Though the name of Martin Luther be famous, yet thou Martin Bucer, for piety, learning, labour, care, vigilance, and writing, art not to be held inferior to Luther. Bucer was a singular instrument of God, so was Luther. By the death of this most learned and most faithful man, the Church of Christ sustained a heavy loss; as Calvin witnesseth; and they who are studious of Calvin, are not ignorant how much he ascribes to Bucer; for thus he writes in a Letter to Viretus: What a manifold loss be•ell the Church of God in the death o• Bucer, as oft as I call to mind, I feel my heart almost rent asunder.
