Uploader's Comments

In the hope of a blessed resurrection, here the body (for merly the abode of a most holy mind) of a young wife shall return to dust, Mary, the wife of Moses Tryon, of Harringworth, in the county of Northampton, the eldest daughter of William Basset, esq. While she lived, a dear wife; having brought forth one infant, she returned her soul to her Creator calmly, and with great faith in Christ. This lasting monument of his grief, and in memory of his love for her precious dust, her husband has erected; The mother went before, May 13, the infant followed, May 23, 1628; 'Ye shall hasten to heaven together'.
