Here lieth the body of Ann Sellars, buried by this stone,
Who dyed on January 15th day, 1731.
Likewise here lies dear Isaac Sellars, my Husband and my Right,
Who was buried on that same day come seven years, 1738.
In seven years time there comes a change! observe, and here you’ll see
On that same day come seven years, my husband’s laid by me.

On John Green.
If true devotion or tryde honesty
Could have for him got long lives liberty,
Nere had he withered but still growne Green,
Nor dyed but to ye Poor still helping been.
But he is tane from us yet this we comfort have,
Heaven hath his Soule still (Green) though body is wasting Grave,
In progeniêm filii defunctam adjacentam.

Live well then, fear not all must dy.

For he can never come back again to we.
NETTLEBED.
Both young and old that passeth by,
Remember well that here lies I,
Then think on Death, for soon too true,
Alas twill be that here lies you.
