yet do they not give themselves up to their sorrows, but cried out to our Saviour, What have we to do with thee thou Jesus the Son of God, art thou come to torment us before our time: Caesars case was not the case of fear, for fear is the apprehension of an evil before it come; but Caesar was so far from fearing, that though he were ⟨p. 225⟩forewarned to take heed of the Ides of March (as I remember) least they proved fatal to him, was so far from apprehending any fear thereupon, that going that day to the Senate House, and meeting by the way with him who had given him that warning, he called him by his name, and to show his fearless condition said, The Ides of March are come; true Sr quoth the other, but they are not yet past. The mortal wound in the Senate House was given him before he feared it; for of thirty and odd wounds there received, it is written that every one of them was mortal. His heroical spirit bare him out nevertheless (not against the fear, for that was now out of season, but) against the sense of mortal pain, in such sort, as not to commit any indecent thing, in dying under the hands of so many Assassinates either in word or deed; for not a word of distemper, was uttered by him, only to Brutus his near Kinsman, and dear unto him, when he came upon him in like manner as the rest, he said [Greek or Hebrew], and took care to gather his garments in such sort about ut honeste caderet. Heaven and hell are ordained by God as the portion, of the righteous the one, of the wicked the other. I hope this Author will not deny but that Heaven (according to his phrase) was unavoidably obtained by our Saviour, yet this nothing hindered his hope, but rather confirmed it by casting out of fear. And the hope of Christ is the first thing this Author instanceth in, while he amplifies the nature of hope; but in his large expatiation thereon, according to his course he spent so much time, that he might well forget it, before he come to the accommodation of it unto his Argument. And indeed hope in Scripture phrase, is the looking for of Christ, and the glory he brings with him; and what a senseless thing is it to conceive, that the more sure we are of blessedness, the less we should expect and look for the enjoyment of it? Doth not our Saviour bid his Disciples Luke 10. 20.
