Sacred to the Memory of Mr. Samuel Marshal, who was a bright Scholar to the excellent Dr. Blow; an admired, useful, and sedulous Ornament to the Choir of St. Paul's; above 11 Years the exquisite Organist of this Church, and Master to other good Organists.

His very artful, solemn, and moving Compositions and Perfomances, for and in the Service of God, &c. tho' through his Humility disregarded by himself, have deservedly raised him a great Name and Esteem among the best and most impartial Judges of them.

He was very unaffectedly charitable, generous, faithful, sincere, neat and amiable, but suffered much by over Credulity, Excess of Modesty, and Good Nature, and by false Reports.

But before his last languishing Illness, occasioned by Grief, he regained that Spirit of Piety, for which he had been early distinguished, and so ended his Life, as has caused Joy in Heaven.

As he was fervently praying for Blessings on us all, and just had said Amen, [the last Word he ever spoke] he sweetly and gladly died in the Lord, March 11. 1713/14. æ. S. 27.

His Body lies interr'd under this Organ, facing the middle Ile, expecting a glorious Resurrection to endless Bliss. B. Prat A.M. amicus mœrens. H.M.P.C.

In this Church likewise is interr'd Joanna, Wife of John Sayer, Merchant.
