prosperously confess,
That he, by whom

Deserves well of them,

Of these two, who

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.
