workes therfore Will euermore Appeare in Gods elect For by that signe Such as are mine Saith Christ shall be detect But such as lurke And will not wurke Ought else but wickednesse Christ will forsake And them betake To the pitte bottomlesse There they shall lye And wishe to dye But death shall flée them fro They shall sustayne Eternall payne Bicause they liued so All ye therfore That heretofore Haue bene ledde in darkenesse Do not abuse These godly newes Through your carnal excesse Carnall excesse Is as I gesse To thinke Christ made vs frée For that we should Through him be bold To worke iniquitie But Christ our price The sacrifice For sinne hauing no stayne Must nedes forsake All them that make Themselues captiue againe And those be they That to vs say Christ hath payd the raunsome And worthy price For all our vice To purchase vs fréedome His precious blood Shedde on the Roode Hath set vs all at large No maner wight Hath any might To lay ought to our charge By him we trust To be found iust When he shal iudge vs all Notwithstanding That our liuing Be not like Peter and Paule We do not doubt His blood without Our workes to be able Vs to restore Our workes therfore Are found vnprofitable All this is true Yet are workes due And all that do neglect To do gods wil Are bond men still As none of Gods electe For none can be At libertie Through Christ that do not stil Themselues emploie To mortifie The flesh to do Gods wil. The fruite and trée Shall euer bée All one this is no nay The roote and spring Is all one thing One good both good alway The braunche also That cleaueth to The vine shal be fruitfull It cannot bée That a good trée Should be vnprofitable Euen so brothers All Christes members Bring forth works plētuously The godly secte Of Gods electe Can not liue idelly The holy ghost Is not at host With them that liue fleshly They must fulfill The fathers will That wil haue him tary Therfore if we Intende to be Temples of the Lordes spirite Our life must not Dissent from that Which holy Paule doth write Make your bodies A sacrifice Saith he sincere and pure Keping therin No maner sinne But séeke the Lordes pleasure When we do this We shall not mis To haue Gods spirite in vs Whose presence shall Helpe vs in all Things that are daungerous But if we will Be fleshly still Working our beastly lust Vndoubted than In him we can By no meanes put our trust For he will bée An enimie To all that wil worke vice And to them that Endeuour not From their olde sinne to rise Repent therfore And sinne no more But seke God and his will That ye may be At libertie From death sinne the deuil Walke not in sinne Now you be in The light of Gods doctrine For if ye do Ye are like to The most vncleanely swine Which vse to lye Most filthily In myer vp to the head Euen at high noone When that the sunne Most glorious beames doth spread But we risen From death and sinne By Christ our aduocate Must in liuing Séeke for the thing That will kéepe our estate That is Gods grace For to imbrace His worde and worke his will With all our might Both day and night To liue thereafter still We haue bene led Blindely and fed Scarsly long time what than Should we therfore Liue euermore After the outward man No God forbid That Abrams séede Should so degenerate That it should smell Of Ismaell Whose stocke was reprobate Plenty of meate Now for to eate The good shepeherd hath sent His shéepe to féede Which stoode in néede No doubt was his intent And not to stroy Their health thereby Which thing it doth in déede When they halfe woode Abuse that foode The flesh therwith to féede Féede we therfore The fleshe no more With the foode of the soule For if it catche A further smatche At length it wil controle Then may we say Woe worth the day And houre of our first birthe For death shall bring Extreme mourning And take away our mirth O cruell lotte O pestilent rotte What plague can be like this Which taketh away Immortal ioy Banishing vs all blisse No remedie For this finde I But onely earnest prayer Which as I fynde Hath ofte enclinde God to remit his ire Wherfore let vs Be studious In prayer that it may please The heauenly king Which knoweth all thing To cure this sore disease And then no doubt We shal without Delay come to the blisse That is preparde As a rewarde For them that séeke iustice The third kynde as My promise was I must néedes now declare That is murraine As shepeherdes faine That worketh them much care But good herdmen Tell me that when Shepe take the murraine rote Then the shepherde For his rewarde Should be hāged by the throte For no shepe will Rotte on the hill So long as he is ledde Directly forth As the time doth Require for to be fedde But such as do Leade shepe into The valley to make them fatte Intend to sell The carcase well And gayne something by that But he that will Not his shéepe kill But haue them to endure To féede them sound In holesome ground He must euer be sure And suche one will Vp to the hill To féede his flocke eche day And killeth not Such as

They sende at slaughter day They take no care For slender ware Though wolfes fetch thē away Such can be bolde For ready golde To bye a flocke of shéepe And for to haue A slouthful knaue That wil take them to kéepe They do not passe What maner grasse He hath to féede them on So that the summe Do yerely come That they do pointe vpon Marke now brothers If no butchers May be found in this land Which busily Do Christes flocke bye Out of the shepeherdes hand What are they that Vse to lye at The court or some lordes place Where they sustaine Importune paine Dauncing on Gnatos trace These wil espye Where great flockes lye Where they set one to spie To bring tidinges Before all thinges When the shepeherde doth die Then they apply Their flattery By frendship bought with gold That for their paine They may obtaine To enter to the fold Yea long before Some get them store Of Vowsens to be sure That none shall let Them for to get In at their owne pleasure Then do they set Some leude verlet To try what may be made Yearely of that Ware that is fat And all due charges payde The chiefe thing is The priestes wages And tenthes due to the king But such as bée In pouertie May be allowed nothing For if they should These butchers could Not thriue vpon
