Subtùs

Cineres jam tendem quod non ipfe optavit
In PACE requiefcunt,

Vir erat ingenio fatis callido, & verfatili,
Nativo folo familiari;

In rebus facris Magnus, Fabulofis Major,
In Politicis (fi ipfi credas) Maximus!
Veritatis cultor adeò fidelis.

Ut æque in Vitá, ac Scriptis elucefat.
In Concionando acer erat, vehemens indefeffus,
Puriorem Doctrinam habuere multi,
Pulmones, & latera robuftiora nemo.

Adeo Romæ per omnia averfus
Ut ad Genevam deflecteret.

Obiit in Univerfum Diffentientium,
Ab Ecc. Angl. luctum.
Martiis Calendis.

Beneath

There lies against his own Wishes,
A Man at last in PEACE.

He was Master of a Cunning, various Wit,
Agreeable to his own COUNTRY.

Great was He in Divinity, in Fable Greater,
In POLITICS (if you'll believe himself) Greatest.
So faithful a Lover of Truth,
That it equally appears in his Life,
And Writings.

A violent, mighty, unwearied Preacher;
Many have had purer Doctrine,
No one ftronger Sides, and Lungs.
So averfe to ROME in all Points
That he almost approached G E NEVA,
He died, to the universal Grief of the
Diffenters, on the Kalends of March.
