or to the other but to shewe them wherein they haue faulted to the ende they may amend it If any will come and demaunde this or that particularly I will sende suche enquirers to that generall rule of GOD which I holde I speake this because there are some so importune that a man shall neuer haue doone if he would answere all theyr doubtes Such people may rightly be compared to them who after they haue hearde a Sermon wherein they are exhorted without superfluitie pompe soberly to hearken vnto it would rather haue the preacher to make theyr Hose and sewe their shooes Well what muste we doo then wee haue in all this a certaine marke whereunto we must aime that is that the zeale of Gods house do euen eate vp our hearte and so moue vs that we take vppon our selues all the dishonours and opprobries which are doone vntoo vs for his name When such zeale shall be well kindled in our heartes and shall not be like stubble set on fyer and quickly quenched but shall burne continually therewith a man shall bee so farre of from makyng shewe too approue the abhominations wherewith GOD is dishonoured that it shall bee impossible for vs too holde our peace and too dissemble when we see them And let vs marke well that it is saide The zeale of Gods house to the ende we shoulde knowe that this is too be referred to the outward order which is in the church to the end wee shoulde exercise our selues in the confession of our faith I way not those mockers who say that I can talke trimly of these matters liuing at mine own ease for they haue no great adoe with me forasmuche as it is well knowen that I haue no land heere And as muche say I of all these philosophers who geue sentence thereof without knowledge of the cause For seeing that they will not hearken vnto God who speaketh vnto them to teache them I cite them too appeare before his iudgemente seate where they shall heare their sentence against which there shal be no more question of replie Seeing they will not now heare him as their maister they shal then vnderstande him too bee theyr iudge in spite of their teethe The best able and craftiest shall there find theÌ„selues ouerreached deceiued in their accouÌ„t Let theÌ„ be as wel exercised and trained as can bee to ouerthrowe or to darken the trueth yet their Miniuer hoodes and badges wherin they are woont so proudly to vaunt them selues and in highly esteeming them selues to deceiue them selues shall not geue them the victory I speake this because my Lordes the Counsellours Iudges and Aduocates not onely enterprise too pleade against GOD too haue a priuiledge to mocke him but in reiecting the holy Scripture they spewe out their blaspemies as Soueraigne and vnreuocable determinations and sentences And suche manner of Idolles wyll bee so prowde that when they haue once spoken a woorde they cannot abide that reason or trueth haue anye place But yet this I shew them by the way that it were much better for them to think what an horrible vengeance is prepared for all those that turne the trueth of God into a lye Let not these chamber and carpet Doctors take heere any higher estate vpon them then is fit for them For this were to chatter againste our heauenly maister to whome it is meete that all we giue audience These goodly titles auaile nothing heere too exempt any man from iudgement except it bee that the Lord Abbots Pryors Deanes and Archdeacons be constrained to lead the dance in this greeuous condemnation that God shall pronounce Now although my Lordes the Courtiers were woont too please men with their holie Water yet they shall not so please God To conclude let all these trifling Spendthriftes Iesters and Praters holde their tongue and not caste foorth their accustomed cauills vnlesse they wil feele his mightie hande at whose woorde they ought too tremble This is a foule errour to make men beleeue that in taking me to be their aduersarie they shall not haue God any more to be their Iudge Let them then blot my name out of their papers in this matter I pretende therein nothing but that God may be hearde obayed and not to gouerne mens consciences according to my appetite not to lay any necessitie or lawe vpon them Concerning others that reiect not Gods word in such pride and outrage and yet notwithstanding are so weake and sluggish that one cannot make them once to wag I exhorte them that they take better heede unto themselues not to flatter themselues as they haue doone hetherto But that they open their eyes awaken to see and to feele their wretchedneâ— and miserie I knowe the difficulties and straightâ— wherein they are neyther doe I speake vnto them of seruing GOD purely among Idolaters as of an easie matter but if they want strength let them flye vntoo GOD too the ende hee may fortifie them and they may learne to preferre his glory before all the thinges in the worlde I desire al the poore faithfull ones that are in the Papacie that they wyll mark this as the Prophet Ieremie beyng in Ierusalem sente the same lesson too the people that were