Whilst he was anxious to afford some glorious example of his activity, his valour & his love for his Country, and attract the esteem of his Noble Commander, this excellent Youth was (oh! doleful to Relate) suddenly snatched away by Death, in the flower of his age, to the unspeakable grief of his friends- he was a youth of superior parts, and from his most tender years had an insatiable thirst for glory, indeed he greatly excelled others in this gift of Nature-He died the 7th of June, in the 24th year of his Age, anno Dom 1665'",
