448 Insc1iptions on the Monument qf Col~nel Htttchinson, AT OWTHORPE, IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. (Supposed by Mrs. HuTCHINSON.) Quousque Domine ! In a vault under this wall lieth the body of JOHN 1-IUTCHINSON, Of Owthorpc, in the county of Nottingham, Esq. E ldest sonne and beire of Sr. Thomas 1-lutchinson by his first wife, the Lady Margaret, daughter of Sr. John Biron, of Newsted, in the sayd county. This monument cloth not commemorate · Vaine ayrie glorious titles, birth, and state; But sacred is to free, illustrious grace, Conducting happily a mortal"s race; To end in triumph over death and hell, When, like the prophet's cloake, the fraile flesh fell, Forsaken as a dull impediment, Whilst love's swift fiery chariot climb'd th' ascent. Nor are the reliques lost, but only torn, To be new made, and in more lustre worn. Full of this ioy he mounted, he lay downe, Threw off his ashes, and tooke up his crowne. Those who lost all their splendor in his grave, Ev'n there yet no inglorious period have.
