Hewitt, Thomas

In Latin: Glory be to God alone; THOMAS HEWITT, A most miserable Sinner, buried underneath, Recalling to Mind the Instability and Frailty of human Life, And the Certainty of Death creeping upon him (Being desirous that his Remains should be deposited in the subjacent Sepulchre , when it seems good to God, the greatest and best of Beings) Did, in his Life, prepare this Marble Table, To be erected in this Place after his Death, Who waiting for a happy Resurrection, Thro' the sole Merits of Christ his Saviour, Breath'd out his immortal Soul on the last Day of January, In the Year of our only Mediator 1737, and of his Age 74. You know not at what Hour, Therefore repent Today, And be saved for ever. T. H. was born the 19th Day of July, 1664. Learn to die, - That you may live. [Translation from "A Brief Description of the Collegiate Church and Choir of St. Mary's (Warwick, 1819).]
