Hodie Mihi Cras Tibi . To the Never Dying MEMORY . Of his Ever honor'd FRIEND . Mr. MICHAELL SPARKE Iun. Wounded by his unnaturall Brother causelesly , Whereof he dyed Patiently , Changing his Mortall to Immortality , Monday Novemb. 17. Anno , 1645. Mourne not for him , whose happy Soule by this , Inthron'd with Angells , in a place of blisse . Can change no more , death ending all the strife : Hath him translated to a better life , And to our griefe , let this be some restraint ; Earth lost a friend , but Heaven hath gain'd a Saint . Let Mortalls learne , by this his sudden change Life is uncertaine , why should death be strange ? Shall not that * * P.S. wretch who most unnaturall . Preventing sicknesse ) caus'd his Brothers fall , As cursed Cain , ( persu'de with black despaire ) Run like a vagabond , he knowes not where , Know God is Just , and bloud requireth bloud , Earth may connive , but Heaven will see 't made good . So We convey Him to his peacefull Urne , For Dust We are , and must to Dust returne . Tho. Vere . 6.
