“The arms are of Genet impaling Blake below the initials J.G. On either side of the shield running parallel to the side of the slab are the following lines :
All people that on earth draw breath in health preparefor the hour of death.
Above and below the shield is the following
—–th—–the—–John Genet—-ridge—-this tombe
Who departed this life 1690? The Poore, the Worlde, the Heavens and the Grave, His Almes, his Praise, His Soule and Bodie have”.
Sadlier goes on to say “This curious monument is evidently to John Genet of Oldbridge, referred to in the Jennet inscription.(cf.) This heraldic device or bearing on the impaled shield is not quite clear but appears to be a fret; so the arms are possibly of Blake. To obtain its proper meaning the last four lines of the epitaph should be read thus; The Poore have his Almes, The Worlde has his Praise, The Heavens have his Soule and the Grave has his Bodie.
D’Alton who saw this stone in 1844 records the date as 1609, making it the earliest stone in the graveyard.
