reward In our calling obserue the Author of our calling God diuersitie of our calling in respect of time called a● houre 3.6.9.11 place some called in y e market other elsewhere God is termed here paeterfamilias in respect of his fatherly loue and care disposing of all things in the Catholike Church with greater prouidence and wisdome then any discreet housholder can manage the priuate businesse of his particular family So that all Atheists and Epicures holding that either there is no God or that hee cares not for the things on earth are confuted by this one word that God is an housholder a father of his Church Went out Whither can he goe that is euery where Liceat dicere exijt à se vt intret in te imo vt te conuertat in se. God went out from his maiesty which is vnknowne vnto his mercy which is manifested in all his works in gouerning the Church esp●cially sending labourers into his haruest and workmen into his vineyard If then all laborers in the vineyard are called by God such as are busied in vnlawfull professions and occupations not allowed by his word are not seruants of the Lord but hirelings of Satan The second point obseruable in our calling is the diuersity thereof in respect of time and place God cals in diuers houres of the day that is in diuers ages of the world and in diuers yeeres of our age In the time before the law God called Abel Enoch Noah Abraham and such like In the time vnder the law Moses Dauid Esay together with other Kings and Prophets in the time after the law the blessed Apostles Martyrs Confessors Or as other God called some in the first houre as Adam and the Patriarks vntill Noah some in the third houre as all Noahs posterity to Abraham some in the sixt houre as all his seruants who liued betweene Abraham Moses some in the ninth houre as Moses and the Prophets some in the eleuenth houre as Peter and Paul and all other who liued since Christs time which is hora nouissima the last houre Iohn 1. epist. 2.18.1 Cor. 10.11 But I thinke with Saint Hierom that this difference is meant of our age rather then of the worlds age For our great Master calles some to labour in his vineyard at the first houre of the day that is in their childhood as Samuel Ieremy Iohn the Baptist each whereof might say with ●he Psalmographer O Lord thou wast mine hope when I hanged yet vpon my mothers breasts Thou art my God euen from my mothers wombe Other he cals in the third houre that is in their youth as Daniel the Prophet and Iohn the Euangelist of whom Saint Hierom Discipulum minimum Iesus amauit plurimum Other in the sixt houre that is in their middle age as Peter and Andrew Other in the eleuenth houre that is in their old age as Gamaliel and Ioseph of Arimathea some not onely in the last houre of the day but euen in the last minute of the houre as the theefe vpon the Crosse Luke 23. Againe this our calling is diuers in respect of the place for God calles some from their ships and some from their shops and some from vnder the hedges and some from the market as it is here vers 3. Now this diuers calling at diuers times and in diuers places intimates a caueat for such as are called intimates a comfort for such as are not called A caueat for such as are called that they neither magnifie themselues nor vilifie other It proceeds not from our good works but from Gods good will that wee be called and he being infinitely rich in mercy can call the most wicked ruffin euen though he haue denied Christ with Peter or sold Christ with Iudas or crucified Christ with Pilat Iudge not therefore that ye be not iudged iudge not malitiously iudge not curiously The counsell of Gods election is secret whom he did predestinate them also he calleth and whom he calleth he iustifieth and whom he iustifieth he sanctifieth in his good time and therefore iudge not before the time This also may comfort such as feele not themselues as yet sufficiently called Our good Lord calles at all times in all places he called Paul in the midst of his furie breathing out th●eatnings and slaughter against the professors of the faith He called Cardinall Vergeriu● as he was running away for being suspected in the Court of Rome to fauor the Gospellers and purposing to cleere himselfe of that suspition intended to write a booke against them and for that purpose reading their works and examining their arguments exactly was fully resolued that their doctrine was good and also perswaded his brother the Bishop of Pola to receiue the same He called Henry 8. Wicklif Luther in their discontent Henry 8. of famous memory displeased with the Pope for denying his diuorce banished all forraine iurisdiction and immediately made publike profession of the Gospell Iohn Wicklif with other being thrust out of Cante●burie Colledge in Oxford Monkes placed in their roome by the Popes edict and Simon Langham Archbishop of Canterburies power at the last grew so discōtent that he misliked Pope Bishop Monkes and all and afterward it pleased God to shew him the bright beames of his truth in so much that Wicklif was a wicket and a doore of entrance to many who liued in that time of ignorance Martin Luther at the first distasted in all popery but one point onely to wit the base prostitution of indulgences in Germany but herein receiuing no satisfaction he grew to be so great a laborer in the Lords vineyard that it might haue been written on his tombe Pestis eram viuens moriens ero mors tua papa Or as learned Bèza worthily and wittily Roma orbem domuit Romam sibi Papa subegit Viribus illa suis fraudibus iste suis. Quanto isto maior Lutherus maior illa