Quæ sicut à viro sancto prædicta erant evenerunt: Nam Ethelredus variis præliis per Suanum Danorum Regem, filiumq; suum Canutum fatigatus & fugatus, ac tandem Londini arcta obsidione conclusus, miserè diem obiit, Anno Dominicæ Incarnationis, 1017. postquam Annis 36. in magna tribulatione regnasset.]

William Norman, Bishop of London, in the Reigns of Edward the Confessor, and William the Conqueror, deceased Anno 1070. and is buried in the West Ile, with an Epitaph (or Memory) as in my Summary I have shewed; viz.

Gulielmo, viro sapientia & vitæ sanctitate claro, qui primùm Edwardo Regi & Confessori familiaris, nuper in Episcopum Londinensem erectus; nec multò pòst apud invictissimum Principem Gulielmum Angliæ Regem ejus nominis primum; Ob prudentiam, fidemq; singularem, in Concilium adhibitus; Amplissima tunc urbi celeberrimæ privilegia ab eodem impetravit: Senatus populusq; Londinensis bene merenti posuit. Sedit Episcopus Annos 20. Deccesit Anno à Christo nato, 1070.

Hæc tibi (clare Pater)     
posuerunt Marmora Cives,
Præmia non meritis     
æquiparanda tuis.
Namq; sibi populus     
te Londinensis amicum
Sensit, & huic urbi     
non leve præsidium.
Reddita libertas duce     
te; donataq; multis,
Te duce, Res fuerat     
publica muneribus.
Divitias, genus, & formam     
brevis opprimat hora,
Hæc tua sed pietas     
& benefacta manent.

To William, a Man famous in Wisedome and Holinesse of Life; who first with S. Edward the King and Confessor being familiar, of late preferred to be Bishop of London, and not long after (for his prudencie and sincere fidelity) admitted to be of Councell with the most victorious Prince, William, King of England, of that Name the first. Who obtained of the same, great and large Privileges to this famous Citie. The Senate and Citizens of London, to him, having well deserved, have made this. Hee continued Bishop twenty yeeres, and dyed in the yeere after Christ's Nativity, 1070.

These Marble Monuments to Thee     
Thy Citizens assigne,
Rewards (O Father) far unfit     
To those Deserts of thine.
Thee unto them a faithfull Friend     
Thy London People found;
And to this Towne, of no small weight,     
A Stay both sure and sound.
Their Liberties restor'd to them,     
by meanes of Thee have beene,
Their Publike Weale by meanes of Thee,     
Large Gifts have felt and found.
Thy Riches, Stocke, and Beauty brave,     
One Houre hath them supprest:
Yet these thy Vertues and good Deeds,     
with us, (for ever) rest.

The Lord Maior of London, and the Aldermen his Brethren, upon their solemn Days of their resort to Pauls, have long time used to walk to the Grave stone, where this Bishop lieth buried; in remembrance of their fomer Privileges by him obtained.

And now of late Years, there is an Inscription fastened to that Pillar which is next his Grave, termed, The Revival of a most worthy Prelates Remembrance. There erected at the sole Cost and Charges of the right honourable and worthily affected, Sir Edward Barkham, Kt. Lord Maior of the City of London, Anno 1622. speaking thus to the Walkers in Pauls.

Walkers, whosoere ye be,
If it prove you chance to see
Upon a solemn Scarlet Day,
The Citie Senate passe this way,
Their gratefull Memory for to show
Which they the Reverend Ashes owe
Of Bishop Norman, here inhum'd.
By whom this Citie hath assum'd
Large Privileges: Those obtain'd
By him, when Conquerour William raign'd.
This being by thankfull Barkham's Mind renu'd,
Call it The Monument of Gratitude.]
