Gentleman.	1677 (1677)	Wing C5608A; ESTC R224366	18,927	64

sent for which my Lord being struck to the heart with that sad Good morrow she had given him did not fail to do with all diligence as knowing too well how much it concerned him to preserve so great a treasure And though she had by my Lords care the constant attendance of two or three of the ablest Doctors then in Oxford London being at too great a distance and that they at the beginning seemed hopeful of her recovery and failed not in the application of all those Remedies their Art could suggest yet it pleased God to render their endeavours ineffectual for the violence of her sickness encreased so fast upon her that according to her own opinion who by his Divine permission had taken a righter measure of her own Infirmity then they had it proved the means of freeing her within a few days of all the cares that attend a transitory life Her pains were extream seasing her in the most sensible part the prime seat of life her heart and her patience was equal for she was never heard to complain of or lament her condition but whensoever she was asked concerning it her only answer was as it pleased God upon whom her heart was wholly fixed and in continuall applications of her self to him and in fervent prayers to implore his mercy and grace the whole time of her sickness was spent On the last day whereof being the feast of the Holy Innocents she received Extream Unction with admirable devotion being so present to her self as to answer exactly to the Lytanies and to reach out her own hands to be annointed The next day being the feast of St. Thomas of Canterbury that famous Martyr and Champion of the Church a day that was ever wont to be spent by her in a manner totally in devotion about six of the Clock in the morning just precisely at the conclusion of those devout prayers called the Recommendation of the soul used by the Catholick Church in the last Agonies of her children did this great Servant of God end this mortal life giving up her soul to him whom she ever loved served and obeyed with her whole heart as hath been I suppose sufficiently evidenced by many most remarkable and undeniable testimonies And I think I may without difficulty gain credit when I shall tell you how universal a consort of Lamentation there was in all that Family at the approach of her death when every one was considering how great a loss they were to undergoe not any but sensibly shared in this affliction seeing no children could have a more tender or careful Mother no servants a more Indulgent or charitable Mistress nor no Husband a more affectionate and obedient Wife After her Death it appeared evidently to those who had the ordering of her body for buriall that she had not only made a righter judgment of her danger then her Physitians but also of the quality of her Infirmity which shewed it self by the great evacuation of bloud at her mouth to have been an Imposthume she having several times some years before intimated that she conceived that there was one gathering about or near her heart where she felt her greatest torment She lived 36 years 2 months and 26 days and her Corps were with all convenient decency carried to Albrington in Shropshire a Town belonging to the now Earles of Shrewsbury and the usuall place of Sepulture of that branch of that family unto which that Earldome hath been descended these four last generations and there it was interred in a Church dedicated to God in honour of St. Thomas of Canterbury upon whose Feast she died and laid in the self-same Vault with that of the late most Learned and holy George Earl of Shrewsbury formerly mentioned whose virtues she did so effectually imitate She left behinde her 4 Sons and 3 Daughters having buried 2 Sons during her life to wit the Lord George Tallbot who died in his youthful age and inherited the heroicall spirit of his great Name but left no issue behinde him Francis the second Son Earl after his Father a Gentleman generally esteemed by all worthy persons and as much lamented by all such who hath left issue Charles the present hopeful Earl and one other Son and a Daughter the picture both in her face and humour of her Father Edward the third Son kill'd in the late Civill Wars in the service of his King at the Battle of York and Gilbert the fourth and youngest Son still living Her 3 Daughters were the Lady Frances the Lady Katherine and the Lady Mary all were most praise-worthy for their excellent dispositions and virtuous comportments the two first dyed in their young age without issue the Lady Mary is still living and hath issue one Son by her first husband the grandchild by the Fathers side of Thomas Lord Arundell of Wardour and Count Imperial and by the Mothers of the Lord Viscount Montacute and both Sons and Daughters by her second husband the brother and heir apparent of James Lord Studly and Earl of Castle-haven Gods holy Name be blessed for having given her the Grace to leade so holy a life and make so happy an end and may we by his grace and favour through the mercies of Christ profit by the example of her virtues FINIS
