shall goe without according to that country Prouerbe If you will not when you may when you will you shall haue nay And it is commonly seene that qualis vita finis eta as a man liueth commonly be dieth he that will liue without repentance must look to die without repentance Though God spared the thiefe at the laste gaspe yet set no man presume of that for that was a medicine against desperation and not a matter of imitation saith one God spared one that no man mighte despayre he spared but one that no man might presume Let euery man therefore in the feare of God without all delay seeke for amendmente of life Let them as Gregory wisheth Plangere plangenda Bewaile their sinnes that ought to be lamented and as they haue giuen their members as weapons of vnrighteousnes to iniquity so let them now giue them as weapons of righteousnesse to holines Repent dear brethren betimes Viue de● gratus tote mundo tumulatus crimine mundat us semper transire paratus that is Liue vnto God a thankfull

dislikement taken they would depose him from his throne and exile him into an Iland where hee should bee starued to death Now one wise fellow cōsidering hereof sent mony before into that Ilād into which he should be banished and when he was banished he was receiued into the iland with greate triumph So against thou be banished by death from this world without penny or farthing for naked thou camest naked thou must go thou must prouide whils thou art in this life whereby thou maiest liue in heauen hereafter Let nothing therfore make thee deferre thy amendment but whilest Christ calleth thee run vnto him Put on Ieromes resolution who said If my mother wete hanging about my neck if my brethren were on euery side howling and crying and if my father were on his bare knees kneeling before me to detaine mee in their wicked and sinfull course of life what woulde J doe I would shake off my mother to the groūd I woulde despise and hate all my kindred and kinsfolkes and I would tread and trample my Father vnder my feete thereby to flie to Christ when he calleth me So shouldest thou resolue the amendment of life The Lord of Heauen for his sweet Sonne Christ Iesus his sake graune to th●r deere Reader and me to both of vs his holy Spirit that we may stand vnblameable before the Iudge at that great and generall day that we beeing clothed with the long white Robes of righteousnesse

father for thy deere sonnes sake Christ Iesus our onely Lorde and Sauiour To whom with thee and the holy spirit we ascribe all power glory and dominion and stag Halleluiah to thee O blessed Trinitie

soule trance for a time the holy ghost remaineth for I feele him still Sathan Doest not thou see that god hath taken thee in hand and hath laide a heauie iudgement vpon thee Soule God indeede hath like a mercifull father taken me in hande to make mee a newe creature and like a louing father to correcte me but his mercy will he neuer take from me and no wrathful Iudgment shall be towardes me Sathan Euery Pulpit rings of thee and euery parte of scripture proclaimes thee to bee myne Soule The Lord reprooue thee sathan for this Slaunder for all scriptures and Pulpits tell me I am gods dearely bought Sathan Shewe me Gods seale for that or els thou art mine Soule I can weepe for sinne and I hate sinne in my selfe and others and I loue vertue and the vertuous which are the Armes of Christe in his seale and I find my hart formost in his place marching on to heauen Sathan This thou didst but nowe thou haste left thy first loue Soule Thou haste saide ynough for mee the loue of God is like himselfe vnchangeable his guiftes and calling are without repentance once Loue and neuer hate as once Loued and neuer hated Sathan Thou hast confessed that thou haste no such feeling in Prayer and Sermons as in times past Soule What gaynest thou by that for in Christs wooing dayes I was shewed the riches of his grace but though I see not that dayly so highly to inflame me yet Christ is neuer the poorer neither do I cease to loue him shew me any one of gods elect that feeleth his loue at al tymes alike it is not the manner of graces working thou hast no skill in graces affaires

againste my selfe the more I magnifie Gods mercy Sathan But tell mee why God will not heare the prayer Soule Sathan God hears my prayer but his delight is to heare the prayers of his Children often therefore he doth delay Sathan God careth not for such a wretch as thou art Soule The more wretch I am in thy sighte and also in mine owne the more amiable I am to him and so auoyd sathan and speake no more A short death-bed Dialogue Sathan DEath is come and I must haue thee Soule Death is welcome but thou shalt goe without mee heere are others to carry me Christ my redeemer hath sent his Angels for me Sathan Death will carrie thee to Hell Soule No he must carry me no whither but end me the Angells must carrie mee to mine owne place I haue euidence to shewe which I will not vouchsafe to shewe thee therefore auoyde Lord Iesus that hast bought me take me I doe heere surrender my selfe to thee Amen Speake not a worde more but let thine eies be closed vp in silence Morning prayer O Lord That blessest
