Is Worthy Mollineux now faln asleep, In true Contentedness, and Silence deep? Her noble, blessed Soul yet lives above, I'th Everlasting Bliss, i'th' Father's Love; Where she doth rest, whilst we our selves bemoan Our Loss of her, in Vertue so well know. And still her Memory remains alive I'th' Hearts of all her Friends, which do survive; Who knew her vertuous Mind, Life, Words and Way, That from her tender Youth, she did not stray From Wisdom's Voice and Dictates in her Heart, Whereby she was enabled to impart Some Fruits thereof, while she was very young, To such as saw to what it did belong: The tender Noble Seed of Grace and Truth Did freely spring, when she was in her Youth; And grew in her, as she increas'd in Years, Bringing forth Fruit, as by her Book appears: Of which, a Testimony rests behind, As they that read her Lines may fully find. She did not strive, nor glory, to appear In Gifts or Parts, but still to live in Fear; Whence Wisdom's known to have a true Beginning, And in the same she made a faithful Ending.
