The other side bears the inscription:

1680
Our persecutors filled with rage
Their brutish fury to aswage
Took heads and hands of martyrs off
That they might be the peoples scoff
They Hackstons body cutt asunder
And set it up a worlds wonder
In several places to proclaim
These monsters gloryd in their shame
