Excerpt from Sermons: Preached by That Late Learned and Rev. Divine John Donne, Doctor in Divinity, Once Dean of the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul's At first, God gave the judgement of death upon man, when he should transgresse, absolutely, Morte morieru. Thou shalt surely dye: The woman in her Dialogue with the Serpent, she mollifies it,Ne forte moriamur, perchance, if we eate, we may die; and then the Devill is as peremptory on the other side, Nequaquam moriemini, do what you will, surely you shall not die; And now God in this Text comes to his reply, Quis est homo, shall they not die? Give me but one instance, but one exception to this rule, What man is hee that liveth, and shall not see death? Let no man, no woman, no devill offer a Ne forte, (perchance we may dye) much lesse a Nequaquam, (surely we shall not dye) except he be provided of an answer to this question, except he can give an instance against this generall, except he can produce that mans name, and history, that hath lived, and shall not see death. We are all conceived in close Prison; in our Mothers wombes, we are close Prisoners all; when we are borne, we are borne but to the liberty of the house; Prisoners Still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of Execution, to death. Now was there ever any man seen to sleep in the Cart, between New-gate, and Tyborne? between the Prison, and the place of Execution, does any man sleep? And we sleep all the way; from the womb to the grave we are never thoroughly awake; but passe on with such dreames, and imaginations as these, I may live as well, as another, and why should I dye, rather then another? but awake, and tell me, sayes this Text, Quis homo? who is that other that thou talkest of? What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? In these words, we shall first, for our generall humiliation, consider the unanswerablenesse of this question. There is no man that lives, and shall not see death. Secondly, we shall see, how that modification of Eve may Stand, forte moriemur, how there may be a probable answer made to this question, that it is like enough, that there are some men that live, & shall not see death: And thirdly, we shall finde that truly spoken, which the Devill spake deceitfully then, we shall finde the Nequaquam verified, we shall finde a direct, and full answer to this question; we shall finde a man that lives, and shall not see death, our Lord, and Saviour Christ Jesus, of whom both S. Augustine, and S. Hierome, doc take this question to be principally asked, and this Text to be principally intended.
