A LEARNED AND A VERY PROFITABLE EXPOSITION made vpon the CXI Psalme Imprinted at London by Thomas Vautroullier dwelling in the Blackfriers 15●9 TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFVLL THE MA●TE● FELOVVES SCHOLLERS and other Students of the Colledge of the holy vndiuided Trinity in Cambridge Grace mercy and peace from God our Father and from our Lorde Iesus Christ AGAINST griefe conceiued in the death of a vvorthy friende often times succour is s●●ghte in a Tombe or other monument thereby to deliuer the deades vertue cōmendable life from the vnkinde forgetfulnesse of vnthankfull men Therefore vvith the familie of the author of this booke and vvith me also vvhich in good vvill to him in his life and sorow for his death come next vnto them it falleth out very well that the sol●ce which our poore estate denieth vs the learned diligence of our deceased friends by making at vnarares his owne tombe in his life time hath supplied vnto vs Now if by dedication of it vnto you it be as it were sette vp in your Colledge it ●hall be I hope a thankefull worke considering that whether you looke to the kinde of a tombe in generall or to this in particuler the worke bringeth you commendations from them both For wheras other tombes are often times the generatiō of full c●sers without cōpany had with any great vertue or singuler learning this is the birth of the ●i● ▪ sanctifying by the true feare and knowledge of god And where others come out of the ●hoppe this cōmeth out of the schole and that of Christ Those may bring vs some message of death but these bring also the good tidings of life and that in death vvith a number such preheminences for which as this kinde of monument ought of right to haue the right hād of the other so ought it to haue gladder eyes to looke rather vpon it thē vpon the other And as for the speciall matter which commendeth this tombe it may be drawē from the workeman of it most plentifully He was first by a scholership and after by a felowship planted in your Colledge Therefore it will rellie the better that it is frute of your owne planting The worke was both made and vttered in your Colledge and for it alone if you shoulde not therefore prepare your selues at the warning of others be yet in a readines at the voyce of your owne and proper trumpet It cost him the loss● of his felowship I might haue sayde of his life which by quietnes in his Colledge should likely haue bene prolōged So that herein it is prouided euen for them to whom dayntie things are not dedicate vnlesse they be deare bought If you looke also that it shoulde be farre fetched the principall and as it were the marble thereof was taken from the highest heauen the grauing from the vtmost parts of the earth whither by an vnsatiable hunger of reading he had sitting in his study trauailed For beginning at Rome I meane the olde and eloquent not this barbarous Rome and from thence taking his iorne into Greece he landed in Canaan where he had gotten not the bare empty ●a●ke of the three the Latine Greeke and Hebrue tongues but with them the good marchandise of arts sciences contained in them For although in the loue which he bare to a simple and plaine handling of the word of God he suppressed the shewe of them yet at the faces which are continually in the Sunne can not but be tanned and slayned therewith so his speach could not but cary some colour of the learning and knowledge wherein he was continually conuersant And as for the chaunge of his life if a good death doe wash away the filth of the former life his death which was such as my soule wisheth and hopeth for the like must needes set a pleasaunt gl●● both vppon the rest of his life that was holily led and vppon this worke especially which thorough conscience of a great dutie discharged therein caused him to goe e●●●●●ragiously to meete with death and as i● were to take it by the hande or euer it had taken him Bring hither therefore your eyes first indifferent to iudge of the sinceritie of it ▪ then discrete that you may discerne his spirite zelous with iudgement and earnest in waighty matters bring thirdly your learned eyes that as in a peece of tapestrie you may see with the varietie of colours the diuersitie also of the knottes and flowers not onely to looke on but to take them out and make the like So shall your profite be pleasant and your pleasure profitable so shall you of his losse get gayne of his payne get pleasure finally so shall that which was to him the valley of Achor be vnto you the gate of hope And I beseech that holy and blessed Trinitie whiche is the patron of your Colledge that he would so fill you with al knowledge especially of himselfe that after you haue brought many to this blessed societie your selues may enter into that holy felowship whervnto in Christ you were chosen before the beginning of the world Amen By him which in the reuerende good will he beareth to you hath taken an obligation of himselfe dayly to pray for you THE VERSES OF M.

PSAL. CXI Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lorde with all my hart c.
