Having repeated oftentimes his prayers, he was called to God, unto whom so faithfully he commended his spirit, to enjoy, no doubt, the blessed society of the Patriarchs, Prophets, and Apostles in the kingdom of God the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost. Let us now love the memory of this man, and the doctrine that he hath taught. Let us learn to be modest and meek. Let us consider the wretched calamities, and marvellous changes that shall follow this mishap and doleful chance. I beseech thee, O son of God, crucified for us, and resuscitated Emanuel, govern, conserve and defend thy Church. Haec Melancthon.
