QVecunque scripta sunt ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt. Al thinges that be written, they be written to be our doctrine. By occasion of this text (most honourable audience) I have walked this Lent in the broad field of scripture and used my liberty, & entreated of such matters as I thought, mete for this auditory. I have had a do with many estates even with the highest of all▪ I have entreated of ⟨image 182⟩the duty of Kings, of the duty of magistrates, and Judges, of the duty of prelates, allowing that that is good & disallowing the contrary. I have taught that we are all sinners,1 I think there is none of us all, neither preacher, nor hearer but we may be amended, and redress our lives, We may all say, yea all the pack of us, peccavimus cum patribus nostris. We have offended & sinned with our forefathers. In multis offendimus omnes. There is none of us all, but we have in sundry things grievously offended almighty God. I here entreated of many faults and rebuked many kinds of since. I intend to day by God's grace, to show you the remedy of sin. We be in the ⟨image 183⟩place of repentance, now is the time to call for mercy, whiles we be in this world.2 We be all sinners, even the best of us all. Therefore it is good to here the remedy of sin. This day is commonly called good Friday, although every day ought to be with us good friday, Yet this day we are accustomed specially to have a commemoration and remembrance of the passion of our saviour Jesus Christ. This day we have in memory his bitter Passion and death, which is the remedy of our sin. Therefore, I intend to entreat of a piece of a story of his passion. I am not able to entreat of all. That I may do, that the better, and that it may be to the honour of God & the edification
