TO adde more ashes to our mortall Store, Burroughs is followd now, those gone before; Unconquerd Death, that spareth no degree; But fetters all in his Captivity, Hath seized him, a servant of the Lord. Who preached JESUS, as hes in the Word: Set forth to all, he for them mercy hath, If they upon him will depend their Faith: These things (this Man of God) did to us preach, And to us plainly Jesus he did teach; Declaring to us, hes the only way For to be saved, to him we must pray, If we would ever Heavens Gates enter in, We must leave all, we must forsake our sinne, On such good things he thought; the faithfull Preacher Spent all his life for Christ,who was his Teacher, For Christ our Saviour did alone him teach, And none but Christ our Saviour would he Preach. The world he scornd, though plenty of it having, But at Gods hands for grace was daily craving; Too base it was, that he to it should bend, Or to her Riches any credit lend; For, what are Riches? But like a Post ins way, Or, like a span, or like the flower in May: So worldly honours unto him seemd base, To honour Christ that was his only grace: For Christ alone he lovd, so lovd to live That he might alwayes praises to him give. The grace of God was alwayes in his thoughts. The love of God, in sparing such foule faults Which he committed daily in his sight, Yet from the Lord would never take his flight. For Jesus Christ was only his delight, And Christ his Crosse was alwayes in his sight, Christ was his joy, he was his whole desire. What shall I say? Christ did he love intire.
An happy end this godly man did make, The world, her Riches from him he did shake. Elijah like, his mantle left behind For others to possesse, that they might find A loving friend of him, and might confesse That to his Neighbours all he was no lesse, Then a Jonathan unto King David, Fors love was fixt, fixt where he loved. The truth of this, if you desire to know, Doe you unto his Printed Sermons goe; For they doe there unto the world declare, What was their masters heart, what was his care To those that loved grace, and loved those That truly loved Christ, and him had chose. London afflicted in the face I see. That such a man from us by Gods decree, Should thus be snatchd away, and from us part, The thoughts of which might melt the hardest heart; For in this City, for him being deceast, Thousands are mourners, and I not the least: Yet mourn, why should we? Or, why should we weep, When Burroughs is not dead, but is a sleep: This man of God unto that glorious place, Ascended is, ever to see Gods face.
Tendimus hac omnes, metam properamus ad unam, Omnia sub leges mors vocat atra suas. Per me, I.C. LONDON. Printed by B.A. 1646.
