The Life and Death of John Donne
Posted by
John Donne, D. D. a famous British poet and preacher, was born in 1573.
For severeral years he was secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton, and in later years he was ordained as a preacher of the Gospel. Immediately after ordination he was appointed Royal Chaplain, and in 1620 Dean of St. Pauls. In 1630 he preached his last sermon, which was afterwards published under the title of Death’s Duel.
He died March 31, 1631. Although he was the author of many books, and a great theologian, and noted for his piety, yet when he came to die he said, “I repent of all my life except that part of it which I have spent in communion with God, and in doing good.”
cited from “Dying Testimonies by S.B. Shaw
