Among others the present preservation and future destruction of Parker is very remarkable. This Parker was a 1kind of factor for English Seminaries and Nuns beyond sea, especially at Cambre. He so dealt with two brothers of his in England, as he obtained of one a son of his, and of another a daughter, to send them to religious houses (as those superstitions places are called) beyond Sea. This Parker took his Nephew, a youth of 16 years age, to the fore-mentioned fatal conventicle, where Drury preached. Both these, Parker and his Nephew fell with the rest. The youth there lost his life, but Parker himself escaped with a bruised body, being a corpulent man. So far was he from praising God, as with much discontent he wished that he had died for his Nephew, and said, that God saw not him sit to die among such Martyrs. Strange Martyrs! Yet not so strange, as those martyrs which died under gallowses and ⟨p. 398⟩gibbets for treason. Such are Romes martyrs. But about ten days after this Parker shooting London bridge with his foresaid Niece, whom he was conveying over Sea, both were cast away in the Thames. Judge hereby (O Parents) whether God be well pleased with committing your children to Papists for education.
