"Good Christeyn People of your Charite
That here abide in this transitorye life,
For the souls of Richard Philips pray ye,
And also of Anne his dere beloved wife,
Which here togeder continued without stryfe
In this Worshipful City called Hereford by Name,
He being 7 times Mayer and Ruler of the same:
Further, to declare of his port and fame,
His pitie and compassion of them that were in woe,
To do works of charitie his hands were nothing lame,
