Chap. II.
note
Such as hope not of life to come, 6. addict themselues to present pleasures:
10. and persecute the iust, especially our Sauiour Christ, as contrarie to
their wickednes. 23. Death came vpon man by the diuels enuie.
1 For they haue said thinking with themselues not wel:
note Little, and with tediousnes is the time of our life: and in
the end of a man there is no recouerie, and there is none
knowne that hath returned from hel:
2 because of nothing
were we borne, and after this, we shal be as if we had not
bene: because the breath is a smoke in our nosthrels: & speach
-- --
a sparke to moue our hart.
3 Which being extinguished, our
bodie shal be ashes, and the spirit shal be powred abrode as
soft ayre, and our life shal passe as the trace of a cloude, and
shal be dissolued as a mist, which is driuen away by the beames
of the sunne, and oppressed with the heate therof:
4 and our
name in time shal be forgotten, and no man shal haue remembrance
of our workes.
5 For our time is the passing of a shadow,
and there is no returne of our end: because it is sealed,
and no man returneth.
6 noteCome therfore, and let vs enioy
the good thinges that are, and let vs quickly vse the creature as
in youth.
7 Let vs fil ourselues with precious wine, and oyntments:
and let not the flowre of the time passe vs.
8 Let vs
crowne ourselues with roses, before they wither: let there be
no medow, which our riote shal not passe through.
9 Let
none of vs be exempted from our rioteousnes: euerie where
let vs leaue signes of ioy: because this is our portion, and this
our lot.
10 Let vs note oppresse the poore iust man, and not spare
the widow, nor reuerence the oldmans grey head of long
time.
11 But let our strength be the law of iustice: for that
which is Weake, is found vnprofitable.
12 noteLet vs therfore
circumuent the iust, because he is vnprofitable to vs, and he is
contrarie to our workes, and reprochfully obiecteth vnto vs
the sinnes of the law, and defameth in vs the sinnes of our
discipline.
13 He boasteth that he hath the knowlege of God,
and nameth himselfe the sonne of God.
14 He is made vnto
vs to the defaming of our cogitations.
15 He is greuous vnto
vs euen to behold, because his life ia vnlike to others, and his
wayes are changed.
16 We are estemed of him as triflers, and
he absteyneth from our wayes as from vncleannes, and he
preferreth the later ends of the iust, and glorieth that he hath
God for his father.
17 Let vs see therfore if his wordes be true,
and let vs proue what thinges shal come to him, and we shal
know what shal be his later ends.
18 For if he be the true sonne
of God, he wil defend him, & wil deliuer him from the hands
of the aduersaries.
19 By contumelie and torment let vs examine
him, that we may know his reuerence, and proue his patience.
20 To a most shameful death let vs condemne him: for
there shal be respect had vnto him by his wordes.
21 These
thinges haue they thought, and haue erred: for their malice
hath blinded them.
22 And they haue not knowen note the sacraments
of God, nor hoped for the reward of iustice, nor
-- --
estemed the honour of holie soules.
23 For God created man
incorruptible, and to the image of his owne likenes he made
him.
24 But by the enuie of the diuel, death entred into the
world:
25 and they folow him that are of his part.
