Life of John Knox, Fifth Edition, Vol. 2 of 2 / Containing Illustrations of the History of the Reformation in Scotland

by Thomas M'Crie

SUPPLEMENT.

The first Poem inserted in the Supplement is so exceedingly rare, that the copy from which I have printed, is supposed to be unique. It is valuable as the principal events in our Reformer’s life are commemorated in it, and the leading features of his character delineated, by the pen of one who was personally acquainted with him. As a curious specimen of the Scottish language and versification at the period in which it was composed, the old orthography has been carefully retained. The serious reader will be pleased in tracing the vein of piety which runs through rhymes which must appear to him rude, and sometimes almost unintelligible.—Its author, John Davidson, was a regent, or teacher, in the University of St Andrews, and afterwards successively minister of Libberton, and of Salt‑Preston, now called Prestonpans. I have already referred to several of his other writings. Vol. i. p. [354]. Vol. ii. p. [241], [349]. He also published a Catechism, entitled, “Some Helpes for Young Schollers in Christianity,” printed at Edinburgh, by Robert Waldegrave in 1602. And he died about 1608. Note subjoined to Jameson’s edition of his Catechism, in 1708. Life of Davidson, in Wodrow’s MSS. vol. i. Bibl. Coll. Glas.

The Latin Poems which follow are taken from a manuscript in the Advocates’ Library, and exhibit traits in the characters of the principal Scottish Martyrs and Reformers, with allusions to several events in their lives, which I have not met with elsewhere. On this account, and also as a specimen of Scottish literature, I have published a selection from the MS., which appears to have been written about the beginning of the seventeenth century. From the corrections with which it abounds, there is reason to think that the copy in the Library had belonged to the author. It likewise contains Latin Poems, entitled, “Icones Regum Judæ et Israelis.”[—]The author, John Johnston, was a professor of St Mary’s College, in the University of St Andrews, at the close of the sixteenth, and commencement of the seventeenth, century; and was the intimate friend and associate of Andrew Melville, the learned principal of that College. He published, “Heroes ex omni Historia Scotica lectissimi. Lugduni Batavorum, 1603.” 4to. And also “Inscriptiones Heroicæ Regum Scotorum,” which were reprinted in “Deliciæ Poetarum Scotorum.” His verses on Buchanan are inserted in “Poetarum Scotorum Musæ Sacræ,” tom. ii. p. 500. It is said that he also published a book on the government of the church by bishops; but this I have not seen. There is a Life of Johnston, in Wodrow’s MSS. vol. ii. Bibl. Coll. Glas.

TO THE MAIST GODLIE, ANCIENT, AND WORTHIE
Schir Iohne Wischart of Pittarrow Knicht, M. Johne Dauid-
sone wissis the continuall assistance of the Spreit of
God, to the end, and in the end.

