For dieir calling was- lawfuU : it was [welQ knowaie that diey did not thruft in them- felucs of their owne heades, but that the fonne of God had chofen and appoyntcd them by his owne mouth, yea and made them as it were new creatures : being fiUie foules and ignorant folke , they were fo chaunged , as it appeared well that their doftrine came al- togither of heauenly myracle. For they had not learned ought but in Gods fchole : and he had in one inftant of time fo indued them with his grace and power, that they became as inftiaiments of the holy Ghoft. Yet notwithflanding, the DiucU mifled not too abufe their name and t^'tlc , too bring ftore of troubles and ftumbling blockes into the Church.For fuch as went in their companie, made their brags when they came in far country s, that tliey had bin fami- liarly conuerfant with them:and yet for all that/ume of them were ful of vainglorie & pride,& fought notliingbut their own aduance- ment. Otherfome were felfwilled , and could away with nothing but that which they had feene in the Citie of lerufalem, and in the land of Iewrie:and they would haue had the whole world fubie<^ ta their lure,and therwithal would haue turned al things vpfide down as they fay. Others were led yet with a more wicked minde, fo ts they fought nothing elfe but to ouerthrow all that S.Paul had buil- ded. And all thefe(as I fayd afore)boailed that they had not learned any thing of him, but that they had bin taught their doclrme by the Apoftles themfebes. Thus yee fee howc Sathan hath alwayes defaced Gods glorie, euen vnder the fhadow of the gracious giftcs which hee had beflowed vpon his creatures. And in good footh, we fee how that vnder the names of tlie Apoftles^and of the virgin Marie, the Idolatrieis the fame at this day in the Popedom, which it was among the Painims vnder the names of their falf gods: for ther ks nothing changed;but only the names of the. As for the fuperfi-itio^ A.ij. it is Chap. r. ^o.CaLjirJl Sermon ypon it is as filthie aiid detcftablc in th« Popedomc, as eucr it was amonj theHeatlien. Heere therefore wee bee warned to bee wirc,to the intent that if the Diuell abufe Gods name, wee may bee able to refift him, and to difceme Vhat authoritie men ought to haue,and therewitliall not to be ouerhaflie of belcefe , nor ouercafie to be mcued and fhaken widi euerie winde. For if wee haue not the confbncie to walke in the doclrine that hath bin deliuered to vs, when wee bee once fully refolued that it is Gods pure truth : it will happen to vs as it did too the people of Galatia . Yee fee then that the thing which wee haue too bcare in mindc , isiaefFe6l, that when God hath giuen vs tlie grace too vndci-ftande his woorde , wee muftalwayes go forward© in it^and not be fliaken lyke Reedes, norcaryed too and fro, nor led vp and down e hke httle babes : but wee muft haue the witte ai:id dif- cretton, to iiickc to the thing which weeknowe too bee offered v« , of God. Marke that for one poynt. But by the way , forafmuch a$ ^ wee cannot haue fuch power in our felues : let vs pray with all low- hnefTe and earnellnefle vnto God,too reforme vs by his hoiyfpirit, and too giue vs fuch ftcdfaflnefTe as wee may neuer fwarue aride,and tiiat when we fee all things turned vpfide downe in this worlde , yet not\\'idiilanding,this foundation may abide fure, namely that foifo- much as God which cannot Ik hath fpol .?n to vs, and fhewed vs his will : we may fafeiy fbndc ther\^on without turning any way from it. Howbeit forfonuich as the Diuell hadi many cunning knacks too thmfl vs out of the way, yea and that(as I haue earft fayd)he will not fticke to abule Gods name to winde himfelfe in,and to get fome ac- ccflc to vs'.it bchoucrii vs to vnderfknd that our reuerencmgof men nrafl: be in Rich wife,as Ciod may in the mean feafon continue vnim- peachcd,and that our Lord may haue the whole mayfti-ie ouer vs to himfelfe,as hce that is the teacher of the Church:and tl^iat our fayth depend not,ncither \'pon mens lvnowledge,nor vpon any reputation that we haue of their wirdome,power,orholinefre:but that our Lord Icfus may alwayes haue the preeminence for vs to reft and fettle our fcjues \-pon.For if our u) th be not grounded \yon Gods pure pTith, which is vnvariable.-certcinly it will be but a leafing.This is the thing that wee haue too gather of tlic example that is fette downe heere concer- the Epifi.to the (jalathians. 