A17725	Two godly and learned sermons, made by that famous and woorthy instrument in Gods church, M. Iohn Caluin. Which sermons were long since translated out of Latine into English, by M. Robert Horne late Byshop of Winchester, at what time he suffered exile from his country, for the testimony of a good conscience, as his apology in the beginning of the booke will witnes. And because these sermons haue long lyen hidden in silence, and many godly and religious persons, haue beene very desirous of them: at theyr earnest request they are nowe published by A.M.; Quatre sermons. English. Selections	Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564.; Horne, Robertc1519?-1580.; Munday, Anthony, 1553-1633.	1584 (1584)	STC 4461; ESTC S110726	58,766	149

what_o murder_n they_o do_v but_o if_o we_o will_v have_v this_o stay_n and_o moderation_n of_o mind_n that_o we_o can_v patient_o abide_v god_n will_v at_o the_o last_o declare_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o a_o cause_n that_o he_o so_o great_o esteem_v our_o life_n and_o have_v it_o in_o so_o great_a honour_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v we_o not_o take_v it_o to_o grief_n if_o it_o be_v now_o bestow_v to_o confirm_v and_o garnishe_v the_o gospel_n which_o excel_v heaven_n and_o earth_n in_o worthiness_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v more_o sure_o persuade_v that_o god_n will_v never_o leave_v we_o as_o abjects_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o enemy_n let_v we_o not_o forget_v the_o same_o say_n of_o jesus_n christ_n wherein_o he_o say_v 9.4_o that_o it_o be_v he_o himself_o who_o man_n do_v persecute_v in_o his_o member_n god_n say_v before_o by_o zacharie_n who_o so_o touch_v you_o 8._o touch_v the_o sight_n of_o my_o eye_n this_o be_v much_o more_o express_v if_o we_o suffer_v for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n it_o be_v even_o as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o be_v and_o suffer_v in_o that_o affliction_n therefore_o let_v we_o think_v so_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v forget_v himself_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o care_n and_o thought_n of_o we_o at_o that_o time_n when_o we_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o danger_n of_o life_n for_o his_o cause_n and_o glory_n and_o let_v we_o also_o know_v that_o god_n will_v take_v all_o the_o contumely_n and_o injury_n as_o do_v against_o his_o own_o son_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o place_n of_o consolation_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a among_o god_n promise_n that_o be_v that_o god_n will_v so_o hold_v we_o up_o with_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o these_o affliction_n that_o our_o enemy_n whatsoever_o they_o do_v nor_o satan_n their_o chief_a captain_n shall_v in_o any_o thing_n go_v away_o with_o the_o upper_a hand_n and_o true_o we_o do_v see_v how_o in_o that_o necessity_n he_o do_v show_v the_o succour_n and_o help_n of_o his_o grace_n for_o the_o invincible_a stoutness_n and_o constancy_n of_o mind_n which_o be_v see_v in_o the_o true_a martyr_n be_v a_o notable_a token_n of_o that_o same_o most_o mighty_a power_n which_o god_n use_v in_o his_o saint_n ●rsecution_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o persecution_n gréevous_a tedious_a and_o intolerable_a to_o the_o flesh_n whereof_o the_o one_o consist_v in_o the_o check_n and_o rebuke_n of_o man_n the_o other_o in_o the_o pain_n and_o torment_n of_o the_o body_n kind_n in_o both_o these_o kind_n of_o temptation_n god_n do_v promise_v so_o his_o assistance_n that_o we_o shall_v easy_o overcome_v all_o the_o infamy_n and_o violence_n of_o the_o grief_n and_o pain_n and_o true_o what_o he_o promyse_v he_o do_v perform_v in_o deed_n with_o most_o manifest_a and_o assure_a help_n let_v we_o then_o take_v this_o buckler_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o all_o fear_n and_o let_v we_o not_o measure_v the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n so_o slender_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v and_o believe_v that_o he_o will_v easy_o overcome_v all_o the_o injury_n bitterness_n and_o contumely_n of_o man_n and_o of_o this_o divine_a and_o invinsible_a operation_n among_o all_o other_o we_o have_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o this_o our_o age_n a_o certain_a young_a man_n who_o live_v godlilie_o here_o with_o we_o in_o this_o city_n man_n when_o he_o be_v take_v at_o dornicke_n be_v condemn_v with_o this_o sentence_n that_o if_o he_o will_v deny_v the_o confession_n of_o his_o faith_n he_o shall_v be_v but_o behead_v question_n but_o if_o he_o persevere_v in_o his_o purpose_a opinion_n he_o shall_v be_v burn_v when_o he_o be_v ask_v whether_o he_o will_v do_v he_o answer_v plain_o answer_n he_o who_o will_v give_v i_o this_o grace_n to_o die_v patient_o for_o his_o name_n will_v also_o work_v by_o the_o selfsame_o grace_n that_o i_o may_v abide_v broil_v and_o burn_v we_o ought_v to_o take_v this_o sentence_n not_o as_o pronounce_v of_o a_o mortal_a man_n but_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o god_n can_v so_o well_o confirm_v and_o make_v we_o overcome_v all_o pain_n and_o torment_n as_o to_o move_v we_o to_o take_v any_o other_o kind_n of_o méeke_a death_n in_o good_a part_n yea_o we_o see_v also_o oftentimes_o what_o constancy_n he_o give_v to_o evyll_n and_o wicked_a man_n who_o suffer_v for_o their_o evil_a deed_n and_o wickedness_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o such_o as_o be_v obstinate_a and_o harden_a in_o their_o wickedness_n which_o have_v no_o repentance_n but_o of_o they_o which_o do_v perceyve_v consolation_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o do_v take_v and_o suffer_v quiet_o and_o with_o good_a will_n most_o gréevous_a and_o sharp_a pain_n and_o as_o we_o see_v a_o notable_a example_n in_o that_o thief_n 23._o who_o turn_v at_o the_o death_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v god_n who_o assi_v with_o so_o great_a power_n wicked_a man_n that_o suffer_v condign_o for_o their_o evil_a act_n forsake_v they_o who_o defend_v his_o cause_n and_o will_v he_o not_o rather_o give_v they_o invinsible_a power_n for_o the_o thyrd_o place_n of_o promise_n which_o god_n promise_v to_o his_o martyr_n be_v the_o fruit_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o look_v for_o of_o their_o suffering_n and_o of_o death_n itself_o if_o need_v so_o require_v but_o this_o fruit_n be_v that_o after_o they_o have_v set_v forth_o and_o honour_v god_n name_n and_o edify_v his_o church_n with_o their_o testimony_n they_o may_v be_v gather_v together_o in_o immortal_a glory_n with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o because_o we_o have_v speak_v large_o enough_o before_o of_o this_o reward_n of_o eternal_a glory_n it_o be_v now_o
