1These men were dead a good while before Paulus Phagius had scarce yet showed the proof of his wit and learning, when he departed to God. 1549. Bucer lived but a little after. During which time somewhat by writing, but chiefly by reading and preaching openly (wherein the old man being painful in the word of God,2 never spared himself nor regarded his health) he brought all men into such admiration of him, that neither his friends could sufficiently praise him, neither his enemies in any point find fault with his singular life & sincere doctrine. A most certain token whereof may be his sumptuous burial, solemnised with so great assistance and gladness of all the degrees of the University, that it was not possible to devise more to the setting out and amplifying of the same. The whole manner and order of the doing whereof, being written by M. Nicholas Car, a learned man in a little treatise to Sir John Cheek Knight, with an Epistle full of consolation as concerning his departure added thereunto, was sent afterward unto Peter Martyr, then abiding at Oxford.
