Right tablet
Martha's checkt for neglect of Christ's pure world Mary for her love
thereto's on record This my deare Mary had noe less regard unto the
sacred words of God's Herauld Another Anna I may truly say for her
fastings & prayers night & day Ciconia like the linger that she
liv'd The sweeter breath & more spiritulized not spiderlike figuring
vanity but like the silkeworme seekeing verity This pious matron stood
upon her guard Resisting him whome else wold her have marr'd
Theise
verses were made by John Jermy, Esq, in memory of his wife a little before his
death.
