Sonne hath euerlasting lyfe and he that beleeueth not the sonne shall not see lyfe but the wrath of God abydeth on him And how shall wée beleue on him that we knowe not And how shal we know him but by the scriptures for in them is hée perfectly séene and knowne Gods worde and the holy ghost are the glasse wherein Christ will be beholden and with this beholding we must be content vntill him selfe come to iudgement for afterwards we shall enioye the fight of him for euer If by th● scriptures then we receyue suche vnspeakable benefite euen the sauetie of soule and body if no Christian can comfort him selfe in God Christe without the knowledge of them And therefore of meere necessitie must nedes be acquainted with thē and know howe to vse them as a chief sauegarde and defence for him against the malice of the enemie Sathan who seldome leaueth vnassaulted by one meanes or other the famely of the faithfull What haue wée then to thinke or iudge of them that by their pollicies practise to disarme vs to leaue as it were naked and weaponle● to be a pray vnto our so hateful and auncient an enemie sathan the Deuill of whose continuall endeuoure to anoy vs the stories of all tymes do enstruct teache vs For in likewise as he set him selfe agaynst our first parents and that by taking gods word out of their harts so employeth he him selfe wholy with like endeuour at all times that th● word being preached may be taken frō gods people and being greedely desirous to haue our neckes vnder his yoke as Peter witnesseth goeth about leke a roaring lyon seeking whom he may deuoure For in lyke manner as Iapheth by Ipocrisie superstition and Cayne by crueltie persecuted the true church vsurping vnto them selues the tytle of the church and changed the true woorshippinge of God into heathenish Ipocrisie and superstition and as the enuious Philistines stopped the welles of Abraham filling thē with earth to put the memorial of them out of mynd that they might challenge the ground Euen so at all times hathe ben and dayly are like practises by men estranged from God and to make hym vnknowen vnto vs by shadewinge his gospell from vs hyding couering the same with monsterous cloudes of corrupt doctrine to robbe and spoyle vs of the gospell which is the very ground of our faith in Iesus Christe alluring and forcing vs to set our affections vpon the inuentions deuyces dreames and traditions of men to bring vs to vtter confusion but woo vnto them saieth the Prophet that call euill good and good euill which make darknes light light darknes the wrath of the Lorde is kindle● against them and their karkases shal ly in the open streates like myer but thus it wil be that Christ his kingdome shall alwayes haue enemies according to the fyrst promys The seede of the Serpent shal lye in w●ite for the séede of the woman and true this is the storie of the church from thenceforth that the séede was promised vnto this present day teacheth vs for where so euer is an Abell there is also some a Cain where soeuer is an Isaac ther is also an Ismael wher is a Iacob there is also some Esau or other where is a Dauid there is also a Saul where is a Christe there is also a Iudas and whereas is a Paule ther is some Nero. And wée muste not looke to haue it otherwyse for Sathan lyeth alwayes in wayte for Christ his churche which he endeuoureth eyther vtterly to abolishe or els to defile it with wicked doctrine and manners But now behold I pray you a pleasant Allegory for here shal ye haue the state and Image of the church as it were paynted out The sea is the world the Ship is the church the deuill is the winde the Disciples are the godly companie of beléeuers Christe is the truth and the gospell is fayth And firste note that before Christe with his Disciples entered into the Ship the sea was calme which is to be vnderstand the world slept soundly in his own sins but as soone as Christe entered into the ship there arose a mighty tempest in so much as the ship séemed to be ouerwhelmed but what ensued Christ ther who could comaund the sea and wyndes and heare wee maye learne that out of this little ship that is to say the church ther is no sauegard but yit it behoueth vs to looke wel about vs heere that wee take not our enemies ship for the true ship for they haue subtelly wrought to deceyue vs The enemies Ship is better decked and garnished outwardly and of greater receyte within but the trwe ship hath her decking inwardly hath a much more stately master namely the holy ghost all the maryne●s that it hath are godly it hath the worde of god and the sacraments in right vse obedience to the ministery and with these treasures this ship holdeth it selfe contented in so great waues and boisterous billows For ye must know that this ship saileth not in the calme sea but is tossed with the waues and sourges whiche dryues and tosses it hither and thither which thing to be moste true the storie of the worlde sheweth when god had made the world he put his ship in the middest of it And by and by the deuill the enemy of Gods sonne tossed it with stormes which frō thence forth was miserably turmoyled vnto the tyme of Noe. And after Noe to Abrahams tyme from Abrahams too Moyses and from thence to Christ his time who to the intent to saue the ship came into the worlde yet s●aced not the wau●s therof as then But what is the cause that the world cannot abyde this little ship truely because the church reproueth the workes of the world blam●th the worldly ●yse men of folly condemneth the righteous men as gilty of sinne aduaunceth not rich men but pronounceth them vnhappy and wretched onles true godlynesse be the gouernour and ruler of theyr ryches And this the Christ promised whē he said the holy ghost shal reproue the world of sin of righteousnes and of iudgment But if a questiō might be now asked what had Abel offend●d Cain who horribly murdered him Iohn aunswereth Abels woorkes were good and his Brothers euill What had Noe done wherin had Ieremy offended what and wher in had Esai trāsgressed and what Christ in whō was no sinne to be short wher-had the Apostles or all the Martyrs frō the beginning of the world to this daye offended onles bicause they would haue brought the world back from sinne frō darkenes to light that men might liue godly honestly vprightly in the world according to the word but this is the rewarde that the world is wont to requit his benefactors with all but as the vertues of childr●n haue very large promises of good successe in this lyfe So the vices in children w●iche fight against these vertues haue threatnings of most
