Here she lies, whose spotlesse fame

invites a stone to learne her name.

The rigid Spartan, that deny’d

an Epitaph to all that dy’d,

Vnlesse for Warre or Chastity;

Shee did a Wife, but yet her minde

(beyond Virginity refinde)

From lawlesse fire remain’d as free,

as now from heat her ashes be.

Her husband (yet without a sinne)

was not a stranger, but her kin,

That her chaste Love might seeme no other,

vnto a husband then a brother.

Keepe well this pawne, thou marble chest,

till it be cal’d for, let it rest:

For while this Iewell here is set,

The grave is but a Cabinet.

- Of Mars his Armes, being Mars his Paramore,
- This Fabricke was by Mars his Souldiers fram’d,
- And Mars his Armory’s this Building nam’d.

The Souldiers
Honuor.
- It holds five hundred Armes to furnish those,
- That love their Soveraigne, and will daunt His foes,
- They spend their time, and doe not spare for cost,
- To learne the use of Armes, there’s nothing lost;
- Both time and coyne to doe their Country good,
- They’l spend it freely, and will lose their blood.

The Alder-
mans Love.
- Our City London is a Royall thing,
- For it is call’d the Chamber of our King;

- Teasell ground, we inlarg’d Saint Mary Spittle,
- Trees we cut down, and Gardens added to it,
- Thankes to the Lords that gave us leave to doe it.

A loyall Sub-
jects desire.
- Long may this worke endure, and ne’r decay,
- But be supported till the latest day.
- All loyall Subjects to the King and State,
- Will say Amen, mauger Spleene or Hate.

of Saint Botolphs Church without
Aldersgate, London.

Neere to this place lyeth buried the
body of Pierce Edgcombe, in the
County of Devon, Gentleman, who
deceased the 8. day of Iuly, 1628.
in assured hope of a ioyfull Resurre-
ction.

Behold the end of Dust and Clay,

O thou which livest with living eye,

Yet doth his soule for ever raigne

With Christ, which he by faith did gaine:

In Learning he his time did spend,

And Vertue was the only end;

So long before his glasse was runne,

With World and Vanity he had done.

In Saint Botolphs Church, on a
Tombe there.

Here lyeth the body of Christo-
pher Tamworth, of Grayes-Inne, in Hol-
borne, in the County of Middlesex,
Esquire, third Sonne of Christopher
Tamworth of Halsted, in the County
of Leicester, Esquire, who died the 19
of September, 1624. being of the
age of threescore and ten yeeres.

HE having dealt kindly and li-
berally with his Wife, and
many of his kindred & friends,
and to the poore of divers Parishes,
hath also by his Will given xx. li. of
currant money of England, to the Deane
and Prebends of the Colledge of Saint
Peters of the City of Westminster, in the
County of Middlesex, to bee imployed
by them about the reparations of the
said Colledge Church of Saint Peters.

And 400. markes, to the intent that
with that mony, there should be twen-
ty markes worth of Lands of inheri-
tance of yeerely rent to be purchased,
whereby there may be one in holy Or-
ders maintained, to say Divine Service,
such as the Church of England shall al-
low of, every worke day in the yeere,
twice perpetually, viz. at or about
nine of the clocke in the morning, and
at or about three of the clocke in the
afternoone, in the Parish Church of
Saint Botolphs without Aldersgate,
London.

And 400. li. to the end and intent
that there should be 20. li. of lands of
annuall Revenew, of inheritance by the
yeere bought with it, to allow perpetu-
ally to sixe poore men, and foure poore
Widdowes past labour, dwelling and

apeece, to be paid quarterly, with this
limitation, that the said poore people
shall bee bound to repaire every worke

aforesaid.

And 200. markes more to purchase
Lands of inheritance of the annuall va-
lue by the yeere of 6. li. 3. s. 4. d. for the
maintenance of one within holy Orders,
to say divine Service as aforesaid, every
worke day in the weeke twice, thorow
the whole yeere perpetually, in the
Parish Church of Saint Martins in Lei-
cester, in the County of Leicester afore-
said, at the hourses and times afore men-
tioned.

All which said summes of money he
willed should be actually and really de-
livered into the hands and possession of
the Deane and Prebends of Westminster
aforesaid, within xx. dayes next im-
mediatly after his death, for the per-
formance and use afore mentioned,
within the space and time of two yeeres
at the vttermost, after his death.

And having made Audrey, one of the
Daughters of Charles Allayne of the
Mote, in the County of Kent, Esquire,
Sonne and Heire of Sir Christopher Al-
layne, Knight, his deare and loving
Wife, his full Executrix, she faithfully
performed the same, according to the
trust reposed on her by her Husbands
Will: and in remembrance of him,

The Gift of Sir Paul Pinder to
Saint Pauls Church in London.

