Halt passenger, take heed, what do
you see -
This tomb doth show for what some
men did die;
Here lies interr'd the dust of those
who stood
'Gainst perjury, resisting unto
blood;
Adhering to the covenants and laws
Establishing the same; which
was the cause
Their lives were sacrific'd unto the
lust
Of Prelatists abjur'd; through
here their dust
Lies mixt with murderers and the
other crew
Whom justice justly did to death
pursue
But as for them no cause was to be
found
Worthy of death; but
only they were found
Constant and steadfast, zealous,
witnessing
For the prerogatives of Christ their
King;
Which truths were sealed by famous
Guthrie's head
And all along to Mr Renwick's blood:
They did endure the wrath of
enemies:
Reproaches, torments, deaths, and
injuries
But yet they're those from whom such
trouble came,
And now triumph in glory with the
Lamb. |
