ECCLESIAE SANCTI PAVLI fundatio.

DE hujus illustris Templi funda­tione nonnihil quidem dis­crepant Scriptores: opinio tamen receptissima est, Primò ab Aethelberto Cantij Regu­lo, circiter annum redempti­onis 610. conditum esse, qui illi possessiones dedit, vt apparet.

Aedelbertus Rex Deo inspirante, pro animae suae re­medio, dedit Episcopo Melito terram quae appellatur Tillingham ad Monaster. sui solatium, scilicet S. Pauli: Et ego Rex Aethelbertus ita firmiter concedo tibi Praesuli Melito potestatem eius habendi, & possidendi vt in perpetuum in Monasterij vtilitate permaneat, &c.

Athelstanus, Edgarus, Edovardus nomine Con­fessor, & alij possessiones illi dederunt.

Rex Guilielmus Victor aedi S. Pauli Mauricioque illo tempore Episcopo & successoribus ejus Stort­ford [Page 2] arcem, quaeque ad eam pertinent, dedit. Mu­nera etiam majorum suorum confirmavit.

Diploma Guilielmi Victoris huic S. Pauli Tem­plo datum, memoriae proditum in Turre Londi­nensi conspiciendum est.

Anno 1087. hoc Templum flammis absumptum est, unâque cum illo maxima pars Ciuitatis. Ex quo Mauricius tunc Episcopus novae aedis funda­mentum ponebat: opus quod nunquam perfectum iri putabant, eò longitudinis & latitudinis in im­mensum productum est; idemque est fornicatis lapidibus (vt ab igne defendatur) aedificatum, quod artificium hujus gentis populo prius incognitum est, à Gallis huc allatum, lapides vero à Cano in Normandia adducti sunt.

Hic Mauricius, anno 1107. mortem cum vita commutavit, Richardo Beau [...]is (non Beamor vt ait Stow) in Episcopatum illi succedente, qui Templum illud mirificè exauxit, proprio (que) sumptu, omnes circa ipsum plateas & viculos (in quibus an­tea habitavit vulgus) vt in illis pij sanctique homi­nes habitent, inque illorum beneficium nactus est.

Turris vel Pyramis hujus Templi anno 1222. condita est.

Novum (vt dicitur) S. Pauli opus, ad Orientem, & à fronte Chori (velloci in quo canunt) anno 1251. perfectum est.

Henricus Lacy Comes Lincolniensis, Angliae Custos &c. Et Rodulfus Balduck Episcopus Lon­don, magna in hanc aedem (circiter annum 1310.) beneficia contulerunt.

Anno 1444. Pyramis secundò, fulmine incensa est, & magno labore, breui tempore, aceto (vt quidem apparebat,) restinguebatur: sed paulò post, prorupit rursum ignis, non sine magno cum lignei tum plumbei operis detrimento: sed anno 1462. refecta & renovata est.

Anno 1561. ista Pyramis iterum, caelitus ful­mine incensa est, tantaque vi & ardore flagravit, vt brevi tempore tota Pyramis unâ cum tota Templi testudine, cùm ex ligno tum explumbo, consum­ta sit, non sine magna lamentatione perpetuaque spectatorum (quorum aliqui adhuc animam du­cunt) memoriâ. Peracto hoc gravi infortunio, Serenissima Regina Elizabetha p. m. ad D. Praeto­rem (ut quam celerrimè reparetur,) literas misit, illáque ipsa pro ingenua sua indole & liberalitate evestigiò 1000. Marcas aureas, & ex sylvis suis 1000. lignorum vehes, ad expeditam ejus restaura­tionem donabat.

Ut taceam quid de Templi longitudine, latitu­dinéque, & Pyramidis altitudine (quae ad hoc non pertinent) dici possit: Habet hoc Templum Gu­bernatores, Episcopum, Decanum, Praecentorem, Cancellarium, Quaestorem, & quinque Archidia­conos; nimirum, London, Midlesex, Essex, Col­chester, & S. Albans: habet Praebendarios trigin­ta, & ad Chorum in re divina instruendum, Cano­nicos parvos (vulgo Peti-canons) duodecim, Vica­rios chorales sex, Choristas decem.