Considering with my self (maist worthie Knicht) the greit frailtie and vnsureness of all strenthis eirthly quhatsūeuer, quharin mā lefing god, vsis to put his traist on the ane part, and the sure fortres and saifgaird of vprichtnes, howbeit destitute of all aide warldly on the vther part: I culd not withhald my pen frō vttering of that praise and commendation of vprichtnes, quhilk in my mynde I had consauit of the same. Being chiefly mouit heirunto be the Miraculous (as I may weill call it) and maist wonderfull preseruatioun of that maist notabill seruand of God, and sinceir Preicheour of Christis Euangell, Iohne Knox. Quha being bot of small estimatioun befoir the eyis of the warld, (zit greit befoir God,) was hatit vnto the deith.And that euin be Kingis, Queenis, Princes, and greit men of the warld, and finally be all the rabill of Sathanis suddartis[364], in Scotland, Ingland, and France. Zea, not only was he hatit, and raillit on, bot also persecutit maist scharply, and huntit from place to place as ane vnworthie of ony societie with man. And althocht thay wer michtie and potent, zea, and wantit na euill will, and he on the vther syde ane pure man, alane, and oft tymes without help, or assistance of ye warld, zit was he michtely preseruit, and as in a maist sure saifgard (all the wickits attentis quha thristit nathing mair than his blude being frustrat) conducted to an maist quyet, peaciabill and happy end, to the greit aduancement of Goddis glorie, and singulare comfort of his Kirk, and to the confusioun of Sathan and discōfort of all his wickit instrumētis. Thairfoir that this sa notabil and euidēt ane documēt of the louing cair of our god towardis his seruāds svld not with him be buryit bot abyde recent in memorie till all the inhabitantis of this Realme in all ages to cum.I haue preissit[365] schortly in this lytill paper tomak, as it wer, ane memoriall of the same, and yat in that lāguage quhilk is maist cōmoun to this hail Realme, to the intent that asweill vnleirnit as lernit may be partakeirs of the same. Not that I think my self abill to handill sa worthie ane mater worthelie in ony toung, bot that partly I may schaw my gude will in this matter, and partly to gif occasioun to vtheris, that baith hes mair dexteritie in sic thingis, and greiter opportunitie of tyme, to intreit the same at greiter lenth. That be calling to mynd this notabill exēpill of Godis louing cair towardis vs, we in all thir feirfull dayis (quharin he that seis not tryall approaching neir is destitute of Iudgement) may be strenthnit and encourageit to ga fordwart vprichtly, eurie ane in our awin vocatioun, without declyning outher to the richt hand or the left.And principally that our watche men faint not, nor begin to iouk[366], or flatter with the world for feir of Tyrānis, bot that thay may haue brasin facis, and foirheidis of Iron againis the threitnings of the wickit, cōdempning impietie of all persounis in plane termis, following the ensāpill of this maist zelous seruād of God, of quhōe heirtofoir we hau maid mentioun, and that being assurit gif sa thay walk vprichtly in dischargeing of thair office, that thay ar in ye protectioun of the Almichtie.

¶ And this small frute of my sober trauellis, I haue thocht gude to offer and present to zow (maist worthie Knicht) not sa mekill for that, that I thocht it worthie to be presentit til ony: as that I wald let my gude will and grate[367] mynd, be the same appeir towardis zow, throw quhais procurement I obteinit the benefite of that godly and faithfull (thocht mockit and falsly traducit of the warld) societie, quhairof presently I am participant. For the quhilk I acknawledge me, and my humbill seruice alwayis addettit to zour honour. And howbeit (as I mon confes) na thing can proceid of me that may in ony wayis correspond to zour meritis towardis me: zit sal the thankfulnes of mynd at na tyme (God willing) be deficient. Quhilk is to be acceptit quhair vther thingis are lacking, in place of greit rewaird. And the rather haue I takin bauldness to dedicate this lytill Treateis vnto zour honour, baith becaus I vnderstude, zow euer to haue bene sen zour Chyldheid, ane vnfenzeitfauourar, and mantenar to zour power of vprichtnes, quhais praise in this lytill Volume is intreatit. And also, that this notabill seruand of God (quhais michtie preseruatioun, notwithstanding the wickitis rage, to ane quyet end, chiefly mufit me to this busines) was maist belufit of zow quhile he leuit, and yat for yat greit vprightness quhilk ze saw from tyme to tyme maist viuely expres the self in him. And finally, that your honour may be mufit heirby, as ze haue begunne and continewit to this day ane zelous professour of Goddis word, mantenar of the samin, and lufer of his seruandis: sa ze may perseuer to the end of zour lyfe, without sclander to zour professioun, euer approuing the treuth, and haitting impietie in all persounis, not leaning to warldly wisdome, nor louking for the pleasure of greit men in the warld: Sen nane of thir thingis, but only vprichtnes, can outher mak ane pleasand to God, or zit sure in this warld. And sa traisting that zour honour will accept this my sober offer (till God grant better occasioun of greter) intill gude part, I commit zow to the protectioun of the Almichtie, that quhen it sall pleis God to tak zow furth of this miserie, ze may end zour lyfe in the sanctificatioun of his haly name. To whom be praise and Glorie, for euer. Amen. From Sanct‑androis the XVIII. of February.

