"Days; viz. On the Eve, on the Day, and on the Morrow of St. Batholomew the Apostle; with all Liberties and free Customs, belonging to the Fair; a Contention hath arisen between the said Prior, and you the said Custos, who sue for Us, concerning the Use of the Liberties of the said Fair, and the free Customs belonging to it. And hindrance being made to the said Prior, by you, the said Custos, as the same Prior asserteth; to wit, concerning a Moyety of the said Eve, and of the whole Morrow, beforesaid. Concerning which, We will, as well for Us, as for the foresaid Prior, that Justice be done as it is fit, before our Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer, from the Day of St. Mechael next, for one Month. We command you, that sufficient Security be taken of the said Prior, of restoring to Us the said Day, the Issues of the foresaid Fair, coming from the Moyety of the foresaid Eve, and of the whole Morrow, if the said Prior cannot then shew something for himself, why the said Issues ought not to belong to Us. We command you, that ye permit the same Prior, in the mean time, to receive the foresaid Issues, in Form aforesaid. And you may have there this Brief. Witness my Self at Dunelm, the 9th day of August, in the 20th of our Reign.]"

Memor esto, quoniam mors non tardat, & testamentum inferorum, quia demonstratum est tibi: Testamentum enim hujus mundi, Morte morieris.

Omnia suo proveniunt tempore, atq; transeunt. Ante mortem, ne laudes hominem quenquam, quoniam in filiis suis agnoscitur vir.

A Monument in the North Ile, in the Chancel, with this Inscription.

Sacred to the Memory of that Worthy and Learned Francis Anthony, Doctor of Physick.

There needs no Verse     
to beautifye thy Praise,
Or keep in memory     
thy spotless Name,
Religion, Vertue,     
and thy Skill, did raise
a threefold Pillar     
to thy lasting Fame.
Though poysonous Envy     
ever sought to blame,
Or hide the Fruits     
of thy Intention;
Yet shall all they     
commend that high Designe,
Of purest Gold     
to make a Medecine,
That feele thy helpe     
by that thy rare Invention.

He died the 26th of May, 1623. his Age 74.

His loving Sonne, John Anthony, Doctor in Physicke, left this Remembrance of his Sorrow.
