Inscription

Here lies deposited the mortal of
the man of God, the Rev. Ebenezer
Parkman who was born Sept. 5th 1703;
ordained the First Bishop of the Church
in Westborough Oct. 28th, 1724, and died on
the 9th of December 1782 having
completed his 79th year of his age on
Sept. 16th and the 58th year of his
Ministry on Nov. 8th preceding.

He was formed by nature and education
to be an able minister of the new
testament and obtained grace to
be eminently faithful in the work of the
Lord. He was a firm friend to the faith,
order and constitution of the New
England churches.

He was a learned, pious good man and
full of the Holy Ghost and faith
unfeigned and answered St. Paul’s
description of a scripture bishop being
blameless, vigilant, sober, of good
behaviour, given to hospitality,
apt to teach.

Be thou faithful unto death and I will
give thee a crown of life says Christ.
