A comfortable Sermon of Faith in temptations and afflictions Preached at S. Botulphes wythout Aldersgate in London the. xv of Februarye 1573. By Maister VVilliam Fulke Doctor of Diuinitie 1. IOHN 5. 4. ¶ All that is borne of God ouercommeth the world and this is the victorye that ouercommeth the world euen our fayth Imprinted at London by Iohn Awdeley dwellyng in little Brittaine streete without Aldersgate 1574. ¶ To the right worshipfull and godly Gentlewoman Maistres Mary Harrys Wyddow I Haue alwaies liked well as you know the plaine dealing of our friend Maister Fulke wyth the Scriptures of God which is so much the more commendable in him as he is berter able to make a shew in the perswasible wordes of mans wisedome if he were disposed For although he be ignorant of no kynde of learning by which a man might set forth him selfe vnto the world and vnderstandeth more straunge languages then a great number of our brethren yet when he sheweth the testimony of God he taketh not vpon hym to know any thing as saint Paule sayrh but Iesus Christ and him crucified For by this foolishnes of preachyng the wysedome power and goodnes of God appeareth greatest and woorketh most essectually in them that are the children of god And therefore I maruail not if you which haue heard hym and others that vse the same simplicitie in teaching do couet ro heare them still where as many are more desirous of variety to delight their itching eares then carefull of sound doctrine to conuert their synfull hartes But where as you wer not onely content to haue heard this Sermon preached once at Saynt Botulphes without Aldersgate in London but that you did instantly desire to haue the copy thereof that you might reade it often As it was godly for you to require it so it was hard for me to obtayne it For our friende wyll sooner be intreated to preach ten Sermons then to wryte one Neuerthelesse at the length by many perswasions hee was ouercome to put it in writing so that I got the copy out of hys handes which now I send vnto you not doubting but you wyll vse it both to the renuing of your own remembraunce and to the profit of many others I neede not to adde any commendation of the matter especially to you which knoweth it and as to any others I wysh them first to reade it and then to iudge of it as they shal finde it Thus I commit you to God. Yours to commaund in the lord I. Y. ¶ A Sermon preached in S. Botulphes Church without Aldersgate in London the 15 day of February 1573. by Maister Wylliam Fulke Doctor of Deuinitie Mathew 15. 21. ¶ And Iesus departing from thēce went aside into the partes of Tyre and Sydon verse 22 And behold a certain woman which was a Cananite comming out of those quarters cryed out vnto him saying Haue mercy vpon me Lord thou sonne of Dauid my daughter is pitiously tormented with a Diuell verse 23 But he answered her not a word And hys Disciples came vnto hym and besought hym saying Send her away for she cryeth after vs verse 24 But he aunswered and sayd I was not sent but to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel verse 25 Then she came and woorshipped hym saying Lord helpe me verse 26 But he answered It is not good to take the childrens bread and to cast it to Dogs verse 27 But she sayd True Lord but yet the dogs eate of the crooms that fall from theyr Lordes table verse 18 Then Iesus answered and sayd vnto her O woman great is thy fayth Be it vnto thee as thou wylt And her daughter was healed from the same houre ¶ A comfortable Sermon of fayth THis part of scripture beloued in our sauiour Christ declareth how our sauiour Christ begā to shew some bright beames of his grace vnto the Gentyls For although the ful time wer not yet come that he should shew him selfe openly vnto the whole world yet by this and such like examples he would geue some foretaste of his goodnes which afterward should be offered vniuersally Euen as the Sun before it ascende in the Mornyng aboue the vpper face of the earth where we dwell yet casteth vp some beames of hys lyght wherby we know that he shal shortly arise so our sauiour Christ by stretching forth some fruit of hys grace vnto the heathen would geue good hope of that cōmon mercye which shortly afterward was exhibited both to the Iewes and the Gentils indefferētly Which thing is both profitable and comfortable for vs that are of the Gentils to consider that we may know by what meanes degrees the Gospel which is the power of God to saluatiō was brought vnto vs Ther is also set forth in this Gospel a wonderfull commendation of a most strong inuincible faith in a woman that was a Cananite to set forth the great infidelitye ingratitude of the Iewes y wer the chosen people of God that by comparyng them together we might vnderstād how iustly the Iewes wer depriued of the promised redemption which so disdainfully reiected it beyng offered that the Heathē so willingly embraced whē they heard of it Which thing also we may note in the occasion of his departure out of the land of Iewrye into the partes of Tyre Sidon which the Euangelist discribeth to be this in the begining of this chapter The Scribes Pharises that came frō Ierusalem picked a quarel against him because his disciples did eate with vnwashed hands wherby they transgressed the tradition of the Elders our sauiour Christ in defēce of his disciples chargeth the Scribes Pharises which wer so zealous to mayntame their own ceremonies y they were careles to breake the cōmaundemēt of god And so it cōmeth to passe alwaies that they which are most earnest in vpholding defending traditions ceremonies inuented by man are most forgetful in keping the cōmaundementes of god But this is the iust iudgement of God against those that inuent a new worship of their own brain That first they léese their labour that so séeke to please God secondly that they are depriued of al right vnderstāding because they haue presumed to be wiser then god And therfore our sauiour Christ cōfuteth them by the testimonye of Esay wher God complaineth that the hiprotical people came neare vnto him with their mouth honoured him with their lyps but their hart was far frō him And in vaine do they worship me sayth God whyle they teach doctrines that are the precepts of men Therfore I wil againe do a meruelous work in this people euen a meruelous worke and a wonder for the wisedome of their wyse men shal perish and the vnderstanding of the prudent men shal be hyd And as the same Prophet threatneth in another place Their eies shall be blynded that they shall not see theyr eares stopped that they shall not heare their harts made grosse that they