SIR Paul Pinder Knight, in the
time of King Iames, his Majesties
Embassadour many yeeres, resi-
dent at Constantinople with the great
Turke, hath of sate, to the glory of God,
to the delight and content of all good
Protestants, and for the better expres-
sion of his love and zeale to true Reli-
gion, beautifully and bountifully with
great costs and charges, repaired the
old decayed stone worke of the West-
front of the Chancell in Saint Pauls
Church in London, adorning the out-
side thereof with many faire polished
pillers of blacke Marble, and with cu-
rious carved Statues of Kings and Bi-
shops, the first Founders and Benefa-
ctors of the whole Fabricke, and also
graced the inside thereof with divers
Angels and other ornaments; he hath
likewise amended and repaired all the
decayes and defects of the Wainscot
worke of the Quier, and hath further
beautified the same with a faire rayle
of Wainscot, and a great number of
Cherubins artificially carved: all
which work he hath caused to be sump-
tuously gilded and painted with rich
colours in Oyle; hee hath also magni-
ficently clothed the whole Quier, and
the upper part of the Presbytery, with
faire and chargeable Tapestry-Hang-
ings: Whose godly and pious exam-
ple, will (I hope) excite and stirre up
other Religious and well-minde Gen-
tlemen, and Citizens, to performe some
acts of piety and bounty towards the
reparation of the same Church.

Of the ancient Court of the Hustings.

I Finde it diversly written
in Latine, Hustingum,
Hustingus, Hustingia, and
sometimes (but falsely)
Hustangus. It is the an-
cientest and the highest
Court of Justice, of the famous City of
London. The name it takes from the
place of keeping that Court (as Pryta-
neum did at Athens) for foreign […] (hus) among
the old Saxons, signified an house, and foreign […] dhing or thing, a Cause or Plea; so that foreign […] Husthing, signified the
house of Causes or Pleadings: where-
upon in the Saxon tongue foreign […],
Thingere, Thingarius, signified an Ad-
vocate or Lawyer: which others would
perchance derive rather from foreign […]
or foreign […] thung, or gedhung, which signifi-
ed Honourable, for that the most hono-
rable Magistrates of the City, held their
Court there; like as the Lord Maior
and Sheriffes, and in absence of the
Sheriffes, sixe of the Aldermen at this
day doe.

The Antiquity of this famous Court
of Hustings, is much magnified by the
Compiler of King Edwards Lawes, cap.
35. in these words: There ought al-
wayes in the City of London, which is
the head City of the Kingdome and of
the Lawes, to bee held upon every

veraigne Lord the King, at the Hust-

whole Kingdome aforesaid: and this
Court hath even to this day preserved

her

her owne ancient Customes most invi-
olably. Thus farre my Author, who
(by his leave) smels too rankly of that
Fabler, Geffery of Munmouth.

And yet something there is in the
Hustings, which might give counte-
nance to this comparison of old Troy,
namely, that the well-knowne weight
used for Gold and Silver, called Troy-weight,
was in time of the Saxons cal-
led, The Hustings weight of London, and
kept there in the Hustings. So an ancient
Record in the booke of Ramsey, Sect. 32
and 127. I Aethelgina Countesse, &c.
bequeath two silver Cups of twelve
markes of the Hustings weight of Lon-
don.

The former Law of the said King Ed-
ward the Confessor, commands the
Hustings Court to be held every Mun-
day, though at this day it be held upon
the Tuesday: which that it may not
be perceived by the Monuments and
Rolls of the Court, to have differed
too much from the first Institution, is
yet said and written, to be holden upon
the Munday. It is as it were distingui-
shed into two Courts: for one weeke
the Iudges sit upon Pleas meerely
reall, and the next weeke upon Acti-
ons mixt, or of any other nature what-
soever.

Out of the same Booke of Ramsey
Abbey, Sect. 268. will I here set down
the ancient forme of purchasing and gi-
ving of possession used in the Hustings:
which is farre different from the fashi-
on used at this day. Be it knowne unto
all the sonnes of holy Church, that
Wlfnoth of Walebroc, London, have sold
unto Reynold, Abbot of Ramsey, a cer-
taine piece of land which hee had

Super Walbroc.

in
Walebroc, whence he was called Wlf-
noth of Walbroc. As also a certaine house
of stone, and a Shop which hee had
built upon that land, with doores of
yron, and windowes above and be-
neath, &c. Which said Wlfnoth hath
sold that Land unto the Abbot of Ram-
sey, and hath given him seisin of it, by
delivery of a certaine staffe, and hath

Et clama-
vit solam & quietam, & abs{que} omni calumpnia.

