The EPITAPH.

Here a poor Minister of Christ doth lie,
Who did INDEED a Bishoprick deny.
When his Lord comes, then, then the World shall see
Such humble Ones, the rising-Men shall be.
How many Saints whom he had sent before,
Shouted to see him enter Heavens door:
There his blest Soul beholds the face of God,
While we below groan out our Ichabod.
Under his burned-Church his Body lies,
But shall it self a glorious Temple rise:
May his kind flock when a new Church they make,
Call it St. Edmundsbury for his sake.

R. W.
