Martyne Luther whych caused hym oft tymes to frequent hys cumpanye both in hys syckenesse and afore And these were the last wordes that euer he spake vnto hym Mastre Doctour I thanke yow of your gentyll vysytacyon I hope as gentyllye to vysyte yow agayne where we shall togyther commen of most ioyfull causes And now in dede they maye commen those matters in an other lyfe and holde soch heauenlye felyshypp as they neuer coulde do here The same verye tyme that Doctour Martyne went so from hym I am wele remembred that he sayd thus vnto me Thysman is surelye gone though he seme styll here For he knoweth no maner of thynge perteynynge to the fleshe nor yet to deathe Whan we put hym in mynde of hys matters he knoweth not the worlde nor yet thys lyfe He is merye he ioyfullye laugheth and propouneth vnto vs in hys innocent state most wonderfull mysteryes But in the ende he derydeth vs. As who shuld saye fare ye wele now I haue nomore to do with thys worlde The lorde of hys infynyte mercye sayth he at the last graunt me soch a gracyouse ende that in the houre of deathe I nothynge remembre thys worlde In lyke maner at an other season after the seyd Ambrose was buryed in the yeare of our lorde a M.D.XLII in the monthe of Ianuarye as he one daye passed by he poynted with hys hande to hys graue and sayd vnto me Thys mā neyther felte hymselfe sycke neyther yet reckened of deathe yet was he neuer without Christes knowledge Here lyeth he inclosed whych yet knoweth of no deathe O lorde Iesus Christ I besyche the wore saue to take me so from thys myserable lyfe Yea manye tymes sayd thys blessyd father here both to me and to other Praye vnto our most mercyfull father that he shortlye take me vnto hym for here can I nomore do neyther yet am I anye longar profytable vnto yow Helpe me hens with your prayers prolonge not my lyfe on the earth Herbye maye ye wele perceyue that he had no great pleasure here but that hys full desyre was as was Saynt Paules to be dysolued and with Christ.
