Captain Nicholas Tettersel, through whose prudenee, ualour, and loyalty, Charles II., King of England, after he had escaped the sword of his merciless rebels, and his forces receiued a fatal ouerthrowe at Worcester, September 3rd, 1651, was faithfully preserued, and conueyed to France, departed this life the 26th of July, 1674. Within this marble monument doth lie Approved faith, honour, and loyalty; In this cold clay he has now ta’en up his station; Who once preserued the Church, the Crowne, and Nation; When Charles the Greate was nothing but a breath, This ualiant soule stept tweene him and Death: Usurpers’ threats, nor tyrant rebels’ frowne, Could not affright his duty to the crowne; Which glorious act of his, for church and state, Eight princes, in one day did gratulate— Professing all to him in debt to bee, As all the world are to his memory. Since Earth could not reward the worth him given, He now receives it from the King of Heaven. In the same chest one iewel more you have, The partner of his uirtues, bed, and grave. The special incident referred to in Tettersell’s life is recorded in another part of this book. One of the most remarkable tombs was that of the Rev. John Bolt, the vicar of Brighton, who died on the 2nd of November, 1669. It stood at the north-east corner of the Chancel. Not a vestige of the tomb now remains. The main structure of it was brick, and the covering stone was a slab of perriwinkle or Sussex marble: and so great a curiosity was it that it was in no way deemed a sacrilege by the casual passer-by, to knock off a piece with a flint, or even a hammer, for its novelty’s sake. Its final demolition took place in 1853, when that and other sacred depositories of the dead—and the remains of the dead too,—were ruthlessly removed to enlarge the church, upon its then restoration. The slab bore the following inscription:— Here lies interred the body of Mr. John Bolt, Master of Arts of Christ College, in Cambridge, aged seventy-eight years, who was a faithful and laborious preacher of the Gospel for the space of fifty-six years; whom God had blessed with _twenty-nine_ children by two wives. He died in full assurance of a glorious resurrection, on the 2nd day of November, 1669, and was buried the 7th, likewise of the same month; in the pious memory of whom, his sorrowful son, _Daniel Bolt_, hath erected this monument. Stay, passenger, and lett thoughts awhile; Contemplate Death; Sin curse, which doth beguile Us of our best enjoyments, and impair Whatever unto most men pleasant are. ’Tis not thy learning nor thy piety That can secure thee from Death’s tyranny. Witness this learned, pious man of God, Who fell a victim to his conquering rod. Nothing but Virtue can outlive our date That gives a being beyond mortal fate.
