yet rendred thankes vnto hym but they vanished awayne in theyr conceytes thoughtes theyr folysh hartes was darkned and blynded For they naming counting them selfe to be wyse men becamme very idyotes fooles So is it not with thy vineyarde o Lorde And why Mary The shadow of it hath couered the hilles the vynes therof hath ouerspred the Cedre trees of God Which is the shadowe The olde testament goyng afore the trouthe of the Gospel euen as our shadou goeth before our bodye when the sunne commeth after but whan the sunne commeth before our face thā dothe not the shadowe go afore but commeth

and apeare and shewe his face to vs. Wherfore he came and opened the trouthe and sette it before our eyes now lo the shadow foloweth and cōmeth after our back We therfore do flee awaye from it and do go towarde the sunne The shadowe of the Lawe and of sacrifyses is ouerpassed because the sunne of ryghtousnes Christe our God is come The shadowe of it therfore that is to saye the Lawe the darke teaching of the Prophetes couered the mowntaynes Who ar the mountaynes Men stedfaste in faythe high in parfectnes of iustice contemplacyon of heuenly thynges Certesse the Patriarches and Prophetes not the Philosophers and Oratours which ben the mountaynes of pryde This vineyarde than proceded from the vnsearchable heuenly lyghte of the Patriarches Prophetes And the shadowe herof hath couered the hylles that is to saye Bisshoppes Patriarches and prophetes which hauing plentieth of knowlege in the Lawe beyng replenyshed with spirit of Prophecye did couer thy vineyarde mayntayn it Thou diddest

husbandes which hathe done the frutes therof that is to saye hath turned the shadow of the Lawe into lyght The carnal sense haue they drawne vnto a spiritual vnderstandyng that when they be wery they might sytte vnder the shadow therof be cooled from feruent heate yea the shadow of it is becomme lyghte for that the very Lawe it selfe spiritually taken and vnderstanded is made the Gospel vnder whose shadowe which is the lyghte the wery soule resting thus doth singe and saye Vnder his shade haue I syt whome I lōged for his frute is swete and pleasaunt to my throte And agayne The breathe of our mouthe is Christe The Lorde was taken in our treaspace vnto whome we sayde In thy couerte shal we lyue among the gentiles Then did he multiplye the vinebraunches emōg the Heathen For the Gentiles camme to Christe to the tyller to the vinetre to the vineyarde the braunches wer multiplyed they did growe for the a greate nombre and not wythout a cause wer made euen as vyneyardes and the vines therof wer lifted vp on hygh Yea they couered the Cedre trees of God Which ar the Cedre trees of God Vndoutedly his Apostles his Euangelistes the teachers of his congregatiō Wherfore the chosen children out of the Gentiles camme to them they tooke them by the hande and sayde Wyth you will we go for we haue herd that God is with you Than wer the Cedre trees gladde they bowed downe themselues sayde Clyme vp clymme vp ouer vs take vs for we wil heare we wil holde you vp we wil lyfte you frō the grounde So the Gentiles wente vp by faythe and wer buylded vpon the foūdacion of the Apostles and Prophetes euen Christe Iesus hymselfe being the hygh corner fronne These vines therfore hath ouerspredde the Cedre trees of God O happie vineyarde o blessed braūches which haue not folowed the wysdome of folish Philosophers but that heuenly sapience of the mountaynes Cedre trees that is of the Prophetes Apostles the lyght vnspeakable the waye of trouthe that leadeth you truely vnto your ryght countrey But how large is this vineyarde Is it the lande of Iewry alone Is God onely the Iewes theyr God Doutelesse from the sunne rysyng vnto the sunne settyng Lorde greate is thy name emong the people The hathe streched out her braunches euen to the see her longe spreading reacheth vnto the ryuer The Cedre trees of Libane reioysed they cried lyfted vp theyr voyce Theyr sounde went forth in to al the worlde and theyr wordes vnto the vttermost borders of the whole worlde The see herde and swelled the earthe was troubled The floodes of the see roose Maruelous ar the surges of the see maruelons is the Lorde in high places Troubled wer the moūtaynes proude princes presses scrybes Pharises The kinges of the earthe stoode by the rulers camme to gyther agaynst the Lord agaynst his

the harde harted vnfruteful Heathens did lysten forthwith wer they turned into braunches of the vinetre The see behelde and ranne a waye Iordane the ryuer turned backeward agayne But the Gentiles euerywhere camme vnto the vine they fastened themselfe to it by faythe and loue they encreased greately euen to the ende of the worlde to the mountaynes the see wheras tyrauntes and frowarde people wer stryken caste downe into hel and ouerwhelmed wyth the sea Contrarywyse our vineyard hath spredde forthe her braūches euen vnto the see that is vnto the fardest parte of lande The see therfore compasseth thys vineyarde beateth vpon it but the whaues be broken agaynst it But what worthed of the countreye of Iewes It was hardened it was dryed vp it yelded no frute Thou haste cutte of therfore suche braunches oheuēly tyller haste throwne them in to the fyre Why ar al the braūches destroyed loste God for bidde For yet the leauinges bene saued Many braūches of Iewes accordyng to thy wyll and appoyntment hath continued in the vinetre hath yelded parfecte frute The vineyarde growed ane stretched forth her vynes euen vnto the ryuer What meaneth this Lorde vnto the ryuer Why is ther in al the worlde but one flode Is the worlde shutte vp or enclosed by some see or any ryuer No veryly but lyke as when the Prophete is named Dauid is mente therby for his excellence and Paule whan the Apostle is named so in this place wheras is mencioned a ryuer generally vnderstand thou it of Iordane whiche was hallowed and sanctifyed of my sonne for it alone hath that preemynence What meaneth then vnto the ryuer but vnto the ryuer Iordane That is vnto the people of the Hebrues did she spredde forthe her braunches Thynke not than the people of the Hebrues
