Robert Filmer,
Patriarcha — Letter by Peter Heylyn
(1680)
“ SIR, HOW great a Loss I had in the death of my most dear and honoured Friend, your deceased Father, no man is able to conjecture; but he that hath suffered in the like. So affable was his Conversation, his Discourse so rational, his Judgment so exact in most parts of Learning; and his Affections to the Church so exemplary in him, that I never enjoyed a greater Felicity in the company of any Man living, than I did in his. ”
