that day in which God will make his dead body which we have laid in the earth to be conformable to the glorious body of his Son according to the power whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself But we so long as it pleases God shall be tossed with these waves till he having at sometime compassion on us also shall call us every one in his own order out of this miry clay into heavenly joys keeping in the mean while in the church of the saints the blessed memory of Mr. James Arminius with this Elogy That he was a Hollander whom they that knew him could not sufficiently esteem Whom they that esteemed him not did never sufficiently know Finally most worthy Au●itors being desirous to exhort you to the Churches amiable concord I shall use no other than the words of the Apostle John Beloved let us love one another because love is of God And whosoever l●veth his brother is born of God and knoweth God He that loveth not knoweth not God for God is love FINIS A short and Compendious History of Simon Episcopius Professor of Divinity in the University of LEYDEN in HOLLAND Candid Reader THat in a very great part which learned Bertius in the preceding Oration hath justly premised touching the difficulty of his task and Province who was to describe so excellent a man as Reverend Arminius may be as justly to say no more taken up by him that undertakes a descriptio nof Episcopius a man well nigh incomparabl i● all things commendable in a man in a Christian in a Minister of the Gospel of Christ It 's one of Amsterdams chiefest Ornaments and deserves to be recorded with letters of Gold in the memorials of that famous City that Simon Episcopiue in the year 1583. was born there His Parents Egbert and Gertrude are worthy remembrance not only for their pious Offspring I mean their eldest son Rembert also John but especially the youngest our Simon for their other children four sons and three daughters all died in their youth or infancy but also for their own piety being then zealous professors of the truth when extream dangers closely attended on every side those that followed her Simon Episcopius that renowned Person of whom we are now to speak brought with him into the world many rare natural Endowments which aftterwards by good education and much industry were greatly improved and were in his conversation choicely imployed to the end of his days Rembert his e●dest brother soon espying in him grounds of hope as to his usefulness in the best of imployments did earnestly solicite his Parents to denote him wholly to learning His Parents notwithstanding their Estate was insufficient by reason of their numerous offspring to yield him at his studies a competent maintenance yet having assistance freely and privately offered by Cornelius Benning a man of Consular dignity were perswaded to dedicate their Simon to the study of learning He therefore was committed as soon as possible to the care and discipline of Peter Vekeman a Schoolmaster at that time famous under whose manuduction he in so little time made so great a progress in Latin and Greek that he was commended by diverse great men to the honourable Senate of Amsterdam which took and received him into the number of their Scholars when his parents by the advice of Mr. John Kuchlinus and Mr. James Arminius and by their perswasion gave their consent for at the first they were somewhat averse thereto When he had at Amsterdam run out his course there in the Grammar school the Curatours of the School did in the year 1600 declare him by Solemn sentence meet and worthy to be promoted to the University that he might there apply himself to more high and manly studies He was therefore sent away to the University of Leyden into the Colledge of the illustrious States of Holland and West-friezland in which Colledge was then President that most learned man John Kuchlinus who when he was minister at Amsterdam had contracted a firm and intimate friendship with the father of our Episcopius This hopeful Plant had not been long in the Academical nursery but he lost his most loving and beloved Parents for Anno 1602 his father dyed in the next year his Mother He though much afflicted with this adversity yet being thoughtfull and desirous of his transplanting into some place of usefulness to the Church of God neglects not the present opportunity of furnishing himself with things convenient and necessary thereunto Wherefore having sukt in as much knowledge as was needfull of the liberal Artts he extends his endeavours for getting acquaintance with the secrets of Philoosophy In which having spent about three years he applyed himself most seriously to the studys of Divinity and with much diligence laboured therein yet so as to have now and then a recourse to Phylosophy At length the Statutes of his Colledge and his own privte affairs requiring it hesought the title of a Mr. of Arts and was being after a severe examination judged worthy adorned therewith publickly in the year 1606 by Dr. Rodolphus Snellius that most renowned Professor of the Mathematicks there After this he purposeth and resolves to give himself wholy to the study of Divinity onely in which he had already made a considerable progress And seeing he could not accomplish his earnest desire of visiting forreign Universities he continued yet two years and above at Leyden where he was a diligent heare of the Divinity Professors namely Francis Gomarus Luke Trelcatius James Arminius and was so diligent and industrious in disputations and exercitatory Sermons that he left far behind him most of his equals for age and standing and was thought worthy to be called to the Ministry But seeing afterwards especially after the death of Dr. Trelcatius that unhappy discension about Predestination which afterwards gave a disturbance to all Holland did not onely secretly glow between the two remaining Professors but also at length break forth openly and seeing our Episcopius shewed himself more addicted to the opinion of Arminius he found therefore the Pastors who were of the other party to be so disaffected towards him that they when the honourable Consuls of Amsterdam who had knowledge of his singular learning and good conversation were desirous of promoting him to the office of a preacher did by delays and other their subtle devices srustrate and elude the good design of the Consuls Episcopius therefore in the year 1609 in which year Arminius dyed left Leyden and went to Franeker the Friezlanders University whither he was drawn especially by the fame of Jo. Drusius Professor there of the Hebrew tongue Here Sibrandus Lubbertus the Professor of this University took great offence at our Episcopius who was somewhat too hot and fervent in Theological disputations as young men of prompt and ready wits are wont to be He therefore a few moneths after departed thence and went into France where in a short time he got
