alreadie disposed to repentaunce of the which as before I sayd this Declina Ã malo auoyd euill is the first part I would propound these few points for their consideration First the enormity of sin in the which there is nothing but all kinde of things that should terrefie a man for before that man by suggestion of the Serpent transgressed the commaundement of God what death nay what dreame of death had man being created immortall 1. Cor. 15. Nowe death the last enemie that shall bee destroyed is most irrigular and enormous and most aduersant vnto Rom. 5. the life of man Death commeth by sinne for by a man came sinne and by sin came death into the worlde There is no worldling that is not afrayed of death But it is a woÌ„der that the worldlings are not afraid of that thing which causeth death Perswaded I am that if a mans eye were so spirituall to see things corporall a man would abhorre the sight of any sinne were it neuer so small A man that hath a care of neatnesse and cleanlinesse in apparaile can not abide the least moat in the world or the least spot that may be imagined in any part of his apparell and all this is because he would not offend the eyes of men But a man that is little lesse in degree then the Angels and made for Psal 8. the praise of his creator who regardeth not the bodie but maketh an account of the soule hath no regard of the decking of his soule but onely followeth the lustfull delights of the flesh If then men bee so diligent in brushing and cleansing of their garments that they should not offende the eyes of carnall men doth it not behooue thee to take heed that the garments of thy soule be not defiled with the most filthie spots of sin in the sight of Almightie God Secondly let him that loueth his own saluation alwayes diligently consider the frail estate of this world And let him weigh how short all carnal delights are That man will quickly abhor the way of sinne which considereth that the pleasure of the flesh is verie short but the paine that is due vnto it to bee eternall The worlde passeth awaie and the desire thereof 1. Ioh. 2. and all men passe awaie by death and no man is permitted to staie long in this worlde for what is the worlde but a great deepe and a troublesome Sea in the which there are so manie monsters of sinne as there bee euill desires in men O false deceiptfull and impure worlde which so fowlly doost deceyue those that trust in thee and doost drowne those that doe followe thee in the depth of hell How happie are those that contemne thee for Christ his sake And making a comfortable diuision doe speedilie depart from thy vanities whatsoeuer wee see in the worlde is vanitie and euerie louer of the worlde is vaine and shall quickly be corrupted Thinke that you shall quicklie die for nothing doth so much withdraw a man from sinne as the often and diligent meditation of Ies Syra death for it is sayd Remember thy latter end and thou shalt neuer sinne the necessitie of death beeing thought vpon diligently dooth terrifie the minde and keepeth it from sinne Thirdly the meditation or thinking vpon the last iudgemeÌ„t in the which al men must be presented before the iudgement seate of Christ helpeth much to the flight of sin No man can escape this terrible iudgement but we must all appeare in it of the which day of iudgement doth the Prophet say very great Ioel. 2. and terrible is the day of the Lord and who can abide it And Salomon saith All things that are done vnder the Sun Prea 21. wil the lord bring to iudgmeÌ„t c. And in Esai we reade The Lord will come to Esai 3. iudgment with the elders princes of his people And Amos wo be to them which desire the day of the Lord for why Amos. 5. doe yee wish the day of the Lorde for that day is darkenesse and not light And Sophonie pronouncing the bitternesse of that day saieth the voyce Soph. 1. of the day of the Lorde is bitter there shall the strong man bee troubled That day is a day of anger of trouble and anguish a day of calamitie and miserie a day of darknesse and blindnes a day of mist and whirlewinde in the fire of the zeale of the Lord shal all the earth bee deuoured because hee shall quickely dispatch with all the dwellers on the earth Saint Ambrose saieth that nothing is more profitable for an honest life than to thinke that he shall bee our iudge which knoweth the secretes of our heartes and is not delighted with dishonest thinges For all we as Saint Paul saith must be presented before the tribunall seate of Christ for euerie man shall receyue as hee hath doone in his bodie eyther good or euill At that terrible houre the puritie of the heart will bee more worth then the subtill perswasions of Rhetoricians a cleere conscience shall auaile more than all the money in the worlde For hee that shall iudge all things cannot bee deceyued nor by entreatie changed Fourthly the consideration of the bitternesse of the eternall paines is auaileable to the eschuing of sinne for there is not so vehement a tentation of carnall pleasure but it may bee repressed if a man thinke of the punishment that the wicked suffer in hell And here least a man should thinke that there is no hell I will make but this discourse There is no nation as Tullie saith so barbarous but it hath this sentence naturallie written in their harts Deos esse That there are Gods Nowe that there is a God by the scriptures it is manifest For saint Paule saith for the inuisible thinges of him that is his eternall Rom 1. power and Godhead are seene by the Creation of the worlde beeing considered in his workes to the intent that they should not be excused And for the singularitie of one God what dooth not Nature tell vs seeing that we see all thinges concurre to the conseruation of one whole vniuersity And Aristotle himselfe the greatest enimie of one prouidence of all thinges in the worlde dooth not onely confesse but also proue that there is one onelie Primus motor the first moouer which being granted we must say that there is a God a Creator a Conseruer a gouernor of all things and consequently a prouider for all thinges For if there be a God it is requisite that in him should be all kind of perfection So if we count it a perfection in an vnreasoble Creature to haue a care of the young that is procreated of it howe much more is it a perfection in almightie God not onely willingly and not of necessitie to create all things but also to haue a perpetual care of things created aswel visible as inuisible reasonable as vnreasonable And as the scripture Psal 145.
