God hath aboundantly powred his grace among vs that haue his gospell so clearely set forth vnto vs haue such oportunitie y ● there wanteth nothing but eares to heart We must haue eares in our heartes to let it sinke But O man thrise vnhappie and children of greater damnation if wee harden our hearts and receiue such aboundance of grace in vaine The earth Saith Sainte Paule whiche after the raine of Gods grace bringeth forth thornes and briers is reproued is nigh vnto cursing whose end is to be burned Woulde God all y t be in the courte that will not vouchsafe hauing so many Godly sermons to come forth of the hall into y e chappel to heare them would remember what a heauie stroke of Gods vengance hangeth ouer all their heads y t contemne his worde and ouer those in all places which had rather be idle and many times vngodly occupied in wanton and wicked pastimes then come to the churche prophaning the Sabboth day appointed for y e seruice of God the hearing of his worde bestoweing it more wickedly then many of the Gentiles Yet if they woulde come to the sermons though their hearts were not well disposed Gods word might win them as Saint Augustine was won by the preaching of S. Ambrose when he came only to heare his sweete voice eloquence O y t they knew what dishonour they did to Christ y t esteeme him so light to preferre vaine nay I say wicked thinges to the hearing of his holye word Are not these they as Saint Paul saith which tread vnderfo●te the Sonne of God count the bloude of his testament wherin he was sanctified an vnholy thing hath done despite to the spirit of grace O Lorde howe canst thou holde thy hands from punishing this vnthankfulnesse Certainely I thinke all other wickednesse compared to this is shadowed seemeth to be lesse I would to God we would remember manye times the plagues tokens of Gods extreame wrath that came vpon the Iewes after firste vnthankfully they had reiected Christ after his word when they were destroied by Titus Uespatian such a plague as neuer came vpon any other country And looke on their vices there reigned auarice ambition pride extorsion enuie aduonterie but these reigned also in other countries aboute where no such vengance did light but then did God thus exercise his wrath vpon them to the terrour of all other for contempt of his holy worde and for their vnthankfulnesse which beeing called so many waies by his prophets by him selfe by the Apostles stil hardened their hearts This exceeded all other wickednesse in the word Nowe if as greate vnthankfulnesse be found in many of vs towards Christe his gospell set forth so plainely vnto vs how cā we without speedie repetāce but look for the terrible stroke of vēgance God saith Ual. max. hath feete of wool he commeth slowly to punish but he hath hands of yron when he commeth he striketh sore Philip King of Macedonie hearing of one in his kingdom whiche refused most vnthankfully to receiue a strāger of whom before he had bene succoured in ship wracke in extreme neede for a worthie punishmente caused to bee printed in his forehead with an hot yron these two wordes Ingratus hospes au vnthankful guest O Lorde if we consider when we were straungers from God in the ship wrack of sinne howe mercifully Christe hath deliuered vs and borne our sinnes vpon his body If after all this we moste vnthankfully refuse to receiue him by refusing of his word may we not thinke our selues worthy many hote yrons to printe our vnthankfulnesse to our shame And vndoubtly so many as continue thus vnthankful though it be not written in their forheads to put them to worldly shame yet shal it be grauen in their conscience to their euerlasting confusion and damnation When the bookes of euery mans conscience shal be layde open as Daniel saith Their iudgement shal be more straight then Sodome Gomorha which that we may auoid let vs all from the highest to the lowest pray with one accord that God may soften and prepare our heartes with meekenesse and humilitie and thankfulnesse to embrace his gospell and his holy word which shal instruct vs in his holy wil teach vs to know his businesse euery man in his vocation that as Saint Paule saith euery one may giue attendance to themselues to the flocke wherein the holy ghoste hath made them ouerseers to rule the cōgregation of God which he hath purchased with his bloud that all other rauenous Wolues may be turned to good shepheards So that Christe his ministers may enioy the portion assigned for the Gospell that all magistrates and gouernours may giue their whol studie to the weale publique and not to their priuate wealth that they may bee mainteiners of Iustice and punishers of wrong and that all inferiours may liue in due obedience meekely contenting themselues euery one in their vocation without murmuring or grudging that vnder Christe our noble prince his minister here one earth we all being knit together with Christian charitie the bonde of perfection may so fasten our eies vpon our Lode starre Gods word that it may continually bee a lanterne to our feete to guide our waies throughe the deserte and darke wildernesse of this worlde that our eyes bee neuer so blinded with shadowes of wordly thinges to make vs to embrace false deceitfull and temporall felicitie for that which is true stedfast and euerlasting that this lanterne which shineth nowe as Saint Paule saith tanquam speculum as thorough a glasse and in a darke speaking when that whiche is vnperfect shall bee taken away wee may present vs to that cleare light whiche neuer is shadowed with any darknesse that we may behold the blessed sighte of the glorious trinitie the father the sonne and the holy Ghost to whome bee all praise al honor and glorie worlde without ende Amen God saue the King Chap. 2. ver 41.
