they were sufficient, enough for example, whereby we might understand
that there be as divers and many pains as there be offences: and so by
these three offences, and these three punishments, all other offences and
punishments may be compared with another. Yet I would satisfy your minds
further in these three terms, of "judgment, council, and hell-fire."
Whereas you might say, What was the cause that Christ declared more the
pains of hell by these terms than by any other terms? I told you afore
that he knew well to whom he spake them. These terms were natural and
well known amongst the Jews and the Pharisees: wherefore Christ taught
them with their own terms, to the intent they might understand the better
his doctrine. And these terms may be likened unto three terms which we
have common and usual amongst us, that is to say, the sessions of
inquirance, the sessions of deliverance, and the execution-day. Sessions
of inquirance is like unto judgment; for when sessions of inquiry is,
then the judges cause twelve men to give verdict of the felon's crime,
whereby he shall be judged to be indicted: sessions of deliverance is
much like council; for at sessions of deliverance the judges go among
themselves to council, to determine sentence against the felon: execution-
day is to be compared unto hell-fire; for the Jews had amongst themselves
a place of execution, named "hell-fire:" and surely when a man goeth to
his death, it is the greatest pain in this world. Wherefore you may see
that there are degrees in these our terms, as there be in those terms.

These evil-disposed affections and sensualities in us are always contrary
to the rule of our salvation. What shall we do now or imagine to thrust
down these Turks and to subdue them? It is a great ignominy and shame
for a christian man to be bond and subject unto a Turk: nay, it shall not
be so; we will first cast a trump in their way, and play with them at
cards, who shall have the better. Let us play therefore on this fashion
with this card. Whensoever it shall happen the foul passions and Turks
