[377]I know not how to retreive the fashion or shape of the old engine of the _battering-ramme_, but from the coate of the Bertyes, which is 'or, 3 battering rammes barrewise,' as in the margent, the timber is proper, the head azure, the hornes and ironworke gilded.

[381]Sir Henry Billingsley[AQ], knight.--On the north side of the chancell of St. Katharine Coleman church London at the upper end is this inscription, viz:--
Here lieth buried the body of Elizabeth, late the wife of Henry Billingsley, one of the Queene's majestie's customers of her port of London, who dyed the 29th day of July in the yeare of our Lord God 1577.
Stat sua cuique dies atque ultima funeris hora Cum Deus hinc et mors invidiosa vocant; Nec tibi nec pietas tua vel forma, Elizabetha, Praesidium leto[382] ne trahereris erat. Occidis exactis ternis cum conjuge lustris, At septem vitae lustra fuere tuae. Fecerat et proles jam te numerosa parentem, Filiolae trinae, caetera turba mares. Undecimo partu cum mors accessit et una Matrem te et partum sustulit undecimum-- Scilicet ex mundo, terrena ex fece, malisque, Sustulit; at superis reddidit atque Deo. Est testis sincera fides, testis tua virtus, Grata viro virtus, grata fidesque Deo. * * * * * Quem posuit tumulum tibi conjux charus, eodem In tumulo condi mortuus ipse petit.
