Williams, Roger
Christian life
_The first, That he himselfe most_ high, _most_ holy, (_who makes his
common_ choice, _the_ poor, _Jam. 2. and chooseth few_ Lords, _few_
Knights, _few_ Ladies, (_few_ wise, _few_ noble, _few_ mighty) _hath
freely chosen you_ Madam, _in so gracious and blessed a_ measure, _to_
desire _to_ feare _his_ Name.
_A second, That for your dearest_ Companion _and_ Guide _in this vale
of_ tears (_amongst the famous_ Worthies _of this_ age) _he hath
graciously guided you to such a blessed_ choice, _of such an_ Husband
_on_ earth, _who beares so bright an_ Image _of your_ Husband _in the_
Heavens, _and in whose most holy and gracious_ hand, _he hath been such
a_ mercifull _and_ faithfull Instrument, _for both the_ freedoms _both
of the_ outward _and_ inner _man_.
_I doe humbly acknowledge (that upon an absolute account) all is
mercy, and yet I am also humbly confident, that in a_ respect (_as
he graciously remembered his old friend_ Abraham, _and tels us of a
speciall love he yet bears the_ Jewes _for_ Abrahams _sake, even so, he
hath graciously vouchsafed at this present an_ honorable remembrance
_to the NAMES of some of his more_ eminent _former_ friends _and_
witnesses.
_How hath he crowned the_ memory _of those his 2 zealous_ Servants
_in K._ Henry _the 8th. his days[B] with a most eminent and blessed_
succession _of such_ names _and_ spirits _at this day? and in a
gracious_ remembrance _of his love to that blessed_ daughter _and_
witnesse _of his the_ Lady Vane _in Q._ Maries _dayes; how hath it
pleased his_ wisedom _and_ goodnesse, _to remember and to honour that_
Name, _both in your Ladiship and so many otherways, with so many loving
kindnesses at this day_?
[B] Cromwel and Lambert.
