There is no remedy but restitution open or secrete, or else hell. This that I have now told you […] was a secret restitution. Some examples hath […] of open restitution, and glad may he be that God was so friendly, unto him to bring him unto it in this world. I am not a frayd to name him. It was Master Sherington, an honest gentleman and one that God loveth. He openly […] that he had deceived the King, & he made open restitution. […] what an argument […] he hath against the devil, when he shall […] to […], God brought this out to […] amendment. ⟨image 272⟩It is a token that he is a chosen man of God, and one of his elected. If he be of God, he shall be brought to it, therefore for1 gods sake make restitution, or else remember Gods proverb: There is nothing so secret. &c. If you do either of these two in this world, then are ye of God, if not, then for lack of restitution, ye shall have eternal damnation. Ye may do it by means, if you dare not do it your selves, bring it to an other and so make restitution. If ye be not of Gods flock, it shall be brought out to your shame and damnation at the last day, when all […] sins shall be laid open before us. Yet there is one way, how all our since may be hidden: which is2 repent & amend, Recipiscentia, recibiscentia, repenting & amen ding is a sure remedy & a sure way to hide all, that it shall not come out to our shame and confusion. Yet there was an other seed that Christ was sowing in that sermon of his, and this was the seed: I say to you my friends […] not him that killeth the body: but fear him, that after he hath killed, hath power also to cast into hell fire. &c. And there to put his disciples in comfort and sure hope of his help, and out of all doubt and […] of his assistance: he bringeth in unto them the example of the Sparrows, how they are […] by Gods mere providence and goodness, and also of the hairs of our heads, how that not so much as one hear falleth from our heads without him, fear him (saith he) that when he hath killed the body, may also cast into […] fire. Matter for all kinds of people here, but specially for Kings. And3 therefore here is an other suit to your highness. […] not him that killeth the body: […] not these […] Princes and foreign powers. […] shall make you strong enough. Stick to God, fear God, […] not […], God hath sent you many […] in your youth.
