On the same wall is newly fixed a small square table monument 
of white marble, inscribed in the following manner : 
Sacred to the memory 
of the Rev? ANDREW ETTY, B.D. 
23 Years Vicar of this parish: 
In whose character 
The conjugal, the parental, and the sacerdotal virtzes 
were so happily combined 
as to deserve the imitation of mankind. 
And if in any particular he followed more invariably 
the steps of his blessed Master, 
It was in his humility. 
His parishioners, 
especially the sick and necessitous, 
as long as any traces of his memory shall remain, 
must lament his death. 
To perpetuate such an example, this stone is erected; 
as while living he was a preacher of righteousness, 
so, by it, he being dead yet speaketh. 
He died April 8, 1784, aged 66 years.
