of these two servants of Christ that are thus reviled even as their Master was before them that was said to do Miracles by the power of the Devil As for Luther he was oft taken with a great pain in his breast about the mouth of the stomack and thought his Death when it came would be sudden which made him say Feri Domine feri clementer quia ipse paratus sum strike Lord strike mercifully for I am ready Having preached his last Sermon at Wittenberge Jan. 17. he took his journey the 23. to Count Mansfields Countrey whither he was called When he came thither he was grown so weak that they almost despaired of his life yet by the use of somentations he had so much ease as that he preached sometime and did other work from Jan. 29. to Febr. 17. The last day of his life though he was weak yet he sate at the table with them and at Supper his discourse was upon the Question Whether we shall know one another in Heaven which he affirmed and proved in that Adam knew Eve as soon as he saw her that she was flesh of his flesh and therefore much more shall we know one another in Heaven c. After Supper he withdrew himself as he used for private prayer but the pain of his breast increased on him When he had taken a medicine he lay down on a Couch and slept sweetly two hours and then went to his Chamber saying to those about him Pray God to preserve the Doctrine of the Gospel to us for the Pope and Council of Trent have strange Contrivances When he was laid down and had slept a while he awakened and found by the increase of his pain that he was near his End and spoke to God as followeth in their hearing O my heavenly Father the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the God of all Consolation I thank thee that thou hast revealed to me thy Son Jesus Christ in whom I have believed whom I have professed whom I have loved whom I have Celebrated or Honoured whom the Pope of Rome and the rest of the rabble of the ungodly do persecute and reproach I beseech thee O my Lord Jesus Christ receive my soul O my heavenly Father though I am taken from this life and though my body must now be laid down yet I know certainly that I shall abide with thee for ever and that none can take me out of thy hands Then he said So God loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life Then he repeated part of the 68. Psalm and when he had drunk a medicine that was given him he said I go hence I now return my spirit unto God presently adding Father into thy hands I commend my spirit thou hast Redeemed me O God of Truth And so he dyed as if he were setting himself to sleep without any sign of further pain but when they saw him dying Dr. Jonas and Caelius cryed to him Reverend Father do you die constant through Christ in his doctrine which you have hitherto preached And he answered Yea and never spoke more When he was dead at Islebe Count Mansfield would have kept his body but the Duke of Saxony would not suffer him but caused it to be brought back to Wittenberge and there with great solemnity interred This is the true report in brief of Luthers Death delivered to the world by those that stood by him and were eye witnesses And yet these impudent Lying Papists have perswaded their followers that the Devils were seen dancing about him that when he should be buryed there was a horrible thunder and the body was taken away out of the Coffin by the Devil and a stink of Brimstone left behind with more such stuff as this which they have printed and which one would think the Father of Lies should be ashamed of And for Calvin not only those before mentioned but also Bolsecus Surius Prateolus Demochares Lindanus Sanctesius Cahierus and others publish to the world not only that he was an Epicure but a Sodomite and was burnt on the shoulder for Sodomie with a hot iron at Noviodunum where he was born Yea Lessius the Jesuite impudently calls Christ to witness that shall judge all men according to their works that he doth not devise these things of his own brain but from good authors and forty years currant fame And his Authors are these Papists Bolsecus Brigerus Stapleton Campian Duraeus Surius and Reginaldus Hath Hell any greater calumnies then these to fill the mouths or writings of men withall Reader I shall shew thee what credit these men are of by this instance As for the time when they say he was stigmatized for Sodomie it was when he was a Papist and therefore if it had been true it had been a greater dishonour to them then to us But it s a meer forgery of the Devil and a Fryar Hierom Bolseck a Fryar seemed to turn Protestant and coming to Geneva he began to preach the Pelagian doctrine there and openly contend against the Pastors in the Congregation and being confounded by Calvin the Magistrates imprisoned him and banished him for sedition Then he betakes himself to the neighbour Towns to play the same game there but the Magistrates of Bern also banish them out of their Countrey Whereupon he turned Papist again and when Calvin was dead he wrote all these abominable lies of him and all the rest with Schlusselburgius the Lutheran an enemy of Calvins do take up the report from this one Lying heretical Papist and so it becomes a currant fame with them as if it were as true as the Gospel Whereupon our writers call to them provoke them challenge them to search the Records at Noviodunum where they say the thing was done and prove that ever there was such a thing or else bear the open shame of Lyars But they can bring no proof but call on us to disprove it When the City are Papists and haters of Calvin But after all this as God would have it the Papist Dean of that City called Jacobus le Vasseur publisheth at Paris 1633. the Annals of their Cathedral Church and therein pouring out his hatred against Calvin and saying what he can against him doth yet out of their records clear him of all these accusations and lets the world know that there was never any such thing and that they had no crime at all against him but that he turned from the Papists and that the Major or chief Governour of the City went away with Calvin when he was forced to fly from his native Countrey He recites all the passages of Calvins life there but professeth that they had no more against him Thus God confounded the Lying Papists by one of themselves and the Records of that City where they said the thing was done And yet they believe one another and carry on the Lye to this day Mr.