Or turning to and fra, from hand to hand.

Bot stoutly at the word of God to stand,

Bot sum perchance that winks mair wylelie,

Will say thay wait ane wyle[371] that I na wist,

With iouking thay will jangil[372] craftelie,

And on thair feit will ay licht quhen thay list,

Thinking all surenes thairin to consist:

Hypocrisie is quent[373] with quyetnes,

Bot all begylit thay ar into the mist;

For nathing can be sure but vprichtnes.

For quhat become of fals Achitophell,

For als far as he saw before his neis,

Becaus thay did eschew all vprichtnes.

And be the treuth bound bauldly till abyde,

For thay had God thair buckler for to be,

Quhome we mon grant to be ane strang fortres,

Psalm. 76.

Of quhome the Deuill can not get victorie,

Psalm. 89.

Nor all the enemies of vprichtnes.

Think weill my friendis this is na fenzeit fair,[374]

1 Sam. 17. 18.

For quha sa list of Dauid for to reid,

And zit how surely he did ay proceid;

2. Sam. 2. 3. 5. 8.

Becaus he walkit vprichtly in deid.

15. 16. 18. 20.

He was mair sure from Saulis cruelnes,

Nor gif ten thousand men intill his neid,

1 Sam. 23.

Had with him bene syne lackit vprichtnes.

Of sic exempills we micht bring anew,

Bot ane thair is that preifis our purpois plane,

Of Daniell that Propheit wyse and trew,

Dani. 6.

How oft was he in danger to be slane!

Into the Lyonis Den he fand na pane:

The three Children the fyre did not oppres.

Dani. 3.

I think this only Historie might gane,

To preif how sure a Towre is vprichtnes.

Bot zit becaus exempills fetchit far,

Mufis not so muche as thay thingis quhilk we se,

I purpois schortly now for to cum nar,

Vnto the but[375] quhair chiefly I wald be:

That is to schaw the prufe befoir zour ee

Of thir premissis, as all mon confes

That hes sene God wirking in this countrie,

How ane hes bene perseruit in vprichtnes.

It is Iohne Knox in deid quhome of I mene,

That feruent faithfull seruand of the Lord,

Quhome I dar bauldly byde at till haue bene,

Ane maist trew Preichour of the Lordis word.

I rak nathing quhat Rebalds[376] heir record,

Quha neuer culd speik gude of godlynes.

This man I say eschaipit fyre and sword,

And deit in peace, in praise of vprichtnes.

Bot that this may be maid mair manifest:

I will discurs sum thing in speciall,

Tuiching this Lamp, on lyfe quhill he did lest.

First he descendit bot of linage small;

As commaunly God vsis for to call

Amos. i. 7.

The sempil sort his summoundis til expres.

Mark. 1.

Sa calling him, he gaue him giftis with all

1. Cor. 1.

Maist excellent, besyde his vprichtnes.

Iaco. 2.

For weill I wait that Scotland neuer bure,

In Scottis leid[377] ane man mair Eloquent.

Into perswading also I am sure,

Was nane in Europe that was more potent.

In Greik and Hebrew he was excellent,

And als in Latine toung his propernes,

Was tryit trym quhen scollers wer present.

Bot thir wer nathing till his vprichtnes.

For fra the tyme that God anis did him call,

To bring thay joyfull newis vnto this land,

Quhilk hes illuminat baith greit and small,

He maid na stop but passit to fra hand,

Idolatrie maist stoutly to ganestand:

And chiefly that great Idoll of the Mes.

Howbeit maist michtie enemies he fand,

Zit schrinkit he na quhit from vprichtnes.

The greuous Galayis maid him not agast,

Althocht the Prelats gold in greit did geif,

Ouir schipburd in the sey him for to cast,

He fand sic grace they sufferit him to leif.

Zea mairatour thay did him not mischeif,

As thay did his Companzeounis mair and les,

With pynefull panis quhen thay thair pythis did preif,

God sa prouydit for his vprichtnes.