quite claimed unto it to all encumbrance:
quiet, and void of all encumbrance:
both he, and Mahald his Wife and his
first wives Daughter: and Mahald his
second Wife, and Henry his sonne by
his second wife, and Christine her
daughter, before the whole Husting of
London, in the house of Alfwine, sonne
of Leofstan: to bee held from this day
forth for ever by the Church of Ram-
sey, in consideration of ten pounds
of pence, which hee gave unto him in
presence of the whole Court of Hu-
stings; of which ten pounds, he the said
Wolfnoth gave forty shillings unto Maud
his daughter for her

chance.

good will, be-
cause he had the Land by her Mother.
And the Abbot for his part gave her
halfe a marke of silver; and unto Wlf-
noths Wife, and other two children, for
their good wills, he gave five shillings.
Of this bargaine and sale, be on the part
of the Hustings these witnesses, William
of Einesford, Sheriffe of London, and
Iohn his Vnder-Sheriffe, and Gervase
his Clarke; Andrew Bucuint, and Ralfe
his sonne, and Ralfe his cousin; Gilbert
Proudfoot, William Bukerell, and many
others.

This deed hath no date mentioned,
but I finde this Reinold to have beene
made Abbot of Ramsey, by King Henry
the first as his Charter shewes, Sect.
214. The Successor to this Reinold was
one Walter but what yeere he was made
Abbot in, I finde not; but I finde that
he flourished Anno, 1149. that is, the
fourteenth yeere of King Stephen. By
this may you judge of the antiquity of
the deed, though the precise day be not
dated.

By this passage it cleerely appeareth,
that London was honoured with her
Sheriffes Office, even in the age of
King Henry the

the first,
at his comming to the Crowne: from
whose time our said Chroniclers begin
to reckon the first Maior and Sheriffes,
that is, from the yere of our Lord 1189.
But that the Sheriffes were granted
unto the City, together with the Coun-
ty of Middlesex, plainely appeares by
the said Kings Charter concerning the
liberties of London, given in the begin-
ning of his Raigne: nor doe the Maior
and Sheriffes much differ from those
former Magistrates of the City, the
Portreve, and Provost, as might bee
proved.

More-

Moreover, the Cities, of Yorke, Win-
chester, Lincolne, the Ile of Shepey, with
other Burroughs and Cities, are also
said to have had their Hustings. See
Fleta. Lib. 2. cap. 55.

A briefe Collection how
the Court of Request, com-
monly called the Court of Con-
science, in London, hath beene
established and continued for
many yeeres past, for the re-
liefe of poore Debtors in Lon-
don, and the Liberties there-
of, viz.

FIrst,

Anno 9. H. 8.

I finde that primo
February, Anno 9. H. 8.
an Act of Common
Councell was made,

The first begining of the said Court.

that the Lord Maior
and Aldermen of the
same City for the time being, should
monethly assigne and appoint two Al-
dermen, and foure discreet Commo-
ners to be Commissioners to sit in the
same Court twice a weeke, viz. Wed-
nesday, and Saterday, there to heare
and determine all matters brought be-
fore them betweene party and party,
(being Citizens and Freemen of Lon-
don) in all cases where the due debt or
damage did not exceed forty shillings.

This Act was to continue but for two
yeeres then next ensuing: But being
found charitable and profitable for the
reliefe of such poore Debtors as were
not able to make present payment of
their debts;

The rea-
sons why the said Court hath had continu-
ation.

and to restraine malicious
persons, from proceeding in their wil-
full Suits: and also to bee a great ease
and helpe to such poore persons as had
small debts owing to them, and were
not able to prosecute Suits in Law for
the same elsewhere:

Other Acts made since to the same purpose.

The same Act
hath sithence bin continued by divers
other Acts of Common Councell: and
hereby (besides the said two Aldermen
monthly assigned) the number of Com-
missioners were increased, from foure
to twelve. And so by that Authority,
the same Court continued till the end
of the Raigne of Queene Elizabeth, &c.

And then divers people, being Ci-
tizens and Freemen of London (contrary
to their Oathes formerly taken) repi-
ning at the authority of the same court,
and not regarding the expence of any
charges how great soever, so they might
have their desires upon their poore
Debtors,

The mali-
cious pro-
ceeding of cruell Creditors against poore men that claimed the benefit of the Court.

and being often animated
thereunto by divers Attorneys and So-
licitors (for their owne particular
gaine) did dayly commence Suits, for
such petty debts and causes against
poore men (Citizens and Freemen of
London) in the high Courts at West-
minster, or else-where out of the said
Court of Requests, to avoid the juris-
diction of the same Court, and to barre
the said Commissioners from staying
such Suits, and examining the said cau-
ses, and thereby caused the said poore
men many times to pay sixe times as
much charges as their principall debts
or damage did amount unto, to the un-
doing of such poore men, their wives
and children, and also to the filling of
the Prisons with the poore so sued:
where otherwise they might have got
their Debts in the said Court of Re-
quests, for very small charge and little
trouble.

