c. Againe both publikelie abroad in such as I deale with all and priuately at home in such as I trust I finde such naughtie vnfaithfulnes such vnfaithfull naughtinesse as that I am driuen into greater choler and heate than can anie way stand with my profession of the Gospell and with the liking of my heauenly father whome I haue euer founde good vnto me and therefore iustly I stande in feare that he will punish me for such intemperancie and yet I cannot amende it Nowe I pray you let me goe no further without some comfort if you know any for so wretched and wofull a case Faith Indéede Frailtie your tearmes are too sharpe and sower For me thinke for any thing you haue yet vttered your estate is neither wretched nor woful in trueth but Christianlike if you wil lay a while away your earthly eyes and be iudged by the word of God Frailtie Ah fie fie is your feeling of my case no more then haue I vttered inough too much But see my heauie plight I am euerie way wrapped in woe and yet I am not pitied Faith Nay but staie your selfe for shame Frailtie and be not so rash And if I can not prooue what I say then be offended but if I can then as you feare God be reformed for this impaciencie in you is daungerous I say therefore againe me thinke your tentations be not strange but such as vsuallie happen to Gods déere ones and such as for anie thing I sée Jesus Christ the Sauiour of man did foretell and deliuer sure and soueraygne comfortes for while hee was here on earth in diuers places and by name in that notable Chapter of Mathewe the fifth But before I can applie the same vnto you I must knowe of you one thing concerning your first griefe namely how you féele your heart within humbled by these thinges For indéede if you be poore and bare and so forced to stoupe in outward matters to the richer and yet your heart remaine proude within you arrogant hawtie and conceited your tongue bragging the best and your vanitie euer as it can breaking out giuing testimonie what you would doe if your handes were not tyed and your hornes made shorte of purpose by the Lorde then indéede I must plainely tell you that your pouertie is a whippe of an angrie God as yet with you and it will not certainely be remoued from you in anie fauour but euen still God shall checke you and euerie neighbour either openlie or secretly mislike you For a beggers hand and a proude heart hath euer offended the eye both of God and man But if God hath giuen you this blessed grace that by this crosse of want disdaine contempt scorne and such like in your calling your soule is schooled your heart is humbled your spirite broken all your vnrulie and headie affections tamed within you verie greatly in comparison of former times so that euen truelie your conscience doth witnesse to you it is not with you as it hath béene in manie respectes and if now you find that often you are driuen to God and his prouidence by this meanes casting vp your eyes to heauen for helpe staie and succour because you finde but frosen heartes in men and falsehoode in the best fellowship lesse or more truelie then must I as plainely tel you againe and with as bolde a spirite as such a truth requires your pouertie is welth your contempt may be your comfort if euer man or woman had God their friende you may assure your soule in truth he is no foe vnto you Frailtie O Faith say not this but prooue it Comfort against pouertie Faith With a verie good will I pray you therefore marke me When Christ as I saide before was here vpon earth to gather vnto himselfe the soules of men by life and death knowing in his infinite wisedome the raine that would fal the floudes that woulde come and the windes that woulde blowe and beate vpon the houses of mē that is their faith and religion on a time his disciples being come together and much people beside out of manie places hee sate him downe and tooke as it séemeth to me this matter in hande of verie purpose deliuering out such comfortes and helpes such defences and staies as béeing of men and women rightlie applied and vsed shall euer holde vp their course and kéepe their pathes straight in the feare of the Lorde and true religion And sée amongst the manifold temptations that he sawe in wisedome would arise and be vrged by Sathan to shake men from y e trueth this of yours which nowe we speake of is the first namely pouertie Against which his heauenly voyce deliuereth out this comfort Blessed are the poore for theirs is the kingdome of God Which golden sentence laide out in fuller tearmes carieth and implieth vnto vs this sense and meaning Although earthlie mindes can frame out no felicitie vnlesse with worldly wealth their cuppe may ouerflowe yet I auouch vnto you contrarie to the wit and wisedome of them all that in my fathers kingdome blessed are the poore the poore I say againe and such as want what others wallowe in not halfe so loued of the Lorde as they Now least his meaning should be mistaken he saying no more but so and euerie spoiling vnthrift whose vnreformed heart doeth make an vnrepaired purse or idle drones that shunne the course of men and shut themselues vp in cloisters as pore that with more ease they may liue of other mens labours or anie proud heart yet wanting wealth might thinke it spoken vnto him hée more plainely hath interpreted his meaning and shewed what poore hée thinketh of namely the poore in spirite That is such as vsing godly means yet are of purpose by their God kepte vnder and being vnder doe not swel with pride arrogancie and conceit but euen as the beggar knowing his want and no way hauing of his own to trust to confesseth other mens helpe néedefull for him humbleth himself before them beggeth their aide and giueth them as instruments the praise of his liuing so they humbled tamed schooled and reformed by their want towardes all men carie a lowlie heart and onely at the Lordes handes looke for both comfort in this world and saluation in the worlde to come These poore men and women that is these that are thus affected vnder their Crosse saith Christ were their want more than euer any abode the companions of their wantes snubbes checkes taunts and such like moe and more bitter than euer anie mans were yet euen in the most of them all I pronounce them blessed and I assure them happie that euer they liued for theirs is the kingdome of God For this cause therefore I asked you howe you were affected vnder your pouertie And nowe Frailtie consider and weigh this sentence of the Lord. For ynough it is of it selfe if our incredulitie be not monstrous to comfort the hart of any man or
