AN EPITAPH.
A sweet and godly Preacher doth lie here,Who did his Master Jesus love so dear,
And sinners Souls, that he his strength did spend.
And did thereby ('tis thought) hasten his end,
He brought himself by preaching to the Grave,
The precious souls of sinners for to save.
He lies but here asleep, he is not dead:
To God he lives, to Christ his soul is fled,
And o're while must he awake again,
And evermore with Christ in glory raign.
By B. K.
