not to omit the mentioning one act of Spiritual Charity which he often expressed an hearty desire for both in Health and Sickness Which was to have a Law made to oblige our Plantations to baptize their Negro Slaves as their French Neighbours did And so far he pursued that good intention that he gave strict Orders and made it his earnest request to me and others that the Black who waited on him might with all convenient speed be instructed and made a Christian. Now I heartily wish this would prove a Motive to all who are Masters of such People who are capable of being made Eternally Happy and Instruments of praising God as well as we to incline them to have so much regard for the Salvation of Men as to follow and promote this Christian practice and to make this Charitable return to those poor Souls whose Bodies labour to enrich them and whose circumstances being narrow in this ought to have better provision made for them in the next Life This would be a most excellent act of Charity as respecting their Eternal Welfare which in our Blessed Saviour's esteem is more important than to gain the whole World He owned himself a Son of the Established Church professed a resolution to live and die in her truly Catholick and Apostolick Faith expressed a just esteem and veneration for all her excellent Rites and Constitutions Now this was visibly enforced by that singular respect with which he always treated her Ministers and Clergy and that particular regard he showed with great zeal upon all occasions for her admirable Prayers and Liturgy and express'd in the constant use thereof which he retained to the last minute of his Life Which I do not speak barely upon my own knowledge but can confirm by unquestionable Testimony And I remember he blessed God that this Love for the best Church in the World he owned was mightily promoted in him from that Orthodox Place of his Education which was one of the most renouned Foundations for Learning in this Kingdom and under the Best Governour that this or any Age produced But he lamented the opportunity he lost there as to other Advantages and Improvements Now these and the like were the result of his deliberate Thoughts and sound Mind before God was pleased to permit his distemper to arise to that height as to deprive him of his Senses and Reason And yet even then in his greatest fits of frenzy he never that I heard let slip an Oath or a Curse But animadverted upon himself in the severest manner to the Astonishment of those that Administred to him for his former excesses in that kind and in all his Lucid intervals was very inquisitive how he had behaved and carried himself and whether he had offended God by any Indecent expressions and received the information from those above him that He had not with great joy and comfort and commonly with Blessed be God or Glory be to God for it All about him were Witnesses what constant Confessions of his Faith he made and what Professions of Repentance and new Obedience he uttered and so earnest he was in his Prayers to God to restore him to his senses and forgive him his Sins that He almost melted those about him into Tears He desired those Reverend and Worthy Persons who were compassionate Witnesses of his severe distemper and Charitable assistants to him frequently to pray by him and for him with whom He joyned with all the composed sedateness and appearing fervency of Zeal And for some hours before he dyed he had his perfect reason which helped him in a regular and well ordered Devotion and a sensible carriage to the last So that if from the end we are to make our judgment and thence to raise our Hopes and Fears the Tryal of all things being in that here are strong evidences and good grounds for hopes to all the surviving Friends and Relations of the Gentleman to whom we now perform this Charitable Office To conclude let me address to you who hear me and beseech you to reflect on the terror of God's Judgments and seriously consider the last account you must give of your Lives and Actions and advise you to betake your selves vigorously and speedily to the care of that great and important business Here lies before you an instance of a strong Body and Constitution brought down to the Grave in the vigour of his Age in his full strength when his Breasts and Veins were full of Blood and his Bones were moistned with marrow Wherefore you that are young and apt to rejoyce in your youth and to let your Hearts chear You in the days of your youth and to walk in the ways of your Hearts and in the sight of your Eyes Know that for all these things God will bring you to Judgment And you who are drawing toward the evening and the day of whose age is far spent consider I pray you it is high time for you to remember your Creatour when your evil days come upon you and your years draw nigh when you may say we have no pleasure in them Finally oh that all would be Wise and seriously consider their latter end in which is the Tryal of all things So teach us O Lord to number our days that we may apply our Hearts unto Wisdom and receive the recompence of reward thou hast prepared for all thy Servants who live in thy faith and fear and die as we hope our Brother has in thy Favour Amen FINIS Prov. 18.14 Psal. 36.6 Ps. 139.6 Quid enim est aliud senem videre trementem incurvum canum imbecillum infirmum quam cernere morientem vivum aut viventem mortuum Cic.
