Almighty and sheweth vs his Fathers will comming into this world brought with him Mars that is the Gospell euen out of the bosome of his Father But wonder not that I call the Gospell Mars Christ our Sauiour saith Thinke not that I come to send peace vppon earth I come not to send peace but a sword for I am come to set a man at variance against his Father and the daughter against her mother and the daughter inlaw against her mother inlaw and a mans enemies shal be them of his owne house-holde is not this a battell ●hat shall put you to trouble saith he and kill you And of all people shall ye be hated for my name sake Therefore may the Gospell well be called Mars for where it is preached there is y● sword there is trouble persecution there will the enemies rage at the preachers thereof as for Mercurus the Poets fayne him to be the messenger and Oratour of the heathen Gods for the which cause he may well be liked vnto the world which with eloquence paynted words and outward appearance performeth the message of the deuill and entiseth men so long vntill it bring them into destruction But as Saint Iohn saith in his Epistle the world passeth away the lust thereof and as Saint Paule saith The fashion of this world passeth away therefore must we so holde vs within the feare of God that we suffer not our selues to be deceaued or seduced by Mercurius from the Sunn and Mars least we be corrupted with this deceiptful world and so be defrauded of the ioy of the euerlasting world to come Neither should the paynted wisedome of this world moue vs in asmuch as God maketh it very foolishnes and his word which séemeth to be but foolishnes in the sight of the world that sheweth he to be the onely wisedome the very power of God to the saluation of as many as beléeue therein whosoeuer now hath the Grace to perceiue and consider this let him not goe after Mercurius let him not follow the world and the beautifull lust thereof let him not enter in at the wide gate and broad way that leadeth to destruction but let him goe in at the straight gate and narrow way which is euen Iesus Christ He is the way the truth and the life The onely mercy-seate and meane to come by the fauour of God by him whosoeuer entreth he may be sure to be saued to receiue mercy finde grace and to be helped in the time of néede which God the father graunt vs for his Sonnes sake CHAP. 2. Concerning the increase or growing of fruits and the dearth of the same THe Sunne sheweth playnely that All such as feare God shall haue a very fruitfull yeare and plenteousnes in the daies of dearth in so much that though Christ send without shooes yet will he so prouide for them that they shall lacke nothing for he saith himselfe The labourer is worthy of his meate Who so now will labour shall eate but whosoeuer will not worke ought not to eate now if we labour I say we shall eate also And God said to Adam in the sweate of thy face shall thou ea●e bread but you will say to me where shall we get ●t Christ our Sauiour saith Be not careful for your life what yee shall eate or what ye shall drinke or yet for your body what ye shall put on is not the life more worth then meate and the body then rayment Behold the fowles of the Ayre for they sow not neither reape nor yet carry into the barnes and yet your heauenly father feedeth them yea he giueth to the beasts their foode and to the young Rauens that cry The eyes of all waite vpon thee and thou giuest them their meate in due season thou openest thine hand and fillest all things liuing of thy good pleasure Therefore though our hands should be alwaies occupied in some good labour yet ought not our harts to take thought what we shall eate or drinke but first to care how to seeke the kingdome of God and so shall all things necessary be ministred vnto vs. And if you would care or take thought follow the Counsell of the Apostle And this I say brethren because the time is short hereafter that they which haue wiues be as though they had none and they that weepe as though they wept not and they that reioyce as though they reioyced not they that buy as though they possessed not and they that vse this world as though they vsed it not for the fashion of this world goeth away And why should we not care because Man liueth not by bread onely but by euery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God which thing Christ our Sauiour declared manifestly in that he fedde so many people with so few loaues and fishes like as he had done before vnto the Children of Israel by the space of forty yeares in the wildernes where they wanted no thing for he himselfe fedde them and blessed them in all the works of their hands And Christ forbad vs to labour for the meat that perisheth but for the meate that endureth vnto euerlasting life Wherefore insomuch as God our mercifull father taketh such care for vs and his Apostle Peter his bidding was Cast all our care vpon him for he careth for vs as also the Psalmist Dauid Cast thy burden vpon the Lord and he will nourish thee he will not sée the righteous to fall for euer as also the holy prophet Dauid in another place Commit thy way vnto the Lord and trust in him and he shall bring it to passe wée should then by right cast all our care vpon him and faithfully to cleane vnto his word in our harts so that we neither mistrust his Godly prouision nor leade an Idle life and if we meane well in our harts and deale truely with our hands doubtles he shall send vs necessary meate by some body as he did to Elias the Prophet first in sending y● Rauens to féed him for the Rauens brought him bread and flesh in the Morning and bread flesh in the Euening and he dranke of the Riuer and secondly he fedde him by the widdowe of Sarepta Cap. eodem And like as he prouided a breakfast for Daniell amongst the Lyons by y● ministration of Abacuck This I say they that feare God shall haue plenty and aboundance of all things this yeare As for the multitude of the vngodly in generall there shall come a great dearth vppon them according to the words of a certaine true Astronomer Behold the time commeth saith the Lord God that I will send a famine in the land not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water but of hearing the word of the Lord and they shall wander from sea to sea from the North euen to the
