1 6 HISTORY OF NORTON. 



On a marble monument adjacent to the north wall of the 

 chancel : — 



Hie juxta situs est Wilhelmus Bullock de Norton in agio Derbiensi armig. 



Virtute, et ingenio prsecoci, prima statim juventute, 



In. coll. D. Johan. apud Cantabrig. electus est Socius. 



Belli autem Furore d musis mollioribus rapide divulsus, 



Regijs partibus contra rebelles cum primis se devovit, 



In quibus pertinaciter cum ultimis fortissimus stetit. 



Cum Ser mo - Car. 2 do - redeunt illi etiam res suae familiares, 



Diu in perduellium manibus sequestres, et misere attritse. 



Nee minus jam pace quam bello olim clarus et utilis, 



Deo scilicet, ecclesiae, et regi tenaci proposito ubiq fidelis, 



Quicquid, quasque postulet necessitudo, ad amussim perfecit. 



Charus maritus, indulgens ; pater ; dominus facilis ; 



Comes facundus, et gratus ; amicus certus et integer, 



Patrem secutus est filius unicus Domus spes ultima, 

 Johannes Bullock in Coll. D. Johan. Cantab'- noviter ascitus, 

 Variolis abreptus in ipso juventutis flore, cum jam spem daret, 

 Se Patrem vitag instituto, virtute, et moribus referre. 

 Vidua, utrinq. orba, et ipsa assiduo dolore pene confecta, 

 Hoc utrisq. et toti familise, hie simul sepulta?, posuit monimentum.
