[E]pitaph written by Archdeakon Kendall in [Hilan?] Church [gord?]

---

Here lies interred John Pennock Clk. Vicar this Parish, Rector of [St Leve?], Canon [re]sidentiary and Chancellor of the Cathedral [ch]urch of Exeter, whose preferments, had they [b]een equal to his merits, the highest Dignities the Church had been his portion. Such a [so]lid ground of Learning, and becoming [modestly?] in showing it such [candor?] of manners, generosity of Temper, and [sweetness?] of disposition; in short, so many eminent virtues completed his character; [as?] made him loved and admired by all, while he lived, and equally lamented at his death. [Reader?] endeavour to imitate what thou [canst?] never outdo. [illegible] April 18.24 [illegible]. 53.
