I Am sorry, that, but now
beginning to speake of
Building, repairing, and
Beautifying of all the
Parish Churches in this
famous City of London,
I must in the very Front of the Alpha
bet (for that is the rule I goe by) speake
of the pulling downe, Demolishment,
and Ruines of a Church, and one of the
most ancient among them; Saint Al
banes in Woodstreet.

bet (for that is the rule I goe by) speake
of the pulling downe, Demolishment,
and Ruines of a Church, and one of the

This Church, being wonderfully
decayed and perished, was by these
Gentlemen, Sir Henry Spiller, Enigo
Iones, Esquire, Captaine Leake, and
Captaine Williams surveyed, to see
what repaire might helpe it. But by
these Gentlemen, and Workemen ap
pointed with them, it was found to be
too farre gone for Repaire; neither
would any Workeman put himselfe
into hazard upon it: affirming it to be
in every part of it, so spent, decayed,
and enfeebled, that they must sudden
ly plucke it downe, or it would sudden
ly prevent that labour, and fall to the
ground of it selfe: which the Fallings
every day encreasing (and more and
more growing and appearing) did most
evidently seeme to threaten.

For this cause, many of the Parish
oners refused to goe to it, many that
went, went unwillingly, but all with
much feare, where they sate with
more; their danger all the time much
troubling and disturbing their De
votion.

His first Wife was Martha, a Widow,
by whom he had one onely Sonne
deceased: his second Wife was
Anne Hasell, who left unto him one
Daughter and Heire, called Anna,
since married unto Edmond Wallers,
of Berkensfield in Buckinghamshiere,
Esquire. He gave by his last Will
and Testament (written with his
owne hand) to unbenificed Mini
sters; to decayed Housekeepers; to
the poore of many Parishes; to all
(or the most) of the Prisons, Bride
wells, and Hospitalls, in and about
London; to young Beginners to set
up their Trades; to the Artillery
Garden, and towards the mainte
nance thereof, for ever, very boun
tifully; to his owne Company, both
in Lands and Money; to his Friends,
in tokens of remembrance; to di
vers of his Kindred; and to other
charitable and pious uses, the summe
of 6000. li. notwithstanding Noble
and sufficient Dower to his Daugh
ter reserved. And all these severall
Legacies, by his carefull Executor
Robert Tichbourne, and his overseers,
punctually observed, and fully dis
charged.
Inbalm’d in pious Arts,
wrapt in a shroud
Of white in nocuous Charity,
who vow’d,
Having enough,
the world should understand
No deed of mercy
might escape his hand,
Bankes here is laid to sleepe,
this place did breed him,
A president to all
that shall succeed him.
Note both his life
and immitable end,
Know he th’unrighteous
Mammon made his Friend,
Expressing by his Talents
rich Increase,
Service that gain’d him praise
and lasting Peace.
Much was to him committed,
much he gave,
Entring his treasure there,
whence all shall have
Returne with use:
what to the poore is given,
Claimes a just promise
of Reward in Heaven:
Even such a Banke,
Bankes left behind at last,
Riches stor’d up, which
Age nor Time can waste.

That who lives longest
liveth but a span;
In yout and age all dye,
God hath so doom’d,
That Earth returnes to Earth

was compos’d,
Lies in his Mothers Center
here inclos’d,
A sheet doth hide his face,

not his good name:
For his good name outlives
(O blessed man)
When others good names dye
before they can.

hath more of that beauty still, and
still remaines fresher and fairer than
many other Churches, that halfe so
much time hath not wrought upon.
And yet, as I am informed (which is
more to the businesse in hand) It is
shortly againe to bee repaired, richly
and very worthily beautified.

Infant, sighed out in his dying sick
nesse, to his mournefull Parents.
Let not my Father greeve,
or Mother moane,
That I this wretched world
have soone forgone,
Better I dye
before I doe amisse,
Than live to sinne,
and be berest of blisse;
All I can now be charg’d with
at the Tribunall Throne,
Is sinne originall,
for actuall I have none:
And that I know
my Saviour with his blood
Hath washt away,
and made my badnesse good.
And cause I know (though
knowledge I have small)
That Iesus Christ did dye
to save us all,
I passe with joy, in Heaven
to meet my King,
With Angels and Archangels
there to sing.
Then Father mourne,
and Mother weepe no more,
I now dye rich, that might
have liv’d but poore;
For had I progrest
unto mans estate,
It is not certaine
what would be my sate:
Whether a Crosse, or
Blessing I should prove,
Or merit Parents
direfull hate, or love.
For oft you see, how youths
rebellious prankes
Make sonnes ingrate, to those
they owe most thankes:
And might not I have beene
amongst the number,
Of those that doe their
Parents states incumber?
Yes, yes, I might perhaps
have beene a slave,
And kil’d your hearts with care,
and dig’d your grave.
But now my silly Dove-like
soule doth part,
In peace of God,
and love of Parents heart;
Sweet Innocence, my shield,
I beare in hand,
To guard me towards
that most holy Land,
Where Parents both,
and Sister I shall see,
In
The Remaines.
In Gods appointed time

That she was buried here,

The Piety, and Vertues

Thou wouldst have said,
Why was she not enshri’nd?
Both Veres and Windsors
best blood fil’d her veines,
She matcht with Talbot,
yet their noble straines
Were farre below her Vertue,
in whose breast,
God had infus’d his graces
’bove the rest,
Of all her Sex, whose sacred
course of life,
Both in the State of Widow,
Maid, and Wife
For each she had beene,
though her latter dayes
Chaste widow-hood crown’d,
to her immortall praise,
Was so immaculate,

The Crystall mirrour

And for thy sacredst relique

To truest Masculines

For she by Nature, Grace,

In their best actions:
for she acted nought
That came not from a grave

But Nature (though familiar,
yet most strange,
Shewing how much
she doth delight in change,
In thousand fashions
doth her selfe array)
Permits nought heere
to stand at constant stay.
And Time and Death

Else had these Ashes still

But these just lines,
in Time and Deaths despight,
Shall leade all times

After his first comming into Eng

desired by the Earle of Lecester him

such worthy parts, as well in his

other laudable services, that her Ma

Where Death destroy’d
when he had power to save,
In that he did not seeke
to rob the Grave,
For where so e’re
a ruin’d Tombe he found,
His Pen hath built it

’Twixt Earth and Him

Shee hath to him,

Shee was his Mother,

Made her his Theme,
in a large worke compil’d
Of Funerall Reliques,
and brave Structures rear’d,
On such as seem’d unto her
most indear’d.
Alternately a Grave
to him she lent,
O’re which his Booke
remaines a Monument.

Former Student Contributors
We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
