Tim. 2. The woman shal be saued through bearyng of children if she continue in fayth loue and sanctification with sobernes And Christe saythe The woman Ioh. 16. when she trauayleth is in sorowe bycause her hour is come But whē she hath brought forth her chylde she remembreth not her trybulation for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde ¶ A comforte for them that lamente the deade COMEN honestie and charitie of our neyghbour requyreth that we adorne and worship the burialles of our frendes whiche slepe in the lorde with conuenient mornynge But we must not lamente and mourne of vngodlynesse and supersticion as the vnfeythefull heathen do whiche beleue not the resurrectiō of the ded which knowe not that god liueth and careth for vs althoughe our frendes dye For of theym Paule sayth 1.

Tim. 2. For Christe hath gyuen hym selfe a redētion for al.

Morne and be busy o doughter of Sion as a woman traueylinge for nowe thou shalte go forthe from the citie and shalt dwell in a region and shalte come euen to Babilon there shalt thou be delyuered there shall the lorde redeme the. Iob. 33. Teachynge them he instructeth with lernyng to pluck a man from those thinges which he hath done and to delyuer hym frome pryde Gen. 22. So Abraham was tempted to be tried that his faith mought be made noble and manifest he tempted hym and setteth forthe before vs suche example to folowe when he tempteth and trieth our faythe Iob. 1.2 So Iob was temted of the lorde that his faythe mought be made more clere So Dauid 2. Par. 13. Tobi. 2. so Manasses on euery side vexed repēted Also Tobias was therfore made blynde to gyue example of pacience to his after cōmers Likewise Iudith we ought to be myndfull howe our fathers were tempted to be tried Matth. 15. Soo it happened in the woman of Chanaan Matth. 9. And to the womanne laborynge with the issue of bloud by whiche examples we are taughte and cōfirmed to be plucked from god by no temptations by no oppressions by no chastisynges be they neuer so great but the more that god tempteth vs chasteneth and repelleth so moche the more let vs crye to hym tyll he gracyously here vs. It is therfore noo ¶ The godly are the fyrst that are afflicted and they are afflicted of god to theyr good and welthe Cap. vi Hiere 25. et 49. LO IN the citie in whiche my name is called vpon begin I to punisshe and shall ye be as innocentes and without punyshemente Ezechi 9. The lorde commaunded them that distroyed Hierusalem to begyn at his sainctuarye 1. Pet. 4. The tyme is now that iugement must begyn at the house of god If the iudgement of god begynne at the godly what ende taryeth theym whiche beleue not the gospell of god but the godly when they are punished they ar punished of god to theyr welthe and good as the epistell wrytten to the Hebrewes dothe clerely testifie Hebre. 12. Whome the lord loueth him he correcteth and he beateth euery chylde whom he receyueth if ye suffer chastisynge god offereth hym selfe vnto you as to his sonnes What sonne is he whom the father chasteth not If ye be withoute chastesynge whose partakers ar al the sonnes then are ye seruauntes and noo sonnes at al.

The people hurt of serpentes cried So he afflicteth the holy bicause they shuld not be in securite without al feare but that theyr repentance shal increase theyr faith be confyrmed when they fele them selues to be holpe Although we knowe that no man is scourged of god without his deseruyng Roma 3. For euery man is a lier and a sinner and no fleshe shall be iustified before the face of god Gen. 6. For all fleshe hath corrupted his way Wherfore al fleshe is punished and yet we knowe that not alway the godly are punished for synnes but somtyme to proue the fayth of the afflicted As Iob Dauid and many other or to declare and make manifest the maiestie of his name Soo he punysshed the Israelites in Egypt by Pharao that he might be glorified in Pharao and make his name clere in all the worlde Ioh. 9. So of the manne borne blynde from his natiuytie nother this man hath synned nor his parentes but that the workes of god moughte be manyfeste in hym And when god doth afflicte his people for theyr synnes he dothe not therfore afflycte them that by theyr afflictiōs they shuld satisfie for theyr synnes For the passion and sufferynge of Iesus Christe only is the raunsome and expiation of our synnes But therfore he afflicteth that by affliction he maye dryue synners to repentaunce For repentaunce or penance cometh fyrste by the knowlege of synne and then by faythe that our synne is forgyuen vs for goddes promise sake and of faith burgeth forthe the callinge on the name of god ¶ In tribulation we muste praye Cap. vii HERE are we taughte what a chrysten man muste doo in temptation whenne he seeth hym selfe forsaken of al men that is to praye and not to ceasse to praye but to praye in feyth mystrusting nothinge Ia. 1. for he that mystrusteth is lyke the raige of the see whiche is caried with the wynde and tossed and dryuen with vyolence Whiche thinge also Chryste warned vs of Matt. 16. sayinge Watche and praye that ye entre not into temptation So lyke wyse Salomon Sonne Eccle. 38. in thy syckenesse despyse not thy selfe but pray to the lorde and he shal heale the. Therto god hath also commaunded that we shulde in tribulation call on hym yea and calleth that inuocation or crying on hym a sacrifice the true and mooste accepted honour For so saythe the psalm Psal 49. Call to me in the day of thy trouble And he addeth promyses And I wyll delyuer the and thou shalt honour me And he sayde before in the psalm that he regarded not the oblatiōs of beastes and such other workes but that he delyteth in this sacrifice if that we cal on hym in trouble and beleue that he wyll helpe vs and when we are holpen to gyue thankes and preache his benefyte And soo lyke wyse he calleth the hope Psal 4. wherby we tary his helpe in affliction sacrifice Sacrifice you the sacrifice of iustice and hope ye in the lord as though he shulde say that hope is a sacrifice
