EPITAPH. Here lies Sir THOMAS POWYS, Knight: In accufing, cautious; in defending, vehement; Nothing equaled his knowledge, except his eloquence; He poffeffed, by a natural happiness, All thofe civil virtues which form the gentleman : He was a loving husband and an indulgent father, What by example he taught throughout his life, At his death he recommended to his family and friends : "To fear God, and live uprightly." Let whoever reads this stone, Be wife, and be inftructed. CONTENTS CONTENTS OF THE SECOND VOLUME. To the Right Honourable Mr. Harley, Page 1 To Mr. Harley, wounded by Guiscard, 1711.
