(Then abfent on an Embaffy in France)
Was One.

About the Middle of the Reign of EDWARD the 6th,
He was made

One of the Principal Secretary's of State; Which Poft he might have held much longer than he did, But that both himself, and all his Friends, Earneftly begg'd leave for him to lay it down. He was Slender and Low in Stature, But Strait and well-shaped,

His Conftitution firm, his Countenance free, and easy,
His Choice of Diet exquifite,

Which he never took above once a Day.
His Habit of Body fo ftrong,

That he feldom was shocked by any Disease.
His Mind was wholly devoted to Books, and Learning,
Intent on the Studies of Arts,
Phyfic, Laws, and Divinity;

And beautifully stor'd, with the Knowledge of the
Roman, Italian, French, and Dutch Languages.
Thus this Man, who was famous by Birth,
But most famous by his honourable Embassies,
And most of all

By his Employments Foreign and Domestic ;
Flourishing in Honours,

Worn out with Toils,

Wafted with Age,

After he had been Dean of this Church

Twenty-five Years and 293 Days,

Piously and fweetly refigned his Soul to God, in
London, January 26, Anno 1566.
Leaving for his Heir,

THOMAS

THOMAS WOTTON, his Nephew:

Who has erected this Monument to him,
Not to do him Honour, for that he enjoy'd while living,
And will inherit after Death;

But out of true Love, and unfeigned Reverence
To his Immortal Memory.

In the 68th Year of his Life, died in the Lord

In the Year of CHRIST 1579.

For

And the best of Patrons,

As the laft Office he was able to pay him.
Not to preserve his Memory,

(For that his many Virtues have made Immortal)
But his Body,

Committed to the Ground in Hopes of a joyful
Refurrection,
