It was a most seasonable death, after a large time of life,1 a most peaceable death in the midst of his Sons, a most religious death, blessing them, and confirming their faith with his last words; a most comfortable death, so soon as he had ended his blessing, he pulled up his legs and gave up the Ghost; and then he had also an honourable embalming and burial, as at large is set down in the Story. Who would not wish such a death?
