James Smith's Monument.
This Stone covers the dead and lifeless Body of James
Smith Merchant at Dundee; who, amidst the Pollutions of
this declining World, was a most noble Pattern to his Fellow
Citizens, of all Duty, divine, humane and civil : And who
equally studied the Benefit of others as his own. He died
in 1640.
Having lived, to the 50th Year of his Age, in good Repu-
tation, among Men, he removed into Heaven ; leaving on
Earth his most faithful and most pious Wife Elisabeth Wright,
with two Sons and one Daughter, very hopeful, yet alive.
Being buried he loudly cries to all who look upon this Grave-
stone, While time is, live to the Lord; that ye may live happy
with him to Eternity.
Here also lies his most beloved Spouse the said Elizabeth
Wright ; who, after she had lived a Widow, near 33. Years,
in Wptchings, Fastings, Prayers, Almsgivings and other
Christian Duties (not without several Afflictions of this Life)
she cheerfully resigned her Soul to her Redeemer in 1673.
Of her Age 71.
Jonet Mudie" s Monument.
Here lies a most chaste Virgin Jonet Mudie, only Daugh-
ter to James Mudie, sometime Baillie of the City of Dundee ;
who, ushering her Father in the Path of Death, died in 1612.
Of her Age 15. The whole Life of Man is a Passage to
Death ; and Death it self is a Passage to Life.
All Things depend on Fates; all, in their Turns,
Sooner or later, hasten to their Urnes.
John M i Leans Monument.
Here rests, in the Lord, John McLean Merchant in Dun-
dee, who departed this Life 10. January. 1696. His Age 75.
And his Spouse Agnes Froster, with several of their Children,,
One Grave two Bodies doth containe j
■ ■In Heav'n their Souls remaine
Heads of an honest Family,
Who lived well, dy'd happily :
Their Fame will never be forgot;
Though Bodies in the Grave do rot :
Reader, tho' little be set forth,
Blame thou my Pen, and not their Worth,