Istum illamque vnô qui domuit calamô Hitherto concerning our calling into the vineyard The next obseruable point is our working This vineyard as the Prophet tels vs is the Church Surely the vineyard of the Lord is the house of Israel and the men of Iudah are his pleasant plant All men are either loiterers in the market of the world or else laborers in the vineyard of the Church Of such as stand in the market idle there be foure sorts some sell their soules pawne their soules lose their soules giue their soules Some sell for as it is said of the Lawyer that hee hath linguam venalem a tongue to bee bought and sold so it may be said of the couetous man that hee hath animam venalem a soule to be sold so the voluptuous man doth sell his soule for pleasures as Esa● did his birthright for a messe of pottage so the proud man doth sell his soule for aduancement ●s Alexander the

Hieromes aduice to Nepotian Conuiuia tib● sunt vitanda secularium maximè eorum qui honoribus tument Facilè cōtemnitur clericus qui saepe vocatus ad prandium ire non recusat nunquam petentes rarò accipiamus rogati Epiphanius is of opinion that Ioseph was dead before this time because there is no mention made of him in the Gospel after his going vp to Hierusalem at the Passeouer Luk. 2. therefore no maruell if hee were not bid with Christ and his Disciples Diuines haue rendred sundrie reasons why Christ and his companie being inuited came to this wedding First as our Church doth speake to beautifie with his presence this holy calling Confirmare voluit quòd ●pse fecit nuptias and it was exceeding fit that Christ should worke his first miracle for the confirmation of Gods first ordinance Secondly to manifest his humilitie vouchsauing to visite the meanest Thirdly to certifie the spiritual mariage betweene the Church and himselfe Seuerus Antiochenus orat 119. vt citatur in Graec. caten à Maldonat in loc Fourthly that he might act this miracle at this solemne celebritie Miraculi potiùs quod acturus erat quam conuiuij gratiâ profectus We cannot now feast Christ in his person but we may feede him in his ministers in his members Inuite therefore the good man and the poore man as Iob saith If I haue eaten my morsels alone and the fatherlesse haue not eaten thereof As Amos complained of the rich gluttons in his time deuouring the lambs of the flocke and calues out of the stall drinking wine in bowles and anoynting themselues with the chiefest oyntments and singing to the viole but no man saith the Prophet is sorrie for the affliction of Ioseph If thou wilt feast Christ inuite the Disciples inuite Mary the fatherlesse the widow for hee protests openly whatsoeuer is done vnto the least of my brethren is done vnto me And when the wine failed Want at a wedding doth intimate the discontentment and vanitie of earthly pleasure that euen in laughing the heart is sorrowfull and the end of mirth is heauinesse Prouerbs 14.13 Ecclesiastes 2.1 Wee neede not dispute curiously whether this want was occasioned either by the pouertie of the parties inuiting or by the riotous intemperance of the guests inuited or by the lauish negligence of the seruitors or by the multitude of acquaintance who came not called as it is vsuall at such meetings it is enough for vs to know that it came to passe by Gods all-seeing prouidence that our Sauiour might manifest his glorie For as it is said of him that was borne blinde Iohn 9. Neither hath this man sinned nor his parents but that the workes of God should be she●ed on him so neither the master of the feast nor the guests nor the seruants offended in that the wine failed onely this happened for our good and Christs glorie They haue no wine This speech is grounded vpon faith hope and charitie Faith in that she beleeued Christ was able hope being throughly perswaded Christ was willing miraculously to supplie this want Her words are but three vinum non habent an indicatiue short narration not an optatiue long oration Hereby teaching vs that albeit in regard of our miserie nothing can be said too much yet in respect of Christs mercie one word is enough as being more willing to relieue then we to request Lastly this is a demonstration of her charitie being solicitous for her good friends accoūting their want her woe For if one member of Christs mystical bodie suffer all suffer with it and therefore the good Virgin out of sympathie perceiuing the wine would faile cried vnto her sonne they haue no wine She could not but be full of pitie who carried in her wombe nine moneths the God of compassion If a man hold an apple in his hand all the forenoone he will smell of it all the afternoone Mary did inwombe the father of mercies her bowels therefore must needes be very compassionate Nam ant● mentem repleuit quàmventrem cùm processit ex vtero non recessit ab animo As Mary to Christ they haue no wine so I to you the poore haue no corne For their supplie God be thanked as yet we need no miracle but only your mercie S. Peter said to the begging creple Siluer and gold haue I none but such as I haue that giue I thee In the name of Iesus Christ rise vp and walke But our liues if not our lips vtter the contrary compassion and pitie haue we none but goods and corne which we haue giue we not Iulius Caesar gloried in nothing so much as in pardoning his enemies and gratifying his friends Hee did beleeue as a Pagan but worke as a Christian but I feare many beleeue like Christians but liue like Pagans The subtill disputant presseth his aduersarie with two premisses that hee may bring him to an absurd conclusion Satan is the most cunning