Fulham.

Another Monument near to this last, with this Inscription on it.

At Earth in Cornwall was my first Beginning,     
From Bonds and Corringtons, as it may appear:
Now to Earth in Fulham, God disposed my Ending,     
In March the thousand and six hundred Year
Of Christ, in whom my Body here doth rest,
Till both in Body and Soul I shall be fully blest.