For remedy whereof, & for the streng-
thening & establishing the said Court,
an Act of Parliament was then made in
Anno primo Iacobi Regis,

An. 1. Ian. An Act of Parlia-
ment for confir-
ming the power of the Court.

that every Ci-
tizen and Freeman of London, that had,
or should have any Debts owing to
him, not amounting to forty shillings,
by any Debtors (Citizens and Free
men of London) inhabiting in London
or the liberties thereof, should or might
cause such Debtors to be warned to ap-
peare before the Commissioners of the
said Court; and that the said Com-
missioner, or the greater number of
them, should from time to time set
downe such orders betweene such par-
ties, Plantiffe and Defendant, Credi-
tor and Debtor, touching such debts
not exceeding forty shillings, as they
should finde to stand with equity and
good conscience.

But sithence the making of that Act,
divers persons (intending to subvert the
good and charitable intent of the same)

have

have taken hold of some doubtfull and
ambiguous words therein, and have
wrested the same for their owne lucre
and gaine, to the avoiding the jurisdi-
ction of the same Court, contrary to the
godly meaning of the said Act.

For remedy whereof, and to the in-
tent that some more full and ample
provision might bee made for the fur-
ther establishing and strengthening of
the said Court, and for the better re-
liefe of such poore Debtors; another
Act of Parliament was made,

An. 3. Iac.

Anno 3.
Ias. whereby the authority of the said
Commissioners were much inlarged,
viz. that every Citizen and Freeman
of London,

An other Act of Parlia-
ment concer-
ning all debts un-
der the summe of forty shil-
lings.

[and every other person and
persons inhabiting, or that shall inhabit
within the City of London, or the liberties
thereof, being a Tradesman, Victualer, or
Labouring man,] which have or shall
have any debts owing to him or them,
not amounting to forty shillings, by any
Citizen or Freeman [or by any other
person or persons (being a Victualer, Trades-
man, or Labouring man) inhabiting with-
in the said City, or the Liberties thereof]
should or might cause such Debtors to
be warned to appeare before the said
Commissioners of the said Court of
Requests. And the said Commissio-
ners, or any three, or more of them,
shall have power to set downe such Or-
ders betweene Plaintiffe and Defen-
dant, Creditor and Debtor, touching
such debts not amounting to forty shil-
lings, as they shall finde to stand with
equity and good conscience.

Power of admini-
string an Oath.

Also the
said Commissioners, or any three, or
more of them, have power (by the said
Act) to minister an Oath to the Cre-
ditor or Debtor, and to such Witnes-
ses as shall bee produced on each part:
And also to commit to prison in one of
the Counters, such Creditor or Debtor,
as shall not appeare upon lawfull Sum-
mons, or not performe such order as the
said Commissioners, or any three, or
more of them shall set downe. And by
this last Act, the said Court of Requests
is established & continued to this day;
and God grant it may so long continue
to the reliefe of the poore, &c.

Collected by Thomas Griffins,
sometimes a Clarke of the
same Court, &c.

Giles Cripplegate Church.

To the Memory

Of Constance Whitney, eldest daugh-
ter to Sir Robert Whitney, of Whit-
ney, the proper possession of him and his
Ancestors, in Herefordshire, for above
500. yeeres past. Her Mother was the
fourth daughter of Sir Thomas Lucy.
of Charlecoite in Warwickshire, by
Constance Kingsmell, daughter and
Heire of Richard Kingsmell, Survey-
or of the Court of Wards. This Lady
Lucy, her Grandmother, so bred her
since she was eight yeeres old,

Thus farre written upon the figure
or resemblance of a Coffin.

As she excel’d in all noble qualities, becom-
ming a Virgin of so sweet propertion of
beauty and harmony of parts, she had all
sweetnesse of maners answerable:

A delightfull sharpnesse of wit;

An offencelesse modesty of conversation;

A singular respect and piety to her Pa-
rents; but Religious even to example.

She departed this life most Christianly, at
seventeene; dying, the griefe of all; but
to her Grandmother an unrecoverable
losse, save in her expectation, shee shall
not stay long after her, and the comfort of
knowing whose she is, and where in the
Resurrection to meet her.

This Table is on the South side
of the Quire in Saint Sepulchers,
with this Inscription.

To the living Memory of his
deceased Friend, Captaine IOHN
SMITH, who departed this mortall
life on the 21. day of Iune, 1631.
with his Armes, and this Motto,

Accordamus, vincere est vivere.
HEre lies one conquer’d
that hath conquer’d Kings,
Subdu’d large Territories,
and done things
Which to the World
impossible would see me,
But that the truth
is held in more esteeme.
Shall I report
his former service done
In honour of his God
and Christendome:
How
The Remaines.
                     
