In God is my whole trust. J.O. 1591.

If all great Cities     
prosperously confess,
That he, by whom     
their Traffick doth increase,
Deserves well of them,

Of these two, who     
were Brothers both by Birth,
And Office, prove,     
that they have thankful bin,
For th'Honours which     
this City plac'd them in.
And dying old,     
they by a blest consent
This Legacy bequeath'd,     
their Monument.
The happy summ and end     
of their Affairs,
Provided well both     
for their Souls and Heirs.
