Saint Mary Bow.
* 1.1Magnificus, sed iustificus, mis••ris et amicus,Vir speciosus, vir generosus, virque pudicus,Et peramabilis, et venerabilis, atque piarum.Vis, dux, lex, lampas, flos, Maior Londoniarum.In terre ventre iacet hic Iohn rite Couentre,Dictus; quem necuit, veluti decuit, lue plenus,Bis septingenus tricenus citra his et vnus;Martius in sole triceno si trahis vnumVirginis a partu carnis modo mortuus artu,Viuus erit celis tuba clanxerit vt Gabrielis. Amen.

He was Lord Maior of this Citie, An. 1425, a man much commended he is, in our English Chronicles for his discreet carriage, in the debate betwixt Humphrey Duke of Glocester, and Henry Beaufort that wealthy Bishop of Winchester.
* 1.3One William Copeland Church-warden, gaue the great Bell which is rung nightly at nine of the clocke, which had this inscription cast in the mettall, An. 1515.