kept in captiuitie at Babylon If the tyrrannie of the Pope and of his bee so harde and cruell the Iewes of that time had their parte thereof And yet notwithstandyng they were commaunded too detest and abhorre the Idolatrie of Chaldea euen in the very bosome of the Countrey For it is no reason that the tyrrannye of men shoulde empayre or diminish the due honor that wee owe vnto GOD. There is here no exception or priuiledge for great or small rych or poore Let all men therefore bowe downe theyr neckes let the poore feare least he saying for feare I knowe not what to do GOD aunsweare neyther knowe I what too make of thee Let not the ryche be drunken with theyr ease as it were lying vppon theyr Bedde But rather let them learne by the Apostle Sainte Paule his example too accounte all but Dung and losse which may turne or hynder them from Christian life In the meane tyme let not vs forget for our parte that which I touched in the beginning that is too applie this to our instruction too bee alwayes ready into what coast of the world so euer wee shall be carried or what thing soeuer happen vnto vs too continue stedfaste in the sincere confession of our faith detestyng all superstitions and Idolatries and abuses which are contrary too the trueth of GOD darken his honour and ouerthrowe his seruice ⧠The seconde Sermon conteining an exhortation to suffer persecution too followe Iesus Christe and his Gospell vppon that place which is in the thriteenth Chapter too the Hebrewes Let vs therefore gâ—◠〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 Christ 〈◊〉 his reprochâ— ALL the exhortatioÌ„s that can be made vnto vs to suffer patiently for Christe his name and for the Gospels cause shall haue no
Foure SERMONS OF Maister Iohn Caluin Entreating of matters very profitable for our time as may bee seene by the Preface With a briefe exposition of the LXXXVII Psalme Translated out of Frenche into Englishe by Iohn Fielde ¶ Jmprinted at London for Thomas Man dwelling in Pater Noster Rome at the Signe of the Talbot 1579. To the right Honorable and my verie good Lorde Henry Earle of Huntington Lord Hastings Hungerford Botreaux Mullens and Moyles of the most Honorable order of the Garter Knight and Lorde President of the Queenes Maiesties Councell established in the North partes Iohn Fielde wisheth encrease of true faith and continuance in the zeale of his blessed religion for euer Amen IT may bee right honourable my very good Lord that men will maruayle whye I shoulde publishe these 〈◊〉 excellente Sermons of Maister Iohn Caluines the Argumentes whereof bee not so fitte and agreeable as they thinke to these times seeing GOD in mercy hath geuen vs peace and set vs at libertie from that Romish yoke suffering the beames of his glorious Gospel to spread far and wide to the great comfort of many and his owne euerlasting glory These benefits as they are acknowledged by me so I beseech God to make vs all more thankfull then we haue beene that the litle fruite they haue brought foorth amongest vs the common ignorance that is yet vpon the face of the whole lande the small preparation to the crosse and bending our backs too beare it with Iesus Christe our head doe not prouoke him too geue vs ouer too followe our owne wayes to haue no conscience nor care of any religion as I feare me the worlde is too to ful of such the more is the pitie For who seeth not that the coÌ„mon sort are so far from being instructed hauing plaide the Truantes in Gods Schole these twenty and odde yeeres that they haue not yet taken out this one lesson to bee of minde when God shall trie them too separate them selues from the cursed fellowship of Antichriste For they haue not yet learned too make any difference of religion but bende them selues too serue all times come there falshood or trueth light or darknesse religion or superstition the Gospell or the Masse Turcisme or Christianisme al is one too them so that they may liue at ease they are at a point no Scripture so strong or testimonie so euident that can conuince them too make them stand fast too Gods euerlasting trueth the seale of â—â—eir adoption Though Christe haue pronounced that whosoeuer denye him before men Matt. 10.33.38 hee wyll denie him before his father which is in heauen though he say playnely that hee that will followe him must take vp his crosse and followe him and that he that is ashamed too confesse him before men Apoc. 18.4 he wil deny him before his heauenly father yea although we bee commaunded too come out of Babylon Apoc. 13.3.11 and it be plainely saide that the red Dragon will powre out his waters as a riuer to ouertake the womaÌ„ with childe and that the victorie of the lambe muste be by his own blood by the word of their testimonie who loue not their liues vntoo the death yet can not all this mooue them to seeke too be grounded and prepared calling vpon God that they may stand resolute through his grace to beare testimonie to his glorious name who hath bestowed so many blessings vpon them If