Azor begatte Sadoc Sadoc begat Achin Achin begatte Eliud Eliud begatte Eleazar Eleazar begatte Matthan Matthan begat Iacob Iacob begatte Ioseph the husbande of Mary of whō was borne Iesus which is called Christe The sermon vpon this Gospel IN this gospel good people many thinges are to be considered First how that our sauiour Christ the sonne of god wold for the greate loue he bare to mankinde be borne the sōne of Dauid that is wold take mās nature vpon hym to succour and help vs which were in flesh condēned to pourge our spotted and synful byrth And verily this is the final intent of Christꝭ incarnatiō as it is wel declared in the epistle to the Hebrues where it is writen that forasmoch as the sonne of god vouchsaued to call godly persones his brethren sayng by the prophet Dauid I will declare thy name to my brethren and otherwhiles also he calleth them the children as in Esay Lo here am I the children whom god hath giuen me and bicause these children and these his brethrē be men made of fleshe and bloude it pleased hym to be parttaker of the same wyth thē that by his death he might wipe out him whiche had lordshippe ouer death that is to say the deuyl and deliuer thē which through feare of death were al their life time subdued vnto bondage For he toke not vpon him angels but the sede of Abraham Wherfore in al thinges it becam hym to be made like to hys brethren that he might be merciful a feithful high prest in thinges towchinge God to thintent to pourge the synnes of the people Now wheras Christ is called here the sōne of Dauid ye must vnderstand it that he descēdeth lineally from Dauid according to the flesh as saint Paul declareth in the beginning of his epistle to the Romaines lest we rūne into y ● errours of certaine heretikꝭ which say that Christe was nothynge elles but a mā not the son of God but merely the sōne of Dauid Which errour Christ himself discussed where he propowned this question to the pharisees What thynke ye of Christe whose sonne is he ▪ And when they answered the sōne of Dauid he asked them why thā did Dauid in spirite cal him lord sayng the lord said to my lord syt on my right hāde Meaning hereby that Christe was aboue Dauid not only a man but also god So that ye muste vnderstand him to be the sōne or issue of Dauid according to the flesh and not accordinge to his godhed And ye shal also marke that he is called the sōne of Dauid after the maner of speaking of the Hebrues bycause he cam of the ryght line of Dauyd For the Hebrues do calle al lineal nephues nieces be they neuer so long of sonnes and daughters Uerely the hole petigrue of Christe is here so drawen and conueyed from his auncestours that they only be put which were ꝑttakers of y ● promise which was made of Christ. Ye must therfore marke two maner lines of men whiche beinge well marked doth discerne of whom Christ wold be borne and was borne For albeit the promise of Chryste was made to Adam yet from Cain his sōne the petigrue of Christ is not cōueyed So that one line there is whyche deriueth Christꝭ petigree from the mēbres of the true church that is to wite frō the holy fathers which were parttakers of y e ꝓmise And an other line there is which cōteyneth the childrē that grew out of kinde not folowing their fathers steppes therfor no ꝑttakers of the ꝓmise which two lines if ye diligently marke through out the old testament ye shal se that Christ proceded of the feithful stocke not of that whiche grew out of kinde as Cain Esau and their ofspring were And verily it becam Christ the hed of y e church to come of the membres of the true churche Seconde ye shall vnderstande that oure Sauiour Christ wolde be borne accordinge to the fleshe of the royal bloude of kinges to declare that he shuld be a kynge no worldly kynge but a spirituall kynge for the rulyng and guyding of mens consciencies And forasmuch as kinges were also annointed after the maner of prestes therfore Christ also wold be borne of kinges to shew himselfe an annoynted king that is to say both a king and a prest a king to rule and defende a prest to make intercession and prayer for vs accordyng as saynt Paule sayth of him Which also maketh intercessiō for vs. And the prophet ●ieremie sayth He shall do the office of a kinge and capitayne But for the eschuing of errours ye muste know that Dauid whose sonne Christ is according to the fleshe administred here hys kyngdome in the erth and therfore it is not to be thought that after that Christ is nowe ascended vp to heuen he exerciseth nomore hys kyngly officies but that he sytteth ydelly in heuen leauyng behind him hys deputie or vicare in erth the bishop of Rome Uerily Christes kingdom is perpetuall and so is his presthode according to the sayng of the prophet Tu es sacerdo● inaeternum secūdum ordinem Melchisedec Thou art an euerlastinge prest accordynge to the order of Melchisedec Thirdly ye shall vnderstande that albeit Christe and also our Ladye hys mother whose memory we solemnize this day Ioseph her husband cam of the right blessed line or stocke and not of the croked cursed lyne as I haue aforedeclared yet many of the persons aswel men as wom● of this blessed stocke were synners and therfore here in their genealogie is mencion made also of synfull personnes For who were so wicked as kynge Manasses and his sonne Amon whiche be here rekened in Christes petigree Iudas also cōmitted fornication with Thamar Salmon maryed Raab an harlot What shall I speake of Bethsabea wyth whom king Dauid cōmitted greuouse aduowtrie And yet of this Bethsabea whiche was the wyfe of Urie dyd king Dauid begette Salomō So that if a mā wol throughly consider the thinge he shall fynde almost more euell men then good amōges the auncestours of Christ and all the women whiche be here named be none of the holy women as saynt Hierom sayth but suche as the scripture disproueth What other thinge meaneth thys but that the holy ghost wolde signifie that like as Christ cam of synners so he also cam into this world for sinners He wold be borne sayeth thys noble clerc saynt Hierom of synners y t he myght wipe awey the synnes of all Yea Christ hymselfe sayeth that he cam not to calle the rightuouse but synners to repentaūce If then he cam for synners why shuldest thou o mā despaire for cause of thy synnes Nay rather take harte vnto the and repent For then shal the grace and fauour of Christ be powred more
