eternal fire And therfore they yâ— desire to be deliuered from this perpetual payne from that fire of purgatori shuld not coÌ„mit these criminal and mortal sinÌ„es but if they haue already coÌ„mitted theÌ„ let theÌ„ do frutefull penauÌ„ce nor cese to redeme those smal dayly synnes with good workes And with what works these smalesinnes may be redemed I desire fullye perfectlye to shew you As ofte as we vysyt the sicke and seke for those which ar in prison tide fast in baÌ„des reuoke those that be at discord to vnitie concord As ofte as we obserue kepe the fasting dayes commaunded by the church washe the fete of strauÌ„gers come ofteÌ„ together vntovigilles geue our charite and almes before our dores vnto the pore and forgeue our enemies as oftas they shall require aske forgeuenes With these workes other lyke vnto these those smal venyalsinÌ„es are dayly redemed but this only for capital mortal sinÌ„es doth not suffise but teres muste be addyd therevnto sorow coÌ„tinual fastinge leberal large almes remouyng our self froÌ„ the communion of the churche coÌ„tinuyng for a long tyme in heuines sorowe doynge open penauÌ„ce For it is iust that he which lost destroid hym selfe wyth the destruction losse of many shulde redeme hymselfe with the edyfication amendement of manye Nor fynallye it is not impossyble nor vnconuenieÌ„t nother that I perswade and counsell that we shuld so lament our dead soules as we bewayle and lament other mennes deade bodies For yf other my wife my son or my husband be departyd and deade menne fal downe vpon the earthe they teare and plucke themselfes by the heare they knocke theÌ„ selfes vppon the breste and contynue no smale tyme in mournynge penaunce we pyng We besech you brethreÌ„ to exhibite vnto your soules that they exhibite vnto other meÌ„s bodies And coÌ„sider this my brethreÌ„ how euill a thing it is to bewale that we cannot reuiue We lament the fleshe the whiche we cannot cal to life again but our deed soules we be wayle not that which by penauÌ„ce we maye reuoke to theyr olde state againe But that that is worse we do we bewaile the dede body which we loue but we sorow nor la meÌ„t not our deade soules the which we loue not And ther fore let vs begin clene coÌ„trary to loue the lord more theÌ„ the seruauÌ„t that is the creator maker of the body more then the body more the ladye theÌ„ that mayde that is more the soule made lyke vnto the image of god than the fleshe formyd and made of the slyme of the earth that when ourflesh at the later dai shal begin to putrify and be deuoured by wormes in the graue that soule by yâ— handes of the aungels maye be lifted vp into Abrahams bosom that it at the day of iudgment receauyng the body by the vertue of the resurrection may merite to here wel good faithful seruauÌ„t enter into thy masters ioy And that these things the whyche we haue spokeÌ„ of before may adhere cleaue more surelye in your hartes that the apostolical lessoÌ„ may be more fully vnderstaÌ„ded I shal repete them vnto your charities Al saints good men that serue god faythfully do contend to geue them selues to rede or to prayer to perseuer in good works Nor they which bild not vpon the fuÌ„datioÌ„ of christ capytal and mortal synnes nor yet venial that is timber hai and stoble but good workes that is gold syluer and pretyous stones shal passe thorowe the fyer of the whyche the apostie doth saye It shal be reueled shewed in fyre wtout any violatioÌ„ or hurt And althoughe that they whiche coÌ„mit no mortal synÌ„es are promyte redy to do venial sinÌ„s negligent to redeme them shall come to eternal lyfe because they beleuyd in chryste comitted no criminal synÌ„es yet they must fyrst as I haue sayde by the iustice or mercy of god thrugh bytter tribulations be troubled scourgid or els through the mercye of God be delyuered by greate and manifold almes and specially when they mekely perdon and forgeue theyr enemies or els they shal be longe troublyd tormentid in that fyre wher of the apostle doth speke that so they may come wtout spot or wryncle to eternal lyfe But they truely whiche haue committed murder sacrilege adulterye or other lyke vnto these yf worthy penaunce as it is sayde do not helpe them shal notmerite to passe vnto lyfe by the fyre of purgatory but byeternal fire shall be caste hedlynge vnto death And therefore as ofteÌ„ as ye shal here in the apostolical lesson yf any man bild vpon the fuÌ„dation of christ gold syluer precious stons vnderstande that of saintes perfect christeÌ„ meÌ„ the which shal merite as it were purgyd pure gold to come to the eternal reward But they which bylde vpoÌ„ the fuÌ„datioÌ„ of christ timber hay stoble vnderstaÌ„d that as it is often times sayde of good christians but yet negligente to purge those smale venial sinÌ„es the which yf they nether be purgid thrugh the diuine iustice with many tribulatioÌ„s nor noman rede meth theÌ„ with liberal almes dedes the thing that the apostle doth say shal not be fulfylled in theÌ„ without gret doloure heuines yf any maÌ„s worke burne he shal suffer losse but he shal be safe him selfe neuer thelesse yet as it were thorow fyre Let no man yet as I haue sayd before deceue hym selfe that thys maye be done or vnderstanded of capital deadly sinnes yf thei remain vncuryd And therefore as I haue often sayde let vs labor with the ayde and helpe of god to escape the greater sinnes and continually redeme the lesse without the whyche we cannot be with the loue of our enemyes and large lyberall almes our lord Jesu christe grauÌ„ting the same the which with the
