called Circus or the lamentable spectale of beasts yea although the solemnity of our birth happen vpon this day let it be deferred if anie man on this day shall haue anie accesse to spectacles or vnder the pretence of priuate or publike affaires shall be an Apparitor or Sergeant to anie Iudge violating or breaking these Statutes let him loose the commoditie of warfare and runne into the prescription of attainder The holie Prophetes and Apostles commend vnto vs the hallowing of the Sabaoth the Fathers exhort vs to the same the lawes of godly Princes commaund it yet we continue in England wilfull contemners of this precept The sanctification of the Sabaoth consisteth in foure things The sanctification of the Sabaoth consisteth in 4. things First of all holy men ought to enter into the Church where the Gospell must be expounded and declared by the which the Auditorie may learn what to thinke of God what is the true seruice of God and how the name of GOD may be glorified Secondly there must be praiers petitions made vnto God for the necessitie of all men Thirdly we must extoll the goodnes of God giuing thankes for his daily and inestimable benefites which giuing of thankes excludeth foure things first contempt of God secondly forgetfulnes of God thirdly malice fourthly the abuse of Gods creatures And the sacraments must religiously be celebrated if the time occasion and custome of the Church doo so require for it is chiefly required in the fourth precept that we should diligently obserue and deuoutly exercise the holy sacraments and holy rytes of the Church being lawfull profitable and necessarie Fourthly humanitie and beneficencie must take place in the Church all men must learne daily to be beneficiall in giuing of almes priuately but to be most liberall publiquely whensoeuer necessitie of the time and opportunitie shal so require Whereas we should spend our sabboth in hearing and reading of the word of God we spend it in reading of vaine wicked pamphlets wheras we shuld then make petition to God for our necessities we wander vp downe after deceiptfull vanities wher we shuld be thankful to god especially on that day for his benefits we misspend our time in idle pastimes lastly wher we shuld be liberal to the poor we are prodigal to minstrels bearkeepers plaiers to al masters of vanities for asmuch then as al diuines godly princes haue approued the sanctification of this day now all sorts of people prophane the same the old aswel as the yōg the father aswel as the son the master aswell as the seruant the minister aswel as the auditory the magistrate with the priuate mā neither the commādement of God is feared nor the example of our maker imitated nor the admonitions of the prophets regarded nor the counsels of the apostles followed nor the reprehēsions of the fathers esteemed it cānot be but this prophanatiō of the Sabaoth so generall so frequent so continuall crieth to the Lord for a perpetuall desolation for the vengeance of eternal fire Murther also is another sinne that crieth for vengeance Gen. 4.10 The voice of thy brothers blood saith God crieth vnto me from the earth Murther a manifest sin that crieth for vengeance To loose our wealth it is greeuous but to loose our good name more greeuous but to loose our life that is most greeuous of all First it is an heinous offence that one man should kill another secondly it is more hainous when a superior killeth an inferior thirdly it is a most hainous offence when one brother killeth another as Cain killed Abel fourthly it is more detestable when a wicked man killeth a righteous fifthly that for the sincere worship of God sixtly if he doo it of a pretended hatred and seuenthly if he doo it after admonition In England man killeth man the lord the tennant the brother his brother the wicked the good that for the true worship of God and of hatred and after godly admonition Therefore as the blood of Abel cried from the earth vnto the Lord so doth the blood of the Saints shed in the late daies of Queene Marie crie for vengeance against the wicked Gen. 9.6 Who so sheddeth mans blood by man let his blood be shed for after his owne image God made man First heere wee learne that man was made to praise God whosoeuer then killeth man hindreth the glorie of God Secondly how was man created in righteousnes holines mercie truth these vertues being essentiall in God are accidentall in vs whosoeuer therefore murthereth a man destroyeth those vertues wherein man dooth participate with the nature of God Thirdly sith God made man after his owne likenesse here we learne that God loueth man aboue all the creatures of the world we ought not to hate him whom God loueth Fourthly sith man is the image of God and doth excell all creatures whosoeuer murthereth him destroyeth the most excellent workmanship of God But how little we regard these things it is manifest by the wilfull murthers often cōmitted in and about London whose blood no doubt crieth to God as Abels did out of the earth For first God is the Iudge of the quicke and the dead Secondly he is the auenger of all euill for albeit men will wink at murther yet God will not And therfore the Prophet Dauid crieth out Psal 94 1●● O God to whō vengeance belongeth thou God to whom vengeance belongeth shew thy selfe arise thou Judge of the world and reward the proud after their deseruing Thirdly the iust as Abel was do peculiarly belong to God Psal 10.16 The poore committeth himselfe to thee for thou art the helper of the fatherlesse Zach. 2.8 He that toucheth you saith the Lord toucheth the apple of mine eye Precious therefore is the blood of the Saints in Gods sight and shall be of God himselfe in time auenged Sodometrie who●dome crie for vengeance Sodometrie also and vnnatural lust crieth to God for vengeance punishment King Henry the eighth of famous memorie when he visited the Abbies of England by Thomas Lee Richard Layton and Thomas Bedel Archdeacon of Cornwall
