TO adde more ashes to our mortall Store , Burroughs is follow'd now , those gone before ; Vnconquer'd Death , that spareth no degree ; But fetters all in his Captivity , Hath seized him , a servant of the Lord , VVho preached IESVS , as he 's in the VVord : Set forth to all , he for them mercy hath , If they upon him will depend their Faith : These things ( this Man of God ) did to us preach , And to us plainly Iesus he did teach ; Declaring to us , he 's the only way For to be saved , to him we must pray , If we would ever Heavens Gates enter in , VVe must leave all , we must forsake cut sinne , On such good things he thought ; the faithfull Preacher Spent all his life for Christ , who was his Teacher , For Christ our Saviour did alone him teach , And none but Christ our Saviour would he Preach . The world he scorn'd , though plenty of it having , But at Gods hands for grace was daily craving ; Too base it was , that he to it should bend , Or to her Riches any credit lend ; For , what are Riches ? But like a Post in 's way , Or , like a span , or like the flower in May : So worldly honours unto him seem'd base , To honour Christ that was his only grace : For Christ alone he lov'd , so lov'd to live That he might alwayes praises to him give . The grace of God was alwayes in his thoughts ▪ The love of God , in sparing such foule faults VVhich he committed daily in his sight , Yet from the Lord would never take his flight . For Iesus Christ was only his delight , And Christ his Crosse was alwayes in his sight , Christ was his joy , he was his whole desire . VVhat shall I say ? Christ did he love intire . An happy end this godly man did make , The world , her Riches from him he did shake . Elijah like , his mantle left behind For others to possesse , that they might find A loving friend of him , and might confesse That to his Neighbours all he was no lesse , Then a Iohathan unto King David , For 's love was fixt , fixt where he loved . The truth of this , if you desire to know , Doe you unto his Printed Sermons goe ; For they doe there unto the world declare , VVhat was their masters heart , what was his care To those that loved grace , and loved those That truly loved Christ , and him had chose . London afflicted in the face I see . That such a man from us by Gods decree , Should thus be snatch'd away , and from us part , The thoughts of which might melt the hardest heart ; For in this City , for him being deceas't , Thousands are mourners , and I not the least ▪ Yet mourn , why should we ? Or , why should we weep , VVhen Burroughs is not dead , but is a sleep ▪ This man of God unto that glorious place , Ascended is , ever to see Gods face . Tendimus huc omnes , metam properamus ad unam , Omnia sub leges mors vocat atra suas . Per me , I. C. LONDON . Printed by B. A. 1646.
