Paule deliteth in Godly and simple mindes and therfore none of the princes of this world haue atteigned it Neyther Pilate neither Annas nor Cayphas nor the Pharisees ne yet the deuelles although thei wer learned in the knowledge of worldly thynges pufte vp and proude because they knewe the lawe neither proude princes deserued to know this no nor yet the curiouse and haute Phylosophiers The .ii Corinthi This Heauenly wisdoÌ„e is the Gospel of Christ which bringeth quicke and spedy saluacion as thou maist read in the .x. to the Romains by the strength and power of it al thynges haue their beyng both in heauen and yearth This heauenly wisdome which is the very wil and testament of our sauiour Chryste putteth power efficacy and vertue in the holy sacramentes By this heaueÌ„ly wisedome whiche is the misticall holy gloriouse scriptures of Christe our solles liue and haue their spirituall norishmente Yea and in receuyng this heauenly wisedome which is the blessed word of God wee receaue the bodie of Christ here dooeth appere by these woordes an excedyng grace and vertue of the liuely woord of God Therfore whosoeuer wil consider the effectes therof and way with himself the pith thy puinctes of our christiaÌ„ religion desiryng to find fauour grace and mercie at the handes of God he must obediently al supersticion false and intermingled doctrine and wilfull ignoraunce vtterly set a part enbrace nowe Christes Gospell whiche reconcileth all menne to God as thou shalt finde in the fourth to the Galathyans this reconciliacion loue and fauour he that wold not gladly haue yf he might is to bee thoughte bothe madde and miserable for it is a thing farre aboue the beneuolence of hyghe kynges and mightie princes it is therfore most gredily to be desired Nowe truely this grace and fauour al poore men may well and easely atteigne at the handes of God whiche with simple obedient heartes reade his blessed Testament and seke forth his scriptures and all that be thus occupyed are openly pronounced to bee very acceptable in Goddes sight Accordyng to this saiyng of the holy Prophete Blessed are they that seeke forthe thy testimonies and require thy law with all their heartes By this it dooeth apere that it is requisite for al christen men eyther poore or riche to study the holy Bible and diligentely to searche forthe the wyll and pleasure of God Thou canst not denye but that thyng is pleasaunt and acceptable in the fathers sighte that causeth him to geue his sonne benedictioÌ„ for as muche as wee see daily that benediction is not giuen but vnto suche chyldren as folow their fathers mind and pleasure And that it is very nedefull that all men shoulde bee perfectly taughte in the holy Scriptures Esaie the Prophet plainly declareth It is a people saith he without vnderstaÌ„dyng and therfore he that created them shal not fauour them and he that made theym shall not bee mercifull vnto them the xxvii of Esaie By these wordes it is easy to bee iudged That who so euer is not diligente to reade the woorde of God falleth into his indignacion and fearfull displeasure and wandereth on ignorauntly as one voide and destitute of al grace to whose peruerse mynd God wyl shewe no mercie surely this is the greatest plage and misery that can chance vnto men Now to auoide this wicked estate who would not bee circumspecte and willyng to take in his hand the holy Testament Vndoubtedly he that through the deuell and ignoraunce is so seduced that he hath it in meane estimacion and to reade it hym self is neyther couragyouse ne yet of good wyll to haue it set forthe by other is in a miserable case Yea the misery of such a man no tong can sufficiently expresse and yet to see howe wickedly many nowadaies bee confederate togither in a Deuelyshe conspiracie against the promotyng of it is a thyng soore to bee lamented And all that bee of this peruerse and stubburne iudgement bee more abhominable in goddes sight then wer the wicked and grosse people of Geresa whiche coulde not away with Chrystes doctrine regarded not his commyng vnto them no nor woulde in no wise bee acquainted with hym whose familiaritie and acquaintaunce euery christen man oughte desirousely to seeke And this is plaine that there is none so good a meane to be throughly acquainted with him as to bee busied in his holy scriptures and alwaies to haue a delyghte there folowyng the holy Prophete whiche said vnto god thy commaundementes Lorde bee my ioye and delectacion This holy man beatyng alwaies a faithful heart vnto God and euer diligent to set abrode the lawes of his Lord saied vnto his deere and best beloued sonne SalomoÌ„ and vnto all the people Kepe seeke for the commaundementes of the lord your god that you may enioye a good land and inherite your chyldren after you for euer This was Godly counsaill and worthie commendacion this counsail shoulde all Christen men folow and gladly learn the syncere law of Christ for it is spiritual and the giuer of life as thou arte taughte in the eight to the Romains And in this doyng wee must needes prospre and goe forwarde in all our affayres As it is shewed in the .xv. Chapyter .ii. of the Chronycles Beleue his Prophetes and soo shall ye prospere Howe wonderfully I praye you dyd kyng Iosaphat prospere because he forsoke Baals waies and walked vpryghtely in Goddes commaundementes obeyed the holy prophetes and vtterly shoke of all the wycked dooeynges of Israel euen for the earnest heart he hadde vnto the truthe God alwaies defended hym and stablyshed his kyngdom in his handes and so hathe he promysed vnto all kynges prynces whose heartes are couragiouse in the wayes of the Lorde This noble Prince was nothyng forgeatfull to call in memorie his loyall dewtie and faythefull obedyence towardes GOD his creatour and gouernoure He was the truest hearted Kyng vnto GODDES woord that euer was annointed or had charge ouer Chrystes congregacion for he was inflamed with suche zeale and faythfull affection of hearte to set abroade the lyuely word of GOD.
