AFTER this CATALOGUE, I will here take the Liberty of borrowing two or three Lines from ••••••ANAN'S E••••••••dium on CALVIN and applying them to the Doctor.

Hunc ••rgo in Portum caelo plaudente receptum, Tu licet in placida tranquillus Pace quiescas; Non tamen omnino po••uit mors invida totum Tollere MATHERUM terris; Aeterna manebunt Ingenii Monumenta sui; et livoris iniqui Languida paulatim cum Flamma resederit, omne, Religio qua pura nitet se funde•• in Oras Fama tui —

WHICH Lines I have Englished after this manner,

THO' Heaven rejoice you're of your Port possest, And you may now in Peace and Safety rest: Yet envious Death, which him reduc'd to Clay, Our MATHER could not wholly urge away: No, No; Eternal must his Works remain; The rich Productions of his Fruitful Brain! When by Degrees, as a weak Flame of Fire, Curs'd Envy shall with trembling Hirts expire; Then where there's any pure Religion found. MATHER, thy Name shall reach, thy Fame shall found.

FINIS.
