（translated from Latin)

"Stop Traveller! Near this place lieth John Locke. If you ask what kind of a man he was, he answers that he lived content with his own small fortune. Bred a scholar, he made his learning subservient only to the cause of truth. This thou will learn from his writings, which will show thee everything else concerning him, with greater truth, than the suspected praises of an epitaph. His virtues, indeed, if he had any, were too little for him to propose as matter of praise to himself, or as an example to thee. Let his vices be buried together. As to an example of manners, if you seek that, you have it in the Gospels; of vices, to wish you have one nowhere; if mortality, certainly, (and may it profit thee), thou hast one here and everywhere."

“停下你的脚步阿，路人！躺在这里的就是约翰·洛克。如果你想问他是怎么样的一个人，他会说他是一个以自己的小财产过著满足生活的人。身为一个学者，他以追求真相为他学习的唯一目标，你可以在他的著作里发现这点，任何有关他的事物都写在他的著作里了，也都比本墓志铭对他的赞美还要真实。确实，他的美德，并不足以让他自己提出来炫耀、也不足以拿来给你做为典范。让他犯下的邪恶随着尘土被掩埋吧。如果你要寻求作人的典范，去从圣经里找寻吧；如果你要寻找邪恶的典范，希望你不会找到它；如果你要寻找死人（如果这能够帮助你的话），你在这里就可以找到一个、也可以在任何其他地方找到阿。”
