"Here lyeth the body of Mr. Zacharie Hooker, of this parish, rector, who was buried ye xxv day of Nov. 1643. Si genus aut nomen quaeras, insignia monstrant: Si vitam, aut mortem, sat pia facta docent. Non opus est tumulo, cujus tot viva sepulchra Commemorant meritum, terra quot ora tenet. Memoria Justi est Benedicta." 1 At the end of the verses, an heraldic achievement, containing the arms of Hooker, with several quarterings. 1"If you are seeking a family lineage, the coat of arms shows that: but whether alive or dead, pious deeds display so much more.