Collector ad Lectorem.

EPiscoporū Catalogū à principio, ad hoc usque tempus, annectendum aequum putavi. De De­canis verò non multis verbis opus est; non tamen doctissimi illius Ioannis Coleti, veri Euangelij in illa nebulosa tempestate Papistica (annis ab hinc jam centum) professoris, nomen, memoriamque foe­licem oblivione possum obruere: nec (ad semi­centum annos) reverendi Alexandri Nowelli illius sanctissimi viri, qui Decanatui quadraginta am­plius annis, omnium omnis generis hominum, prae­cipuè bonorum, summo amore praefuit. Et non so­lùm nomine bonus appellatus est, sed etiam & in vita sua bonit as apparuit, & in morte bona suà ope­ra illum sunt sequuta, & uberiùs & fusiùs in Effigie­bus nostris & vit is illustrium Anglorum cum de Co­leto tum de illo apparet: (quae nunc transmarino habitu vestiendae sunt:) quare hic illum pluribus prosequi verbis non est opus. Nec omittendum puto ejus successorem Ioannem Ouerall, S. Theo­logiae Doctorem, virum summa doctrina, ingenio acuto, judicioque sagacissimo praeditum, qui dig­nitatem bona laude & applausu (de quo ipse testi­monium possum perhibere) annos tredecim obti­nuit: & nunc praesenti anno 1614. illo à supremo nostro Rege Iacobo ad Coventrie & Lichfeldiae Epis­copatum provecto; visum est Majestati suae ad hunc Decanatum Valentinum Carey generosi & ingenui sanguinis, S. Theologiae Doctorem, Christi Colle­gij Cantabrigiensis Magistrum, virumque, vt di­cunt, doctrina & eruditione non multis inferiorē, promovere. Et sic, candide Lector, vale & fruere.

THE FOVNDATION of SAINT PAVLES Church.

ABout the foundation of this fa­mous Church writers do som­what varie: but the most re­ceiued opinion is, that it was first founded by Aethelbert King of Kent: about the yeere of Christ 610. who gaue thereto lands, as appeareth;

King Aethelbert, God inspiring him, for the peace of his soule, hath giuen to Bishop Mellitus certaine land called Tillengham, towards the main­tenance of his Monastery, of S. Paul: And I Aethel­bert the King doe firmely graunt to thee Mellitus the Prelate, full power to haue and to hold it for the perpetuall profit of the said Monasterie, &c.

Athelstane, Edgare, Edward the Confessor and others gaue lands therevnto.

William the Conquerour gaue to the Church of S. Paul, and to Mauricius then Bishop, and his suc­cessors, [Page 6] the castle of Stortford with the appurte­nances: He also confirmed the gifts of his Prede­cessours.

The Charter of William Conquerour giuen to this Church of S. Paul is recorded and to bee seene in the Tower of London.

In the yeere 1087. this Church was burnt with fire, and therewith the most part of the Citie: wherevpon Mauricius then Bishop, began the foun­dation of a new Church: a worke that men thought would neuer haue been finished, it was to them so wonderfull for length and bredth, and also the same was builded vpon arched vaults of stone for defence against fire, which was a manner of worke till then vnknowne to the people of this nation; brought in by the French, and the stone from Cane in Normandie.

This Mauricius deceased in the yeere 1107. Ri­chard Beauvais (not Beamor as Stow saith) succee­ding him in the Bishopricke, who did wonderfully increase the said Church, purchasing at his owne cost all the streetes and lanes about it (wherein be­fore did dwell many lay people) for religious men to dwell in, and for their benefit &c.

The tower or steple of this Church was finished, ann. 1222.

