WHen bad men dye, the memorie remaines Of their corruptions, and ungodly wayes, As merit to their misapplyed paines, Out of ill actions, forming as ill praise. for vertue wounded by their deepe disgrace, Leaves shame to their posteritie and race. When good men dye, the memorie remaines, Of their true vertues, and most christian wayes: As a due guerdon to their godly paines, Out of good actions, forming as good praise. for vertue cherishd by their deedes of grace, Leaves fame to their posteritie and race. Among those good (if goodnes may be said, To be among the seede of mortall men: In upright ballaunce of true merit wayed) This worthy Batcheler esteeme we then. In whome, as in a mirrour doth appeare, That faith and workes did shine in him most cleere. Now let us not, as is our common use, Measure him by a many other more: In death, to cover their lifes bad abuse, That then flyes out some bounty of their store. No Rogers was none such, as may appeare, By these true witnesses annexed heere.
First, as God blest him with aboundant wealth, Like to a carefull Steward he imployde it: Squaring his guifts out in his best of health, As glad to leave it, as when he injoyde it. Himselfe prepared every houre to die: And all in order pointed christianly. In sundry callings and vocations, Where he could heare of them were rightly poore: As men decayed by their occupations, Yet held by shame from begging at the doore, Such succourd he, as knowing that their need, Stopt up their mouthes, though made their hearts to bleede. What should I say? to what poore wanting heart, Was he not liberall in the largest kinde? Such as were hopefull, and had any parte Of christian zeale, felt freely his good minde. Preachers, poore handy-crafts, and parishes: From Rogers purse have liberall Legacies. In Abrahams bosome sleepes he with the blest, His workes do follow him, his worth survives: The Angels guide him to eternall rest, Where is no date of time, for yeares or lives. You that are rich, doe you as he hath done: and so assure the Crowne that Christ hath wonne.
