The Life and Death of Zuinglius.
They that are willing to engage, and proveThemselves true Souldiers in the field of Love
Must follow Zuinglius, whose ample glory
Affords the World an everlasting Story.
Ye Prelats of these Times, stoope downe and see
The Wisdome, Valour and the Constancie
Of this renowned Father; whose deserts
Ought to be printed in all noble Hearts:
He fell with Honour, and all those that fall,
Guarded with Truth, deserve a Funerall
Adorn'd with Angels, that all tongues may say,
Here lyes Relig'ons and the Churches stay.
Brave Zuinglius dy'd (though it be hard to doe)
A valiant Souldier, and a Martyr too.