How that he did
divide from Pagans three,
Their Heads and Lives,
Types of his Chivalry:
For which great service
in that Climate done,
Brave Sigismundus
                        
                     
(King of Hungarion)
                        
                     
Did give him as a Coat
of Armes to weare,
Those conquer’d heads
got by his Sword and Speare?
Or shall I tell
of his adventures since,
Done in Virginia,
                        
                     
that large Continence:
How that he subdu’d
Kings unto his yoke,
And made those Heathen flie,
as wind doth smoke;
And made their Land,
being of so large a Station,
A habitation
for our Christian Nation:
Where God is glorifi’d,
their wants suppli’d,
Which else for necessaries
might have di’d?
But what availes his Conquest,
now he lyes
Inter’d in earth,
a prey for Wormes and Flies?
O may his soule
in sweet Elizium sleepe,
Vntill the Keeper
that all soules doth keepe,
Returne to Iudgement,
and that after thence,
With Angels he may have
his recompence.

nour of Virginia, and Admirall

Coya Shawsware.

THis Monument, or that of which
this is a shadow, with their Cha-
racters ingraven about it, stands
in Petty France, at the West end of the
lower Churchyard of Saint Botolphes
Bishopsgate (not within, but without
the walls, the bounds of our consecra-
ted ground) and was erected to the

memory

memory of one Coya Shawsware, a Per-
sian Merchant, and a principall ser-
vant and Secretary to the Persian Am-
bassadour, with whom he and his sonne
came over. He was aged 44. and buri-
ed the tenth of August, 1626. The Am-
bassadour himselfe, young Shawsware
his sonne, and many other Persians,
(with many expressions of their infi-
nite love and sorrow) following him to
the ground betweene eight and nine of
the clocke in the morning. The rites
and ceremonies that (with them) are
due to the dead, were chiefly perfor-
med by his sonne, who sitting crosse-
legged at the North end of the grave,
(for his Tombe stands North and
South) did one while Reade, another
while Sing; his Reading and Singing
intermixt with sighing and weeping.
And this, with other things that were
done in the Grave in private (to pre-
vent with the sight the relation) conti-
nued about halfe an houre.

But this was but this dayes businesse:
for, as this had not beene enough to
performe to their friend departed, to
this place and to this end (that is, Pray-
er, and other funerall devotions) some
of them came every morning and eve-
ning at sixe and sixe, for the space of a
moneth together. And had come (as
it was then imagined) the whole time
of their abode here in England, had not
the rudenesse of our people disturbed
and prevented their purpose.

Camera Dianae.

VPon Pauls wharfe Hill,
within a great gate, and
belonging to that gate
next to the Doctors Com-
mons, are many faire
Tenements, which in their Leases made
from the Deane and Chapter, goe by
the name or title of Camera Dianae; so
denominated from aspacious and speci-
ous building, that in the time of Henry
the second, stood where they now are
standing.

In this Camera, or arch’d and vaulted
Structure (full of intricate wayes and
windings) this H. the second (as some-
time he did at Woodstocke) did keepe, or
was supposed to have kept, that Iewell
of his heart, faire Rosamond; she whom
there he called Rosa Mundi; and here,
by the name of Diana; and from hence
had this house that title.

To this day are remaines, and some
evident testifications of tedious tur-
nings and windings; as also of a passage
under ground, from this house to Caste-Baynard,
which was no doubt the Kings
way from thence to his Camera Dianae,
or the Chamber of his brightest Diana.

Of the three Brethen appointed to preach at Saint
Maires Spittle at Easter 1632.

HAving renued the memory of
this, from a time so long before
us, let us remember and ende-
vour to maintaine to posterity, among
many memorable things of our owne
time, that of those three worthy Bre-
thren, Doctor Samuel Wincope, Master
Thomas Wincope, and Master Iohn Win-
cope, learned and reverend Divines, that
upon Munday, Tuesday, and Wed-
nesday, in Easter weeke, 1632. prea-
ched at Saint Maries Spittle. Three
Brothers, such a thing (as but in these)
is not knowne to any man living, nor
recorded to any mans reading. Yet to
this let me adde this more, being cal-
led to this place to prech, from places
divided by many miles one from ano-

ther

other, they met not so happily here to
preach, as in the matter upon which
they did preach: for though their Texts
were severall, their subject was one and
the same, this is worthy our observa-
tion; yet to make it worth admiration,
and a perpetuall memory, wee are to
take notice, how upon that one and the
same subject, they did precede and suc-
ceed one the other like the linkes in a
golden chaine, the second beginning
where the first ended, and the third
where the second ended; the last abso-
lutely concluding what the two former
had so absolutely induced to, with their
admirable ends and uses.

A briefe relation of the six children drowned at the
Ducking pond, Ianuary 19. 1633.

