THE LIFE AND DEATH OF Mr. BOLTON.
That one age may tell another, that the memorial of the just shall be ever blessed, when the persons and names of those that are otherwise minded shall rot and vanish away: It hath been the pious custom of ancient and later times, to commend to posterity the eminent graces of the Saints departed. Famous are those Panegyric Orations made at the tombs of the Martyrs in the Primitive times; when as their persecuting Emperors, priding themselves in their lamentable deaths, have left no other ⟨image 9⟩noise behind them, than the loud and long continued cries of spilling innocent blood.
THat one age may tell another, that the memoriall of the just shall be ever blessed, when the persons and names of those that are otherwise minded shall rot and vanish away: It hath beene the pious custome of ancient and later times, to commend to posterity the eminent graces of the Saints departed. Famous are those Panegyricke Orations made at the tombes of the Martyrs in the Primitive times; when as their persecuting Emperours, priding themselves in their lamentable deaths, have left no other ⟨image 9⟩noyse behind them, than the loud and long continued cries of spilling innocent bloud.
Memorable also are the Funeral Orations of the two Gregories, Nyssen and Nazianzen on Basil the great: And in later times, to give a few instances, (for the number in this kind is infinite) Melanchthon and Camerarius wrote the life of Martin Luther; Junius the life of Ursine; Beza the life of Calvin; Antonius Faius the life of Beza; Josias Simler the life of Peter Martyr; and Dr. Humphrey the life of our most renowned Jewell.
