Inscription
Here lyeth Interred
Chriftopher Philips Esqr who departed this life Auguft ye 10th 1753 in ye 60th Year of his Age
--------------------------------------------
And alfo Sarah his Wife, who departed this life
July ye 10th 1753 in ye 53d. Year of her Age.
Whereas one Bed did both contain in life,
This constant Husband, and his faithful Wife,
So doth this Tomb their mortal parts confine,
In sure expectance of the apointed Sign,
When the Arch-Angel, with fhrill Trumpet's Sound,
Shall call to life, the renovated ground;
Then shall their Souls a Resurection fee,
And re-united to their Bodies be.
[History, I. 128, 427-9; II. 549]
