^'Our blessed Saviour chose the Garden for his 

 Oratory, and dying, for the place of his Sepulchre ; 

 and we do avouch for many weighty causes, that 

 there are none more fit to bury our dead in than in 

 our Gardens and Groves, where our Beds may be 

 decked with verdant and fragrant flowers, Trees and 

 Perennial Plants, the most natural and instructive 

 Hieroglyphics of our expected Resurrection and Im- 

 mortality." 



— John Evelyn.
