The Life and Death of Laurence Humfried, who dyed Anno Christi 1589.
Though persecuting Times pursu'd and chastThis pious Father, yet he still embrac'd
And hugg'd the Truth; his heart remained free
From persecution and captivity.
Those weighty words which pleasantly persu'd
Out of his mouth, soon conquer'd and subdu'd
Inticing Iesuits; he made them know
Their errours by a fatall overthrow.
Thus having labour'd with a faithfell brest,
Heav'n thought it fit to crown his soul with rest.