VPon Saterday the 19. of Ianu-
ary, 1633. sixe pretty young
Lads, going to sport themselves
upon the frozen Ducking-pond, neere
to Clearken well, the Ice too weake to
support them, fell into the water, con-
cluding their pastime with the lamen-
table losse of their lives: to the great
griefe of many that saw them dying,
many more that afterward saw them
dead, with the in-expressible griefe
of their Parents.

A briefe Relation of that lamentable Fire, that hapned
on London Bridge, the 13. of February 1633.

FRom this let us turne, our eyes up-
on that lamentable Fire upon Lon-
don bridge, that upon Monday the
13. of February, 1633. betweene ele-
ven and twelve towards midnight gave
us ashes in stead of Beauty: the ashes,
into which the third part of the Bridge
was consum’d, for the beautifull Frames
so consumed.

The number of the houses then burnt
on both sides the Bridge, from the
Church called Saint Magnus, to the
first open place, were two and for-
ty; all which (with a great part of
their wares, the goods, and rich furni-
ture in them) were devoured to the
ground (though many hands, much la-
bour, with a great deale of feare and
danger, were carefully employed to
prevent it) before eight of the clocke
the next morning. Thus suddenly they
were burnt to the ground, all above
ground quencht and extinguisht, but
beneath in their Vaults and Cellars, the
fire remained glowing and burning for
the space of a whole weeke after.

The house in which it began was the
house of one Master Brigs (at the hither
end of the Bridge) a Needle-maker:
but now it beganne, because divesly
spoken by many, I would not set downe
from any.

The losse was great and sudden, pre-
senting (as a glasse) the length of a
lease or of life, when such a sad chance
shall betide us. Though getting a long
lease of our lands, we presume of a lease
of our lives, of a long and secure pos-
session; like those in the 4. of Iames,
that say, To day or to morrow we will goe
into such a City, and continue there for a
yeere, and buy, and sell, and get money.
They will goe, they will stay, they will
get, such losses as these never thought
on; though the same Prophet (in
the same place) tell them, They know
not what the morrow may bring with
it.

Memoriae Sacrum.

HEre lyeth the body of Richard
Lusher of Putney,

Putney.

in the Coun-
ty of Surrey Esquire: who mar-
ried Mary, the second Daughter of
George Scot of Staplefoord Taune, in the
County of Essex, Esquire. He depar-
ted this life the 27. of September, An-
no 1615. Aetatis sua 30.

What tongue can speake
the vertues of this creature,
Whose Body faire,
whose Soule of rarer feature?
He liv’d a Saint,
he di’d a holy Wight,
In Heaven, on earth,
a joyfull heavy sight.
Body Soule united,
agree’d in one,
Like strings well tuned
in an Vni-sone.
No discord harsh
this Navell could untie,
’Twas Heaven, the Earth,
this Musicke did envy.
Wherefore may well be said.
He lived well;
And being dead,
the world his vertues tell.

                                 Though Richard Lusher
                              
sleepeth in the dust,
He sleepes in hope,
and hopes to live againe:
His soule in Heaven
is waking with the just,
And wakes in joy,
being free’d from sense of paine,
Bones take your rest,
your soule in Heaven attends,
The blest re-union
of two loving friends.

Marito

Marito dilectissimo, Maria Lusher con-
jux Moestissima, in perpetuum Amoris
Testimonium, hoc Monumentum plo-
rans posuit.

Mary, by her first match, Lusher, daugh-
ter of George Scot, Esquire, descended
from Iohn Scot, Lord chiefe Justice
of England, in the raigne of King Ed-
ward the third, and after wife to Tho-
mas Knivet, descended from Iohn
Knivet Knight, Lord chiefe Justice
in the same Kings raigne, and Lord
Chancellour of England.

To Thomas Knivet.
That you have laid
my body here,
By that first side
I lov’d so deere,
I thanke you Husband:
That the poore
Are still your care,
I thanke you more.
These last I charg’d
you with alive,
Being done, I rest,
while you survive.
But yet I have
another Boone,
When Fate shall come
(as come full soone
It will, and will
not be deni’d)
That you would close
my other side.
Y’ave thought it worthy
to bee read
You once were second
to my bed;
Why may you not
like title have,
To this my second bed,
the Grave?
This Stone will cover
us all three,
And under it
we shall be free
From Love, or Hate,
or least distrust
Of Jealousie
to vexe our dust:
For here our bodies
doe but wait
The summons for
their glorious state.

For his well gotten fame

But this was rear’d,

Lives in their loves,

For unto vertue,
who first rais’d his name,
He left the preservation
of the same:
And to postery
remaine it shall,
When Brasse and Marble
Monuments doe fall.
Learne for to die
while thou hast breath,
So shalt thou live
after thy death.

Whom he hath put in trust,
As Fathers in the poores behalfe,
To be vpright and just.
Which men, I doubt not, but our God
Who seeth all things shall finde,
True in dispensing of the same
According to his minde.
Ye poore, thanke Christ for Savage still,
                     
Extoll Gods Name with praise,
That he, to follow his good Act,
In time may many raise.

