Inscribed with marginal inscription in upper case lettering and verse in central

The body that heere buried lyes
By lightning fell, deaths sacrifice
To Him Elijah's fate was given
He rode on flames of fire to Heaven
Then mourn no more Hees taken hence
By the just hand of Providence.
O God the Judgements of thy feat
Are wonderous good & wonderous great
Thy ways in all thy works appear
As thunder loud, as lightning clear.
