Phisicke for the soule verye necessarie to be vsed in the agonie of death, and in those extreme and moste perillous seasons, aswell for those, which are in good health, as those, which are endewed with bodily sicknesse. Translated out of Latine into Englishe, by H. Thorne.

Peroratio.

I Beséeche you therefore brethren, déerely beloued in the lorde, that ye endeuour your selues to haue these things daylie in memorie, I meane, faith, hope, charitie, and humilitie, that they may be sealed vp by prayers vnto God, and meditations of holy scriptures. For if you haue those things, and doe abound in them, they will not leaue you emptie, and barren touching the knowledge of Iesus Christ.

For the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 man, which hath not those things, but neglecteth his owne saluation, is blind, groping the waye with his hande, forgetting that he is cleansed from his olde sinnes, and it shall happen vnto him, as it is sayde in the true prouerbe: The dogge is returned againe vnto his domite, and the washed swine vnto his dur••ie puddle. They therefore, that haue escaped the pollutions of the worlde, as it is written, and haue re∣nounced them in there baptisme, and are come vnto the knowledge of our lord Iesus Christ, and are afterwards againe entang∣led with them, there ende shall bée worse, than there beginning. For it had bene bet∣ter for them, not to haue knowne the waye of truth, then when they haue knowne it, to returne backe againe vnto the things, which were forsaken. Let vs therfore, being the déere and faythfull seruauntes of God, and his christian chosen souldiours, diligent∣lye, and earnestly take vp the foresaide ar∣mour in oure hartes, and not haue them in minde by an outwarde showe, that we battayling well, and treading downe al the power of the enimie, may be deliuered from the curse to come vpon the children of vn∣beléefe,

and that we maye finde grace, and mercie in that horrible daye, before the iust iudge, which will rewarde euerie man, ac∣cording to his déedes, to whome, with the almightie father, and the holy spirite, belongeth honor, and glory, now, and for euer, world with∣out ende. A∣men.
