The Life and Death of William Whately, who dyed Anno Christi 1639.
599
Like fame with Bolton, as two equall twins
Of honour and renown; for piety,
And admirable parts in's Ministry:
In Latine, Greek and Hebrew rarely able,
A Disputant also unconquerable.
Of apprehension quick, of judgement clear,
Strong memory; and that which was most dear,
Of a most holy life and Conversation;
Who many souls did win to Christs salvation:
And Divine-like in Scriptures eloquent;
In Prayer, Preaching faithfull and fervent:
Much charity and love, who still exprest
Among his people a Peacemaking blest:
Pittifull, patient, full of courtesie:
His soul with Christ now raignes most gloriously.
