A most fruitefull [and] necessary boke, to be had [and] redde in all churches, ther wyth to enarme all symple [and] ignorant folkes, agaynst the raueninge wolues and false prophetes.; Von dem predig ampt.

an other to deathe thee father shall brynge hys sonnes into extreme ieopardye and peryll of theyr own lyues nor the sonnes wyl in any wyse spare theyr poore parētes And yet in the meane ceason he sayeth that amōge or in the middest of so many greate peryls they shal be naked and as touching the bodye destituted of all helpe as shepe that be in the myddeste of wolues For as wolues do in no wise pytie the shepe nor acknowledge that they be bothe innocente and meke A similitude but rather runnynge vpon them do scatter teare rente deuoure and destroye all aboute so they that are the true worshyppers of God shall fynde no maner of mercy before tyrauntes whyche wyll esteme them as shepe appoynted to the slaughter yea they runninge furiouslye and most ragiously vpon theym wyll thinke that they doo hyghe seruyce vnto God yf they do roote out frō the earth and murther cruelly as manye as he soche Thys armure I say and other lyke as whē he saith The disciple or scoler is not aboue the mayster nor the seruāt aboue his Lord. Agayne yf they haue called the good man of the house Beelzebub howe moche more shall they hys housholde seruauntes And when he sayeth And the worlde ye shall haue persecution Item They shall speake all yll woordes agaynste you maye seme vnto some lett es rather and stoppes than anye defence or strengthenynge wher as in very dede they are nothing● els but a very armure For yf any man be already before fullye perswaded in hys mynde that these thinges wyl happen and chaunce vnto him lokinge for thē wyth a bolde coragious stomack all feare being banished from his mynd he is already wel armed so that they cā neyther hurt nor harme him any more Yf then these thynges can nether hurt nor harme the Pastour we must neades b●leue that he is surely fenced and armed and that wythe a stronge complete armure agaynste all thse thynges And yet I doo not sette forthe here the descryptyon of that armure whereof Saynte Paule maketh mention Ephesians .vi. Chapter but I bringe forthe the same whyche Christe dyd briefelye and wyth playne wordes describe and sette forth For when he hath Math. x. rehearsed an infinite number of mysfortunes and perylles whych do dayly and hourely hange ouer the Pastours To be wtoute feare is the moste stronge am●re of a Pastoure he sayeth by and by doo not ye feare theym And a lyttle after do not ye feare theym that kyll thee bodye but thee soule they can not kyll but rather dreade hym that can destroye both the bodye and soule in thee fyre of hell Not to feare then not to be dismayde for anye dreade feare or horrour of perylles is a mooste stronge and sure armure But paraduenture thou wylte make an Obiection and saye Obiection What newe thynge hathe Christe taughte here for alreadye afore I dyd vnderstande that I shoulde lustelye and wythe a bolde stommacke goo aboute thee offyce and charge whyche is geuen and enioyned vnto me yf I feared nothynge at all Wherfore I hadde more nede of hym that shoulde geue me that mynde whiche wyll be afrayed of nothinge For excepte soche a mynde be geuen me I can not perseuere but Christe hym selfe doeth make aunswere to all these Obiections For Solution when he hadde commaunded theym that they shoulde not be afrayed in those waues of perylles by and by he dyd shewe wher they myght gette soche a mynde as should be with out feare for he sayth Iohn xvi These thynges haue I spoken vnto you that in me ye maye haue peace for ye shall haue affliction in the world But be ye of a good chere for I haue ouercommed the worlde Doest thou see nowe howe Christ is our defendour He byddeth vs to be of a good chere that we putting awaye all feare do persyste constantelye in hys worcke though moste greuouse afflictions do ouerwhelme vs. For this is the nature of the worlde thus alwayes to exercyse and trouble the true worshyppers of God Here doeth lye a most sure hope of oure comforte and an vndoubted defence that Christ hath ouercommed the worlde For yf we be hys faythfull mynysters he shall also ouercome the worlde for vs. Wherfore he byddeth vs to be of a good cheare and to putte awaye al feare After the same maner Moyses doeth comforte the children of Israel saying Exod. xiiii The Lord shal fyghte for you and ye shal holde youre peace and be styll The Pastour then beynge endued or rather armed wythe soche a mynde shall wyth all care diligence and fidelitie admynistre the worke of hys Lord cōmitting al the residue vnto hym who according to hys good and deuyne wyll shall geue a ioyefull and prosperous ende or successe But because the pastour myght here make another obiection Obiection say Truely I do heare the voyce worde of Christ which promiseth that he wil be both an helper a defendour vnto me but I see in the meane season how he is wont to defende hys mynisters euen so that at length they be fayne to suffre death I aunswere that then thou art very well defended Solution when thou doeste suffre death for Christes sake For no man suffreth death for the name of god excepte he be a chyld of God But here in this place thou shalt knowe the chiefe and mooste principall foundations of fayth charitie The prīcipal foūdations of faith charitie wher wyth the whole buyldinge of a Christian man is set vp as it hath bene promysed afore Doest thou beleue that there is one onely almighty God I beleue wylt thou saye Doest thou beleue that the same is thy god thy Lord and thy father I beleue wylt thou say Tell me then doest thou putte all thyne hope and confydence in hym onelye Yes wylte thou saye Wythout doubt then thou doeste beleue thys also that the same God hath promysed nothyng vnto the but that he wyl perfourme it That do I also beleue wilt thou saye Yf thou doeste then acknowledge God to be thy father I doubte not but that thou wylt loue hym in all his cōmaūdemētes be obediēt vnto him And yf thou be thus mynded thou wylte be glad I trow yf thou canst at any tyme do seruyce vnto so bounteous mercyfull and gentyl a father or yf thou canste do any maner of thinge that may please hym Or that fayth then wherby thou doest acknowledge him to be that most hygh and almyghty God wherby thou doest acknowledge hym to be thy God and thy father that also is wont to ensue folowe that thou conceaueste a verye great hope to come into the presence of thys God yea thou wylte make haste to come vnto hym as soone as may be For yf thou doest acknowledge hym to be thy father thou shalte loue hym Yf thou doest loue hym as thou oughteste to do thou canste neuer abyde that hys name be blasphemed

