Hark from the Tomb a doleful
Sound my Ears attend the Cry
ye living men come view
the Ground
where you must shortly lie Princes this Clay must be your
Bed in Spite of all your Powers
The tall, the wiƒe, the
Rev,rend Head
must lie as low as ours.
The Remains of JohnWhitman Esquire are here
Depoƒited He deƒcended of an ancient &
venerable Family at Hull Where he was born
in the year 1688 & died at Stow where he
had reƒided near seventy years, on the 3d
Day of august AD 1772 his meekneƒs & piety
towards God and his Benevalence and Hospitality
towards men made him beloved
whilst living & lamented at his Death
The ƒweet remembrance of the Just
ƒhall flourish when they sleep in Dust.
Why should we tremble to
convay Their bodies to the tomb
There the dear Flesh of
Jeƒus lay
And left aƒweet Perfume Thence he aroƒe aƒcended
high And Shew,d our feet
the way up to the Lord our
Flesh ƒhall fly
at the Great riƒing Day
The Graves of all his Saints
he bleƒs,d And Softned every
bed where should the
dying members rest
But with the dying Head Then let the last loud Trumpet
ƒound; and bid our Kindred
riƒe awake ye Nations
under ground
ye Saints aƒcend the skies
Hear what the voice from
Hev n proclaims. For all the
pious dead Sweet is the
Saviour of their Names.
and Soft their sleeping bed. then die in Jeƒus & are bleƒt
How kind their Slumbers
Are from sufferings
And from sens ( sic) released
And freed from every s(?)re
Far from the world of Toil & Strife
They're presentƒ with the Lord
The Labours of their mortal life
End in a large Reward.
