backe the vnworthie is broken downe destroyed yea they haue entred in that passeth by their owne waye haue takē awaye the frutes What sayest thou This I meane To daye in the commen route of men to morowe in the roume of a Bishop To daye in a tolebothe to morow a chanon in the quier To daye a souldier to morow a preste They passed by theyr owne waye wente a syde to thy vineyarde not to the

God onely men or wycked spyrites goyng by the waye did gather the grapes of it and not also very beastes did entre in to it But lo a naughty beaste hath gone in to it hath destroyed it euen from the rote A Boore out of the woode hath broken the bandes of it and a singular wilde beaste hath deuoured it This boore is a swyn a fylthie swyn a proud swyn a cruel swyn not tamed at home but wilde out of that wood an exceding wātō clarke a lecherous preste whiche is no man but a beaste but an vnclēly swyn he aprocheth to thy altar he hath layn the hole nyght in his beastlynes indirt in dōge in the

For why we are frayle and feble nor we truste not in oure owne vertue or power for that we are not sufficient so moche as to ymagine any thinge of oure selfe as of oure owne abylytie but oure suffisaunce is of God For thys mortall fleshe is bourdenouse vnto the minde and thys earthlye dwellynge holdeth downe the witte couetynge to contēplate sondry matters Wherfore do thou conuerte vs o God Tourne vs to the frō earthly thoughtes to heauēly thynges tourne vnto the our dyssobedient rebellious wil and arbytrymēt and to vs ones tourned shewe thi countenaunce that we maye know the declare thy powre that we maye feare the vtter thy wisdome that we maye honour the shewe forthe thy goodenesse that we maye loue the shewe thy selfe ones shewe thy selue agayne sheue thy selfe contynually that we maye passe thorough trouble with a gladsome chere and so shal we be saffe For if thou preserue vs we shal be in sauegarde if thou takest awaye thy hande we can not be saued Why taryest thou Lorde Why doste thou not fauourably heare my request Lord God of myght how long art thou angrye wyth thy seruante prayeng vnto the.

theyr dominiōs do reuerētly feare Lorde God of myght how longe wilte thou be angrye with thy seruaunt prayeng vnto thee where is thy entyre loue Where is thi strength Where is thy manifolde mercye What Ar they refrayned kepte awaye ouer vs We wil crie vnto the both nyght daye knowing verely that if so be thou wilte make a cariaunce yet wol thou at the laste gētylly heare our importunate sute Thou shalt feede vs with breade of teares shalte gyue vs drinke of teares by measure I hope I saye that I shal be herde for that thou haste euermore loued trouth Denye thy selfe thou canst not For thou haste promysed Aske it shal be gyuen ye seke ye shal fynde knock it shal be opened vnto you Albeit firste thou shalt fede vs with breade of teares with bitter breade with pleasaunt breade For teares ar both sowre swete Sowre for the absence of goodnesse swete for the certaynte of fyndyng out goodnesse Bytter they bene for bycause that truste whyche is dryuen of delayed greueth the poore soule pleasaūte they ar for the presence of thi swetenesse which stirrest vs vp to praye causest vs to cal vpō the w e vnspeakable sighes And thou salt giue vs drynke of the cuppe that is in thi hande ful of the swetenesse of pure wyne For why thy comforting shal reuiue our spyrites quicken our myndes euen according to the heape of the greafes anguyues in our hert Drynk therfore shalt thou gyue vs in the teares of troubles which washeth the face of our conscience which clearith our vnderstanding which moystureth our herte with deuotion yeldeth vs the sauour of loue charyte Than thy good teares ar swete tears Doutlesse which hathe bene foode to vs daye and nyght Heare vs therfore thou shalt but afore that shalt thou fede vs gyue vs drynk in trears not more the we cā bear but in measure after the lymytyng of the trouth For thou wylte not let vs be tempted more then we can beare but thou wilte make also this profyte to cōme of thy prouinge that we shal be the better able to suffre Thou shalte fede vs I saye with teares not alwayes but a certayne tyme which thou haste putte in thine owne powre Now lo when that same tyme apoynted is ones comme then shal our weping waylyng haue ane ende then shal thy angre cease then shal our prayers be accepted Thou shalte tourne vs to the thou shalte shewe the lyghte of thy countenaunce thou shalte rayse thy myghte thou shalt make vs saffe and sounde and thou shalt be reueled opened before Efraim Beniamin and Manasse thou shalte enlarge thi churche and take regarde to the gouernaunce ther of The meane whyle we shal possede our soules in our sufferaunce For why Thou haste sette vs to be with sayed of our neyghbours and our enemyes haue mocked vs In the meane season as thy chyldren doest thow chastyse vs that we maye be clensed that we laye not our harte vnto riches that we folowe not worldely prayse that thy trouthe maye the more comme to lyght and for these causes haste thou set our neyghbours to replye speake agaynst vs. And who beene our neyghbours but theys dissēblers whiche ar nether hotte nor colde whiche in their outward behauy our done appere as they wer Christiās Lord they wil say I thāke the for that I am not as the commen sort of men ar vnryghteous rauyshers lecherouse yea euen as this Publicane is I faste twyse in a weke I gyue in almes the tenth parte of al that I haue yet for al this they be not inwardly true Christians They ar therfore our neyghbours bycause they seme to be lyke vs in theyr works but they ar not of our householde bycause they haue not lowlynesse they haue not loue charyte Why thē after what facyon hast thou set these neutralles to wythsaye and stryue agaynste vs but for bycause thou haste lightened vs in the waye of trouthe and haste shewed vs thy countenaūce By that lyght haue we espied then perceyued that they be paynted graues which wythout appeareth gaye gorgyous but within they be ful of deade mennes bones al vncleanlynesse Wherfore leste symple folke other Christyans shoulde perysh thorough theyr sayengs and ensamples we haue toide them boldely gyuen them this warnyng beware of the Pharises leuyn which is hypocrisye or a fayned pretence of holynesse Cerymonyes customes or vsages shal not saue yow we haue disclosed playnely set oute to euery mans syghte theyr scrupulous conscience We haue reproued rebuked them sayeng yow be they that make your selfe parfecte ryghteous before men but God knoweth your hartes for what so euer is loftye afore men is abomynatiō afore God Hereupon ryseth ragyng enuye herupon groweth greate malyce he reupon springeth encreaseth debate and controuersye For they set more by mennes glorye thē Goddes glory Therfore go they romyng vp downe the cyte they runne hyther thyther they haūte womēs howses they grudge at vs they sclaunder