The new worke of Paules, so called, at the East end aboue the Quier, was finished, ann. 1251.

Henry Lacy Earle of Lincolne, Custos of England &c. and Ralfe Balduck Bishop of London were great benefactors vnto this Church about the [Page 7] yeere 1310. Anno 1444. the steeple was the se­cond time fired by lightning, and by great labour the same was in short time, to appearance, quen­ched with vineger: but within a few houres the fire burst forth againe and did much hurt to the timber and leaden worke: but in the yeere 1462. it was re­paired and amended.

Anno 1561. this steeple was againe set on fire by lightning from heauen, and it burned with such ve­hemencie, that within a short space all the spire of the steeple, with all the roofes of the Church both leaden-worke and timber-worke were consumed, to the great sorrow and perpetuall remembrance of the beholders (diuers whereof are yet liuing.) After this great misfortune, Queene Elizabeth of blessed memory directed letters to the Lord Major for the speedy repayring of the same, and She of her owne gratious disposition and bounty, did giue presently in gold 1000. markes, and a warrant for a 1000. loads of timber to be taken out of her woods, to further the reparation thereof, &c.

To omit what might bee said concerning the height of the steeple, the length and bredth of the Church, as things impertinent; this Church hath for Gouernours, a Bishop, a Deane, a Precentor, a Chauncellor, a Treasurer, and 5. Archdeacons; to wit, of London, Middlesex, Essex, Colchester, and S. Albans: it hath Prebendaries 30. and to furnish the Quire in diuine seruice, Pety-canons 12. Vicars chorall 6. Queristers 10. &c.

At the entrance of the North side or Jle of the Quire or Chancell.

1 First, lieth Sebba King of the East-Saxons, in a coffin of grey marble with this inscription, han­ging by.

HIC jacet Sebba Rex Orientalium Saxonum, qui conversus fuit ad fidem per S. Erkenwal­dum Londinens. Episcopum, anno Christi 677. Vir multum Deo devotus actibus religiosis, crebris precibus, & pijs eleemosynarum fructibus plurimum intentus: vitam privatam & monasticā cunctis regni divitijs & honoribus preferens. Qui cùm regnasset annis 30. habitum religiosum acce­pit per benedictionem Waltheri Londinensis An­tistitis qui prefato Erkenwaldo successit: de quo Venerabilis Beda in Historia Gentis Anglorum.

2 Next vnto King Sebba, lieth King Etheldred, also in a grey marble coffin within the Wall, with this inscription, hanging by.

HIc jacet Etheldredus Anglorum Rex, filius Edgari Regis, cui in die consecrationis hic post impositam Coronam, fertur S. Dunsta­nus Cantuar: Archiepiscopus dira praedixisse his verbis: Quoniam aspirasti ad Regnum per mortem fratris tui in cujus sanguine conspirauerunt Angli [Page] cum ignominiosa matre tua, non deficiet gladius de domo tua seuiens in te omnibus diebus vitae tuae, interficiens de semine tuo quovsque regnum tuum transferatur in regnum alienum, cujus ritum & lin­guam gens cui presides non novit; nec expiabitur nisi longa vindicta peccatum tuum & peccatum matris tuae, & peccata virorum qui interfuere con­cilio illius nequam. Quae sicut à viro Sancto pre­dicta erant, evenerunt: Nam Etheldredus varijs praelijs per Suanum Danorum Regem, filiumque fuum Canutum fatigatus & fugatus ac tandem Londini arcta obsidione conclusus, misere diem obijt anno dominicae incarnationis 1017. postquam annis 36. in magna tribulatione regnasset.

3 Then lieth Fulke Louel, with this Inscription, in the Wall, in grey Marble.

HIc jacet Magister Fulco Lovel quondam Ar­chidiaconus Colcestriae.

Floruit sub Henrico 3. Rege.

