EPITAPH ON JOSIAH FLINT

A man of God he was, so great, so good,
His highest worth was hardly understood
So much of God & Christ in him did dwell.
In grace & holyness he did excell.
An honor & an ornament thereby
Both to ye Church and ye Ministry.
Most zealous in ye work of reformation
To save this selfdestroying generation
With courage strove gainst all this peoples sin
He spent his strength his life his soul therein
Consumd with holy zeal for God for Whome
He livd & dy.d a kind of martyrdome
If men will not lament their hearts not breake
No wonder this lamenting stone doth speake
His tomb stone crys Repent & souls to save
Doth prach repentance from his very grave
Gainst sinners doth as lasting record lye
This monument to his blesd memory.

Psal IIX Prov. 10. 7.
