An Apology of the Remonstrants confession An Answer to the Essay of the Leyden Professors with other Books In Dutch he wrote a Treatise of true Antiquity against the Papists Three Treatises against James Triglandius then Preacher at Amsterdam since Professor of Divinity at Leyden with other books In the second year after his return he entred into a Matrimonial state there being then hope of a more peaceable time marrying at Rotterdam that most choice and vertuous Gentlewoman Mrs. Mary Pesser the widow of Mr. Henry Niellius a Preacher of that City and the younger brother of Mr. Charles Niellius above-mentioned They lived together but without issue most piously peaceably and comfortably to the end of the years 1641 at which time she finished her course But before this in the year 1634 He went to Amsterdam to be President in the Remonstrants Scholastick Nursery or Colledge which was erected there to be as an University for the instructing of Youth in Divinity that were intended for Ministers of the Church How faithfully and diligently he exercised himself here we have an illustrious testimony from his copious learned and most usefull Theological Institutions and the Answer of 64 Questions proposed to him by his Disciples also from his learned and eloquent Sermons to the people also his true Remonstrant Divine and his Answer to the 10 Dilemma's of a certain Popish Doctor and other works of his Whilest he was thus labouring some occasions forced him to Rotterdam where Anno 1639 he fell dangerously sick and for some moneths kept his bed and so far was he gone that there was little hope of his recovery But at length God restored him to health and so strengthened him that he returned to his charge at Amsterdam and as diligently laboured among them as before After his return it seemed good to the Remonstrants to publish a plain Catechism for the instructing of the more ignorant sort Then Abraham Heydan at that time a Preacher at Leyden afterwards Professor of Divinity there published an Examination of this Catechism the defence of which our Episcopius undertook and finished in a considerable large Volume which came not forth till after his death For in the beginning of the year 1643 when he was well nigh 60 years old he fell mortally sick His disease is called Ischuria a dangerous suppression of the Vrine which was so pertinacious and obstinate that for eleven days he could not make one drop of water although some skilfull Physicians used the utmost of their art to master or at least somewhat to mitigate this his mercyless and stubborn enemy This Excrement of which he afterward avoided but little mixing it self with the blood of the whole body so corrupted the Crassis and temperature thereof that he could not possibly long subsist He lay sick two moneths and above and for some weeks before his death was deprived of sight Which loss whilest there was any hope of his recovery had been exceeding grievous unto him had not his deep and almost continual sleeping lessened the same For sometimes he complained of it to his friends that did frequently visit him saying that he should not be able any more to serve the Church of Christ At length on the 4th of April about the 8th hour in the morning at which time the moon was in the Eclipse he peaceably fell asleep in the Lord. And the 4th day after was carryed forth a great multitude of all sorts of persons following the herse unto the West-Church and was there interred by his wife His death many much lamented and many Epicedium's or funeral Verses of his praise and commendation were published both in Dutch and Latin Caspar Barlaeus the most renowned Poet of that time and who lived not full two years after him published a most excellent Latin Epicaedium in his commendation which is prefixed to the first Volume of Episcopius his works Thus we have taken a short view of Episcopius from his birth to his death His life was unblameable and illustrious for zeal to the glory of God and mans salvation His Love to the Churches peace and concord added much to his commendation He was indeed much conversant in Controversies not of choyce but through necessity He was often wont to complain of his constraint to this kind of exercise His patient bearing of jnjuries and readiness to forgive after the example of his Master Christ contributed not a little to his praise In alms-deeds he was to his power ready and cheerfull And such was his modesty and humble temper that his rare endowments and great Atchievments he esteemed as nothing On his sick-bed his Speeches were gracious full of piety towards God charity towards men and confidence in Christ His name now and memory is blessed with them especially that without prejudice peruse his works that in two considerable Volumes are now publick in the Latin tongue which I could wish that all men well understood were it but to read Episcopius I doubt not but there are many who have much improved themselves by his writings Our famous Hales is not doubtless without companions of whom this is reported by Mr. Anthony Farindon his familiar friend that he himself often told him that at the well pressing of Jo. 3 16. by Episcopius he bade Jo. Calvine Good-night It would be in vain for me here to inlarge who am speaking to those that through unacquaintance with Latin ● are uncapable to see the great knowledge and eloquence of our Episcopius as for those who converse honestly with his Writings they need not me But I would not that any should think of me that I take all his sayings for gospel No I believe that his Writings as well as other mens must be read with judgment for I nothing doubt but that Errata's may be found in his works not only such that are justly imputable to the Transcriber and Printer but such also that are the Authors who was subject to erre though much more free from errors than many FINIS Books Printed for Francis Smith at the Elophant and Castle without Temple-bar BAptism before or after Faith and Repentance largely discussed not onely in publick Disputations Managed by many Ministers before Thousands of people but also Mr. Baxter Dr. Holmes Dr. Featly Mr. Marshall Mr. Blake Mr. Cook Mr. Cotton Their arguments for and against truly controverted being a subject very useful in these inquiring times for general satisfaction in this point so much controverted in folio 10 s. 6. d.
