A86400	The [H]istory of the [l]ife and death [of] that antient father of the church, [D]r. Joh. Thauler [who] lived at Colen [sic] in Germany in the year of [Ou]r Lord, 1346, where he was in a [m]iraculous manner turned from his vain conversation to an extraordinary degree [of] holiness of life : [toge]ther with many of his precepts ... / [f]aithfully translated out of Latine.		1663 (1663)	Wing H2167A; ESTC R43640	67,974	161

of this if these Women go on in those courses and actions in which at present they live I know not what will become of them For they not once only as Eve did do transgress the Divine Commandment but too too oft in divers manners at divers times and seasons Wherefore ye proud foolish and rash Women repent at last I beseech you especially since ye know that the Lord of Majesty whom ye offend by your iniquities hath so grievously taken vengeance upon Eve for sin yea also and doth yet daily even too severely take vengeance as ye in the pains and distresses of child-bearing learn by your own experience Repent Repent I say ye Women beloved in Christ Otherwise except ye so do certain it is ye lead too too dangerous a Lise And truly it is a thing much to be bewailed and a thing exceeding pernicious and dangerous that we who attend upon the hearing of confessions should connive at such things in you whereby we are exposed to as great danger as your selves But your Husbands stand in greater danger who imitate Adam in indulging conniving and permitting you not once but frequently to play the Eves But hear me thou who ever art such a Husband such an Adam Certainly God hath not committed unto thee thy Eve for this reason that thou shouldest suffer her so oft to violate his commands but rather for this cause hath he given her unto thee that thou shouldest keep her and take such care of her as not to suffer her to neglect so much as one precept But now thou dost very carefully regard her who when thou oughtest to hinder sin art a helper of her to commit sin But whilst you connive at those evils which she committeth you your self are not innocent but are partaker of her sins and so oft trangress the Divine Commandment I exceedingly fear Beloved that at this time there may be found some Consessors who fear not to administer the Holy Sacraments to very many both Men and Woman whom notwithstanding they know to lye in some mortal sins And most of these as I fear at the end of their lives are drowned in the depths of dispair and so incur the miseries of perpetual damnation For the Devils are very busie about such like worldly men when they come to dye For they grievously set before them all the sins which ever they committed And what heart think ye can those wretches have then when they have their whole life long been given to this fallacious World and when the Devils are so exceeding subtile and full of craft to deceive Now therefore dearly Beloved if any of you know themselves guilty in any of these things let them blush I beseech you before God and Men and make hast to reform themselves For it is certain that many Jews and Pagans are not a little scandalized at your lives Yea verily the Pagans when they hear that Men and Women among us are cloathed so shamefully and immodestly they as I have been informed by those that heard them say thus Christians probably are not true men because they go cloathed so like beasts but peradventure have something in them of the nature of beasts And ye all know that the Jews dwell among us here in our Country Who when they hear and they hear it but too often how in juriously we treat God by our impious and horrible swearing say as it hath been told me by others nay and as I have heard my self when upon a time I spake with them concerning our Christian Faith they thus say Can we believe that he is our God whom you say is your God Certainly we are thus perswaded that if your God were of so great power he would in no wise permit nor suffer it to go unpunished that you oft do so impiously deal with him with wrathful minds too oft fwearing and for-swearing Doubtless if he were God he would never bear it Wherefore ye need not doubt but ye unmeasurably sin whoever give the reigns to your tongues thus impiously to swear Believe me God will not suffer this long to go unrevenged but either here or in the World to come where sins are too too bitterly punished will take vengeance on you for it And you unchast Women who wear so lascivious and wicked habits take it for certain that the most pure and great God will speedily punish terribly the wantonness of your Garments for he will not long endure it Where is now that honest chast modest and well-ordered Conversation of yours How hath the Devil robbed you so of it almost all I fear I fear truly that God the just Judge will call you to a severe account for your impudent and sinful manner of life For he himself saith If a Man look upon a Woman or a Woman upon a Man if one lust after the other he hath then committed Adultry in his heart and now death is compleated though yet the act be not done Whither I pray shall a man turn his Eyes where he may not behold you O ye scornful Women Alas your condition on both sides is too too dangerous Ye are always blaming Adam and Eve because they broke one only Commandment though they have for that transgression suffered so many evils even to death yea and after death But it were better that instead of Adam and Eve you did reprove blame your selves seeing it is to be feared that ye have oftner by far transgressed the Commandments of God than they But whereas in this Discourse I have only mentioned Military men their wives let not therefore any one think that I intended to mark only them For truly I would put to rebuke all what ever both those that are above and those that are below the rank of Soldiers namely Merchants and their Wives and in brief all those that are upon the fore-mentioned accompt blameable of what rank or quality soever they be Again it is not a little to be feared Beloved that there are many to be found who are reputed Christians yet so live as that if they should depart out of this world in that their evil life they would find it worse with them than with the Jewes For the Jewes know no other but that they may Lawfully practise Usury to get their living But it is not at all hidden to Christians that it is sinful and unlawful to practise Usury and yet notwithstanding they do it Therefore they will be thrust below the Jews in Hell And here I would have all those in like manner to be understood who before God are Usurers and yet would not be accompted nor called so by men And lastly I here note all those who practice unjust morgaging and hunt for unlawful gains from moneyes I remember truly that I lived in such a time when it was exceeding rare and unusual to use morgaging and few at that time did practise it And if then any contracts were made with the condition of Re-emption they
