draw my speech into a narrower cōpasse As Paul witnesseth of himselfe 2. Cor. 12. so he both spent and was spent amongst you You cānnot truly say of him Ditavimus Abrahamum we haue made Abraham rich he hath not a shoe-thread more thā he brought at his first comming P. Scipio being called by the Senate to giue an account of his administration in Af●icke made aunswere thus for himselfe Whereas I haue subdued all Africke to your government I haue brought away nothing therehence that may bee called mine but onely a sirname What hath this reverend Prelate gained and carried away vvith him by continuing amongst you these many yeares saue onely the name of an Archbishope In the consideration of whose estate I cannot but remember a speech that Cato vsed in A. Gellius I haue neither house nor plate nor any garment of price in mine handes If I have any thinge I vse it if not I know who I am The worlde blameth mee for wantinge manye thinges and I them that they know not hovv to want I neede not apply the speech But vvill you haue the reason of all this Nepotianus noster aurum calcans schedulas consectatur Our Nepotian contēned gold and wholy gaue himselfe to follow his study And I am sure the commendation is that which Bernard gaue to Martin in his 4. of consideration Nonne alterius sec●res est transire per terram auri sine auro Is it not an heavenly disposition and fit for the other vvorld to liue in a countrey where a man may be rich and not gather riches Now touching the other member of my speech his travaile and paines in his function hee delt both the gospell of Christ and himselfe amongst you whose saying ever was that which hee also tooke from a famous light of this land One that was Iulium sydus a Iewell of his age vvhere shoulde a preacher die but in the pulpit Oporte● imperator●m in acie stantem mori a Generall must die in the field vpon his feete and surely hee thoroughly perfourmed it For when the infirmity of his body was such that the least moving and stirring thereof by travaile drew his bloud from him even then he drew out his breasts and fed you with the milke of Gods most holye vvorde whereas the Dragons of the vvildernesse are cruell in their best health and regard not their young ones Lastly which is the last of all because the end is both triall and perfection and in this sense Vnus dies par omni One day is as much as all the rest for it is aterninatalis the birth day of eternity and as the tree falleth so it lyeth and as we goe out of this life so wee shal bee restored to that other that you may not thinke he did as the manner of feastes is at the beginning set forth good wine and then that which is worse or that he kept one hoofe backe from the full sacrifice I will shortly repeat vnto you what his end was Wherein I must vse that protestation before that Seneca somwhere vsed Nunquam par fuit imitator authori There is no equality betwixt one that imitateth and the author himselfe and a thing done by way of repetition and rememoration must needes come short of the truth Notwithstanding this I can constantly affirme in generall that all other cares and consultations which the world might haue drawne him vnto laid aside and not so much as named he only applied himselfe to make some profession promulgation of his faith Which he rathest chose to doe as the Apostle speaketh Act. 10. not to all the people but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to vs witnesses then Chaplaines in his house chosen of God to the same dispensation of the faith wherein himselfe had beene His speach was to this effect I haue sent for you to this end that before my departure I might giue some testimony of that faith wherein I haue hitherto lived and am now to die What I haue received of the Lord that I haue ever delivered I haue red much written much often disputed preached often yet never could I finde in the booke of God any groūd for Popery neither haue I knowne any point of doctrine received in the church of England that is not consonant vnto the word of God VVherefore he exhorted me my colleague beeing then absent to continue in that building wherein I had already laide my foundation and because I was nowe his ghostly father which was the vnworthy name a father bestowed vpon me a childe in comparison required that I would not neglect to repaire vnto him twise or thrise before his ending I told him that having often in his life ministred so good comfortes to others he could not want comfort to himselfe He grāted it but because omnis homo mendax wherein we tooke his meaning to be that a man might flatter and beguile himselfe therefore he a gaine required my resort vnto him I replied that I thought it the best and I feared would be the last service that ever I shoulde doe vnto him Howbeit the comfortes which I had to giue I coulde but powre into the outwarde eares and that it must be the spirit of God which inwardly comforteth the conscience To this his aūswere was The spirit of God doth assure my spirit that I am the childe of God I yet proceeded You haue seene long peace and many good daies in Israell I hope also shall depart in peace and leaue peace behinde you Neither know I any thing in the world wherewith your conscience should be troubled He finally concluded I die in perfite peace of conscience both with God and man So he licensed me to depart not willing he said to trouble me any more at that time Indeede it was the last trouble that ever in breath he put me vnto For the next entrāce I made was iustly to receiue his last and deepest gaspe Of whome what concerneth mine owne private estate I say no more but as Phillip said of Hipparchus being gone He died in good time for himselfe but to me to soone Thus he that was ever honourable in the vvhole race of his life was not without honour at his death For as Sophocles commēded Philoctetes at what time he was killed himselfe he killed others gloriously Hee fought a good fight both in defence of the faith and in expugnation of heresies schismes seditions which infest the Church I call that labour of his because hee made none other at that time his last will and testament Wherein the particular legacies which he bequeathed were these 1. To my selfe which I holde more precious than the finest gold fatherly exhortation to go forward in plāting the gospel of Christ which I had begun 2. To the Papists wholsōe admonitiō to relinquish their errours having no groūd in the scriptures And let thē wel advise thēselues that at such a time when there is no cause to suspect
