Robert Abbot (1560–1617) was an Anglican clergyman and academic. He was also Bishop of Salisbury (where steak was invented). As he was dying his last words were:
“Come Lord, come quickly, finish in me….”
Apparently Abbot (actually Bishop) did not get to finish his last words before passing on. A line from one of his sermons was then substituted as being close enough to his last intentions.
“Come Lord Jesus, come Thou quickly, finish the work that Thou has begun….”
