The body of him who lies here was not of humble birth and lived with rank and in great state, but the example he set was greater: having filled two Bishoprics he was at length promoted to be Archbishop, having attained these honours at a high price with his virtues and deserts.

He was a man above all men free from malice and vindictiveness, open and free of flattery, very liberal and compassionate, most hospitable, easy-going and proud, without it being a vice. He lived no less worthily than he taught others to do and devoted himself in preaching the gospel, being assiduous in this task to the end. No one could go away from listening to his sermons without being the better for them.

He wished for eloquence and it was evident in him. Conscious of his own hard labours, he despised the idlers. He encouraged learning for the benefits it brought. He upheld Church possessions as anything dedicated to God deserved to be.

By your favour with Elisabeth, the most illustrious of mortals, oh venerable man you were able to save this Church in which you yourself lie, from despoil. You were a notable example of the chances of life who, however much you had to bear, endured all ills great and many with imperturbable spirit – prison, exile, loss of much good fortune and above all the hardest thing for an innocent mind to bear, most malicious slanders: and in one thing alone was your wish unfulfilled - the shedding of your own blood in support of your belief in Christ.

And now after such fluctuation in prosperity and so many contests against hostility, being tired of life you have at length achieved the goal of perpetual rest in your search for God, rejoice evermore your toils are acceptable to God instead of your blood being shed. Go reader do not think it enough to know these things but copy them.

The word of the Lord abideth forever.