w t oyle but this woman hath anoynted my feete w t oyntmēt For which thing I tel the many synnes be forgiuen her bicause she loued moche But he to whōles is forgiuē loueth les And he said to her Thy synnes be forgiuen the. And they y ● sate at meate with him begāne to say within themselfes who is thys whiche also forgiueth synnes But he said to y ● womā Thy feith hath saued y ● go in peace The sermon vpon this Gospel THe gospel red in the church this day good peo ple is right cōfortable to all christē men womē cōteineth a very holsom doctrine For the most part of them which iustifie thēselfes be puffed vp w t a vayne opiniō of godlynes before they haue atteyned to the true iugemēt separatyng thēselfes as lābes frō gootes not vouchesauing ones to be cōuersant in the same house nor yet to eate the same meates with other but abhorring al which be not of like perfection as they thinke thēselfes to be of Saynte Luke therfore a phisiciō more of the soule thā of the bodye sheweth vs here howe Christe our Sauiour most tenderly did visite other He entred therfore in to a pharisees house not so much to take bodily sustenaūce of the pharisee as to giue goostly fode and instructiō to the pharisee to heale him of his vain opiniō wherby he iustified himselfe For lo as he sat at meate w t the pharisee Mary Magdalen for that was her name after the mynde of aunciēt doctours being at y ● tyme a notable synful woman hearyng y ● Christ which of his moost tēdre mercy was ready to receiue al synners was there cam moost penitently thither into the house to bewayle her synful life to heare some cōfort of her saluatiō She had already herd of the great miracles y t he did specially howe merciful he was to al repentant synners She therfore moued w t thys fame came wyth great humilitie stāding behind him at his feet wept so plētifully that euen w t the teares whiche fel frō her eyen she washed Christes feet which she wiped agayn not w t any cloth but with the very heare of her heade she thought not this ynough but she also kyssed them anoynted thē w t a very preciouse oyntmēt which she brought w t her The pharisee seinge thys despiceth this dede in his harte reproueth not only the synful womā but also our lorde which suffred her thus to do Sayng w tin him selfe yf thys mā were a prophet doubtles he shulde haue knowne what maner womā this is for she is a notable synner By like yf she had come thus to the pharisees feet he wold violētly haue spurned her awey with his feete And in like maner it is to be feared sayth saynt Gregory y ● some persōs which be indowed w t the office of presthod yf they haue doon any thing in outward apparaūce iustly anone they despice their vnderlinges haue great skorn indignatiō at al y ● cōmon sinners in the world Howbeit not only the religious persōs suche as haue diuided thēselfes frō the cōmon sort of people haue been infected w t this vice but also ge nerally euery mā is readier to espye a mote in his bro ther 's eye thā a beame in his owne Thus he despiced y ● miserable synner which was infected him selfe w t enuye w t presūptiō w t the sicknes of bacbyting sklādering of other was so much y ● more incurable y ● he acknowleged not hys disease For it cōmeth cōmonly so to pas y ● mē be soner cōuerted frō notable open vices as aduowtry ydolatry such like than frō such as cloke thēselfes vnder y ● colour of holines Our Lorde therfore not hearing the pharisees wor des but espyeng his inward thoughtes answereth him sheweth himselfe to be lorde of the prophetes He asketh y ● pharisee whē a creditour forgiueth two dettours the one a greater sūme y ● other a les whether of thē welloue him best He answered he y t hath more forgiuē him Thā said Christe seest y u this woman Thou baddest me home to thy house water to my fete y u gauest me none this woman hath washed thē w t teares dryed thē agayne w t her heare She neuer ceased kyssinge of them syns I came into thy house Yea moreouer she hathe anoynted them w t oyntmēt Wherfore I tel the many synnes be forgiuē her bicause she hath loued much speaking this he turned him to the woman said thy feith hath sa ued the go in peace Oh howe cōfortable is this exemple to all synners Christe came to cal synners to repētance not those that thought thēselfes holy iust So here in the person of the pharisee may very wel be figured the people of the Iues whiche loked for Christ whā he came of presūption they wolde not know him But in Mary Magdalē maye be figured the synful Gentils ▪ whiche vnloked for of thē louingly receiued him Let vs then good people folow thys holy woman and not dispaire thoughe we be neuer so greate synners Only lette vs come to Christ wyth strong feith desire forgiuenes lamentynge and wailynge our offences brastynge out into workes of loue and charitie as she dyd and no doubt we shal be forgiuen as she was and at last en ioye euerlastynge blesse by Christe our Lorde who be praysed Amen ¶ On saint Iames day the Apostle The Gospell Mathew xx THere cam to Iesus the mother of Zebedees sonnes with her sonnes worshypping and demaunding somwhat of him But he sayd vnto her What wilt thou haue She sayth vnto him Saye that these my two sonnes may sitte one on thy right hand one on thy left in thy kingdō Iesus answered sayd Ye wot not what ye aske Can ye drinke the cuppe that I shal drynke They say to him We can He sayeth to them Ueryly my cuppe ye shall drynke But to sytte on my ryght hande and on my left it is not myne to gyue but to them for whom it is prepared of my father A sermon vpon this Gospell FReendes the gospell of this day declareth vnto vs how the mother of saynt Iames and saynte Ihon which were called the sōnes of Zebedee cam to Christ to aske a certayne petition of him Saynt Marke the Euangeliste telleth the tale as though the sonnes themselues asked the peticion And in dede it was theyr petition and sute to Christ but to thintent they myght the soner obteyne it they toke they re mother wyth them and had set her to speake for them as appeareth well by Christes answere This womans name was Salome which by interpretation betokeneth peacefull and truly she begat the children of peace And a great praise of this woman is gathered out of this text as
