II.
This is to the memory of his son Dudley, who married Miss
Cole, of Denbigh:—
"Sub hoc marmore requiescit in pace Dudleus Digges, armiger, Susannæ
Digges juxta depositæ maritus amantissimus. Vir et virtute, et pro sapientia,
vere inclytus, qui hujusce Coloniæ primo Consilioris, dein ad Auditoris
dignitatem, erectus est. Obiit, omnibus desideratus, 27 Januarii,
1710, ætatis suæ 47. Justorum animæ in manu Dei sunt."
Which is thus rendered:—
"Under this marble rests in peace Dudley Digges, gentleman, the most
loving husband of Susannah Digges, buried near him. He was a man
very eminent for virtue and wisdom, who was first raised to the dignity
of Councillor and then Auditor of this Colony. He died, lamented by
all, the 27th of January, 1710, in his forty-seventh year. `The souls of
the righteous are in the hand of God.' "