they may haue Christe with case wealth honour with the peace of the worlde and fauour of men if they may inioy him with their pleasures and proceeding on in sinne they wil be content with Pharisees a litle to entertaine him that they make a mock of him But if in the entertaining of him he shal neuer so litle touch their botch and pinch theyr pleasure if hee shall come neare their purse and endanger theyr least commoditie if he shal require mortificatioÌ„ with obedience sanctification then either they wil come by night like Nicodemus or else they wil pray him to be packing with the Gergesites or too conclude they wil lay violent hands vpon him Iohn 3.2 Mat. 8.34 Mat. 26.3 Iohn 11.47 Mark 11.10 Mark 14.64 15.12 and naile him fast to the crosse with the proude Scribes and Pharisees As for the common sort they that yesterday receiued him as a king with osianna in excelsis they wil to morow cry out Crucifige with the high Priests that they may liue in securitie These sermons therefore as for their worthinesse they haue been translated long agoe into other tongues and as I vnderstoode when I had almost finished them out of the Latine into ours also so my labour being past they being also by authoritie allowed and I especially following maister Caluines owne french copie so what differing froÌ„ the other I thought they coulde not but be very profitable at the leaste too prepare vs against the time to come For God hath geuen vs long peace and our rest hauing bred rust growen vp eueÌ„ to the height of the conteÌ„pt of his graces must needes prouoke him to punish the wicked with wonted plagues to correct vs with the fire of aduersitie that we may be purged froÌ„ our foule corruption Our cold starued Papistes I cannot tel what warmeth hath draweÌ„ theÌ„ out of their holes but now they begin a litle to shew theÌ„selues they loke big their haÌ„ging looks shew what malice lurketh in their caÌ„kred harts But our God liueth and therefore wee will not feare we know that all powers both in heauen and in earth are subiect to him and we nothing doubt though our sinnes haue strengthened the handes of his aduersaries that they shoulde be heauy vpon vs yet our God will in our punishmentes geue them an euerlasting ouerthrow and an vnrecouerable confusion Though there be many Newters which haue made a couenant with their owne heartes rather to be of all religions and to serue al times then to endure the least danger yet there are an infinite number of true Christians that by his grace to die for it will neuer bow the Knee too Baall will neuer pertake with the table of God and the table of deuilles 1. Kinges 19. will neuer draw in that vnequall yoke togeather with such Infidelles These shal neither the swoordes of Hazael nor of Ichu or of Elisha once touch for they are marked of the Lorde And if the woorde of God be sure as him selfe and hee haue ioyned himselfe as head too vs his members why shoulde we feare If our head liue we shall liue if he be ascended we his members shal be drawen vp vnto him Our blood shal be of strength too breake all their cheines The shame slaunder and reproche that they lay vpon vs shal be our greatest glory and our innocency laide to theyr crueltie shal be strong enough to set the seale of true happinesse vpon vs for suffering for righteousnesse sake and of wretched confusion vpon
in vs. This in the iudgement of man is a doctrine quite contrary I confesse it and also when Iesus Christ pronouÌ„ceth Mat. 5.10 that they that suffer persecutioÌ„ for righteousnes sake are blessed he propouÌ„deth a sentence which is not easily receiued in the world CoÌ„trariwise he wold that we shold esteeme that to be our chiefest happines which our vnderstanding would iudge to be our greatest misery It seemeth vnto vs that we are miserable when God leaueth vs to be troaden downe by the Tyranny and crueltie of our enimies but the want is that we looke not vnto the promises of GOD the which certifie vs that all shall turne to our good We are throwen downe seeing the wicked stronger then we and to set their feete vpon our throte but suche a confusion as S. Paule saith ought rather to lift vs vpon high Forasmuch as we are to to muche giuen too imbusie our selues with the preseÌ„t things of the world God in suffering that the good are euill intreated and that the wicked haue their sway sheweth vs by euideÌ„t signes that a day shal come wherin al that is now confused shal be reformed If the time seeme long vnto vs let vs run to the remedie and not flatter our selues in our vice for it is certaine that we haue no faith at all vnlesse we lift vp the eyes of our soules to the comming of our Sauiour Iesus Christe Now God to the end he might leaue no meane vnattempted whiche myght be fyt to driue vs forwarde he setteth before vs the promises on the one side and his threatninges on the other Doe we thinke that the promyses haue not power enough in vs let vs ioyne the threatnings for too strengthen them It is very true that wee must bee so muche the