¶The Epitaph or funerall verse of D. Redman, vp∣on the death of Mayster Bucer.

ET tu liuor edax procul hinc abscede maligna, facessito inuidentia, Et procul hinc nemesis, procul hinc & Momus abesto, labes lues{que} mentium, Daemonibus similes homines quae redditis, almam foedatis atque imaginem Quam nostro impressit generi pater ille supremus, similes sui dum nos creat: Contemptrix odij & mendacis nescia fuci Adesto sancta Veritas. Dicito quis qualis{que}, elatum funere nuper quem vidimus tam flebili? Est in quam misera hac defunctus luce Bucerus, lux literati & dux Chori, Doctrinae radios qui totum solis ad instar misit per orbem splendidos. Hunc dirae nuper sublatum vulnere mortis lugubre flet Gymnasium, Et pullata gemit maerens schola Cantabrigensis orbata claro sydere. Ergo, quasi obstructo doctrinae fonte, querelas precesque nunc fundit. Agnoscit nunquam se talem habuisse magistrum ex quo sit olim condita. Non vnquam Cathedrae gauisa est praeside tanto, tam nobili & claro duce. Cuius & ingenij & doctrinae munera, summum virtutis ornauerat decus, Integritas morum grauitas prudentia, sermo semper dei laudem sonans, Et sale conditus, qualem vult esse piorum Apostoli sententia. Accessit zelus feruens & praesule dignus, peccata semper arguens. Nunquam desidiae, aut languori deditus, vllum indulsit otium sibi. Credibele est nimio fatum accelerasse labore, prodesse cunctis dum studet. Sed frustra laudes auguste carmine nitor tam copiosas claudere. Ergo Bucere, scholae & suggestus gloria sacri, valeto etiam vel mortuus. Aeternum in superis foelix iam viuito regnis, exutus etsi corporis Terrenis spolijs, huius miseri atque caduci: Quod est sepulchro conditum Christus depositum reddet cum foenore magno, Iudex breui quum venerit.
