Gradum Academicum, quern abunde meruit, 



Differre cogeretur. 



Egregiam hanc Adolescentiae solertiam. 



Pari profectu ad Senectutem usque praestitit. 



Et quamprimum per aetatem licuit, 



Ecclesiae Winburnensi, loco natalitio. 



summo cum Populi Desiderio praeficiebatur. 



Gliscente jam bello civili, Perduellium injurijs opportunus, 



In exercitum regium se recepit. 



Ubi, per multos Labores, Damna, et Pericula, 



Officio suo strenue functus est. 



Succumbente tandem Causa optima, exteras Regiones, 



Insigni Prudentiae et Doctrinae compendio, peregravit. 



Post felicem Caroli 2di. reditum, Winiburnae suae restitutus est. 



De amplioribus minime solicitus. 



Dein, aetate morbisque ingravescentibus, Oxoniam remigrans. 



Requiem qualem qualem in Nov. Hospit. Aulae praefectura quaesivit.