more peruerse and froward not too adioyne more fayth then wee doo too the promyses of GOD when the Lorde Iesus sayeth that hee will auowe and acknowledge vs before his father Mat. 10.32 so that we confesse him before men And what is there that ought to let vs that we shoulde not yeeld him that confession that he requireth Luke 12.8 When men shal haue doone their vttermost they can doe no woorse but murder vs. And what shall eternall life be in comparison thereof I heape not not vp heere all the promises conteined in the Scriptures which tende to one and the same ende yet forasmuch as they are so ofteÌ„ times repeated we ought wholy to stay vppon them But if when the plague hang ouer our heades if three or foure be not enough one whole hundred wil not serue to make vs to ouercome all aduersitie and contrary temptations But if God can not drawe vs vnto him selfe through gentlenesse must wee not bee more then beetle blockish heades when his seuere threatninges can do no more therein Luke 9 26. Iesus Christe citeth all those before his father who shall through feare of bodyly death deny the trueth and saith that both the body and soule Mat. 10.3 shall be throwen too perdition And in an other place hee sayth that he will deny all those that shall deny him before men vnlesse that wee bee too muche bereaued of all vnderstanding these woordes ought to make our hear to stande vpright vppon our heades Howsoeuer it be when wee shal not bee moued therewith as were meete there remayneth nothing for vs but an horrible confusion For in tha tthat all the woordes of Iesus Christ do so little profite vs we are conuinced of too to great infidelitie Wee shall haue alleadged too godly purpose that there is some pitie in vs forasmuche as our nature is so brittle Heb. 11.25 For it is said contrariwise that Moises lookyng vnto GOD through faith was strengthned not to bow vnder any tentation Wherfore when we are so soft and flexible yea that there is no zeale and constancie in vs it is a signe that wee are vtterly ignoraunt both of God and his kingdome When it is shewed vs that wee ought to be ioyned to our head we thinke that we haue a goodly coulour to exempte our selues from it by saying that wee are men But they which haue gone before vs who were they It is true that when we shall not haue the pure doctrine al the excuses that we can bring foorth shall be vaine but hauing so many examples which ought too serue for the greater approbation so much the more are we to be condemned But heere we haue twoo pointes to be considered The first is that all the body of the Church generally was and shal be alwayes subiect till the ende to be afflicted by the wicked as it is saide in the Psalme Psal 12â— 1.2 They haue vexed me from my youth vp they haue drawen the Ploâ—e vpon me from one ende to another The holy Ghoste bringeth in the olde Church speaking to the ende that we after wee haue knowen the afflictions thereof we should not finde it straunge or troublesom if the like at this day be done vnto vs. Sainct Paule also drawing this place from an other Psalme where it is said Wee haue beene as sheepe that are led to the slaughter Rom. 8.36 sheweth that this was not for one age alone Psa 44. 23 but that it is and shal be ordinary and vsuall in the Church So seeing the Church of God to beat this day troaden vnder by the pride of worldelings that one barketh another byteth that men torment it and alwayes mischieuously deuise against it that without ceasing it is assayled of madde Dogges and sauage beastes let vs remember that this was doone vnto it of olde time It is true that God may wel geue it sometimes certain truses and releasements And this is it that is sayde in the Psalme before alleadged hee cutteth asunder the cordes of the wicked And in an other place that he wyll breake theyr stuffe for feare that the good doe not ouermuch vexe them selues beeing too muche oppressed But God woulde alwayes that his Churche shoulde bee tossed in this world and be as it were in a continuall conflicte reseruyng reste for it aboue in the heauens Notwithstanding that yet the issue of these aflictions was alwayes blessed and at the least GOD brought to passe that being oppressed with many euyls it was neuer vtterly oppressed as it is sayde that the wicked with al their forces neuer attained to that Psalm 7.15 which they immagined Saint Paule also reioyseth him selfe of the like too shewe that this is a continuall grace of God 2. Cor. 4.12 We sayth he endure tribulations but we are not there with distressed wee are poore but we are not destitute we are persecuted but we are not forsaken we are cast downe but we peryshe not euery where bearyng about in our bodies the dying of our Lorde Iesus too the ende that his life maye bee made manyfest in our mortall bodies Such issue as wee see that God hath geuen in all tymes