4 In the midst of the Quier neere vnto the prea­ching place vnder a tombe of grey Marble.

HIc requiescit in Domino Rogerus cogno­mento Niger, quondam Canonicus hujus Ecclesiae S. Pauli: Ac deinde in Londinens. [Page] Episcopum consecratus anno salutis 1228. Vir in literatura profundus, moribus honestus, ac paer om­nia laudabilis Christianae religionis amator ac de­fensor strenuus. Qui cum pastorale suum officium vigilantèr & studiose rexisset annis 14. diem suum clausit extremum apud Manerium suum de Ste­benheth 3. calend. Octob. ann. Christi 1241. reg­nante Rege Henrico 3.

Contigit hijs diebus dum Episcopus iste Rogerus in hac Ecclesia ante majus Altare staret infulatus ad celebrandum divina, quod tanta in aëre facta est nubium densitas, vt vix alter alterum discernere possit, quam confestim sequuta est tonitrui horri­bilis concussio cum tanta fulminis coruscatione ac foetore intollerabili, vt omnes qui aderant rapide fugientes nihil verius quam mortem expectarent. Solus Episcopus cum vno Diacono remansit intre­pidus. Aëre tandem purgato Episcopus residuum rei divinae expleuit.

Epitaphium eius super tumulo.

Ecclesiae quondam Praesul praesentis, in anno
M. bis C. quater X. jacet hic Rogerus humatus.
Hujus erat manibus D. no locus iste dicatus:
Christe suis precibus veniam des, tolle reatus.

5 Entring in at the middle dore of the Quier vn­der a flat stone with curious brasse-worke, lieth Thomas Evre Deane of Paules, with this in­scription on it following.

HIc infra jacet corpus Magistri Thomae de Evre, Legū Doctoris, istius Ecclesiae S. Pauli quon­dam Decani, qui die no no mensis Octob. ann. Do. millesimo quadringintesimo & sui Decanatus anno 12. diem suum clausit extremum: cujus animae propicietur Deus, Amen.

6 Iohn Platagenet called of Gaunt, in a most stately monument artificially raised of white free stone, with his launce, and target of horne han­ging by.

HIc in Domino obdormivit Ioannes Gandaven­sis, vulgo de Gaunt, à Gandavo Flandriae vrbe loco natali ita denominatus, Edwardi 3. Regis An­gliae filius à patre Comitis Richmondiae titulo or­natus. Tres sibi vxores in matrimonio duxit: pri­mam, Blancham filiam & haeredem Henrici Ducis Lancastriae per quam amplissimam adijt haeredita­tem: Nec solum Dux Lancastriae, sed etiam Leice­striae, Lincolniae & Derbiae Comes effectus: E cujus sobole Imperatores, Reges, Principes & Proceres propagati sunt plurimi. Alteram habuit vxorem Constantiam (quae hic contumelatur) filiam & hae­redem Petri Regis Castilliae & Legionis, cujus jure optimo titulo Regis Castilliae & Legionis vsus est. Haec vnicam illi peperit filiam Catharinam, ex qua ab Henrico Reges Hispaniae sunt propagati. Ter­tiam vero vxorem duxit Catharinam ex equestri familia, & eximia pulchritudine foeminam, ex qua [Page] numerosam suscepit prolem: vnde genus ex matre duxit Henricus 7. Rex Angliae prudentissimus: cujus felicissimo conjugio cum Elizabetha Edw: 4. Regis filia è stirpe Eboracensi Regiae illae Lanca­striensium & Ebora censium familiae, ad exoptatissi­mam Angliae pacem coaluerunt.

Illustrissimus hic Princeps Iohannes cognomento Plantagenet, Rex Castilliae & Legionis, Dux Lancastriae, Comes Richmondiae, Leycestriae, Lincolniae & Derbiae, locum tenens Acquitaniae, magnus Senescallus Angliae, obijt ann. 22. regni Regis Ricardi 2. Anno (que) Domini 1399.

