vs that the wicked be not enough punished here it shall 〈◊〉 woorse with them after their deathe So that it shall be a chaunge they that haue pleasure here and lyue accordyng to their desyres they shall come to afflictions in the other worlde Againe they that haue afflictions here they shall come yonder to the perpetuall sabboth where there is no maner of miseries but a perpetuall landyng and praisyng of GOD. To whome with the 〈◊〉 and the holy ghost be all honour and glorie nowe and euer worlde without ende Amen The fyfth Sermon of maister Doctour Latymers Matth. ix Luc 8. Marc. 5. WHile he spake vnto them this Behold there came a certain ruler and worshipped him saying my daughter is euen now diseased but come and laye thy hand vppon her and she shall lyue And Iesus arose and folowed hym and so dyd his disciples behold a woman which was diseased with an issue of bloud twelfe yeres cam behind him c. This is a notable storie and much comfort we shall fynde in it yf we will consider and waye it with all the circumstaunces The Euangelist Marc sayth the rulars name was Iairus he was an officer somme thynke that he was a reader of scripture as there were at that tyme or perchance he was such an officer as we cal churchwardēs which is a 〈◊〉 office in the great cities Churchwardēs can bryng much matters to passe such a great officer he was For though that Iewes had a law that they should make no sacrifices no where but at Ierusalem where the temple was al the ceremonies yet for all that they had in euery towne their churches or synagoges like as we haue churches here in England cōmonly euery towne hath a church And this word Church somtimes it signifieth the congregation the people that is gathered together somtymes it signifieth the place where the people come together continens pro contento Nowe our sauiour commyng to Capernau where that great man dwelled which was such a towne as Bristowe or Conentreis Iairus commeth vnto him in all hast and falleth downe before him Et precabatur multum and maketh greate sute vnto hym that he woulde come to his house and heale his doughter which was sycke No doubt he had heard what maner a man our sauior was and wherfore he was come into this worlde namely to saue 〈◊〉 bothe in soules and bodies and he had hearde also the generall proclamation written in the. xi chap. of Math. where our sauiour saith Come vnto me all ye that laboure and are laden and I will ease you This proclamation this Iairus had hearde and beleued it And therefore he cometh to Christ He dyd not as a great many of vs do which whan we be in trouble or sicknes or lose any thing we runne hither and thither to wyssardes or 〈◊〉 whome we call wyse men whan there is no man so foolishe and blynde as they 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 leadeth them accordyng vnto his will and pleasure and yet we runne after them sekyng ayde and comfort at their handes But this good man dyd not so he knew that god had forbidden to run to wyssards But what doothe he Mary be commeth to Christ our 〈◊〉 with a good strong and vnfained faith For as I tolde you before he had hearde before of Christ of his proclamation whiche moued hym nowe in his distresse to come vnto him And no doubt he had a good substanciall faithe as it appered by his behauiors yet he had not so good a faithe as the Centurion had which sent a message vnto hym saying Lord say but one word and my seruant shal be whole This was a wonders great faith in somuche that Christ saith Non reperi 〈◊〉 fidem in Israel I haue not foūd such a faith in al Israel But though this Iairus had not so good a faith as the Centurion had yet he hath had suche one which leadeth hym to Christ. He commeth to Christe he beleeueth that Christ is able to helpe hym and accordyng vnto his belefe it happeneth vnto hym For his doughter was healed as ye shall heare afterwarde And so vppon hym is fulfylled the Scripture Credide 〈◊〉 quod 〈◊〉 sum I haue beleued and therefore I haue spoken For looke what manne so euer hath a good faythe he wyll not holde his peace he wil speake he wyll calle for healpe at his handes For yf this Iairus hadde not hadde a good faythe he woulde not haue humbled hymselfe so muche to falle downe before such a poore man as our sauiour was Some wold haue had respect to their honors They would haue thought it skorne to fall doune before such a poore man as our sauiour was or els he would haue bene afraide of the people that were present to honor him so highly and to confesse hym to be a helper And no doubt that Iairus was in greate danger of his 〈◊〉 for Christ was not beloued amongest the Iowes therfore it was a great matter for this Iairus to honor Christ so openly before all the multitude And no doubt if he had not 〈◊〉 so good strong and earnest faith he wold not haue done as he did but he had a good strong faithe therfore he was not afraide of any thing in the worlde Now ye shall learne of this Iairus first by his ensample to go to Christ in all distresses to seke helpe by hym And also ye shall marke and obserue his greate and fatherlye loue that he hath towardes his daughter for he maketh greate sute to Christ for her whiche signifieth that he hath a greate and earnest loue towardes her The same fatherly affection and loue of the parentes towards their children is the good gift of God And god hath planted the same in their hertes And this specially for two respectes Fyrst for the childrens sake for it is an irkesome thyng to bryng vp children and not only that but also it is a chargeable thing to kepe them and to waite vpon them and preserue them from all perill if god had not planted such loue in the parentes heartes in 〈◊〉 it were impossible to doo so muche for theim but God hath planted suche loue in their heartes whiche loue taketh away all irksomnes of all labour and payne for what is a chylde whan it is left alone what can it do How is it able to lyue An other cause is wherfore god hath planted such loue in the parentes hearts towards their children that we might lerne by it what affections he beareth towards vs. for though the loue of parentes towardes their children bee very great yet the loue of god towards vs is greater yea his loue towardes vs passeth farre all fatherly loue which they haue towardes their children And though Christ only be the very naturall sonne of god yet with his deathe and passion he hath merited that we be the chosen children of god For god for our

The king must not be proud ouer his brethren He must order his people with brotherly loue and charitie Here I brought in examples of proud kynges It is a great pride in kings and matestrates when they will not heare nor be conformable to the sound doctrine of God It is an other kind of pride in kinges when they thinke them selues so high so lofty that they disdayne and think it not for their honour to heare poore mens causes themselues They haue claubackes that say vnto them What sir what nede you to trouble youre selfe take you your pleasure hunt hauke daunce and dally let vs a lone we will gouerne and order the commune weale matters 〈◊〉 Wo worth them they haue ben the root of al mischief and destruction in this realme A king ought not only for to reade and study but also to praye Let him borow example at Srlomon who pleased God highly with his peticion desiring no worldly things but wisdō whiche god did not only graūt him but because he asked wisdō he gaue him many mo things 〈◊〉 riches honoure such like Oh how it pleased God that he asked wisdom And after he had geuen him this wisdom he sent him also occasion to vse that same by a couple of strūpets Here I told an exāple of a meke king who so continued vntill he came into the cōpany of straunge women He heard them not by meanes or by any other but in his owne perso I think verely the naturall mother had neuer had her owne childe if he had not herd the cause him self They were Meritrises Hoores al though some excuseth the matter and say they were but tipplers such as kepe alehouses But it is but foly to excuse them seing the Jewes were suche and not vnlike but they had their stewes and the maintenaunce of whordome as they had of other vices One thinge I must here desier you to reform my Lords you haue put downe the stewes But I pray you what is the matter a mended what a vayleth that ye haue but chaunged the place and not takē the whordom away God should be honored euerywhere For the scripture sayth Domini est terra et plenitudo eius The earth and the lande is the Lordes What place shoulde be then within a christian realme left for to dishonour God I must nedes shew you such newes as I here For thoughe I see it not my self not withstanding it cometh faster to me then I would wish I doo as S.