In Ingland syne he did eschaip the Ire,

Of Iesabell, that Monstour of Mahoun,[378]

In Scotland nixt with terrour him to tyre,

Thay brint his picture in Edinburgh Toun.

Bot sen to Scotland last he maid him boun,[379]

Quhat battell he hes bidden ze may ges,

Sen Dagon and thay Deuillis he gart ding doun,

In spite of thame that hatit vprichtnes.

Thay that hes bene cheif in Authoritie,

For the maist part had him at deidly feid,

Zit he eschaipit all their crueltie,

Howbeit oftymes thay did deuyse his deid,

Zea, sum wer knawin perfitely be the heid

Quha vndertuke his Dirige for to dres,

Zit bauldly be hes baner he abaid,

And did not iouk ane ioit from vprichtnes.

Bot cheifly anis he was put to ane preace,[380]

Quhen that the Quene of tressoun did accuse him

Befoir hir Lords in haly Rudehous place.

Quhair clawbacks of the Court thocht till abuse him

Sa prudētly this Propheit yair did vse him,

Into refuting of thair fulischenes,

That all the haill Nobilitie did ruse[381] him

And praisit God for his greit vprichtnes.

Quhen Quene and Court could not get him cōuict,

Bot sa wer disappointit of thair pray,

Thay fryit in furie that he schaipit quick,

Zit at the leist to get thair wills sum way,

Thay wald haue had him wardit for ane day,

In Dauois Towre, zea, for ane hour or les,

It was denyit for ocht the Quene culd say.

Thair micht be sene how sure was vprichtnes.

Bot in quhat perrell trow ze he was last,

Quhen Edinburgh he left with hart full sair,

Doubtles na les nor ony that hes past,

In spyte thay spak that him thay suld not spair

Thay suld him schuit into the pulpit thair

Becaus he did rebuke their fylthenes,

And mischant[382] murther that infects the air,

Zit God preseruit him in vprichtnes.

Mony may dangers nor I can declair,

Be sey and land this Propheit did sustene,

In France and Ingland, Scotland, heir and thair,

Quhilk I refer to thame that mair hes bene

Intill his company and sic things sene,

Bot this far schortly I haue maid progress,

To preif how God maist surely dois mantene,

Sic as continew intil vprichtnes.

For this Excellent seruand of the Lord,

Vnto the deith was hatit as we knaw,

For sinceir preiching of the Lordis word

With Kingis, Princes, hie estait and law,

Zit in thair Ire him micht thay not ouirthraw,

He did depart in peace and plesandnes:

For all the troublis that ze hard vs schaw

That he sustenit for lufe of vprichtnes.

And this is merwell gif we will consider,

Ane sempill man but[383] warldly force or aide,

Aganis quhome Kings and Princes did confidder[384]

How he suld fend[385] from furie and thair fead,[386]

Syne leaue this lyfe with list for all thair plaid,[387]

He had ane surer gaird we mon confes,

Nor ony warldly strength that can be maid,

Quhilk was nathing but only vprichtnes.

Bot sum may say quhairto suld thow prefer

Bot quhat of this? my purpois zit is plane:

That is, that they are surer day, and nicht,

Psalm. 91.

For all this wo, nor ony warldly wicht:

Psalm. 118.

For in thair conscience is mair quyetnes

In greitest troublis, nor the men of micht

Hes in thair Castells, without vprichtnes.

For quhen Belshazzer greit King of the Eist,

Dani. 5.

Ane thousand of his Princes had gart call,

Drinkand the wyne befoir thame at the Feist,

Intill his prydefull Pomp Imperiall:

Euin in the middis of this his mirrie hall

He saw ane sicht that sank him in sadnes,

Quhen he persauit the fingers on the wall,

Wryting his wrak for his vnvprichtnes.

Quhat sall I say? I neid not till insist,

To schaw how thay to God that dois Rebell,

In thair maist micht can not be haldin blist,

For in this warld they do begin thair hell,

As Cain did that slew the iust Abell:

Surenes that man can haue, is vprichtnes.

