but when we be in tribulation, and cast in prison, then we have a desire to him; then we learn to call upon him; then we hunger and thirst after him; then we are desirous to feed upon him.  As long as we be in health and prosperity, we care not for him; we be slothful, we have no stomach at all; and therefore these sauces are very necessary for us.  We have a common saying amongst us, when we see a fellow sturdy, lofty, and proud, men say, “This is a saucy fellow;” signifying him to be a high-minded fellow, which taketh more upon him than he ought to do, or his estate requireth:  which thing, no doubt, is naught and ill; for every one ought to behave himself according unto his calling and estate.  But he that will be a christian man, that intendeth to come to heaven, must be a saucy fellow; he must be well powdered with the sauce of affliction, and tribulation; not with proudness and stoutness, but with miseries and calamities:  for so it is written, Omnes qui pie volunt vivere in Christo persecutionem patientur; “Whosoever will live godly in Christ, he shall have persecution and miseries:”  he shall have sauce enough to his meat.  Again, our Saviour saith, Qui vult meus esse discipulus, abneget semetipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me; “He that will be my disciple must deny himself and take his cross upon him, and follow me.”  Is there any man that will feed upon me, that will eat my flesh and drink my blood?  Let him forsake himself.  O this is a great matter; this is a biting thing, the denying of my own will!’ As for an ensample:  I see a fair woman, and conceive in my heart an ill appetite to commit lechery with her; I desire to fulfil my wanton lust with her.  Here is my appetite, my lust, my will:  but what must I do?  Marry, I must deny myself, and follow Christ.  What is that?  I must not follow my own desire, but the will and pleasure of Christ.  Now what saith he? Non fornicaberis, non adulteraberis; “Thou shalt not be a whoremonger, thou shalt not be a wedlock-breaker.”  Here I must deny myself, and my will, and give place unto his will; abhor and hate my own will.  Yea, and furthermore I must earnestly call upon him, that he will give me grace to withstand my own lust and appetite, in all manner of things which may be against his will:  as when a man doth me wrong, taketh my living from me, or hurteth me in my good name and fame, my will is to avenge myself upon him, to do him a foul turn again; but what saith God? Mihi vindicta, ego retribuam; “Unto me belongeth vengeance, I will recompense the same.”  Now here I must give over my own will and pleasure, and obey his will:  this I must do, if I will feed upon him, if I will come to heaven.  But this is a bitter thing, a sour sauce, a sharp sauce; this sauce maketh a stomach:  for when I am injured or wronged, or am in other tribulation, then I have a great desire for him, to feed upon him, to be delivered from trouble, and to attain to quietness and joy.
