the more regarde is this Euery one of vs hath som of his frendes and kynsfolke there eyther father or