Sa be this surenes now I do not mene,

That Godds seruands ar neuer tane away,

Be cruell men, for the contrair is sene,

For God oftymes of his Iudgements I say,

Letts thame so fall, as thocht befoir the day:

To plague the warld for thair vnthankfulnes,

Quhilk is not worthie of sic men as thay.

Esai. 3.

Bot I mene this be strenth of vprichtnes.

Heb. 11.

That quhen it plesis God to let thame fall,

Thay haue sic inwart comfort without cair,

Of lyfe assurit that lestis for euer mair.

And zit sum tyme he dois his seruands spair,

Quhilk we haue sene as we can not deny,

Into Iohne Knoxis michtie preseruation,

Quhilk till our comfort we suld all apply,

I mene that ar the Faithfull Congregatioun.

Sen he departit with sic consolatioun

Euen as he leuit, he deit in Faithfulnes,

Being assurit in Christ of his Saluatioun,

As in the end he schew with vprichtnes.

Sa is he past from pane to plesure ay,

And till greit eis doubtles vntill him sell,

Bot for ane plague till vs I dair weill say,

As sair I feir we sall heir schortly tell,

Schir wink at vice[395] beginnis to tune his bell.

Bot on this heid na mair I will digres,

That gude men hes mair rest in all perrell

Nor wickit in thair welth bot vprichtnes.

Then sen alwayis we se that men ar sure

Throw vprichtnes quhidder thay liue or die,

Psalm. 37.

Let all gud Cristianes Imploy thair cure,

In thair vocatioun to leif vprichtlie;

And cheifly let all preicheouris warnit be,

That this day God and the gude caus profes,

Na wayis to wink at sic Impietie

Excellent seruand of God.

THOW pure contempnit Kirk of God,

Quhat leid[410] may let the to lament:

Sen baith the Tyger and the Tod,

Maist cruellie cummis the to rent.

Thow wants ane watcheman that tuke tent,

Baith nicht and day that nocht suld noy the,

Thy lemand[411] Lamp that schew sic licht,

Was gude Iohne Knox, ane man vpricht,

Quhais deith thow daylie may deploir.

His presence maid thy bewtie bricht,

And all thy doings did decoir:

He did him haillie indeuoir,

Thy richteous actioun to mantene,

And libertie to the restoir,

Pleading thy caus with King and Quene.

He neuer huntit benefice,

Nor catchit was with Couatice,

Thocht he had offers mony one

And was als meit for sic office

As outher gellie[412] Iok or Iohne,

His mynd was ay sa the vpon,

Thy only weilfair was his welth;

Thairfoir lament sen he is gone,

For thou wilt mis ane Moderatour,

Quhais presence mufit greit and small,

And terrifeit baith theif and tratour,

With all vnrewlie Rubiatour,[414]

Thair ionkers durst not kyth thair cure,

For feir of fasting in the frateur,[415]

And tynsall of the charge thay bure.

But now I feir that thow sall se

Greit missing of that man to be,

Quhen craftie heidis sall na mair hyde

And to sic bablers giue na eir.

Tak tent quha sic thingis dois begin,

And with sic matteris mynts to mell;[417]

For Sathan ceisis not fra sin,

The Kirk of Christ seiking to quell.

Sic foly faill not to refell:

For when the reik[418] beginnis to ryse,

The fyre will follow as thay tell,

Be it not quencheit be the wyse.

And the foirwairnd of thy molest,

Quhairby thow micht thyself prepair.

And freith the from thy fais aboue the;

For thow art the maist feruent flock

That Scotland beiris, as deid dois proue the.

And giue God sa handills the best,

Allace what sall cum of the rest,

Except repentance rin and red:

It is ane mirrour manifest,

Of dule and dolour to be dred,

To fall on thame this barret[420] bred.

Thocht of this feir thow salbe fred,

Becaus that watcheman thow dois want,

And comfortit thy congregatioun:

The Lord can send the consolatioun,

Gif thow giue him dew adoratioun,

As alreddy thow hes probatioun.

