Which writing I haue here recorded, for that in viewing the same, I saw some of the letters defaced and vtterlie made awaie: which in time might likewise befall to the re|sidue, and so the memorie of the gentleman there fixed to so good an end vanish and die. He also of a godlie motion builded a conuenient roome in Pauls churchyard, on the southside of the crosse, to receiue a certeine number of hearers at the sermon time: as may appeare by some remembrances of his name there fixed. Howbeit,The death of sir Thomas Ro knight and lord maior of London. this gentleman thus well disposed, and like inough to haue procéeded in more such godlie actions, was called out of this life the next yeare immediatlie following, forgoing all the pompe of this life, with no lesse good will, than he was forward by death to passe to eternall rest. His bodie was buried in Hacknie church, in the southside of the chancell, where (besides a monu|ment of himselfe and his wife) this epitaph remai|neth to be read in faire great letters, as followeth:

An. 1570. Septemb. 2.

Sir Thomas Ro lieth buried heare, The epitaph of sir Thomas Ro, wherein his issue male and female is conteined.

Of London knight and alderman,

Who late was maior and rule did beare,

To right the cause of euerie man:

A merchant venturer was he,

Of merchant tailors companie:

A citizen by birth also,

And eke his wife dame Marie Ro.

In wedlocke one and thirtie yeare,

They did continue man and wife,

Eleuen children she did beare,

But fiue of them haue left this life:

And six aliue doo yet remaine,

Foure of them sons and daughters twaine;

His soule with God we hope is blest,

And dooth remaine in Abrams brest.]
