[E]pitaph written by Archdeacon Kendall in [of] Hilary Church Yard

---

Here lies interr'd John Pennock Clk. Vicar [of] 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 [of] the Church had been his portion. Such a [so]lid ground of Learning, and becoming [m]odesty in showing it such candour of manners, generosity of Temper, and sweetness of disposition; in short, so many eminent virtues completed his character; as made him lov'd and admir'd by all, while he lived, and equally lamented at his death. Reader endeavour to imitate what thou can'st never outdo. Ob. April 18.24 [illegible] .su 53.
