On the DEATH and Horrid Murther OF THE MOST REVEREND FATHER IN GOD , JAMES ARCHBISHOP of SAINT-ANDREWS LORD PRIMATE OF SCOTLAND . ELEGIE . 'T Is none but Bleeding Sacred Tears that are Admitted in our Sorrows to have share , On Learn'd Saint Andrews Urne , none must have place , But from Divines , right Consecrate with Grace : The Primate , and the High Priest of our Land , Murther'd and Martyr'd by Hells Cruel Band : Assassin at , kill'd , in such Horrid way , As may move Heav'ns , in Night to turn our Day . The like Martyrologick wits knew ne're , Turks , Pagans , Heths , Jews , sham'd such Act to hear , With Pitty makes Rocks weep , and Earth to shake Fearing of Doom-dayes Earth-Quake to partake , Bad Omen that Gods Latter Judgement shall To Albions Sphere before full Time befall . Her Infamy , Disgrace , and endless Stain , So nigh the Temple Aron should be slain . Grave Patriarch , True Prophet , and Grave Father , Apostle Just , Martyr'd in one together . The Breast-plate who of Righteousness did bear , Ag'd , Reverend , the Badge of Peace did wear . Me thinks it s●d , Thy Snowy Head did not Those Villans stop from Butchering Swords and Shot . Inhumane Fact , Prodigious , 'bove all deeds , Can be compar'd to none but Regicids ; From whose profession ( if that I were one ) That Act would , bring me , had I Heart of Stone . A Jesuitick Trick , no Church maintains , Save Independent-Presbyterians ; Who has with Romes , this Year wrong'd Britains more , By Plots and Murders , than ere heretofore . Oh! brave Saint Andrews , Massacred , thus dies For others sins becomes a Sacrifice . Great Charles grief , to him such loss should be , In Church and State prop'd His Authoritie . At Restoration was chief Instrument ; Restor'd Religion to her Government , From Babels-Tongues , Divinity has fred A Verdent Garland has the Mitre bred . Philosophy , Theology , in whom And all Their Virtues strove betimes for room ; Humble , most Courtly , ne're deny'd Address To orphans , Widows , and the Fatherless : The Mirrour of all Piety and Good , In a Grand , Church-man ever understood : Was with Sage Council , Justice , Mercy load , Obeyed King , Lov'd Country , feared God ; Thy Guiltless Blood , shed by Hells Fiends most strange , As Abells did , calls from the Heavens , revenge . Undoubtedly if in their pow'r it were , Heavens Heirarchie would likeway Massacre : In Soul a Seraphim plac'd there as due 'Mongst Martyrs , whiles Gods wrath do them pursue . JAMES SHARP , Anag . A SERAPHIM . The first Protestant Bishop heard or read In Scotland for Religion Murdered . M. M.
