To Gods Glory. IN PIOVS MEMORY OF the nobly vertuous and religious Matrone, Margarite, Wife of Robert Hill, Dr. of Divinity, and Pastor of this Parish.

Heer lies a Margarite, that the most excell'd,
(Her Father Wyts, her Mother Lichterveld,
Rematcht with Metkerk) of remark for birth,
But much more gentle for her genuine worth:
Wyts (rarest) Iewell (so her name bespeaks)
Vertues bright Load-starre, to enlight her Sex
In pious, prudent, peace-full, praise-full life,
Fitting a SARA, and a Sacred's Wife,
Such as SARAVIA, and (her second) HIL,
Whose ioy of life, Death in her Death did kill.
Quàm piè Obijt, Puerpera, Salutis, 1615 Die 29, Iunij, Anno Ætatis, 39.
