 | Abel redevivus |  |
The life and Death of Justus Jonas, who dyed Anno Christi 1555.
166
God so protected him, from what was ill:
The venome of the Plague did seeme to be
No poyson unto him, for he scapd free;
Although the Duyon he by chance did eat,
That poyson'd was, by the Plagues strong heat;
Nor was his body, but his minde as free
From the contagion of hels leprosie.
167
That happy treasure, whereby he might gaine
Heaven at the last; and sure unto that place
He's long since gone; who was his Countries grace.