God grant thy Preicheours vprichtnes.

¶ Ze Lords also that dois frequent

The loft in Sanct Geills Kirk lament,

That Bogill[421] thair that ze hard blaw,

With quhome quhyles ze wer small content,

For the schairp threitnings he did schaw:

Zit thay maid zow sumquhat stand aw,

Thocht not so muche as neid requyrit.

This day in graue he lyis full law,

Quhilk langtyme was of him desyrit.

For seing all things not go weill,

Thow knawis he lude the by the laue,[422]

For first in the he gaue the rout

Till Antechrist that Romische slaue,

Preicheing that Christ did only saue.

For his greit graces schawin to the,

In sending the his seruands trew,

And vther gentill men anew,

And all Godds seruands to backbyte,

Traducing this man principallie:

Patritius Hamiltonvs,[426]

Martyr, Andreapoli xxviii. Febr. An. Christi 1527.

E Cælo alluxit primam Germania lucem,

Qua Lanus, et vitreis qua fluit Albis aquis.

Intulit hinc lucem nostræ Dux prævius oræ.

O felix terra! hoc si foret usa duce!

Dira superstitio grassata tyrannide in omnes,

Omniaque involvens Cimmeriis tenebris,

Ille nequit lucem hanc sufferre. Ergo omnis in unam,

Fraude, odiis, furiis, turba cruenta coit.

Igne cremant. Vivus lucis qui fulserat igne,

Par erat, ut moriens lumina ab igne daret.

Joannes Machabævs,[427]

Alpinus, Christianismi in Dania Instaurator, Hafniæ Theol. Professor; floruit 1550, teste Balæo.

I.

Qvae tulit in lucem me Scotia, luce frui me

Non tulit. Haud mirum: sprevit et ipsa Deum.

Anglia vix cepit. Subeuntem Teutonis ora

Suscipiens fovit L. . onis in gremio.

Lvtheri hic tetigisse datum dextramque Philippi:

Cernere et hic Christvm lucidiore die.

Me doctore dehinc amplexa est Dania Christvm;

Hafnia dat patriam, datque eadem tumulum.

Huc vitæ cursus: supremi hic meta laboris.

Hinc vehor exilii liber in astra metu.

Havd jactura gravis, patria tellure carere:

In patria gravior posse carere Deo.

II.
De Joh. Machabæo Patre, et Christiano,
Filio Patris simillimo.

Lipsiæ Theol. Professor, de se et Joh. Machabæo.

Sors eadem exilii nobis, vitæque laborumque,

Ex quo nos Christi conciliavit amor.

Una salus amborum, unum et commune periclum;

Pertulimus pariter præstite cuncta Deo.

Uterque a sacris Jac. Hamiltono Scotie Gubernatori, uterque Christi nomine Exul; et ille postea Martyr in Anglia, 22 decemb. 1557, Londinj.

Postquam iterum premitur redivivi gloria Christi,

Et crudelis adhuc omnia Presul agit,

Cessimus inviti Invidiæ, et crudelibus iris.

Ah! facilis nocuit Principis ingenium.

Doctores nuper quæ nos adscripserat Aula

Exul erat: nobis sitne probro exilium?

Quid si mors adeunda sit? O mors illa beata!

Qua vitæ melior parta corona foret.

Georgivs Sophocardivs,[431]

Sive Wys‑hartus, Martyr, Andreapoli, Kal. Martii an. 1546.

Quam bene conveniunt divinis nomina rebus!

Divinæ hic Sophiæ corque oculusque viget.

Qui Patris arcanam Sophiam, cælique recessus

Corde fovens, terris Numina tanta aperit.

Vnus amor Christvs. Pro Christo concitus ardor

Altius humanis Enthea corda rapit.

Præteritis aptans præsentia, jvdicat omnia;

Et ventura dehinc ordine quæque docet.

Ipse suam mortem, tempusque modumque profatur,

Fataque Carnifici tristia Sacrilego.