were counted to be the cruellest tiraūts of the worlde in so much that the tyrauntes of Scicilia whych were of most famous crudelitie coulde deale no cruellier For they dyd neuer handel a man cruelly afore that his cause was hearde but these our spiritual prelates do with al care diligence studye thys one thinge that they maye in all regions and countreys winne to thē selfes wyth large gyftes and rewardes thee myndes of the myghtye rulers and magistrates whom they so intoxicate and poysonne that they thyncke that they haue well and truelye done theyr duety yea that they do hygh seruice vnto god when they do most cruelly persecute al them the preache the word of the gospell without any hearinge of the causes or trying of the doctrine And yf they their owne selues haue the secular swerde in theyr hādes as they do cal it by and by they do without any measure slea kyl and murther the innocentes beynge in thys poynt more cruell than Tygres and Crocodiles And onles they shulde feate that

this thing also o faythfull seruaunt which hast wholy consecrated thy self vnto god that many of the hygh powers whose part it was to administer the swearde of iustice do vse exercise iustice yf that

sickenes and most pestilēt boyle where with the heades of the Christian people are infected Wherefore Ezechi iii. o faythful Pastour take good hede to thy self and se how these euyls can be remedyed For yf thou doest not set forth the truth of the worde of God the bloud of them that peryshe as it is sayd before The office of a Pastour is very peryllous shal be requyred at thy hād Agayn yf thou

of the symple ignoraunte people by theyr pardons indulgēces Whereby it came to passe that they haue almost all earthly princes not a litle subiect bound vnto thē Wherfore yf thou folowinge the example
