It is written of all Superiors:1 I have said you are Gods, but a retreat is also sounded, You shall die like men. 2Cesar, Hannibal, Alexander, Pompey, & many ⟨p. 110⟩other the mighty Captains and Monarchs of the world are dead. King David, though the man after Gods own heart, said: I go the way of all the earth: 1. I die as all must. Nay Jesus Christ was not exempted from this death. Look in the book of God, and you shall find this the Period of life, as well to the holy Fathers, the Patriarchs, and Prophet, as to young babes, Mortuus est, and he dyed, and the child dyed. Thus we see what death is, and that all must die.
