of her progenitours was that learned and prudent Knight Sr. Richard Morisin a person whose great judgement and experience in the Civil affairs and matters of State and Government had gained him severall times the Honourable Employment of Ambassadour unto forreign Kingdomes and Princes which also he as faithfully discharged with as much honour and renown Her immediate Father was that most accomplished and generous person Sr. Charles Morisin One whose singular affability and hospitality made him generally beloved of his neighbours so that he was commonly called the Darling of his Countrey and wanted nothing but the opportunity of a longer life to have equalled him in honour to any of his predecessours This worthy person joyning himself afterward in mariage to the most virtuous and delicate Lady the Lady Mary Hicks second Daughter to the Lord Viscount Cambden was by her blest with the promises of a fair and goodly issue But so it pleased God all of them this onely excepted proved but tender Buds plucked off and gathered by death long before they came to ripen into maturity So that now they had but one onely child remaining and that a Daughter and yet could they not complain for want of children for in her alone they had the worth and value and I am sure the comfort and happinesse of many children Am not I more worth to thee then ten sons said Elkanah you know to his Wife Hannah 1 Sam. 1. 8. and if ever Parents might have said so of one single child They might of Her And now having Her onely remaining you cannot but imagine Her to be a very precious Iewell accordingly their great care was to have her well set with all the advantages of Honour and Lustre that could be This after she was grown up to an age and stature fit and proper for Mariage and onwards of her seaventeenth year made them greatly solicitous and inquisitive after a proper match for her and at last after much search and enquiry and refusalls of many by a most wise and excellent choice they happily found out one who if the whole Kingdome afforded any was indeed a fit and proper Husband for her And He a person not to be named without a preface of honour reverence The truly Noble Honourable Arthur Lord Capell late Baron of Hadham One who had he been cast upon better conditioned times might happily have lived much longer but hardly have either lived or died more honourably but the times were too base unworthie for his generous soul he could not endure to behold his Master a Looser and himself come off Saver nor hug his private securitie in the choice of an inglorious retirement when he beheld the King his Master exposed to the mercilesse fury of an armed multitude He saw the Arke and Israel and Iudah now in Tents and his pious soul did yearn in him to be after them and to share like fortunes with them And here indeed though otherwise the most affectionate Husband of any other yet he gave the world plainly to see that his zeal and love to his God and Countrey was far superiour to his affections towards his wife A wife indeed is ultimum relinquendum the last temporal comfort that is to be forsaken upon earth and you know how the command runs to this purpose Gen. 2. 24. Relinquet patrem matrem He shall leave father and mother and so also by like proportion brother and sister son and daughter friends and acquaintance agglutinabitur uxort and shall leave to his wife Howbeit when the dispute comes once to happen betwixt our zeal to the truth and cause of God and our affections towards a wife then in such a case Linquenda domus tellus placens uxor all must be forsaken yea a wife together with the rest and we must cleave unto the truth It is a notable saying of his own to this purpose which you have in his 102. observation and which gives you in little the true pourtraicture of his noble spirit I will obey my parents honour my superiours love my equals respect my inferiours Wife and children shall be dearer unto me then my self but none of all these nay nor all these shall be prized by me like truth These were those pious principles which first engaged him in our late unhappy warres Not the ambitious aims of honour and preferment not any covetous designs of gain and profit to enlarge and encrease his estate by this means oh no! his noble and generous soul was farre above these low and little projects as he was clear of it himself so he hated nothing with a more perfect hatred then he did a degenerous and mercenary Loyalty Accordingly he freely and willingly with the first offered himself to the help of the Lord against the mighty and it was the piety and sincerity of his conscience the justice and equity of the cause he engaged in which drew him into the battel and put the first sword into his hands and which though indeed in the end it proved fatal to his life here yet not so to his honour for by it he has gained a good report and his name is as ointment poured forth and smells sweet and fragrant to this very day and people do speak honourably of him and the eyes which never saw him do pay homage to his memory and he is blessed in the gates So that by the invincible courage and fortitude the active zeal and resolution of this incomparable Heroe the very name of Capell is become an entailed badge and Title of Honour and Loyalty upon that numerous family Unto this blessed Martyr was our most excellent Lady here the fruitfull mother of a plentifull issue a good part whereof are to this day happily living and surviving but some are not During the whole time of his life she was his most loving faithfull and obedient wife and when providence had made her his widow she then openly declared and manifested to the world how dearly she loved his person by her signal faithfulnesse to his commands I mean her exceeding care and tendernesse of his children those dear remains and pledges of his conjugal love And here her first and greatest care of all was for their education to water these tender plants with wholesome precepts and examples and to infuse early principles of piety and Religion into their minds She well knew of what great importance it is what liquour the vessel is first seasoned with neither could she think it the onely part and office of a mother to bring forth children to her husband Nay but according to the Apostles command Eph. 6. 4. to bring them up also in the nurture and admonition of the Lord And in this indeed she was most exact and punctual and we live to see the happy fruits and effects thereof now in their riper years For my own part I have had the honour to live for these eight years last past in that noble