suche distresse shoulde aske and receiue such wisdome from aboue not folowing their carnall coūsel to seeke a way to escape as they say by any crosse or by pathes There are also which replye that our Sauiour Iesus Christ himselfe answered not to them that asked of him But I say first of al that this serueth not to abolish the rule which he hath geuē vs to make confession of our faith when we are thereto required Secondly I say that he neuer dissembled too saue his life Thirdly that he neuer gaue aunswere soo doubtfull that it did not import sufficient witnesse of that which he had spoken or rather that he had not satified them already which came to aske him further as it were laying nettes to catch him Wherfore let this point remain resolute amongst al christians that is that they ought not to accoūt their liues more deare then the testimony of the trueth inasmuch as God wil be glorified in it Is it in vaine that hee calleth all those witnesses for the worde Martyrs signifieth the same that haue answered to the enimies of the faith Is it not because hee woulde haue them serue too suche purpose And here euery one must not looke to his felow and companion For God doth not shew this honour to all to call them therto And forasmuch as wee are geuen to marke others the more we ought to take heede therof Iohn 21.18 Peter hauing heard at the mouth of our Lord Iesus Christ that he should be led in his old age whether he would not asketh what should become of Iohn his companiō There is none of vs but he would willingly make such a reply For this we imagine by and by Why do I rather suffer then others But contrariwise Iesus Christ exhorteth all in general and euery one in particular alwayes to be ready to the end that as he shall cal either one or other euery man may march forth in his rank order I haue shewed before that we shal be ill appointed to suffer Martyrdom vnlesse that we be armed with Gods promises It remaineth now that we lay out a little more fully whereto they tend not to specify al by peecemeale and exactly but to shew the principal things that god would haue vs to hope for to the end to comfort vs in our afflictions Now these are briefly 3. thinges The first is that forasmuchas our life and death are in his hand that he wil in such sort preserue vs by his power that not one heare of our heades shal fal but by his licence Wherefore the faithfull ought to hold themselues assured into whose handes soeuer they shall come that GOD hath not caste of the sauegard which he hath of theyr persones If suche a perswasion were well imprinted in our heartes we should be deliuered from the most parte of doubtes and perplexities that torment and hinder vs from dooing our duetie Wee see that Tyrantes are let loose and hereuppon it seemeth to vs that God hath no further meane too saue vs For this cause we are tempted to prouide for our selues as though there were no more waiting vppon him But contrarywise his prouidence which he hath declared vnto vs is such as ought to be vnto vs an inuincible fortresse Let vs therefore labour to learne this short sentence that our bodies are in his handes who hath created them For this cause he hath sometimes deliuered his owne after a miraculous manner and beyonde all hope of men as Sidrach Misach and Abednago from the fyery furnace Daniel from the Lions denne Peter from Herodes prison where hee was enchained fettered and kept so straightly By these examples hee woulde testifie vnto vs that he holdeth our enimies bridled though it seeme not so hath power to draw vs out euen frō the mouth middest of death whē he wil. Not because he alwaies doth it But by keeping vnto himselfe the authoritie of disposing of vs both in lyfe and death hee woulde haue vs fully resolued that he hath vs in his keeping in such sort that whether soeuer Tyrantes looke or with what fury soeuer they rushe vppon vs that it is from him onely who is the orderer of our life If he suffer Tyrants to kyll vs it is not because our liues are not deare vnto him and in greater recommendation an hundred fold then it is worthie seeing it is so that he hath pronoūced by the mouth of Dauid Psal 116.15 Esay 26.21 That the death of his Saintes is precious before him sayth also by the mouth Esay That the earth shall disclose the blood which seemed to be hidden Let the enimies therefore of the gospel be as prodigal in shedding the blood of his Martyrs as they will yet shall they render a terrible accounte euen too the last and vttermost drop They doe scornfully mock at this day when they burne the faithful after they haue bathed themselues in their blood they are so drunken therwith that they care nothing at all what murders they commit But if we haue pacience too waite God will shewe in the ende that it is not in vaine that he hath set such an high prise vpon our life In the meane time yf hee doeth vs no euill that it serueth to ratifie his Gospell which in woorthinesse surmounteth heauen earth And the better to assure vs that God leaueth vs not in the handes of Tyrantes as hauing forsaken vs let vs call too minde the sentence of Iesus Christe where he sayth Act. 9.4 that it is hee whom they