.. the Archbishop surviving him but
one year, _each ending his days in perfect charity with the
other_."
To the same effect is the statement in Strype, which I borrow from Dr.
Zouch's second edition of _Walton's Lives_, p. 217.:--
"Thomas Cartwright, the Archbishop's old antagonist, was alive
in 1601, and grew rich at his hospital at Warwick, preaching
at the chapel there, saith my author, very temperately,
according to the promise made by him to the Archbishop;
which mildness of his some ascribed to his old age and more
experience. But the latter end of next year he deceased. And
now, at the end of Cartwright's life, to take our leave of
him with a fairer character, it is remarkable what a noble
and learned man, Sir H. Yelverton, writes of some of his last
words--'_that he seriously lamented the unnecessary troubles
he had caused in the Church, by the schism he had been the
great fomenter of, and wished to begin his life again, that
he might testify to the world the dislike he had of his former
ways_;' and in this opinion he died."
I find it stated, moreover, on the authority of Sir G. Paul's _Life
of Whitgift_, that Cartwright acknowledged the generosity of Whitgift,
and admitted "his bond of duty to the Archbishop to be so much the
straiter, as it was without any desert of his own.
