Samuel Rutherford’s Epitaph

On his gravestone:

What tongue, what pen, or skill of men
Can famous Rutherford commend!
His learning justly rais’d his fame
True goodness did adorn his name.
He did converse with things above,
Acquainted with Immanuel’s love.
Most orthodox he was and sound,
And many errors did confound.
For Zion’s King, and Zion’s cause,
And Scotland’s covenanted laws,
Most constantly he did contend,
Until his time was at an end.
At last he won to full fruition
Of that which he had seen in vision.
