Germane Tossanus doth deserve likewise,
That we his honoured name should memorize;
Who notwithstand all th'afflictions great
Which furious faithlesse Popish Foes did threat,
And prosecute him with, from place to place,
And him, and his dear wife with terrours chace:
In danger oft of death, yet mightily
The Lord preserv'd them from Romes cruelty.
He was a learned and laborious Preacher,
And alwayes 'gainst Romes errors, a Truth teacher:
Eloquent, witty, holy, humble, wise,
And now his soul blest Heaven beatefies.
