And as it is written for the Lasting Renown of the Corderius, whose Colloquies he taught us; That the Great CALVIN had been a Scholar to him; So this our AMERICAN Corderius had many Scholars that were a Crown unto him; yea, many that will be his Crown in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his Coming; yea, many that were got into the Heavenly World before him. And the mention of the Heavenly World, leads me to that which I would principally take notice of▪ His PIETY, I say, His PIETY; and his care to infuse Documents of Piety into the Scholars under his Charge, that he might carry them with him to the Heavenly World, When Aristotle set up a Monument for his Master Plato; he inscribed upon it, this Testimony, HE WAS ONE WHOM ALL GOOD MEN OUGHT TO IMITATE, AS WELL AS TO CELEBRATE. ⟨p. 23⟩MY MASTER went through' his Hard Work with so much Delight in it, as a Work for GOD and CHRIST, and His People: He so constantly Prayed with us every Day, and Catechised us every Week, and let fall such Holy Counsels upon us; He took so many Occasions, to make Speeches unto us, that should make us Afraid of Sin, and of incurring the fearful Judgments of God by Sin; That I do propose him for Imitation.