HIc requiescit Simon Burley Banerettus, quin (que) Portuum Praefectus, Ordinis Garterij Miles & Ricardo 2. Consiliarius longe charissimus, cōnubio sibi conjunctas habuit ex amplissimis familijs duas vxores, alteram Staffordiae, alteram Baronis de Roos filiam. Verum difficillimo illo tempore cum inter Angliae Proceres omnia sub juvene Principe simultatibus agitarentur, in tantum nonnullorum odium incurrit vt Parlamentaria authoritate ca­pite plecteretur, anno Dom. 1388. Posteri autem eadem postea authoritate sub Rege Henrico 4. sunt restituti.

Si plura velis, Frosardum
& Angliae historiam consulas.

8 Within the Wall, lieth S. r Ralph de Hengham, Lord chiefe Iustice of both Benches, ann. 1308.

SI quis erat prudens vnquam fidusque Senator,

Si quis ad externas Legatus idoneus oras,
Si cui iustitiae cura, boni (que) fuit,
Is Masonus erat, sit tota Britannia testis,
Testis amor Procerum, sit populi (que) favor;
Tempore quin (que) suo regnantes ordine vidit,
Horum à Consilijs quatuor ille fuit:
Tres & sex decies vixit non amplius annos:
Hic tegitur corpus, spiritus astra tenet.
Hunc tumulum Coniunx posuit dilecta marito,
Quem (que) viro posuit: destinat ipsa sibi.
Triste Nepos carmen, quem fecit adoptio natum,
Tum Patris inscripsit, tum patrui tumulo.

Then is there these Acrosticke verses following.

Shall Honour, Fame, and Titles of Renowne
In clods of clay be thus enclosed still?
Rather will I, though wiser wits may frowne,
For to enlarge his Fame extend my skill:
Right gentle Reader, be it knowne to thee,
A famous Knight doth here interred lie
Noble by birth, renowm'd for Policie,
Confounding foes which wrought our ieopardie:
In forrein Countries their intents he knew,
Such was his zeale to doe his Country good,
When dangers would by enemies ensue
As well as they themselues he vnderstood:
Launch forth yee Muses into streames of Prayse,
Sing and sound forth praise-worth harmonie:
In England Death cut off his dismall day's,
Not wrongd by Death but by false treachery.
Grudge not at this vnperfect Epitaph,
Herein I haue exprest my simple skill,
As the first fruits proceeding from a graffe;
Make then a better whosoeuer will.
Disce quid es, quid eris,
Memor esto quod morieris.
E. W.

Next lieth S r. Philip Sidney, without Tombe, with this Epitaph following, ann. 1586.

ENgland, Netherland, the Heauens, and the Arts,
The Souldiours, & the World, haue made 6 parts
Of the Noble SIDNEY: for none will suppose,
That a small heape of stones can Sidney enclose.
His body hath England, for shee it bred,
Netherland his bloud, in her defence shed:
The Heauens haue his soule, the Arts haue his fame,
All Souldiours the griefe, the World his good name.

SIR Philip Sidney, and S r. Francis Walsingham haue no Tombes: wherevpon Iohn Stow saith a merry Poet wrote thus,

Philip and Francis they haue no Tombe,
For great CHRISTOPHER takes all the roome.

And no doubt but the merry Poet was the mer­ry old man Stow himselfe.

HIC jacet Robertus Benn de Newport Cran­ley in Comitatu Surrey Generosus: Qui obijt 10. die mensis Februar. anno Verbi In­carnati 1606.

Ad hunc Honorem sors, sed equitas fides,
Doctrina, pietas, vnica & Prudentia,
Neu morte raptum crede: qui vnica breui,
Vita perennes emerit duas, agit
Vitam secundam coelites inter animus,
Fama implet orbem, vita quae ill tertia est,
Hac positum in Ara est corpus, olim animi domus,
Ara dicata sempiternae memoriae.

SACRVM MEMORIAE.

