| | Johann Gerhard | Studium Excitare |
 | | Johann Gerhard was born in Quedlinburg, Upper Saxony, on Wednesday, October 17, 1582. |
 | | The pastor in Quedlinburg, Johann Arndt, comforted and consoled him, and it was due to his influence that Gerhard vowed to study theology, if God should ever permit him to recover. |
 | | Johann Gerhard, therefore, in the presence of his two colleagues, John Mayor (Johann Major) and John (Johann) Himmel, of Master Adrian Beyer (Beier) and very many of his friends, amid their very ardent prayers … gave up his life around three in the afternoon with these words: ‘Come, come, Lord, come’” (Fischer,290). |
