Most worthy also is Scultetus grave,
The Palme and prize of praise and fame to have:
Who for his admirable wit and worth;
His learned labours rare, in print put forth;
Chiefly Medulla Patrum, that choyce piece,
Preferred far to Jasons golden fleece,
By all the learned. Had in high request
For's eloquence and diligence exprest;
By our King James and other Princes great;
Who with most high applause obtain'd the seat
In Hiedlebergs brave University,
Of the Professour there; and worthily

586

Made Doctor of Divinity. At last,
Having much trouble with his comforts past;
At Embden God him gave a quiet Station,
And there by death crown'd him with heav'ns salvation