D. CHR. HATTONI GVIL. FIL. IO: NEPO. an­tiquiss. Hattonorum Gente oriundi: Regiae Majestatis D. Elizabethae ex Nobilibus Stipatoribus: L.-Vici: Sacratioris Camerae Generosorum vnius, Praetorianorū Militum Ducis: Regij Pro-Camerarij: Sanctioris Consilij Senatoris: Summi Angliae ac [Page] Oxon. Acad. Cancellarij: Ordinis Nobiliss: San-Geor­giani de Periscellide Equitis.

Maximo Principis omniumque bonorum moerore (cum 51. annos coelebs vixisset) 20. Novemb. anno. 1591. in aedibus suis Holburnae pie fato functi: ‘Guil. Hattonus Eques auratus eius ex sorore Nepos,
adoptione filius, ac Hoeres maestissimus,
Pietatis ergo
Posuit.’

On the other side are these verses following.

Quae vero, quae digna tuis virtutibus (Heros)
Constituent monumenta tui? si qualia debet
Posteritas, si quanta tibi prudentia, iusti
Quantus amor, si quanta fuit facundia Linguae,
Et decus, & pulchro veniens in corpore virtus,
Illa (que), munificae semper tibi copia dextrae,
Deni (que) quanta fuit magna tibi gratia quondam
Principis, Eque tuis quae creverat inclyta factis
Gloria, tanta tibi statuant Monumenta Nepotes,
Ipsa tuos caperet vix tota Britannia Manes.

Hard by his Tombe is fixed in the Pillar this Monument following.

Stay and behold the mirrour of a dead mans house,
Whose liuely person would haue made thee stay & wonder:
Looke & withall learne to know how to liue & die renowned:
For neuer can cleane life & famous Herses sunder.
Hatton lies here vnto whose name Hugh Lupus gaue,
Lupus the Silices sonne of William Conquerour,
For Nigell his cleare seruants sake worship and land:
Loe there the spring, looke here the honor of his Ancestry.
When Nature molded him, hir thoghts were most on Mars,
And all the Heauens to make him goodly were agreeing:
Thence was he valiant, actiue, strong, & passing comely,
And God did grace his mind & spirit with gifts excelling
Nature commends hir workmanship to Fortunes charge,
Fortune presents him to the Court and to the Queene:
Queene Eliz. (ô Gods deere handmayd) his most miracle,
Now hearken Reader, raritie not heard or seene.
This blessed Queene, Mirror of all that Albion rul'd,
Gaue fauour to his faith & precepts to his hopefull time:
First traind him in the stately band of Pentioners,
Behold how humble hearts make easie steps to clime.
High cariage, honest life, Heart ever loyall,
Diligence, delight in dutie, God doth reward:
So did this worthy Queene in hir iust thoughts of him,
And for her safetie make him Captaine of her Guard.
Now doth she prune this Vine and from her sacred breast
Lessons his life, makes wise his heart for hir great Counsels,
And so Vice-chamberlaine; where forrein Princes eyes:
Might well admire her choice, wherein she most excells.
So sweetly tempred was his soule with vertuous Balme,
Religious, iust to God and Caesar in each thing:
That he aspired to the highest subiects seat
Lord Chauncellor, (measure & conscience of a holy King.)
Robe, Coller, Garter, dead figures of great honour,
Almes-deeds with faith, honest in word, franke in dispence,
The Poores friend not popular, the Churches piller,
This Tombe shewes th' one, the Heauens shrine th' other.

THese are the Glories of a worthy prayse,
Which, noble Baskervile, here now are read:
In honour of thy life and latter daies,
To number thee among the blessed dead.
A pure regard to thy Immortall part:
A spotlesse Mind, a Body prone to paine;
A giuing Hand, and an vnvanquisht Heart:
And all these vertues voyd of all disdaine:
And all these vertues yet not so vnknowen,
But Netherlands, Seas, Indies, Spaine & France,
Can witnesse that these Honours were thine owne:
Which they reserue thy merit to aduance,
That Valour should not perish voyde of Fame,
Nor Noble deeds, but leaue a Noble Name.

