himselfe so they are not content to make good vse of their goods and enioy them but they will leape into the fire euen hell fire to encrease them I will not stay to argue this point how many come by their goods no how any vse their goods but this I say with saint Iames for their goods gotten by deceit they shall weepe and howle for the miserie that shall come on them their riches gathered by oppression extortion vsurie or any other indirect vnlawfull or dishonest meanes it shall corrupt and vanish from their vses and bee as venome to their soules their gold and siluer shall canker and the rust of them shall be a witnesse against them and shall eate their flesh as it were fire these do forget what Epiphanius sayth Aurum voluptas gaudium Opes honores prospera Quacunque nos inflant Sit mane nihil sunt omniaque Gold pleasure delight riches honour whatsoeuer things we account prosperous we find dangerous they puffe vs vp and while we thinke them all things they flie from vs as nothing They remember what Horace sayth Omnesenim res virtus fama decus diuina humanaque pulchris diuitiis parent quas qui contraxerit ille claruserit fortis iustus sapiens etiārex quicquid voluit Euerie thing vertue fame renowne diuine and humane things obey faire riches which whosoeuer hath gathered he is in request he is valiant he is iust he is wise yea a king and what he list This is it that makes our worldlings so proude and pampers them so much that they neglect God and thinke not how straight their entrance is into the kingdome of heauen which is straighter then the passage of a Camell thorow the eye of a needle Our proude and pampered worldlings receyue not God They receyued him not But as mamy as did receiue him to them he gaue power to be the sonnes of God To conclude therefore if they onely that doe receiue Christ are made the sonnes of God they that receiue him not abide the children of wrath In the 23 of Mat they be our Sauiours owne wordes I would haue gathered you togither but you would not behold your habitation shall bee left vnto you desolate In saint Basill his Exametron they bee his wordes that whosoeuer receiue not Christ as he comes vnto men or into men they shall be sure to receiue him as he comes to men they that receyue not Christ in the flesh nor spirit shall vndoubtedly receiue him in iudgement A day their is appointed in which the Lord will iudge the world in righteousnesse by that man whom hee hath appointed whereof he hath giuen assurance to all men in that he hath raised him vp from the dead and set him at his right hand where he abideth with his eyes like fire his feete like burning copper his face more shining then all precious stones prepared for iudgement against the time which his father hath appoynted which time when it commeth then commeth he not riding on an Asse but on the Cherubins not with a few poore disciples but with legions of Angels not to sessions to be arraigned but to iudgement to iudge the tribes of Iudah for then is then he comes to folde vp the heauens togither like a scrowle to turne the dust of the earth into pitch and to put those people of the earth which receiued him not into scalding lime for then is then the moon shall be turned into blood the Sunne shall loose her light the starres shall change their course the vniuersall engine of the world shal be dissolued for then is then hee comes with a mightie tempest before him and a whirle wind round about him and then those miserable recusants that refused to receiue him as he came vnto them and would haue come into them cannot escape him as hee commeth to them for then they shall see and feele without them the world burning with fire within them the worme of conscience euer gnawing aboue them their vnapeasable iudge condemning them beneath them the horrible torments of hell prepared for them at their right hand their sinnes accusing them at their left hand enraged and blood-thirstie any soule-thirstie Sathan readie to execute Gods irreuocable iudgement against them and to giue them their portion with hypocrites which Du Bartis describes for bread the gall of serpents for meate the tongues of Adders for drinke the venome of Cockatrices for their habitation vtter darknesse where there is nothing but weeping wayling and gnashing of teeth for their comfort euer-liuing and neuer dying fire to burne yet not consume them for their ease euerlasting neuer-dying torments such torments as neither eye hath seene eare hath heard nor neuer entered into the heart of man And then as it wil be intollerabile apparere so will it be impossibile latere as it will be intollerable to appeare so it will be impossible to lie hid although they call vnto the moūtains to fall on them vnto the hilles to hide them the woods to shrowde them the deepe to swallow them vp it will not serue their turne although they come vnto him and say that they haue cast forth diuels in his name hee hath no more to say to them but depart from mee you wicked I know you not you knew not me in the flesh you clothed me not whē I was naked amongst you you fed me not when I was hungrie you gaue me not drinke when I was thirstie you lodged mee not when I was harbourlesse you visited mee not when I was in prison and therefore I know you not I regard you not because you receyued not me you knew me not in the spirit you agreed to no holy motion whensoeuer I prouoked you to righteous you accepted no godly exercise when I mooued you to goodnesse either by my preaching practizing and perswading you receyued not me and therefore I refuse you depart from my presence where there is fulnesse of ioy prouided onely for those that receiue me no ioy no comfort no fauour no pittie no compassion but annoy discomfort disgrace contempt confusion for all that receyue not Christ Iesus this is the time of lamentation desolation destruction of all those that receiue not Christ this time how soone it may come vnto the sonnes of men no man knoweth no not the Angels of heauen sauing the father onely we all know that he will come and veni●s veniet non tardabit and comming hee will come quickly not linger The leaues of the figge tree are green can the spring thē be far of all things are come to passe that are spoken of by the Prophets and Apostles touching the comming of Christ to men All ye therefore that looke for peace in Sion and hope for ioy in Ierusalem let me intreat you euen in the name of him that sent mee which is Iesus Christ the righteous who is to come as Iudge of the quicke and the dead that you bee wise and wiser then the generation of
