2. PARTS OF THE GRAVESTONE: Quiz #2-Indentifying Elements of the Inscription (Difficult)

This one is a bit trickier:

Moses Lopez Stone (1767); Touro Cemetery, Newport, RI

Inscription:
Pull Down the Answer:
 
Sacred to the memory of Mr. Moses Lopez
Merchant, who suddenly quitted this transitory
Life, on the 6th April 1767, in the sixty-first
Year of his age
He was a Gentleman in whom were united
Every Moral and Social Virtue, which prepared
His mortal Part for the fruition of that
Glorious State, where the Pious and Virtuous
Receive the Reward of their good actions
