Bradford a Preacher and an example of that repentance which he dyd preach Ionas preached to Niniue repentance and al Niniue the King Princes people old and yong repented To England Bradford dyd peeache and yet doth preach repentaunce and surely England hath now much more cause to repent then it had when Bradford lyued preached repentance For all states sortes of parsons in England are now more corrupt shen they were then Let therefore now Bradfordes sermon his lyfe his death moue thée O England to repent al thy peryll I wish warne that as in Niniuie so in England al from the highest to the lowest do vnfainedly repent They which are of the Lourt they which are of the Church they whi●a are of the Citye they which are of the cuntrey Princes Prelates and people let all and euery one repent and depart from that euyll which he hath in hand and turne wholy to the Lorde And I do humbly beséech thy Maiesty oh glorious Lord Iesus which diddest come to blesse Israell turniug euery one of them from their synnes to worke now by thy spirite in our hartes the same sound repentance which the holynes dyd preache to men when thou saydest Repent for the kingdome of God is at hand This worke in vs O gracious God our Sauionr Amen And uow Reader I leaue thée to the reading and practising of that repentance which Bradford heare teacheth ¶ TO THE CHRIstian Reader Iohn Bradforde wysheth the true knowlsdge and peace of Iesus Christ our alone and omni sufficient Sauiour GReat and heauy is Gods anger against vs as the most greeuous plague of the death of our late King a Prince of all that euer was sithē Christs ascension into heauē in any Region peereles now fallen vpō vs doth prognosticate For when Gods iudgement hath begun with his Childe this our deare dearlyng let other men thinke as they can I surely cannot be perswaded otherwise but that a greeuous and bitter cup of Gods vengeaneis ready to be poured out for ve English men to drinke of The whelpe God hath beaten to fray the bandeg Iudgement is begun at Gode house In Gods mercy to himwardes he is taken away that his eyes should not sée the miseries which we shall feele He was to good to tary with vs so wicked so froward so peruers so obstinate so malicious so hipocriticall fo couetous vncleane vntrue proude and carnall a generation I wyll not go about to paynt vs out in our colours All the world which neuer saw England by hearesay seeeth England God by his plagues and vengeaunce I feare me wyll paynt vs out and point vs out We haue so mocked with him and his Gospel that we shall féele it is no bourding with him ¶ Of long tyme we haue couered our couetousnes and carnalitie vnder the cloke of his Gospell so that all men shal see vs to our shame when he shall take his Gospel away geue it to a people y wil bring forth y fruites of it then shal we appeare as we be To let his Gospel tary with vs he cannot for we despise it contemne it are giu●ted with it We disdaine his Manna it is but a vile meate thinke we We would be againe in Egypt and s●t by the greasy steshpots to eute againe our Garlike Onions and Léekes ●ithens Gods Gospell came amongest vs we say now he had neuer plenty therefore againe let vs go and woyrship the Queene of heauen Chyldren begynne to gather stickes the Fathers kindle the fire and the women make the cakes to offer to the Quéene of heauen to prouoke the Lord to anger The earth cannot abide now the wordes Sermons of Anios the cause of all rebelliou is Amos his preaching It is Paule and his felowes that makes all out of order Sumnia the Gospel is now 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the out cast eursse of the Realme so are the Preachers therefore out of the doores with them So that I say God cannot let his Gospell tary with vs but must néedes take it away to do vs some pleasure therein for so shall we thinke for a tyme as the Sodomitanes thought when Lot departed frō them as the ol● world thought when Noe crept into his Arke as the Ierosolomitanes thought whē the Apostels went thence to P●●tis Then w●r they mery then was at pastime When Moises was absent then went they to eating and drinking and rose againe ●● play Then was all peace all was wel nothing amysse But alas sodainlye came the floud and drowned them Gods wrath wared hote against them Then was weale away mourning and woe then was crying out wringing of hands renting of clothes sobbing and fighyng for the miseries fallen out of the which they could not scape But oh ye mourners and cryers out ye renters of clothes why mourne ye What is the cause of your misery The Gospell is gone Gods word is little preached you were not disquieted with it Noe troubleth you not Lot is departed the Apostels are gone What uow is the cause of these your miseries Wyl you at the length confesse it is your syunes Nay now it is to late God called vpon you and you would not heare him therfore yell and cry out nowe for he wyll not heare you You bowed your eares from hearing of Gods law therefore your praier is execrable But to come againe to vs Englishmen I feare me I say for our vnthaukfulues sake for our impietie and wyeednes as God hath taken away our King so wyll he take away his Gospel yea so we would haue it then should all be well thinke many Well if he take that away for a tyme perchaunce we shall be qutel but at length we shall féele the want to our wee at length he wyll haue at vs as at Sodeme at Ierusalem and other places And now he beginneth to brue such a bruing wherin one of vs is lyke to destroy an other and so make an open gappe for forren enemies to deuour vs and destroy vs The father is agaynst the sonne the brother against the brother and Lord with what conscience Oh be thou mercyfull vnto vs and in thine anger remember thy mercy suffer thy selfe to be intreated be reconciled vnto vs nay reconcile vs vnto thée Oh thou God of iustice iudge iustly oh thou Sonne of God which camest to destroy the works of Satan destroy hys furours nowe smoking and almost set on fyre in this Realme We haue syuned we haue synned and therefore art thou angry O be not angry for euer Geue vs peace peace peace in the Lord set vs to w●● against synne against Satan against our carnall desires and geue vs the victory this way Thys victorye we obtayne by faith This faith is not without repentaunce as her Gentlemau Ussher before her Before her I say

