The Life and Death of Hugh Latimer.
220
A diviator, and abandon'd truth,
Yet (heaven having blest him with a riper age)
At last he banish'd his too forward rage,
And from a wandring Commet, he became
A blazing starre, and blush'd not to proclaime
Against his former Errours which had spread
Upon his heart, and almost struck it dead.
221
A better Anchor, and a firmer ground
Where on he fixt his thoughts, and would not be
Remov'd by arguments or Tyrannie.
Thus our brave Latimer became a terrour
To Papists, and an enemy to errour,
Though he at first most wilfully deny'd
The truth, yet for the truth at last he dy'd.
