kind heart delights in such acts of kindness, that John Coxe, of Beymonds,
Esquire, his second brother and heir, as a memorial of his affection, erected this
monument.
(68) . Isaac Casaubon__This unassuming marble was erected by Thomas
Moreton, Bishop of Durham, in honour of one of the most profound scholars and
sagacious critics of the age in which he lived. He was born at Geneva, 1559.
He married a daughter of Henry Stephens, the learned printer, by whom he had
twenty children. He was inflexible in maintaining the principles of the Protestant
religion, and was appointed by Henry IV. keeper of the royal library at Paris;
he was greatly favoured and protected by that monarch. On the death of his
royal master, he removed to England, where James I. settled upon him a consi-
derable pension, and gave him prebends in the respective churches of Westminster
and Canterbury. He died in 1614, aged fifty-five, and his remains were interred
in this church.
