perswaded him selfe most certainly that he should promote him to the life light of the lord for as much as for the loue of God at his cōmaundement he should haue killed him Wey the thing that Ioschiiahu the iust kinge did who settyng at nought this wretched life aspiring to euerlastyng felicitie would not auoyde the ieopardye of hys lyfe when as as he might haue done it For althoughe Pharao Necho said he came not against him but against the kinge of the Chaldeis yet wold not Ioschiiahu heare him but rather procedinge againste Pharao in armes was slaine in the battaile and went vnto that great lights in the garden of paradise which is the lot enheritance of the iust We know that in this world no mā receiueth the reward of his righteousnesse but it is laid vp for him in the otherworld where he shall reape the frute of hys righteousnesse that he hathe sowne in this world Nether dothe longe life in this world profit a mā to thobtaining of euerlastinge blisse excepte he worke righteousnes lead his soule forthe of darknes into light like as cōtrariwise shortnesse of life hindreth no mā from euerlastinge happinesse if so be it hys soule haue no defecte in those thinges that pertein to the world to come For Abell whiche was slaine of hys brother liued no longe life yet whan he had ended it he obteined euerlastinge rest But Kain that liued longe in thys world was a wanderer a runnagate in this earth and after this life wēt to perpetual miserye Nowe therfore my brethren if we also shal liue anye longer our life shal be a miserable life and our daies daies of vanitye and trauel yea our soule as long as it shal remain in this body it shal be tossed with great ●r●bulation but if it once go forth then shall it reioyse and neuer be afraide And all the dayes that it is in the bodye it neuer linneth weepinge and mourninge for it is the spirite of life whiche is hedged in within the bodye sinnewes bones and other members none otherwise then if it were bounde with chaines The spirite is also that which quickneth the fleshe that is takē of the duste of the earthe for fleshe can not quicken the spirite Besides this the spirite is that which obserueth and marketh the fleshe and searcheth the workes therof so longe as it is in the body Yea the fleshe can not se the spirite but the spirite seeth the fleshe alwayes neither is there anye member of the bodye hidde from it The eyes also of the bod●e cā not perceiue what time the spirite resorteth to the fleshe and departeth from the same for the spirite of manne whiche is hys soule is from heauen but the fleshe is taken from the earthe Wherefore the soule maye remaine withoute the body but not likewise the bodye wythoute the soule and when the spirite comes to the flesh it visiteth it as a neighbour is wonte to goe and see his neighboure and quickeneth it and when againe it departeth from it the fleshe dieth and if the soul wil folowe the desires of the fleshe then thys is the deathe of the soule but if it geue no eare vnto the fleshe then shall the soule come to the lighte of life and the fleshe shall dye Wherfore the soule is glad whē it departeth out of the body like as one that hath bene bound is wel apaid whē he is dimissed oute of prisone for all the while that the soule is kept closed in the flesh it is as it were a slaue in mooste hard greuous bondage vnder a hard master Therfore whē it departeth frō the body it is glad because it muste go to the garden of paradise thus ye see that in this life the soule is compared to a bond seruaunt slaue Much more then this did he reason of thimmortality and blessednesse of the soule before them whiche we haue omitted here when he had done that he lamented wept moste bitterlye for the case of the city of Ierusalem saying VVhere is now the city of Ierusalē that great populous city where is that most beautiful citye of Siō that holy city which made merye the whole earth Oh thou worship of Israell the mirthe of our heartes whither is thy glory come where is thi magnificence O Ierusalem where be the hils of the doughter of Sion where be her kings and princes where be the kinges that were wonte to come to inquire of her welfare in her gates where are her sages and elders her yong and most vavaleaunt men which were iocund and mery in her stretes vpō her sabbathes festiual daies where is her famous sanctuarye the dwelling of thalmighty god where is the house of Sanctum sanctorum the habitacion of holinesse wherin no man might set his fote but the hie priest whiche in all ages onlye once a yeare entred into it But now O Ierusalem thou wast once replenished with people renowned amōgste kinges beloued of God in thee was established the seate of the kingdome of ●ustice and iudgemente whose streetes were paued with moste precious marble whose walles glisterd and shined with the same stone whose gates euerye one were plated with golde and siluer whose wals were builded with great stones moste honorablye whose priestes in the middes of the sanctuary like to angels of God and princes of holinesse with sacrifices and burnt offerings made the lord louing to thee thy people How art thou now stuffed ful of slaine men and carcases whyche haue pearished some by the sword som by famin and how are thi sonnes that dwelt in thee the straungers also the resorted vnto thee to honor thy feastes fallen now in thee How art thou fallen from the hight of thy pride how art thou set a fire and brent euen vnto thy foundations and art left desolate solitary What eye is so hard that can beholde thee what hart so stonye that can abide to see thee How art thou become a buriyng place of carkases and how are thy stretes made void and destitute of liuing creatures they whiche heretofore were replenished wyth liuing are now stuffed with dead How hath the ashes of fire couered thee that the sunne can not come at thee Howe do the aunciente men which in times past did sit in the midst of thee in the seat of wisdom iuogment and iustice now they sit by the carcases of their childrē to driue awaye crowes and beastes frō thē hauing their hoar heades be syrinkled with dust ashes in stead of their glorye And those wemen thy doughters that are lefte they remaine in the houses of thē that made thee desolate not that they may liue but to be vnhalowed and polluted who shall see all these thinges in thee and shal desire to liue rather then to die who knowing thy magnificence that thou haddest of late and nowe shall see thine ignominye and the dishonour of the same wil not chuse