persecute in his members God had well saide before by Zacharie Zach. 2.8 Hee that toucheth you toucheth the apple of myne eye But this is yet more plaine that if wee suffer for the Gospell it is as yf the sonne of GOD were there in his owne person Wherefore let vs knowe that Iesus Christe must forget him selfe if hee shoulde not thinke of vs whē wee are in prison or in daunger of death for his cause And let vs knowe that God taketh to his owne heart all the outrages that Tyrauntes do vnto vs as if they were fastened to his owne sonne Let vs come too the seconde point that GOD in his promises hath set foorth vnto vs for our consolation that is that he will so susteine vs by the power of his holy Spirite that our enimies whatsoeuer they do or Satan theyr head yet shall they not get the vpper hande ouer vs. And in deede wee see how he displayeth his graces in suche a neede For suche inuincible constancie as is in the true martyres is a sufficient shewe that GOD worketh mightily in them There are two greeuous thinges to the flesh in persecutions too wit the one the rebukes and shame of men and the other the tormentes that the body endureth But GOD promiseth vs suche assistaunce that through patience we shal ouercome both the one the other And he perfourmeth indeede that which he hath promysed vnto vs.
greater dignitie to haue some corner among the common people of the Churche then to be greately esteemed or too rule in any other place Notwithstanding the Prophete admonisheth vs from whence it is that suche a benefite proceedeth that they which were straungers should so sodenly be brought into the Church to wit of the free gifte of God And in deed they which are the slaues of Sathan and of sinne can neuer gette by their owne diligence any such title and right to be Citizens of heauen It is therefore God onely which distributeth according to his owne good pleasure peoples in their orders seuereth them one from the other as it seemeth good vnto him forasmuch as the condition is equall and alike in all by nature The enroulement whereof he speaketh here is too bee vnderstood of the calling whereby God declareth who are those that hee hath chosen For although that hee hath written his children in the booke of life before the creation of the worlde yet notwithstanding hee solempnly setteth them downe in his register when hee geueth them the marke of his adoption calling them to his trueth and renuing them by his spirite vers 7. As well the fingers as the Players on instrumentes all my springes are in thee Partly the shortnes of this sentence causeth it to be doubtful partly the doubtfull signification of the worde All expositors agree very well in this that the worde spring or fouÌ„taine is taken hereby a Metaphor or similitude But one sort apply it to the affection of the heart other some to the inward thoughtes There are also whiche translate it Veines or Melodies whose opinion I would wel allow of if the propriety of the Hebrwe tongue woulde suffer it but because that this is somewhat wrested I tye my selfe to that which is more proper and naturall and that is that the Prophet by this woorde signifieth the eyes or the looke As if he should say I haue alwayes my sight fixed and fastened vpon thee For the roote of the Hebrew word signifieth an eye It remaineth therfore to see what that other member signifieth aswell the fingers as the players on instruments This is a very abrupt senteÌ„ce but this letteth not but that men may easily gather the meaning therof to wit that there shal be so large an argumeÌ„t of ioy in the church after that it shal be restored that the prayses of God shall sounde foorth there without ceasing aswel of the voyce as of the instrumentes of musick He coÌ„firmeth therefore that which he had saide before of that glorious repayring of Sion and of Hierusalem thereby shewing that for the great felicitie which shal be there men shal haue occasion to reioyse too sing and too prayse God for euer In the meane season he sheweth also to what end and purpose God so liberally enricheth his Church with his giftes and graces to wit that the faithfull might shew forth by hymnes and prayses and songes that they are not vnthankeful towardes him On the other side wee haue to note the zeale the loue and carefulnesse and affection of the Prophet towardâ—â— the Châ—â—che For he geueth testimony thereof too the end to exhort vs al too followe hiâ— example as it is sayde in an other place let my right hande be forgotten if Hierusalem be not the chiefe of my ioy Now then all our senses and affections rest them selues in the Church Psaâ—â— â— when as we labour too withdrawe them from the vanities of this world which cause them to wander and stray The which thing is doone when in despising of the honours delightes riches and pompes of this worlde we learne too content our selues with that spirituall glory of the kingdome of Christe FINIS ⧠Imprinted at London at the three Cranes in the Vinetree by Thomas Dawson for Thomas Man 1579.
