Inscription.

MARGARET SMITH's Monument

Here lies the bones of one who, while she liv'd,

Was glory of her sex; for piety excell'd;

Such was her death: but thou, O Lord, hast her reliev*d

From th' effects of sin, and tane her to thyself,

In scarce midst of her age to his most glorious rest.

God takes them soonest whom he loveth best.

Margaret Smith departed 7 March 1666. And of her age 29 years.
