another of Edward Clinton , Earl of Lincoln , and 
Lord Admiral in Queen Elizabeths Reign, dreffed 
with a Cap and Feather, a ftriped Jacket, fmali But- 
tons, and a Ruff. 
Thefc feveral Confiderations induce me to think, 
that this Sculpture was made in the fixteenth Cen- 
tury, and probably not before the Reign of Queen 
Elizabeth , confidering the Largenefs of the Ruffs, 
and fome other Circumftances already mentioned, 
which feem not to fuit with more early Times. And 
from thence I would conclude, that the Figure omitted 
in the Date muft have been a Decimal. Some Fi-

the Place of Thoufands, might eafily have been fup- 
plied, tho the Sculpture is in Relief, by fixing in a 
fmali Piece of Stone in the Form of that Figure. 
And that this Miftake was owing to the Workman 
may be prefumed from hence, that the Word yon is 
likewife omitted in the Sentence below.

imperfedt Remains of an Infcription, befides the Date. 
[See Tab. I. Fig. 4.) Two Copies of it have been 
tranfmitted hither, one of which being taken by lay- 
ing a clean Sheet of white Paper over the Stone, and 
tracing out the whole Infcription with a Blacklead 
Pencil, muft therefore be the more exaft. But fo 
fmali a Fragment only of the Stone has been pre- 
ferved, that no certain Judgement can thence be 
made of the Whole > and not one perfect Word re-