Terrificam ad flammam stetit imperterritus. Ipsa

Quin stupet invictos sic pavefacta animos,

Vt vix ausa dehinc sit paucos carpere. Tota

Ilicet innocui victa cruore viri est.

Johannes Wedderbvrnvs,[432]

Pulsus in exilium, an. 1546. Exul in Anglia moritur 1556.

I.

Non meriti est nostri, meritas tibi dicere grates,

Aut paria, aut aliqua parte referre vicem.

Quæ meruisse alii vellent, nec posse mereri est:

Hæc velle, hæc posse, hæc te meruisse tuum est.

Sic facis atque canis sacra: sic agis omnia, nil ut

Sanctius, et nusquam purior ulla fides.

Hinc nullum magis invisum caput hostibus: hinc et

Nemo umquam meruit charior esse bonis.

Grandius hoc meritum, nil te meruisse fateris,

Humanis meritis nec superesse locum.

II.

De Johanne, Jacobo, et Roberto Wedderbvrno, Fratribus.

Divisvm imperium, per tres, tria Numina, Fratres,

Infera quæque vides, quæque superna, canunt.

Vos miror potius tres vero nomine fratres,

Vosque supra veneror, Numina vana, Deos;

Concordes animas, clarissima lumina gentis,

Tres paribus studiis, tres pietate pares.

Felices qui vos tales genuere parentes,

Quæque orbi tellus pignora rara dedit.

Progenitos Cælo Alectum[433] dedit inclyta terris:

Inde Dei‑Donum nomen habere putem.

Johannes Knoxvs.[434]

Primus Evangelii Instaurator in Scotia, post superiora cruenta illa tempora, obiit placide Edinburgi XXIV. IXbris, hora noctis undecima, 1572.

I.

Hic ille est Scotorum Knoxus Apostolus olim,

Cui prior hos ingens Beza dedit titulos:

Interpres cæli, vero qui Numine plenus,

Plurima venturi præscia signa dedit.

Facundum pectus. Libertas maxima fandi.

Totus inexhausto flagrat amore Dei.

Quam pia cura Poli, tam humani meta furoris:

Tanto plus victor, quo furit iste magis.

Post varios hostes aggressa Calumnia tandem

Hoc didicit, nulli nec sibi habere fidem.

Herovm Pietas odio est mortalibus. Unum hoc

Arguat Heroem hunc cœlitus esse datum.

II.

Cvra Dei: Romæ pestis: Mundi horror: et Orci

Pernicies: cæli fulmen ab arce tonans.

Limite in hoc modico tanti jacet hospitis umbra:

Johannes Willocvs.[435]

Obiit in Anglia.

Cum Patriæ implessem donis cœlestibus urbes,

Mille olim obiiciens mortibus hanc animam,

Ipsa adeo exultat cæli sic luce sereni,

Pene sibi ut cælum, et lux queat esse aliis:

Excessi patria lætus tellure, libensque:

Vt vicina istis crescerat aucta opibus.

Hic etiam sevi cælestia semina verbi;

Gensque pia hic nostram plurima sensit opem.

Hæc et opes mihi, cumque opibus cumulavit honores;

Nec secus ac Patria me Anglia civem habuit.

Bis civis gemina in patria: mihi tertia restat;

Possidet hæredem tertia sola suum.

Christophorvs Gvdmannvs,[436]

Anglus, Ecclesiastes Andreapolitanus: moritur in Cestrensi provincia Angliæ an. 1601.

Non Ego, ceu credis, Scotis peregrinus in oris:

Publica nec rerum cura aliena mihi.

Hic geniti Christo, hic geritur Republica Christi:

Christi Ego sum. In Christo his sumque ego congenitus;

Quin genui hic partem Christo. Patremque Ducemque

Et licet, et gaudent me vocitare suum.

Queis patriam peperi: non hanc: sed quæ altera cælo est,

Hac prior; his dicar qui peregrinus ego:

Alterutra jactent se alii regione profectos,

Nomine se jactat utraque terra meo.

