It was veryly a feruent prayer and desyre that the ryghteous dredynge God sage Simeon praysed God with as he sawe the LORDE in the temple and toke hym in hys armes The harte of y e aged man reioyced so sore at that tyme y t he could kepe the prayse of God no longer hyd in hys harte yee yf it had ben possible y e harte wold haue brusten for ioye sayeng LORD novv lettest thy seruaunt departe in peace accordynge to thy promyse As though he wolde saye Let me now departe I ame now glad to dye death shalbe now acceptable vnto me for it is fulfylled y t was promysed vnto me It myght also be vnderstaÌ„de y t Simeons desyre was not only to be delyuered of y e bodyly death but also froÌ„ all pynyng and vnquietnesse of conscience the which can be apeaced with no workes before we haue sene the anoynted of the LORDE that is before that our conscience knoweth Christ aryght For thaÌ„ waxeth a man fyrst mery thaÌ„ dyeth a man gladly and than dryueth y e holy goost awaye all grefe of conscience also whyche maketh a man restlesse God geueth some men a greate peace inwardly at the fyrste as Mary brought forth hir sonne with great ioye But such must suffre greatly afterward as Mary dyd also afterward Some suffreth God to haue grefe and pynyng of conscieÌ„ce vntyll theyr bodely death as he dyd thys Simeon but than are they contented with auauntage for all that they dyd forgo so loÌ„ge y e which is a paynful lyfe but very precious Nother were it possible for a man to endure yf Gods worde dyd not sustayne hym whervpon he wayteth vntyll that tyme that God hath chosen to thesame Now whan God veryfyeth the promyse than is it aboue measure swete vnto man and so thanketh prayseth God for it For he learneth than by true experience that God doth veryfy hys pro myses howe longe so euer he differreth it Than is the goodnesse of the LORDE yee the LORDE hymselfe very swete and he hymselfe is very wyllynge to dye In that Simeon calleth hymselfe the seruaunte of the LORDE he fyrste prayseth y e goodnesse of God that seyng he myght haue destroyed hym for his wyckednesses yet hath he wyte safe to spare hym mercyfully Secondly he confesseth hys extreme vilenesse and lowlynesse so that he haue nought in hymself that is ought worth in the syght of God but that God hath all power ouer hym ether to slay or saue and that he be vnworthy to be counted for a man before God Ther is nothyng more stronger to steare God to mercy than so to knowlege before God and to submitte theÌ„selues to hym callyng vpoÌ„ hym by fayth Wherfore Dauid stearynge God to shewe mercy doth so ofte repete the name seruauÌ„t as though he wolde saye Lyke as he that is taken in battayll or in tyme of warre and so beynge solde is a bondman and seruaunt vnto hym that bought hym Euen so I also beynge redymed by thy precious bloude from the dauÌ„ger of the deuel death and hell am euen altogether thyne owne thy seruauÌ„t thy bondman hauynge no ryght to my selfe Moreouer that Simeon sayeth accordynge to thy promyse therein doth he prayse and commende the truth of Gods promyses For the worde or promyse made vnto Simeon was that he shulde not se death before he had sene the LORDES Christ Now though ther appeared many thynges contrary to thys worde or promyse and though it semed to haue ben a vayne and fayned tayle neuerthelesse seynge all men are lyars but thou LORDE my God arte true thou fulfyllest it at the fullest that thou hast promysed and lettest me now go in peace Hether to haue I carefully abyden thy commynge and that thys many yeares and what mystrustynge dyd not the fleshe in the meane season steare me vnto What infidelite dyd not Satan inspire me wyth And because thou dyddest differre thy promyse of seynge Christ therfore was I nearehande caused to thynke that all thy promyses were vayne And good LORDE what rumoure or vproure dyd than ryse in my conscience With what engins dyd SataÌ„ assaulte my mynde layenge now my synnes before me than she wynge me an hougle image of death somtyme kyndlynge the horrible fyre of hell in myne entrayles wherewyth I was so dismade that I was nearhaÌ„de in despayre But nowe thou makeste me an happye aged man LORDE and lettest thy seruaunt departe in peace accordynge to thy promyse Now doest thou set my conscieÌ„ce at rest now shall I carelesse wayte for the bodyly death I wil now dye gladly But what is happened vnto the good father that thou arte so sodenly chaunged and where afore thou werest so sorowfull that thou arte now eueÌ„ filled with so great ioye For what cause doest thou now so leape for ioye as though thou werest reuyued which afore semedest to haue ben more than dead Surely hys ioye is not for nought Let vs therfore heare hymselfe For thys sayeth he to be the cause of hys myrth and gladnesse namely For myne eyen haue sene thy Saueoure vvhome thou hast prepared before all people Thys is the treasure y e reioyceth me maketh death acceptable to me namely That I se hym y t was vnder the law knowe hym for such one as helpeth me it can not be but I must reioyce and not be afeared for death Behold now what is hyd in the harte of the olde grayheaded father that he wyll nowe dye and
