Of Augustine, 1. He is no great man that thinks it a great matter that trees and stones fall and mortal men die. 12. Just art thou, O Lord, & righteous is thy judgement. Of Bernard, 1. An admonition to his brethren that they would ground the anchor of their faith and hope in the safe and sure port of Gods mercy. 2. Because (saith he) as I suppose I cannot leave unto you any choice examples of religion, I commend three to be imitated of you, which I remember that I have observed in the race which I have run as much as possibly I could. 1. I gave less heed to mine own sense & reason then to the sense and reason of other men. 2. When I was hurt, I ⟨p. 163⟩sought not revenge on him that did the hurt. 3. I had care to give offence to no man, and if it fell out otherwise, I took it away as I could. Of Zwinglius, when in the field he was wounded under the chin with a spear; O what hap is this? 2go to, they may kill my body, but my soul they cannot. Of Oecolampadius. 1. An exhortation to the ministers of the Church to maintain the purity of doctrine, to show forth an example of honest and godly conversation, to be constant & patient under the cross. 2. Of himself. Whereas I am charged to be a corrupter of the truth. I weigh it not: now I am going to the tribunal of Christ and that with good conscience by the grace of God, and there it shall be manifest that I have not seduced the Church. Of this my saying & contestation, I leave you as witnesses, and I confirm it ⟨p. 164⟩with this my last breath. 3. To his children, Love God the father: & turning himself to his kinsfolks: I have bound you (saith he) with this contestation: you (which they hear and have desired) shall do your endeavour, that these my children may be godly, and peaceable, and true, 4. to his friend coming unto him, What shall I say unto you? News, I shall be shortly with Christ my Lord. 5. being asked whether the light did not trouble him, touching his breast, there is light enough, saith he. 6. he rehearsed the whole one & fifty psalm with deep sighs from the bottom of his breast. 7. a little after, Save me Lord Jesus.
