9. There are Some Remains of Good Painted Glass in all the Windows of this Chancell; in the East Window, wch. is a pretty large One, is a fair Figure of a *King, presenting a Ring to an Abbot. *Anno Domini 1349. Thomas COLLWELLE was Abbot of St. Augustine’s near Canterbury, when KING EDWARD THE 3d. gave the Churches of Stone in Oxney, and Willesboroough, and Brookland, to the said Abbey. But, may not this Painting rather refer to the old Legend concerning KING EDWARD THE CONFESSOR, who, being forewarned of his Death by a Pilgrim (to whom, (as the Legend goes), St. John the Evangelist had reveal’d it), gave the Pilgrim a rich Ring from off his Finger? This Story is well painted, on the Glass of one of the Windows of the South Isle of Westminster Abbey; where, under the Fig. of the King, are these mutilated Verses. Rex, cui nil alind praesto fuit, accipe, dixit,/Annulum, et ex Digito detralit ille, suo/ -- Evangeliste --- Villa Johannis./ ---Gratia petit./ The Verses under the Pilgrim are not legible. This Story is, in CAXTON’s Chronicle. See AUBREY’s Miscellanies. P.86.
See also WEEVER’s Funeral Monuments, Fol.647. where he say’s that this same Story is depicted in the East Window of the South Isle of The Church of Rumford, in Essex.

10. In The South Chancell, Are 3 Ancient Flat Stones, the Brasses and Inscriptions of which are all lost.

11. The East Window of this Chancell has been a very fine One; but it is now so much ruined, that the History wch. it contained is not to be made out. At the Top, however, are 3 Small Figures of St. Catherine wth. her Wheel, to be seen. In the Middle is a Large Figure (but greatly broken) of a Bishop surrounded with a Glory, and a Dove descending upon him. At The Bottom are 6 small Figures, viz. 1st A Man, and a Woman both Kneeling, and under them these Words. "Pro Aiabus Thome ELYS et Thomasine Uxoris ejus". 2ly. Our Saviour and a Bishop, both standing. The Inscription under them is gone. 3dly. A Man and a Woman both kneeling. Under them, "Orate pro Aiabus Thome ELLYS Uxoris ejus".
Out of the Mouths of The 4 Kneeling Figures proceed these 4 Sentences.
1. Secundum Magnam Misericordiam Tuam.
2. Miseere Mei, Deus.
3. Et Secundum Multitudi [nem].
4. Dele Iniquitates nostras.