sophister he doth praemittere d●o delicias diuitias Now wee must denie the first proposition flatly and distinguish of the second And this distinction must bee a diuision and this diuision Christ diuision Diuide pauperibus Giue to the poore Master Tyndal being a diligent Preacher and a great student allotted two daies in euery weeke monday and saturday to visit the sicke and to relieue the poore which he tearmed his owne daies of pastime a sweete recreation as Ambrose speakes in alieno remedio vulnera sua curare To benefit our selues in helping other In our time wee want such women as Mary such men as Tyndal c. If any shall demaund how Mary came by this faith hope charitie how she beleeued Christ to be God and able to doe wonders Answere is made first that she might vnderstand this by diuine reuelation for Gabriel an harbinger of heauen told so much vnto her He shall be great and shall be called the Sonne of the most high and hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer and of his kingdome shall be no end Secondly by the preaching of Iohn the Baptist openly proclaming Christ to be the Lambe of God who takes away the sinnes of the world Thirdly by the diligent obseruation of Christs doctrine both abroad and at home for the text saith in the second of S. Luke that Mary kept all those sayings and pondred them in her heart Where by the way note what an excellent thing it is to marke the words of the Preacher and safely to lay them vp in our heart as in a treasure house that as

A good but not a quiet 2. A quiet but not a good 3. Both good and quiet 4. Neither good nor quiet The two good belong properly to the godly the two bad vnto the wicked whose cōscience is either too too quiet or else too too much vnquiet in neither peace non est gaudium impijs as the Translators of the Septuagints reade non est gaudere impijs There is no ioy to the wicked Somtime their conscience is too too quiet as Paul speakes euen feared with an hot iron when habit of sin takes away the sense of sinne when as men are past feeling in a reprobate sense giuen ouer to worke all vncleannes euen with greedinesse Ephes. 4.19 This is no peace but a numnesse yea a dumbnesse of conscience For at the first euery mans conscience speaks vnto him as Peter to Christ Master looke to thy selfe Her prick-arrowes as the shafts of Ionathan forewarne Dauid of the great Kings displeasure but if wee neglect her call and will not lend our eares while she doth spend her tongue this good Cassandra will crie no more Now it fareth with the maladies of the minde as it is with the sicknes of the bodie When the pulse doth not beate the bodie is in a most dangerous estate so if conscience neuer prick vs for sinne it is a manifest signe our soules are lulled in a deadly sleepe That schoole will soone decay where the monitor doth not complaine that armie must necessaril●e be subiect to surprise where watches and alarums are not exactly kept that towne is dissolute where no clocks are vsed ●o likewis●●ur little citie is in great peril● when our conscience i●●ill and sleepie quiet but not good tunc maxime oppugnaris si t● nescis oppug●ari saith Hier●me to Heliodore None so desperatly sicke as they who feele not their disease Saint Augustine notably Quid miserius misero non miserante seipsum and Bernard Ideo dolet charitas mea quòd cùm sis dole●dus non doleas inde ma is miseretur quòd cùm miser sis miserabilis tamen non es and Hierome to Sabinian Hoc plango quòd te non plangis When the strong man armed keepes ●is hold the things that are possessed are in peace Where Diuines obserue that vngodly men already possessed with Satan are not a whit disquieted with his temptations As God is at open war so the diuell is at secret peace with the wicked but yet saith Hierome tranquillitas ista tempestas est This calm● of conscience will one day prooue a storme For as God said vnto Cain If thou doest ill sinne lieth at the doore Where wickednesse is compared to a wilde beast which dogs a man wheresoeuer hee goeth in this wildernesse And albeit for a time it may seeme harmlesse for that it lieth asleepe yet at length except men vnfainedly repent it will rise vp and rent out the very throte of their soules A guiltie conscience being once roused and awaked thoroughly will make them like those who lie on a bed that is too strait and the couering too short who would with all their heart sleepe but cannot they seeke for peace of minde but there is no peace to the wicked s●i●h my God As the cōscience was heretofore too too quiet so now too too much vnquiet As godly men haue the first fruits of the Spirit and certaine ●asts of heauenly ioyes in this life so the wicked on the contrarie feele certaine flashings of hell flames on earth As there is heauen on earth and heauen in heauen so hell on earth and hell in hell an outward hell and an inward outward in outward darknesse mentioned in holy Scripture where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth at this feast as Bishop Latymer wittily there can bee no mirth where weeping is serued in for the first course gnashing of teeth for the second Inward hell is an infernall tormenting of the soule void of hope faith and loue this hell the diuels haue alwaies in thē and reprobate forlorne people carrie about thē insomuch that they can neither disport themselues abroad nor please themselues at home neither comforted in companie nor qui●ted alone but in all places and times Erinnys conscie●tiae so Melanc●hon calles it hellish hags and infernall ●uries affright them Au●ustine in his ●narration of the 45.