This stone doth tell, the Children
and the Mother,
That liu’d and dy’d

The children first
Death did deprive of life,
Yet stai’d not there,
but tooke away the Wife.
Insatiate Death,
not with the Fruit content▪
But thy last malice
on the Tree hast spent.
Her vertuous life
it needlesse were to praise,
That’s still the glosse
to cover vicious wayes:
Ile say but this,
that all who knew her well,
For life, for death,
will say she did excell.

Inscription.

Memoriae Sacrum.

What needs an Epitaph
to found our praise,
Our wealth, our greatnes forth,
or length of dayes;
When briefly on this Marble
we may reade,
The glory of the living
and the dead.

A modest, chaste,
religious loving Wife
Lies here at rest,
patient in death and life;
Even all the graces
which ’mongst many were
Divided, sweetly flow’d
and met in her.

And though death did his worst,
thinking in rage,
To leave no patterne
for succeeding age,
Yet lives her vertues,
and this memory
Tells what she was,
and what her Sex should be.

Erected by Iohn Bennet, in memory of
Elizabeth his beloved wife, who de-
parted this life the 18. of Novem-

An Epitaph upon the death of
the vertuous & worthy Gen-
tleman, Edward Saunders Es-
quire, Obijt vltimo die Novem-
bris Anno 1599.

His name, his place,
the gentry of his birth,
And credit held
unto his dying dayes,
Were things that gave him
favour here on earth,
But gave him not
the greatest of his praise.

His greatest glory
was his godly life,
The bounty of his house
and open doore,
His Countries love,
his kindnesse to his wife,
Faith to his friend,
and pitty to the poore.
His vertue, valour,
and all good desires,
His zeale and life
agreeing to the same,
And last the death
that such a life requires,
These be the true records
of lasting fame.

These wright him blessed
in the Heavens above,
And leave him in the world
good will and love.

For threats he doth not care.

All men assure, and eke perswade,
Death shall them equall bring.

 the silent
                        
Messengers of death,
Dissolve their streames
into a Sea of moane?
No, no, in vaine
you sacrifice reliefe,
Over his Tombe, with eyes,
with voyce, with groane,
For Cole assign’d by God,
                        
the poore to pity,
The widowes comfort,
and eke the Orphans Sire,
Who tun’d each string of hate
to loves sweet ditty,
Is dead: aye me, will death
the best desire?
Remorselesse death,
thy wrath in him is ended,
Maugre thy darts,
his praises cannot dye,
Thou hast his body,
but his soule ascended
Into the place
of joyes eternity,
And though his corps inter’d
lye dead in grave,
Yet still his vertues
life and being have.
An. Dom. 1597.
In Parliament, a Burgesse,

                           Cole was placed,

But now with Saints above
his soule is graced,
And lives a Burgesse
with Heavens royall Peeres.
Oblessed change, from earth,
where Death is King,
To be united there
where Angels sing.

Ejusdem in eundem.

Terra tegit Corpus, mens scandit

Fama virens floret,

Thus in English.

The Grave my body,

Heaven my soule doth keepe,

The World my fame,

the rest in death doth sleepe.

Margaretta Cole posuit.
                           
 In another columne of the same Table.
                        
This Monument unites
two constant Lovers,
He that is dead,
and her that lives in death:
His Body she, his Spouse,
in honour covers,
Wishing her dayes
were shortned with his death.
But she must live,
yet living shall be mated,
With him in death,
while death her life hath dated.
Full twenty yeeres and odde
their league was firme,
Witnesse the world,
their children, and their love,
Nothing but death, by death
should give the tearme
Of farewell to their faith,
by false remove.
Of breach of concord
no tongue can accuse them,
Vnlesse base envy
by her Saints abuse them.
O envy not the dead,
but die to sinne,
Expect the harvest
of this dead mans blisse,
Desire the Crowne
which envy cannot winne,
Amend in you, not others,
what’s amisse.
Sad death shall be
your Herauld to procure
Rest to your soules
with Christ for to endure.

                           Marget in woe, distill
                        
those teares to comfort,
And in thy childrens love
addresse thy anguish:
Three
The Remaines.
                        
Three live with thee,
then love their living consort,
No longer in thy Husbands
sorrow languish.
But imitate thy Cole
                           
                        
in Vertues lawes,
That thou maist live where
Vertue pleads his cause.

