The best of us all at Dooms-day would be glad to have their grains of allowance and why should we grudge them to our betters Therefore now to draw the curtain over all humane infirmities and imperfections which may God cover in mercy and clear us all by his free pardon through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so to proceed It is certain that no man is born a Saint but 't is as certain that every good man that dies in the exercise of Repentance Faith and Charity dies a Saint such as our Hope is this our Brother died First his Name His Name was John which in the Holy Tongue signifies the Grace of God Here by the way Parents and Godfathers may take out this good Lesson not to put upon their Children fantastical much less profane and superstitious Names but prudently to chuse such Names as may be continual Memorials of some good duties to the parties so named as oft as they shall hear read or write their own Names that they may endeavour by their lives to become as good as their names Secondly His Sirname His Sirname was Cosin in Latine Cognatus quasi à Con Natus which as the famous Civilian Modestinus expoundeth it signifies a Cosin in primo gradu in his own Family This Sirname of Cosin is become famous by diverse learned men of that Name I saw once in our Prelates hand Cognati Opera and we have in our hands that excellent Apology for the Ecclesiastical Lawes by Dr. Richard Cosin that Renowned Civilian and now our Church enjoyeth that solid work Intituled A Scholastical History of the Canon of the Holy Scripture brought forth in his banishment by this our deceased Lord. Thirdly His Birth His Temporal Birth was on St. Andrews day 1594. His birth to Glory I mean the day of his death was Jan. 15. 1671-72 his Age 78. current greater by so much than King David's first measure 70. So that to phrase in Jobs words He came to his grave in a full age like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season Length of dayes is by Gods favour annexed to the fifth Commandment Honour thy Father c. which the Apostle maketh the first Commandment with promise and 't is a Glory For the hoary head is a Crown of Glory if it be found in the way of Righteousness A good evidence of Gods acceptance upon his obedience to his Superiours Spiritual Political and Natural Parents for want of which due obedience to Parents God many times shortens the dayes of the Sons of Belial Rebellious Children Fourthly His Person God and Nature did frame his earthly Tabernacle of a goodly structure for he was both tall and erect a fit presage aforehand of the stature of his future preferments and dignities he had a Prelatical presence which he over-topped with his liberal beneficence This I am sure of he was no Dwarf neither in Stature Dignity nor Bounty as will appear by the ensuing discourse Fifthly His Family 1. Paternal his Fathers Name was Giles Cosin of Fox-hearth a Citizen of no mean City to use St. Pauls phrase who did glory in Tarsus his birth-place His City was Norwich of which more anon when we come to his Countrey He was a good Citizen a man of substance witness his liberal education of this his great Son 2. By his Maternal descent he was Son to Mrs. Elizabeth Remington of Remington-Castle an antient Family and which is worth all the rest both his Parents were of the Household of faith both born and bred in the true antient Apostolick and Catholick Religion of the Church of England which this their Son did so early imbibe that he lived and died a constant Professor and Patron of the same Thus was his Family in Lineâ rectâ As for his Collateral Line he took a Wife out of an antient Noble Family in this Countrey Frances the Daughter of Mr. Marmaduke Blakiston a Dignitary both in the Metropolitical Church of York and in this of Durham Marmaduke was Son to John Blak●ston of Blakiston Esq whose other Son was Sir William Blakiston Father to Sir Thomas His Wife was a prudent Wife and therefore from the Lord To my knowledge a true yoke-fellow not only in Prosperis as too many worldly-minded Wives but chiefly in Adversis which is the tryal of a good Wife and of a true friend indeed and these are blessings For to have the Burthen of a Wife and not the blessing of a good wife is a great cross if not a curse And here I stop from attending the rest of his Family any further perhaps I have gone too far already in presuming to blazon a Pedigree being no Herald Sixthly His Countrey To pass from his Family to his Countrey he was born a Britain and an English Man A Nation so famous for situation plenty and victories If Plato did thank the Gods that he was born a Grecian and bred a Philosopher but still a Heathen how much more ought every true English-Man to be thankful unto God for his birth under a Christian Monarchy Christian indeed if as the current of Historians do report it received the Christian Religion from one of the Apostles or one of their Apostolical Disciples some say Simon Zelotes others Joseph of Arimathea and if England as they say was the first Kingdome in all the world that first received the Gospel with the countenance of Supreme Authority under King Lucius a Britain whom Historians do place Anno Christi 170 and 't is no small addition of honour for this Kingdome that the first Christian Emperour even Constantine the Great was born in England Thus our deceased Prelate was blessed in the place of his birth but much more blessed for the state of his New Birth in such a Christian Church the most Apostolical and the purest of all Christian Churches Expertus loquor for in 15 years Ecclesiastical Pilgrimage during my voluntary banishment for my Religion and Loyalty I have surveyed with an impartial eye of observation most Christian Churches both Eastern and Western and I dare pronounce of the Church of England what David said of Goliahs Sword There is none like it both for Primitive Doctrine Worship Discipline and Government Episcopal Hierarchy the most moderate and regular For it was a singular providence of God to inspire the first Reformers of the Church of England with the Spirit of wisdome to conjoyn the zeal for verity with due reverence to Antiquity for by Cardinal Baronius his own Confession the Church of England is for her Christendome acknowledged antienter than Rome it self by nine years and 't is strange in reason and more strange in nature that the pretended Mother should be younger than the Daughter but that any thing which is rational is rejected by such as only relie upon a Magisterial pretence of Ipsa dixit which false principle smells rank of wilfull schism

J. Will. c. Our help is in the Name of the Lord who made Heaven and Earth In the Name and Honour of the same Lord our God the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost the most High and undivided Trinity FOrasmuch as it is appointed for all men once to die and that every mans body shall be dissolved but the time of my dissolution is uncertain of which notwithstanding as if it were nigh at hand being mindful in my daily Meditations and shaken with the frequent infirmities of my body I ever and anon think thereof I John Cosin an humble Minister in the Church of God and by the permission of the most High now Bishop of Durham not putting my hope in this present life but ever aspiring to that other which is to come eternal in the Heavens and which by the mercy of God ere long I hope to obtain and humbly praying for the salvation of my own Soul that through the merits of Jesus Christ the Son of the living God our only Redeemer and Mediator all mine offences be forgiven me being of a sound mind out of a sincere heart do make ordain and constitute this Testament containing my Last Will in this form as followeth First of all I heartily thank our Lord God Almighty that he hath vouchsafed me to be born in this life of faithful and vertuous Parents and that it hath pleased him that I should be Regenerate and born a new in his Church unto Life Eternal by the holy Laver of Baptism which he hath instituted and that he hath instructed me from my Youth in sound doctrine and hath made me partaker of his Saints that he hath imprinted in my mind a Faith not feigned nor dead but true and living together with a firm confidence that hereafter I shall be brought unto eternal life which Faith doubtless consists in this That we adore and worship one God and believe in him and in him whom he hath sent his most beloved Son the Eternal Word begotten before all Ages Jesus Christ our Lord who for us and for our Salvation took flesh of the most blessed Virgin Mary the Holy Ghost over-shading her in this life and was made man afterward was born suffered was crucified dead and buried and after he had descended into Hell rose again from his Grave and leading captivity captive ascended into Heaven where sitting at the right hand of God he reigneth for ever but sent from thence the Holy Ghost in whom we ought equally to believe proceeding from the Father and the Son by whom he most bountifully gave gifts unto men and founded his Catholick Church in the Communion of Saints in the Divine Sacraments in true Faith sound Doctrine and Christian Manners together with the remission of Sins to be conferred on all the Godly and that in the same Church bring forth fruits meet for Repentance to whom also