Johannes Areskinus,[437]

Dunius, Equestri familia ortus, Religionis gravis et constans assertor, concionator nobilis, natus annos LXXX, moritur XII Martij, 1590.

Post tot avos veteres, et tot decora inclyta rerum

Surgit Areskino gloria major adhuc:

Scilicet illa Crucis Christi, quæ sola perennis:

Quæ regit una homines, quæ facit una deos.

Robora consiliis, pietatem miscet utrisque;

Et faciendo docet, atque docendo facit.

Heroem nullum huic æquarint secula. Nullus

Inter avos veteres fama et honore prior.

Johannes Brabnervs,[438]

Aberdonensis, Ecclesiastes Celurcanus[439] et Dunensis, moritur an. 1564, postr. Kal. Novembris.

Nascendi primam dedit Aberdonia lucem:

Ille renascendi munera rettribuit.

Vtrum ergo debet Patriæ plus, an Patria illi?

Mutua sic rerum gratia rite coit.

---

Johannes Vin‑ramvs,[440]

Cænobii Augustinianorum olim Præfectus apud Andreanos, postea inter Christi Ministros: obiit senex XXIIX. Septemb. 1581.

Quo te censu hominum, quo te, Vin‑Rame, reponam

In numero? hic multum est anxia mens animi.

Se prodit Pietas, neque turbida lucis imago est:

Spargit enim de se lumina clara sui.

Quin te aperi tandem manifesto in lumine. Pelle

Turbidulos sensus, cumque pudore metus.

Cum pietate etenim postquam se nubila miscet

Mens hominum, lucis deperit ille vigor.

Gaudet agens Pietas manifesta in luce. Nec illa

Sit Pietas, quæ haud pro scit Pietate mori.

Johannes Rowivs,[441]

Ecclesiastes Perthensis, obit xvi. VIIIbris an. 1580.

Consilio præstans, rebus gravis auctor agendis,

Præcipuos inter, Lumina prima Patres.

Cognitio varia: immensa experientia rerum.

Omnigenam linguam mens præit ingenii:

Exactor disciplinæ, vindexque severus,

Ipse sibi censor, seque ad amussim habuit:

Sancta domus, castique lares, frons læta, severa:

Larga manus miseris, mensa benigna bonis.

Vrbis delicium: sancti pia copula amoris:

Una fides, fidei publica cura simul

Clara viris, cultuque decens, pulcherrima Pertha:

Rowivs at Perthæ haud ultima fama fuit.

---

Jacobvs Lausonivs,[442]

Ecclesiastes Edinburgensis, obiit xii. Octobris an. 1584.

Ingenio felix Lausonivs, ore diserto,

Acer judicio, consiliisque gravis.

Corpore non magno, mens ingens: Spiritus ardens,

Invectumque decus pectoris atque animi.

Non tulit Impietas. Patria migrare necesse est.

Mitior in profugum terra aliena fuit.

Hospitii cui jura volens vivo ista dedisset,

Multa gemens tristi in funere dat tumulum.

---

David Fergvsivs,[443]

Pastor ad Fermilo‑dunum, obiit xxiij Augusti an. 1598.

Qvem non erudiit solers Academia, quem non

Finxit Stagira nobilis:

Nesciit ille tamen nescire illa omnia solers,

Quæ et ista et illa prodidit,

Quin Doctore Deo scivit meliora sequutus,

Quæ et ista et illa nesciit.

Disce hinc quæ melius doceas Academia. Tuqe

Disce hinc Stagira nobilis.

Georgivs Haivs.

Postqvam animum primis patriæ effinxere Camenæ

Artibus, excepit culta Lvteta sinu.

Cecropiis opibus, spoliisque orientis onustus,

Intulit in patriam munera opima suam.

Ingenium vegetum comitatur gratia linguæ

Lactea Nectareo verba lepore fluunt.

Dum parat excedens locupletes linquere natos,

Publica privatis posthabuisse ferunt.

Optima sed Pietas patrimonî portio. Privis

Si nimium indulges, publica rapta ruunt.
