KIRK BRADDAN.

" Together down they sink, in social love
Together freed their gentle spirits fly
To scenes where Love and bliss immortal reign"

IN ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH YARD, DOUGLAS.

ST. MATTHEW'S CHAPEL, DOUGLAS.

IN THE CHANCEL.

Sacred to the memory of the Rev. Philip Moore, Rector of Kirk Bride, and officiating minister of the Chapel of Douglas. His education was completed under the auspices of the good Bishop Wilson, and he made a grateful return for this singular advantage, by contributing to the virtuous instruction of youth, being above forty years master of Douglas School. He was likewise principally concerned in revising the memorable translation of the Sacred Scriptures into the Manks language, for which by his learning he was eminently qualified. He was born at Douglas, September 5th, 1705, and died there, January 22nd, 1783. This monument was erected, as a testimony of friendly esteem, at the expence of the Rev. Thomas Wilson, D.D., son of the Bishop.

IN THE CHURCH YARD.

I had no opportunity of taking the inscriptions in Braddan Church Yard, but a particular friend favoured me with these. The violence of the weather rendered three journies of 16 Out and 16 miles back, ineffectual; for I could not take the inscriptions in this Church Yard. I left a commission for it to be done, but this after two attempts was given up.

Benevolent reader, art thou a parent, let thy heart sympathise with parents, and feel with them for the uncertain loan of a hopeful child; but, would's" thou know thy duty and revere the ways of Providence in such dispensations, read and consider the sacred page of Wisdom, 4th chaps., 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14th vs. Go thy way, tee silent, learn submission, end adore. Thomas and Mary Ann Arthure, Parentes mcesti posuerunt. Note.-This inscription, as given in the Parochial Tour, (Manx Society, reprint, vol. vi, p. 197,) is stated by the Editor to be incorrect. This corrected copy is taken from the reprint, p. 269. It is on a flat, oblong stone, about eight yards from the S.W. corner of the church.