Ralph Balduck Bishop of London founder of the said Chapell, vnder a flat stone anno 1313.

RObert Breybrooke Canon of Lichfield, Bishop of London, and made Lord Chancellour in the 6. of Richard the second: he sate Bishop 20. yeeres and deceased anno 1404. buried in the said Chapell.

IOhn Stokesley Bishop of London, anno 1539.

Betwixt our Lady Chapell and S. Dunstons Chapell, lieth buried

HEnry Lacy Earle of Lincolne vnder a faire anci­ent Monument, his picture in Armour crosse­legged, as one professed for defence of the Holy Land, against the Infidels: which monument by iniu­rie of time is foulely defaced.

Beneath the staires in the body of the Church with monuments aboue ground.

VNder a faire Monument lieth buried anno 1358. S r. Iohn Beauchamp, Constable of Douer, Warden of the Cinque-Ports, Knight of the Garter; Sonne of Guy Beauchamp, Earle of Warwicke, as appeareth by his Armes vpon his Tombe. He is by ignorant people abusiuely termed Humphrey Duke of Glocester, who indeed lieth honourably buried at S. Albans.

The Collector to the Reader.

IN memoriall of this deceased Nobleman, falsly ter­med Duke Humphrey, diuers men of late yeeres, and those no worse than Citizens and Tradesmen, for­sooth, on S. Andrewes day before Christmas after they haue met and foole-wisely in the morning come [Page] and presented themselues before his Monument, they haue had a feast prepared, and assumed vnto them­selues to haue offices vnder the said Duke Humphrey &c.

Secondly, on May-day, a certaine rude company of Tankerd-bearers haue vsed to come betimes in the morning, and there as idle as the others, haue presen­ted themselues before the same Monument, and strewen hearbes, and sprinkled water vpon it, terming themselues Duke Humphreyes seruants in seuerall offi­ces, &c. But I vnderstand that the now liuing Bell-ringers, who keep the Church doores, haue debarred both the one and the other for offering any idle cere­monie at the monument: telling them if they had any thing to doe at Duke Humfreys monument, they should goe to S. Albans, where indeed it is: and vnto them I referre you for a further relation of these va­nities.

But thirdly, there are another sort of sworne ser­uants and resident attendants on this deceased No­bleman, who doe daily giue their attendance, and offer their hungry deuotions vnto his shrine: and yow shall be sure to find some or other of them euery day throughout the yeere there waiting, betwixt the houres of twelue and one at noone: Of whom I haue no more to say, because I hold their punish­ment sufficient in gi­uing that atten­dance.

In the South side S r. Iohn Beauchamps Tombe, there is also an Inscription in brasse vpon that side of the Monument as followeth;

HIc jacet Dominus Richardus de Piriton, quon­dam Archidiaconus Colcestriae, Canonicus & stagiar. hujus Ecclesiae, qui obijt 26. die Augusti, anno Dom. 1387. cujus animae propicietur Deus. Amen.

Medicinae studiosis Oxoniae publicas lectiones duas, Cantabrigiae vnam in perpetuum stabiliuit: In [Page] hac Vrbe Collegium Medicorum fieri sua industria curavit, cujus & Praesidiens proximus electus est: fraudes dolosque mire perosus, fidus amicis, omnibus ordinibus juxta charus: aliquot annos antequā obieret Presbyter factus. Plenus annis ex hac vita migravit multum desideratus, Anno Dom. 1524. die 7. Octob.

Oh! then how soone to Beere are Captaines brought,
That now do liue, and die now with a Thought?
Then Captaines stay and read, still thinke on me,
For with a Thought, what I am, you may be.
As Mars neere Mors doth sound,
So Mors neere Mars is found.
