Now upon the Sundays
God sendeth his husbandmen to come and till; he sendeth his callers to
come and call to the wedding, to bid the guests; that is, all the world
to come to that supper. Therefore, for the reverence of God, consider
these things: consider who calleth, namely, God; consider again who be
the guests; all ye. Therefore I call you in God's name, come to this
supper; hallow the sabbath-day; that is, do your holy-day work, come to
this supper; for this day was appointed of God to that end, that his word
should be taught and heard. Prefer not your own business therefore
before the hearing of the word of God. Remember the story of that man
which gathered sticks upon the holy day, and was put to death by the
consent of God: where God shewed himself not a cruel God, but he would
give warning unto the whole world by that man, that all the world should
keep holy his sabbath-day.
The almighty ever-living God give us grace to live so in this miserable
world, that we may at the end come to the great sabbath-day, where there
shall be everlasting joy and gladness! _Amen_.
