"I am to speak of a life passed over without noise; of modesty at home
and abroad; of continence; charity; contempt of the world; and thirst
after heavenly things; of unwearied labours; and all actions so performed
as might be exemplary or beneficial to others."—Life of Master John Fox,
by his Son.
