Excerpt from Joseph Alleine: His Companions Times; A Memorial of Black Bartholomew, 1662 Baxter says Let posterity know, that though this servant of C'firz'rz' was exalted above very many of his brethren, yet it is not that such men are wonders in this age that his life is singled out to be recorded. The Life, in the introduction to which these words occur, was first published in 1672. It includes a narrative, twenty-five pages long, written by his widow; several essays, like prose elegies, contributed by his friends; and also forty of his letters. Only a few facts are related, and although the volumes spread the fame Of his worth, it still left much Of his life in Ob scurity.
