of IESVS SVNDAY Of Christs Humility 1. COnsider the humility which the Son of God manifested in his Incarnation in which for thee he annihilated himselfe taking vpon him the form of a seruant the Lord of Maiesty became thy seruant to do thee seruice he came downe heauen where the Angells were attendant vpon him for an ample testimony of his humble seruice to thee he pleased to be borne in a stable 2. Consider how this Lord of heauen a while after hūbled himselfe much more in his Natiuity when first he subiected his most tender and delicate body to circumcision and declared himselfe as a sinner and standing in need of a remedy for Circumcision was a signe of sin and a remedy against it he vouchsafed to nūber himselfe among sinners al the world beholding it and how more vile and abiect could he make himselfe then to take vpon him the forme of a seruant and to be borne in a stable 3. Consider the great affection of humility that our Sauiour exercised in Iordan when he pleased to be baptized by S. Iohn Baptist where contemning his own reputation he stood amiddest base persons and sinners was baptized by his Precursour as one of the multitude and more contemptible sort 4. Consider how in his last supper girding himselfe with a lynnen cloth and falling downe vpon his knees before euery one of his Apostls he washed their feet At the strangenes of which fact they were so astonished and confounded as that S. Peter meruailing at it more then the rest that the Sonne of God abased himselfe so farre would not that he should wash his feet 5. Consider the humility that the King of Glory declared in his death when he disdayned not to be crucifyed out of Hierusalem in the midst betweene two theeues in the feast of the Pasche whither the people were come from all partes in great number by reasō of the feast where he made a representation of the shamefullnes of his most ignominious death to the view of the whole world when as at another tyme he made a manifestation of some little part of his glory to three of his discipls alone in the desert neither yet while he liued would speake any word at al touching this matter This Meditation being ended you that turne the eyes of your mind vpō your selfe and you shall stir vp these 〈◊〉 most profitable and practicall documents 1. SInce that the K. of heauē my Lord hath humbled himselfe so many waies is it meet that I the seruant and a most vile worme of the earth should extold my selfe 2. Neither ought I to make outwardly any more reckoning of my selfe then I am in very deed 3. Neither is it meet that for the conseruing and entertaining of a vaine reputation of my name credit I should abandon or giue ouer the care of my soule 4. I must not in any sort withdrawe my selfe frō the exercise of those thinges which I haue giuen ouer 5. I ought not also to conceale and keep hidden those thinges that may serue for my mortification or to propose to the view of all men those thinges that are wonte to turne to my honour MVNDAY Of the Obedience of Christ. 1. COnsider what the Apostle saith of Christ He was made obediēt euen vnto death yea to obey the precepts of the law wherunto he was not bound at all he refused no aduersityes torments ignominyes such as he suffered in his circumcision and in his whole sacred passion 2. Consider how he being the only Sonne of God and the wisedome of the Eternall Father was most obedient to his Mother and to S. Ioseph his reputed Father And though he were for infinite causes more holy more wise then they yet he neuer resisted against that they commāded nor murmured against them nor censured them but with greatest humility promptitude executed and did whatsoeuer they commanded him 3. Consider the great affection wherwith our Sauiour tēdred the vertue of Obedience for which from the very beginning he protested to all that he came into the world not to do his owne will but the will of his Father And therfore in another place he called Obedience his meate and therby he signifyed that it was greatly pleasing vnto him 4. Consider how he loued obedience whiles he not only considered not the person of him who commanded nor also the difficulty of the thing commanded but was further obedient to his enemyes who tormented him in his Passion and treated him most ignominiously when they crowned him with thornes For being willed to strip himselfe of his garmentes he delayed not to doe it willed to sit downe he obeyed when the crown of thornes was put vpon his head he contradicted not and he tooke the Reed in his hand that was giuen him for a Scepter 5. Consider how the Lord of the Vniuerse obeyed without any reply or further appeale in so much as he vsed not the very least word accepted of the most vniust sentēce of death vniustly pronounced against him by his peruerse Iudges and being willed by the Ministers and officers to carry his owne Crosse he gladly did it and tooke it vpon his bruized and torne shoulders and with it vpon his necke as another obedient Isaac he went vp to mount Caluary there to be sacrificed for our sinnes The documents that may be gathered of this Meditation be that we omit nothing defectiue against obedience 1 SInce the Sonne of God without any obligation at all obeyed with so great promptitude what shall be my punishment if I shall not be obedient vnto him to whome I am bound 2. How grieuous shal my sinne be if I shall peraduenture murmure or rise against the commandmentes of them who haue power ouer me 3. What excuse can I pretend if for the doing of myne owne will I neglect the will and pleasure of my Lord God 4. How great a shame and confusion will it be to me if that I may not endure any aduersity I shall contemne to obey 5. Who shall exempt me from confusion and fault if I shall iarre and contend with him who is my Superiour if which is worse I shal censure that vniust which is cōmanded me TVESDAY Of Christ his Patience 1. COnsider how Christ our lord from the very instant that he came into the world began to exercise patience For when there was not any found in all Bethleem that would receaue his Mother into their house he was forced to make choice of a poore Cot for the place of his natiuity where the Manger serued for his bed cradle to lye in Consider what manner of intertainment he had when his Mother was but a yong Virgin a poore stranger and wearyed by the payns of her long iourney in the midest of winter in a poore stable in the night tyme and from home and out of her countrey 2. Consider how he was no sooner borne thē that he was persecuted when
