Definition HOpe the very author of a Christian life tossed and turmoyled with chaunces hazards perils sorrowes myseryes calamities and troubles in this world is the assured stay and comfort of mans helpe and recouery in the Lord which hope beeing extinguished neither may chaunces casuall bee tollerate hazardes eschewed perils preuented sorrowes assuaged myseries remedied calamities comforted nor troubles restrained For as S. Paule saith this vertue Hope may well bee termed the Helmet of saluation But this hope which hee so calleth is also gouerned by the assured promises of the true God and by precise bounds is to bee discerned from

of wicked sensualitie caring not for the affliction of the poore conscience which starueth for the foode of saluation dieth naked in her sinnes and sinneth in her nakednesse of all vertue goodnesse grace and godlinesse For as the diuine prouidence of the creator of all creatures ordeyned them a time of being So hath he determined an ende for the same and as the Sabboth is the resting day after working dayes so is it a figure of the eternal rest either in ioyes perpetuall for those that liue wel here or in paines perpetual for those that liue wickedly heere Wherefore who so will rightly prouide for the rest of ioyes eternal let him with the children of Israel in the vi daies of this life time gather Manna in the desert of this worlde Exod. 16. Let them so fructifie in good examples of godly vertue that they may be readily prepared themselues and prepare others also to that blessed rest But let vs take heed of gathering wood that is to say of binding one sinne to another in this transitory Sabaoth for as the man that so did gather wood was stoned to death Deut. 5. Num. 15. so will God bee auenged of those which mispend the Sabaoth day according as it shall seeme good vnto him Wherefore let vs with the Apostles especially bestow the Sabaoth as most fit and conuenient in hearing learning the word wil and law of god Act. 13. And while we liue in the wildernesse of this world let vs so frame our liues therafter that wee may at al times seeke the glorie of God our soules health and the common comfort and commoditie of our brethren that we may rest with the Lorde of the Sabaoth in his celestial kingdome The fourth and last Arbour Immortalitie NOwe that wee haue thus laboured in the Lords Vineyard and rested in due obseruation of this appointed Sabaoth let vs lastly contemplate the ende of our labour reward of our dutiful performed paines in this Vineyard of the lord For whether we labour or no yet we liue as wee liue we die as we die we rest till the iudgement day and as we shal then be iudged so shall we receiue the iust deserued reward either for painfull true trauell the triumphant crowne of immortality either else for slouthful dissembling negligence the troublesome tormentes of neuer dying death For so hath the Lord of the Vineyarde determined with all flesh from the first creation of the world That we shal as S. Paule saith 2. Cor. 5. be al openly manifested before the tribunal seat of Christ there to receiue euery man his owne workes that he hath done in his bodie whether it be good or euil Wherefore as it is said Eccle 15. God from the beginning hath created man left him in the power of his determination he hath also enioyned him to walke in his commandementes and keepe his precepts if thou wilt keepe his commandements they shall preserue thee c. Againe he sayth The eyes of the Lord are ouer theÌ„ that feare him and he shal acknowledge euery worke that man doth Yea he hath promised that the soules of the righteous are alreadie in the hands of God after their rest in the graue and no torment of death shal touch them Sapi. 3.

Wherefore whiles we liue in this mortalitie of the flesh let vs so labour in al vertuous and godly conuersation that we may find rest vnto our soules for euer in the lord To this ende let vs run the race of mortalitie that we may receiue the reward layde vp in store for vs by the Lord and giuer of life euen the incorruptible crowne of immortalitie that as true labourers we may bee able to stande before the face of our workemaister Lorde and ouerseer Christ Iesus receiue euery one according to his dayes labour Mat. 20 That so still as profitable seruants we may be found working when our maister shall come Mar. 13.
