<c Lamb of Chriif, as a Sacrifice on the Altar. All 
t£ the affiftant Minifters were beheaded likewile, 
fays he. 
The two on our Shrine are Frier Elfget the Dea- 
con, and Frier Savin the Subdeacon 
Some Days after, when the Monks that fled re- 
turned, they found the Body of the venerable Abbot 
Theodore beheaded at the Altar. 
Above is reprefented his Succefl'or Abbot Godric, 
with the Minifters about him, putting the deceafcd 
Abbot into his Shroud 5 whilft Angels are carrying 
his Soul up to Heaven. 
I fuppofe fomc Part of this Martyr might be ob- 
tained, and kept in this Shmie. 
I obferve the famous old fcpulcral Stone in Pe- 
terborough Minfter-Yard, is exactly of the fame Shape 
as our Shrine. It was fet up over the Grave of the 
Abbot and Monks murder’d by the fame Danes, the 
Day after thole of Croy land- Abbey fuft'er'd, Sept. 26. 
It is carv’d on the Sides with the Images of our 
Saviour and the Apoftles. It is now remov’d into 
the Library.
