      THE PRAISE OF A

      GODLY WOMAN.

      A Sermon preached at the Solemne Funerall

      of the Right Honourable Ladie, the Ladie

      Frances Roberts, at Lanhide-rock-Church

      in Cornwall the tenth of

      Auguſt, 1626.

      By

      Hanniball Gamon, Miniſter of the word

      of God, at St. Maugan in the ſame Countie.

      1 Cor. 4. 5.

      Therefore iudge nothing before the time, vntill the Lord come, who will bring to light the hidden things of darkneſſe, and will manifeſt the counſells of the hearts, and then ſhall euery man haue praiſe of God.

      Galath. 3. 28.

      LONDON,

      Printed by I.H. for Iohn Griſmond, and are to be ſold at his ſhop in

      Ivie-Lane at the ſigne of the Gunne. 1627.

      TO THE TRVLY

      NOBLE Iohn Roberts,

      Son and Heire to the Right

      Honourable

      Richard

      Lord

      Roberts

      of Truro: the Vnualuable Riches of

      ſincere Grace here, and of Eternall

      Glory hereafter.

      Honovrable Sir,

      Although it bee true (which a worthy Diuine[1] obſerueth) that formall Hypocrites are heartned and hardned in their lewd courſes & falſe conceits of happineſſe, when they heare more infamous Sinners than themſelues, gloriouſly and flatteringly commended at their Deaths; yet we need not feare any ſuch bad effect by the Funerall-commendation of Gods true Saints; becauſe the publike Teſtimonie of their iuſt Praiſes doth not onely make the wicked more inexcuſable, and the Glory of Gods Graces ſhine farre brighter to Poſteritie; but alſo enkindleth in the hearts of the godly a greater fire of Zeale for imitation. Theſe are ſome of the Ends, why it hath euer been and is ſtill an vnreproueable Cuſtome in Gods Church, that the Godly ſhould be Marked[2] and Honoured[3] at their Deaths, as Hezekiah was by all Iudah & Ieruſalem: Valentinean, Satyrus and Theodoſius by Saint Ambroſe[4]: Baſil, Gregory and Gorgonia by Nazianzen[5]: Nepotian, Paula and Marcella by S. Ierom[6]. Had not their Holy Liues and Happie Deaths beene publiſhed by ſuch vnpartiall Pens, wee ſhould haue bin ignorant now of many excellent Courſes of ſanctified Men and Women, of many comfortable workings of the Holy Ghoſt in them, and ſhould haue wanted many inflaming Motiues to follow their religious ſteps. Vpon this conſideration I was bold to commend vnto Gods people the more than Ordinary paſſages of your Honourable Mothers Holy Life and Death: wherein I haue as a Chriſtian ſpoken the truth of a Chriſtian, that is, (as Saint Ierom[7] proteſteth in a like caſe) made a true Narration; not a Vain-glorious Panegyrick. Let Poets and Oratours praiſe thoſe women, which Poppæa-like[8], are graced with all other things ſauing a Gracious Heart: Let them commend their Wit, Wealth, Beautie, Nobilitie, and other Gifts of Fortune (as they call them) in ſtead of Vertues[9]. Wee the Miniſters of Chriſt, and Stewards of the Myſteries of God, muſt adorne none with the Honourable Attributes of Heauenly Praiſe; but ſuch as are truly beautified, enriched, and ennobled with the Purity and Power of Gods Feare in their Humble Soules[10]. This praiſe the Lord will Proſper[11], which is vttered in that Wiſdome[12], whereof the Feare of the Lord is the beginning. But for the Saints themſelues: I dare ſay with Saint Auguſtine[13], that they deſire more the Imitation, than the Commendation of their vertues: and therefore to tell you the truth (as the ſame Father doth his friend) you ſhould neuer haue heard mee commend this deceaſed Lady, but in hope, that Gods Graces in Her might by this meanes, ſuruiue in your religious Imitation, and not only in you and all them that are of Her bloud; but alſo in all them that haue heard or ſhall reade this Sermon. This is all the gaine I looke and pray for, that Gods[14] word, which I haue faithfully alledged (not without ſome Illuſtrations (I confeſſe) borrowed from the holy Fathers[15], whereof I need not to be aſhamed) may be conſtantly practiſed by vs all. For when all is done and ſaid, aſſure your ſelfe (Deare Sir) it is only the Life of Grace, the Grace of the Feare of the Lord can truly Honour you, or any vpon earth, ſweetly comfort you at your Death, and eternally Glorifie your Soule and Bodie in Heauen. Abandon then I beſeech you in the name of Chriſt[16], all iniquitie, and all workers of iniquitie, yea abominate the
