64 MEMOIR OF RAY. 



I 



Non Sanguine et Genere insignis, 



Sed quod majus, 



Propria Virtute Illustris. 



De Opibus Titulisque obtinendi 



Parum solicitus, 



Haec potius merer! voluit quam adipisci : 

 Dum sub Private Lare, sua Sorte contentus 



(Fortuna lautiori dignus) consenuit. 



In rebus aliis sibi modum facile imposuit, 



In Studiis nullum. 



Quid Plura ? 



Hisce omnibus, 



Pietatem minime fucatam adjunxit, 



Ecclesitz Anglicance 

 (Id quod supremo halitu confirmavit) 

 , Totus et ex Animo addictus. 



Sic bene latuit, bene vixit Yir beatus, 

 Quern Prcesens stas colit, Postera mirabitur. 



We are told by Sir James Edward Smith, that in 

 1737, the monument bearing the above inscription 

 having gone very much to decay, it was restored at 

 the charge of Dr. Legge, and removed for shelter 

 into the church. Forty years afterwards, the tomb 

 again underwent a repair by the care of the present 

 Sir Thomas Grey Callum and others,* who subjoined 

 a third inscription, as follows : 



* It has been again repaired by Mr. "Walker, the Rector 

 of Black Notley.
