HERE Lies the Body of

In private & public he sought ye honour of God;

love for ye Chh, charity to ye poor, joy in the believing & faithful
endeavors to promote ye reformation & salvation of men,

and encouraged christians by ye word & promises of God,
He calmly fell asleep in lively hope of future glory,
Mark ye perfect, behold ye upright, his end is peace!
Psalmist