5 concerning the Galathians. But by the way a man might thinln,i.z without caufe alfo is the fpirit of wv^fedome fathered vpon him, to the intent wee fliouldfe eke it inliim. Therfore letvs refortthy- ther : and if any man goe about to bring in a thing that feemeth net to bee of any great importance; let vs bethynke vs what a ta\lc it A.iij. i^yg^^t chap.r. foXalfirfi Sermon ypon myght drawe after it. And for proofe Keereof, when wee be once turned from the fmiplicitk of the Gofpell, wee fhall become like vvhoorc mongers -..according as wee hauefeene in the lad Epiftle, 2»Ca,il.ar howe Saint Paule fayth exprefTely, that the Diueli vfeth Bawdes trickes and Ruffian trickcs, when hee commeth too turne vs from the do^lrine of the Gofpell. Hee will alwayes make fome goodly and fayre proteftation, like as when a Ruflian intendeth to deceiue a yong wife or a mayde, hee will not vfe any lewde termes or kna* uerie , for hee knowetli that fhee woulde abhorre them ; but hee wiUmarkeby little and little howe hee may infe£l hirwitli hys deadly poyfon. Euen fo playcth the Diueli in that behalfe. For if he fhould (hewe his homes (as they fay) at the lirll: dafh^and fhewe himfelfe openly too bee Gods enimie : euerie man woulde fhiinne him, and we would abhorre him. But hee windeth himfelfe flily in, and creepeth in at fmall cranies,fo as wee fhall woonder tlaat he coulde preuayle with vs in fundrie things, and wee fnall ftill beare our felues in hande, that wee ceafTe not to holde with lefus Chrift and his Church. And yet for all that wee fhall bee turned away,and in the ende wee fhall perceyue our felues too bee quite oitte off. "Therefore when we reade this example, that the DiuelLhad mar- red and corrupted the Churches whereof mention is made heere, [and that,3vnder the fhadowe of the Ceremonies of Moyfes lavye: let vs bethinlie our felues the better , and flande flifFely without turning afyde by any meanes from the fimplicitie of the Gofpell. Furthermore feeing hee hath flryuedand difputed about the Cere- monies of the lawe : let vslooke well aboute vs tooprofitc our felues by all that is heere conteyned , and let vs flande continually Vpon our garde, that wee may finde out the craftes and wyles of Satan. And whenfoeuer hee fhall go about too. vndermine vs, let VS looke well too our bufinefTe, and flande alwayes too that which wee haue learned, fo as we may be out of all.doubt, that wee fhall not finde any thing in the do6lrine of the Gofpell, which is not the. pure woorde of God. For (as I fayde) that is the thing where vpoii our fayth mufl bee grounded. And if any man will adde neuer fo little too it, let vs not one ly fufpedit, but alfo abhorre it : for when there is fuch a niingle mangle made with Gods pure truth^, itcaa the Epijl.to the (jalathians. ft can beoothing elfe but corruption. Now let vs come to the or- der which Saint Paule keepeth in handling th e do6trine which wee (hall fee poynt by poynt. That hee may bee the better heard and alfo receyued, he confirmeth his owne authoritie, which fome men had gone about too impeache. For beholde, the pollicie of thofc dogges that incountered agaynft him , was too alledge that the A- poftles'taught otherwife than hee did. Nowe forafmuch as Saint Paule had not bin conuerfant wy th our Lorde I efus Chrift whi le hee lyuedin this worlde : it was fiTppofed at tjie fyrft, that the A- poftles were a degree aboue him, and ought to bepreferred before him. And on the other fyde they inquired who had put him ixx that place, as though hee hadthrufthimfelfe in,and had done it ra- ther of rafhneffe than otherwife. Saint Paule therefore was fayne too fet himftJfe agaynft all this geere, and too (hewe that hee was truely fente of God. Furthermore (as I fa^^de earft) the Diuell ftirred vp others,who comniing from Ierufalem,fayd that that was the mother Church , and the holinefle of all Chriftendome : and they pretended too bee zeelous fetters foorth of the purenefle oi the Gofpe I], By reafon whereof,it behoued Saint Paule too go for- warde in flie v/ing that hee had not aduaunced himfelf e , nor taken any thing \^pon him of his owne heade, but had obeyed the calling ofGod.iuvdofour Lorde lefus Chrift, who had made him his A- poftle. Yeaandheecompareth himfelfe with lohn and lames and . . . Peter, who were (as men termed them) the pillers of the Church, y^/.a.tf.^. and fo talven to be among all men , (hewing that hee was no whitte mferiour to them. And why {[doth hee fo C\ To the ende his doc- trine might be r ece^oied : for that is the marke that he amed at. Af- terwarde when he hath prepared the Galathians too rece^oie obe- ikently the warnings that he giueth them : the he debateth the mat- ter which was at that time in controuerfie , and fheweththat the Gofpell is beaten
