was Barbarously Murdered upon ye Heath,
near Thetford, Sep. ye 13th, 1698.
Fifteen wide wounds this stone veils from thine eyes,
But Reader, Hark! their voice doth pierce the skyes.
Vengeance! cried Abel’s blood, ’gainst cursed Cain,
But better things spake Christ when He was Slayn
Both, both, cries Lewis ’gainst his bar’brous foe,
Blood, Lord, for Blood, but save his soul from woe.
Thou shalt do no murder (Exodus xx. 13).
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.
