death with so deepe iudgement and good successe that although his intellectuall habitudes had not very farre beene surmounted and darkened through the merueilous brightnesse of his morall and theologall vertues yet in respect of his learning and studie onely he deserued great praise and in troth he was neuer other then most learned and a great fauourer of learned men Who did euer shewe them more pleasure or receiue them more courteously Besides the Seminaries and Colledges as well at Pauy as here the Lectures the Stipends with such and so many thinges done to behoofe of learning besides the bookes which hee hath of himselfe written and now that the bridle of his modestie doth no longer deteine I hope as my selfe haue seene them so comming to light all the world shall behold them in them perceiue as in him selfe whether were more the holy writinges or good maners This lo●e of learning and holinesse of life he practized so diligently in himselfe that through Gods grace and the inspiration of the holy Ghost he was in respect of his vertues knowledge and holy life elected Pope his name from Hugh good Companion was chaunged and called Gregory the xiij During his Papacie he liued so religiously and deuoutly that the whole life of a man were little enough to rehearse the same But herein I repose my self vpon that zeale which I perceiue in euery one to commend him wherby I may shortly see so many proofes verses and rithmes with such histories so many Orations and volumes to his honor that all these thinges as well such as I cannot touch as the rest which I mention and speake of shall briefly be disciphered and liuely coloured foorth For now to rehearse all the holy workes of our good Sheepheard or to endeuour to set foorth that very patterne of a Bishop which he hath expressed in himself to say trueth I thinke vnpossible and much lesse to beleeue that the very summarie of those things that he hath done may be drawne into any anales or chronicle Neither can I cōceiue any meanes to attaine therto vnlesse some one haue in forme of remēbrances been dayly collecting the course of his deeds works For my part in this short discourse that I haue to prosecute as one not able to to restraine the whole sea I will goe see if I may gather the water at the riuers and brookes from whēce this sea doth arise that is from his vertues which in him haue wrought so many holy workes notwithstanding I might at once in generall words say that all vertues beseeming a Bishop which S. Paule and others doe speake of were to be found in him Helas how this holy Shepheard burned in loue how hee made him selfe leane for you O ye poore artificers Ladies yong infants and poore beggers helas ye all haue lost your Father the shepheard is dead and the sheepe remaine a pray to the wolues How so euer it is here of may we plainly see O Roome that he bare thee singuler good will and in deede for I will not conceale thy commendation it is euident that thou diddest answere his good will with reciprocall amitie witnesse this thy assembly these Sobs and these Teares doe testifie thy acknowledging thereof besides all other thinges helas twoo bitter and too sweete together euen y t night of his departure was to you and to me infortunate O great O great pittie what could be seen more worthy compassion and teares then the fearefull stirre of the people It seemed when the most horrible sound of the Bell called Aue-Maria that gaue notice of his death to the ende to pray to GOD for him sent the Furyes to all both men and women One ranne here another there some two togither others without order or reason al wept all cryed all houled out saying Ah good GOD whereto are wee brought What shall become of vs If the infection doth afflict vs who shall pray for vs Ah that we had not deserued it Oh how God is wroth with vs with many other exclamations sufficient to haue rent the Marble stones and clouen the walles in sunder Hee was a man of much prayer and reading as euer was any and in priuate behauiour had not his like Two thinges there were that made him wonderfull wise The one he would in all affayres heare counsayle The other hee had stil recourse to prayer Truely he was as wise as holy I confesse that in respect of his example onely I learned to vnderstand this place of S. Paule concerning his care of all the Churches Quis infirmatur ego non infirmor Quis scandalizatur ego non vror Who is weake and I am not sicke Or who is offended and I burne not And that which followeth To bee briefe toward the end of his dayes and beeing hoare heared hee conceiued two excellent imaginations The one concerning that great and wonderfull Colledge that is now at buylding in your Roome for the teaching a wonderfull matter of all Languages in the word The other the same which he propounded and began to put in execution touching the recouery of the goods of the Cath. Apost Romish Church The same was it which he did so highly commend to the Cleargie yea to the Christian princes and to his Successor to the end that y e Romayne Sea might recouer the full brightnesse of her glory and to depriue the enemy of mankinde of that innumerable gaine of soules that through his subtilty he doth daily make These were his last words when he left vs with the water in our eyes and sorrow in our heartes for the losse of a thing of so great value Neuerthelesse sith it is to no purpose to weepe it resteth that wee doe two things The one that so much as in vs lyeth we endeuour to reteyne those notable institutions and walk in that path which he hath prescribed for vs The other that we haue recourse to God with prayer that he will send vs a Successor worthy him and that as Simplician succeded S. Ambrose so to this Ambrose another Simplician in vertue and holinesse may succeede This is that small matter Oh blessed soule which my foolish and vnmeete tongue is able this day to vtter of thee in middest of these sighes and lamentations Now shall it cease howbeit at time conuenient both this day and euer my hart shall discourse of thee Oh wretch that I am O ye Romayne people to whō hapneth still the contrary of that which happened to the Romaine Souldier that was wounded and maymed vpon one of his legs at a certaine victory that he obteyned for he sayd that at euery steppe that he set and vpon the least payne that he felt of his leg he called to mynde the most honorable blason of his glory but I contrariwise in the least commendations that I may obteyne shall thinke vpon my losses For when so euer I shall boste that I haue bene seruant to such a holinesse so great a parsonage I must necessarily withall remember what a good I am depriued of Let vs therefore pray to our good GOD that it may please him of his grace with his holy spirite to inspire the most reuerent Cardinals the Electors of the holy Apost and Roomish sea to the end his holinesse successor succeeding in the holy Sea may likewise succeede in those vertues and holinesse wherewith he was endued and replenished AMEN ●●pish De●●…es do ra●●er imitate ●●…y Duns ●●en the ●●ophet ●●uid who ●●…teth ●●…wne the 〈◊〉 of man 〈◊〉 consist of 〈◊〉 yeares ●●…ppie ●●…wes to 〈◊〉 true ●●urch ●●en the ●embers 〈◊〉 Anti●●rist de●●ease Childish ●easons and ●orse De●initie No Spouse but a Strūpet spotted with spirituall fornication Beastly and blasphemous deuinitie fit for so leaud a Bishop and so vnlearned a Chaplaine A similitude most fondly applied The head which sought to ouerthrow the true Church disswade subiects f●… their aleg●…ance to thei Pri●… to mai●…taine his owne Pō●… and glor●● The continencie and virginitie of the Popish Clergie doth consist in keeping of Concubines ●●ood com●●nion to ●raytors 〈◊〉 euil cō●●nion to ●●e godly The Wolf is dead a●● the Sheep● wāt a goo● Sheephea●● How could ●he Pope ●eede the ●rayers of men sith ●imself can ●orgiue sins Some Tra●terous deuice for th● persecutiō of the Gospell