Here lyeth the Lady Dorothy Stafford,
Wife and Widdow to Sir William
Stafford, Knight, Daughter to Henry
Lord Stafford, the onely Sonne of
Edward, the last Duke of Bucking-
ham: her Mother was Vrsula, Daugh-
ter to the Countesse of Salisbury, the
onely Daughter to George Duke of
Clarence, Brother to King Edward
the fourth. Shee continued a true
Widdow, from the age of 27. till
her death. She served Queene Eli-
zabeth 40. yeeres, lying in the Bed-
chamber, esteemed of her, loved of
all, doing good all she could to eve-
ry body, never hurted any; a con-
tinuall remembrancer of the suites
of the poore. As shee lived a religi-
ous life, in great reputation of ho-
nour and vertue in the world, so she
ended in continuall fervent medita-
tion and hearty prayer to God. At
which instant (as all her life) so after
her death shee gave liberally to the
poore, and died aged 78. the 22.
of September 1604. In whose re-
membrance, Sir Edward Stafford her
Sonne hath caused this memoriall
of her to be, in the same forme and
place as she her selfe long since re-
quired him.

On a Monument on the North

Neere unto the other, in a faire
Plate, is this following
Epitaph.

A memoriall on the death of Iohn Varnam
Gardiner, who deceased the xj. of De-
cember, 1586. Aetatis suae 46.

O mortall man that lives on earth,
consider well thy end,
Remember that thou must depart,
when God for thee doth send.
This life is but a pilgrimage,
so soone it doth decay,
And all the riches of this world
shall fade and passe away:
As by example daily shew’d,
before our eyes we see,
That rich & poore to earth are brought
for their iniquity.
Let us that live on earth behind,
to God for mercy call,
With wofull heart & wringing hands,
and he will blesse us all.
And
The Remaines.
                     
And now to speake of this good man,

                        Iohn Varnam cal’d by name,
                     
Who in his life he lived well,
by labour, travaile, and paine,
In helping of the fatherlesse,
and widowes very poore,
And setting ever them on worke
which went from doore to doore.

A Gardiner by Art he was,
great skill he had therein,
And prosper’d well in all his life,
with every living thing
That he at all times tooke in hand:
To God be given all praise,
That did increase this honest man
with riches many wayes.

The poore they had great work of him,
by weeding of his ground,
And he to them was well content,
to leave assurance found,
                     
Of land and living to releeve
the fatherlesse in need,
So he confirmed this his minde,
by will it was decree’d.

                        Agnes Varnam left behind,
                     
his loving wife most sure,
By her he had foure sonnes, likewise
foure daughters, Virgins pure:
Who all being dead, and none alive,
but Elizabeth by name,
                     
And in remembrance of his life,
they have set up this same.

He willingly did yeeld himselfe,
in God was all his trust,
And in the last houre of his death,
he shew’d his faith most just,
To leave this world most cheerefully,
desirous to depart,
Asking forgivenesse of the world,
and forgiving with his heart

To those which he at any time
in deed or word offended:
Most joyfully his soule was then
vnto the Lord commended.
And thus he left his life,
in briefe to tell you plaine,
Hoping in Heaven to be receiv’d,
for ever to remaine.

In the same Ile, in the body of
the Church, is this In-
scription.

Cornelius Vandun lieth here, borne at
Breda in Brabant, Souldier with King
Henry at Turney, Yeoman of the

folke, who in the end of this towne
did build for poore widowes twenty
houses of his owne cost.

On the same Wall, in a Table,

In memory of the late deceased Virgin,
                     
 Mistris Elizabeth Hereicke.
                     
                  
Sweet Virgin,
that I doe not set
Thy Grave-verse up
in mournfinll Jet
Or dapl’d Marble,
let thy shade
Not wrathful seeme,
or fright the maid,
Who hither at her
weeping howres,
Shall come to strew
thy earth with flowres:
No, know blest soule,
when there’s not one
Remainder left
of brasse or stone,
Thy living Epitaph
shall be
Though lost in them
yet found in me:
Deare, in thy bed
of Roses then,
Till this world shall
dissolve (as men)
Sleepe, while we hide thee
from the light,
Drawing thy Curtains round—
Good night.

On a Table hanging at the up-
per end of the South Ile is
                     
 this written.
                  
In memory of the right vertuous and
                     
 beautifull Gentlewoman, Mistris

 Eliz. 41.
                  
Tell thou my wailing verse,
and mourning show,
What beauteous frame
lies here interr’d below.
Here underneath entomb’d
a Dazie lies,
The pride of nature,
with perfection fil’d;
O woe, whom Zephyres blasts
                  
can ne’r make rise,
Being by Deaths blacke storms
untimely kild.

                     Ratcliffe’s thy name,
                  
the glory of the Court,
Vertue and Beauty strove
t’adorne thee most,
Though here inclos’d,
yet fame shall still report
Thy Vertues praise,
thy graces time shall boast,
Thou di’dst a Virgin pure,
and spotlesse liver,
Griefe caus’d thy death,
death makes thee live for ever.
If any aske, who sigh’d
this sad complaint,
Say one that liv’d, that lov’d,
that ioyed, now faint.