with the Church all the good that euer it or any member of it had hath or shall haue This is the cōmunion of Sainctus which we beleue in our Creede which hath wayting on it remission of synnes resurrection of the flesh and lyfe enerlasting To the end that we should be most assured and certayne of all these Christ our Sauiour did institute this his Supper therfore would haue vs to vse it So that there is no man I trow which seeth not great cause of geuing thankes to God for this holy Sacrament of the Lord wherby if we worthely receine it we ought to be certayne that all our syns what soeuer they be are pardoned clearly that we are regenerate and borne agayne into a liuely hope into an inheritaunce immortall vnderiled and which can neuer wither away that bee are in the fellow shyp of God the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost that we are Gods Tenples at one with God and God at one with vs that we are mēbers of Christes Church and felowes with the Sainctes in all felicity that we are certayne of immortalitie in soule and body so of eternall lyfe then whych thyng what can be more demaunded Christ is ours and we are Christes he dwelleth in vs and we in him Oh happy eyes that see these things and most happy hartes that feele them My deare brethren let vs pray vnto the Lord to open our eyes to see these wōderfull thinges to geue vs fayth to feele them Surely we ought no lesse to bee assured of them now in the worthy receiuyng of this Sacrament then we are assured of the exteriour symboles and Sacramentes If an Angell from heauen should come and tell you these things then would you reioyce be glad And my deare hartes in the Lord I euen now though most vnwyrthy am sent of the Lord to tel you no lesse but that you worthely receiuing this Sacrament shall receiue remission of all your syns or rather certainety that they are remitted and that you are euen now Gods darlinges Temples and fellow inheritours of al the good that euer he hath Wherefore see that you geue thankes vnto the Lorde for this his great goodnes prayse hys name for euer Oh sayth one I cold be glad in very deede and geue thankes from my very hart if that I dyd worthely receiue thys sacrament But alas I am a very greuous synner I feele in my selfe very little repentance and fayth and therefore I am a frayde that I am vnworthy To the answering of thys obiection I thinke it necessarye to speake somthing of the worthy receiuing in this Sacrament in as great breuity and playnes as I can The Apostle wylleth al men to proue and examine themselues before they eate of the bread and drinke of the cup for they that eate and drinke vnworthely eate and drinke damnation Therefore this probacion and examination is necessary If men wyll try their golde and syluer whether they be coper or no is it not more necessary● that men should trye their consciences Nowe howe this should be the Papists teach amysse in sendyng vs to their auriculer confession which is impos sible The true probacion and tryall of a Christian con●cience consisteth altogether in faith and repentance Faith hath respect to the doctrine and articles of our beliefe repentance hath respect to maners conuersation Concerning the former I meane of faith we may see the Apostle teacheth vs. 2. Corint 11. Concerning the latter for our conuersation those syns which are called commonly mortall or deadly are to be remoued These syns are discerned from other syns by the Apostle Rom. 6. in saying Let not syn raygne and beare aswynge in your mortall bodies For truly then wee synne deadly when we geue ouer to synne and let it haue the bridle at his liberty when we striue not agaynstie but allow it and consent to it How be it if we striue against it if it displease vs then trulye though synne be in vs for we ought to obey God without all resistaunce or vnwillyngnes yet our syns be not of those syns which seperate vs from God but for Christes sake shall not be imputed vnto vs beleuing Therfore my dearely beloued if that your synnes doo now displease you if you purpose vnfaynedly to be enemies to iyn in your selues and in others as you may during your whole lyfe if you hope in Christ for pardon if you beleue according to the holy scriptures and articles of the Christiā fayth set forth in your Creede if I say you nowe trust in Gods mercy through Christes merites if you repent and earnestly purpose vefore God to amende your lyfe and to geue ouer yourselues to serue the Lord in holynes and righteousnes al the daies of your life although before this present you haue most greuously synned I publish vnto you that you are worthy gestes for this table you shall be welcome to Christ your syns shall be pardoned you shall be endned with hys spirit and so with communion with hym and the Father the whole Church of God Christ wyll dwell in you you shall dwell in hym for euermore Wherefore behaue your selues accordinglye wyth ioyfulnes and thankes geuing Do you nowe appeare before the Lord make cleane your houses open the dores of your hartes by repentance and faith that the Lord of hostes the kyng of glory may enter in and for euer hereafter beware of all suche thynges as myght displease the eyes of hys Maiesty Flie from syn as from a Toade come away from popery and all Antichristian religion be diligent in your vocations be diligent earnest in prayer harken to the voyce of God in hys word with reuerence lyue worthys your profession Let your lyght in your lyfe so shine that men may see your good workes and glorify your father which is in heauen As you haue beene darkenes followed the works of darknes so now henceforth be light in the Lord haue society with the workes of light Now hath God renue● hys couenaunt with you in Gods sight now are you as cleane and healed frō all your sores of synnes Go your wayes syn no more lest a worse thing happen vnto you See that your house beyng new swept be furnished with godlines and vertue and beware of idlenes lest the deuil come with seuen spirits worse then himselfe and so take his lodging and then your latter end wyll be worse then the first God our Father for the tender mercy and merites of hys soune be mercyful vnto vs forgeue vs al our syns and geue vs his holy spirit to purge cleanse sanetify vs that we may bee holye in hys sight through Christ that we now may be made ready worthy to receiue thys holy Sacrament with the fruits of the same to the full reioyning strengthening of our harts in the lord To whom be all honour glory world without ende Amen To God be all praise for euer ●il 3. 17.
