By stealing steps of Time,
From Day, to Month and Year, My earthly Race is run,
My Body buried here. John Martin was my Name,
Of Haberdashers free, Two Wives, and Children four
The Lord hath lent to me. My Soul is now with God,
To whom my Corps shall come; And both shall Sentence have
From Christ, in day of Doom. When by his bloody Death,
Who is my Saviour just, I shall have Life for ay,
Among the Saints, I trust. Now of my Earthly end,
If thou the Day wilt know, The Month and Year, are all
Expressed here below.

Here you may see John Jackson hee,
By Death layd in his Bower; He dy'd in June Twenty and one
Five thousand eighty four. Whom God in Health endu'd with Wealth,
And Treasure: He hath been To Infants poor, to save them store,
That kept are here within. When he did dye, then Deputy
Unto the Alderman, To end the Brawl of great and small,
As testify we can. His Will can tell he lived well,
To feed the Poor with Meat: His Gifts therein so large hath been,
And Legacies so great. His zealous Heart did never start
from preaching of the Word, Till from this Bell he went to dwell
In Glory with the Lord. Where he in Bliss, undoubted is,
A just Reward of Faith, To all that grieve, and do believe,
As Holy Scripture saith.
