whether he deserves the name of a Martyr which dyes for such manifest impieties judge you Of all their Martyrs it may be said as once S. Austine in his 68. Epistle said of the Donatists Vivebant vt latrones honorab antur vt martyres they liue murtherers and traitours false Prophets a painted straw shall make them to bee honour'd as Martyrs Our case thankes be to God is farre differing from theirs we know whose name it is which we maintaine if ever the Lord marched before vs in a pillar of fire to shew vs the true way we are to take he doth it this day here you see the representation of his death these are those remembrances he left vs to shew how he was crucified in our cause these are they which put vs in minde what we are to do againe in his cause His Supper hee ordain'd to begirt arme vs to withstand his enemies He which is loath to put on this armour is vnwilling to fight his battaile Let no man therefore drawback when Christ offereth to assist him with such munition Let no man say I am vnworthie but put his confidence in his Saviour which makes him worthie Wee may not deceiue our selues beloved he is not vnworthy to eate his body and drinke his bloud which thinkes himselfe vnworthy for vnto such Christ saith Come vnto me all ye which are laden I will ease you but he is vnworthy which is loath to bee made worthier which is prophane in his life and meanes yet to be so which is malicious in his thoughts resolv's to cōtinue so which is covetous in his heart purposeth to abide so to thē if any be here so minded I giue this coūsell refraine frō this holy Cōmunion touch not taste not handle not those sacred resēblances of your Redeemer this Supper indeed is an armour of proofe to shield all such as do fight truly in Christ's cause but if you warre vnder the divel 's banner it will prove like Saul's armour to David it will presse you downewards it is a weapon left vs to put Satan to flight but if you fight not on God's side it will bend it selfe vpō your selues like the Midianites swords will sticke in your owne sides But I hope better things of you In Baptisme you receiv'd your presse-money were entred into your Captaine Christ Iesus his Booke then you made your first vow to fight against the world the flesh the divell you must remember if that you will be expert and able souldiers you are often to be muttered train'd often must you beare the colours often take the bread of munition during this spirituall warrefare You see as there is a prize to winne so there is a buckler to defend you food to strengthen you Courage courage therefore for Heauen for CHRIST for the Crowne of Glory it is a shame in such a multitude of those that professe CHRIST that there are so few which truly follow him that men are like Pharaoh's leane kine in the rich and plentifull pastrures of the Gospell the bloud of Martyrs was the milke which nurst the Primitiue Church in her infancie shall it be too hard for our disgestion now it was the seede of the Church out of which we sprung and shall wee grudge to tithe our selues to God in any proportion that he will accept But the Apostles are dead and those great lights of example the Patriarchs the Prophets the holy Martyrs and wee haue their sepulchres with vs yet let their hope their zeale their faith their constancy their patiēce liue I speake with more vehemency because I know not what concernes vs more then this Scripture Hee that looseth his life for my sake shall finde it Loe we stand vpon our being or not being vpon having or loosing of our soules the God of loue and peace giue vs all the spirit of zeale hope and patience that in the sweate of Iesus Christ wee may overcome all faintings of the heart all reluctations of the flesh all bitternesse of temptation To him therefore with the Father and Holy Ghost one God and three Persons be rendred all praise honour and glory now and for evermore AMEN THE DVTY AND AFFINITY OF THE FAITHFVLL LVKE 8. 21. Then came his mother and his brethren and could not come at him for the preasse And it was told him by certain which said Thy mother and thy brethren stand without desiring to see thee And he answered and said vnto them My mother and my brethren are those which heare the word of God do it WHat the occasion might bee which moued our Saviour to make this reply Interpreters on all parts doe not agree Tertullian Chrysostome and Theophylact are of opinion that Christ here tax'd his Mother and Brethren as if the scope of their comming had bin to shew their kinred with our Saviour and their authority over him Others thinke hee reprehended onely their vnseasonable and inconsiderate proclaiming of their affinity with him because by this meanes say some the divell might take an opportunity to extinguish that opinion which some a little before began to conceiue of his divinity But Hierome thinks rather he blamed by this answer him which interrupted him in his preaching as who should tempt him whether he would preferre flesh bloud before the spirituall worke of his Vocation Of all these the Popish Writers can best brooke them which cast any aspersion of a fault vpon our Lady whom the Councell of Trent in the 6.

My soule doth magnifie the Lord and my spirit hath reioyced in God my Saviour but that shee confessed her sinnes when shee acknowledged a Saviour Bellarmine therefore in his 4th booke de amissione gratiae and 16.
