All which portraitures and Armes, together with the Monument of the same Sir Edward Fer∣rers, and the Lady Constance his wife, situate in an Arch on the South side of this Chancell, were drawn by my self, and designed ready for the Gra∣ver, with great curiosity, to the intent that the beau∣ty of them, which is so subject to perish, by time and unhappy accidents, might have been represen∣ted to the world, in such sort as others are in this present work, for their lasting memorie: But so fru∣gall a person is the present heir of the Family, now residing here, as that, he refusing to contribute any thing towards the charge thereof, and it not being proper for me to undergo it totally, they are omitted.
The Epitaph upon that Monument of the before specified Sir Edward Ferrers Knight.
