A Grave Stone in the Chancel at the Steps to the Altar, covering the Body of
Captain
JOSIAS CROWE. Whose Example is worthy the Notice of Posterity. As he was a
gallant and brave Commander, so he was no less a meek and humble Christian, and
a
sincere good Man; truly pious toward God, and generous and beneficent to Men.
He
was a publick Benefactor to this Holy Place, a Friend to the Helpless, a tender
Father,
and a careful Husband. And as he lived so he dyed, in a certain Hope of the
Resurrection of the Just. Let us follow him in his Life, as we must do to the
Grave.
