his industry and the pious Contribution of well-disposed Persons was Erected in the Neighbourhood which I hope will not die with him but by the same or like good and charitable hands be supported and continued In private how many did he lend his helping hand to encouraging them in the way of Religion resolving their Doubts comforting them in their Sorrows directing their Endeavours And this he did with sweetness and tenderness giving an easie access and admittance even to the meanest and hearing them with patience And in the mean time whil'st like a good Samaritan he was pouring oyl into the wounds of others and administring such seasonable reliefs as their case did require He himself shewed by the cheerfulness and liveliness of his spirit that Religion was no sadning or uncomfortable state but that however it might appear to drooping and melancholly minds whatever it might appear to such as looked but little into it or had little or no experience of it it was indeed the most comfortable state in the world to those that were intimately acquainted with it To this let me add the care he took of the Sick visiting them with great application sparing no pains to prepare such for another state of which his last Sickness and the occasion of his death was too deplorable an Instance that whil'st thus exceeding solicitous about others he was careless of himself and whil'st the dying Patient receiv'd Spiritual Consolation from him he in all probability drew what proved a mortal Infection to himself Which brings me to his last Hours It pleased God to give him some Premonitions and Warnings of his approaching End I mean not only by the dangerous disease he laboured under the former part of the year but also by such impressions upon his mind as seem'd to carry in them the finger of God So that for some Months past he would be often speaking and I may say preaching to his Wise submission to the will of God if he should think fit to take him out of this life to a better For this reason it may well be supposed that he was very desirous to see some of his Relations that lived remote from hence and though newly come from one Journey immediately made another to pay them a Visit where he had not been for some years or rather as he told them to take his last Farewell And accordingly he set his House and Affairs in order made his Will and if I may take notice of so small a matter among the greater he composed his own Epitaph which though plain as he intended is very expressive of his Piety and of the care he took of the People committed to his Charge And then it was no wonder when all this was done to find him composed at his approaching End and to behave himself as he had lived shewing an excellent temper of mind heartily resigning himself up through Jesus Christ to God the Father of Spirits and the Father of Mercies whom in that condition he entirely depended upon and found the greatest I may say the only supports from With what submission did he receive the sentence of his Dissolution With what transport and joy did he speak of our blessed Saviour and the happiness he hoped for or rather doubted not to be made partaker of by him With what tenderness did he bewail our differences and that spirit of censuring reviling and dividing that so much prevails and especially when after all such must come if ever they be happy to joyn in the Church-triumphant with those whom too often they refuse to converse and communicate with here in the Church-militant With what comfort did he take leave of his Friends of his Wife and Children calling them one by one in his last interval to him and giving each of them such advice as a dying Friend Husband and Father and a dying Christian would give to those whom he affectionately loved And now what is the issue of all this but that we should reflect upon it and reflect upon our selves Who of you that heard the last Sermon of our deceased Friend six days ago but if you had known it should have been the last would have hearkned to it with another sort of attention you would then have entertained it as the last Words of a dying Man It was observed that though he always spoke with an affectionate warmth that he then spoke beyond himself with a concernment more than ordinary as if he were sensible it should be his Valedictory and the last Sermon and That the last opportunity he should have of Preaching to this people It was the last indeed but we read of Abel that by his Faith he being dead yet speaketh Our Friend is dead his Body lies there before us he has no Tongue to speak nor Eye to observe how you receive his Doctrine but he yet speaketh to you in his Doctrine and Example and I hope as it was said of Abel he shall for that reason be yet spoken of amongst you And Oh that his Words were written not with ink but as St. Paul saith with the spirit of the living God in your hearts and lives to be known and read of all men Or howsoever that last Sermon or other Discourses of his may have been neglected or forgot let us remember the Caution which the Apostle here advises all to take and Fear lest a promise being left us of entring into this rest any of us should come short of it FINIS ERRAT Page 4. line 6. after storm read of Persecution Some BOOKS Printed and Sold by H.
