Character of th? late Reverend
Jeremy Belknap, d. d;
JEREMY BELKNAP, d. D . Pastor of
the Church in Federal- Street, was
born in this town, 4th June,,744; hid
the rudiments of his education at the
grammar school, under the care of the
celebrated Mr. Lovel ; and entered Har
vard College, in 1758.'
He discovered at this early period, such
marks of genius and taste, such talents
for composition, such a flow of Sentiment
in conversation, as to engage the esteem
of the Students, and arrest the attention
of his inftrudors. His friends anticipat
ed a life that would be distinguished,and
soon beheld, with fatisfa&ion, that it
would be eminently ufeful.
e Having received the honors of the U
niversity, in 1762, he applied his mind
to the various branches of science, but
feeling very serious impressions of divine
truth, be turned his thoughts to theolo
gy, and the more he Studied, the more
he was captivated with the beauties of
religion. The whole bent of his foul
was to the work of the ministry, and to
this he, in the most Solemn manner, de
voted himfelf. In 1763,'he publilheda
pathetic elegy, upon the death of hit
minister, the Rev. Alexander Cummings,
which discovered how much he was influ
enced by devotional sentiments.
Soon after he commenced his fi ft ap
pearance as a Preacher, he was invited to
take the charge of the church at Dover,
in Newhampihire. There he passed sev
eral years of his valuable life with the
esteem, and affection of his flock, in hab
its of intimacy with ministers, and other
gentlemen of (he neighboring places, ,U
of whom regretted his departure. He
received marks of a ttemiorc and refped
from the firft cheders of the state, who
persuaded and encouraged him to com
pile a history which does much honor to
ear country, and has given the author a
name and diftinaion among the firft lit
erary charaders of the age.
When the Presbyterian Church in this
town agreed to form, their Society upon
Congregational principles, they invited
Dr. Belknap to be their Pastor. Noth
ing could have been more agreeable to
the ministers and people of the other
churches, and to ail who regarded the
interests of the Univetfity of Cambridge,
with which he became officially conned
ed ; being fully confident that he would
be a great instrument in promoting the
cause of religion and learning.
He was an evangelical preacher ; but
his sermons were filled with a rich varie
ty of obfervations,on human life and
manners. He never aimed at a splendid
didion, but a vein of piety ran thro' his
discourses, and his Style was uncommonly
elegant and perspicuous ; his arrange
ments clear and luminous ; ancfhii lan
guage adapted to the fubjed. He was
sure to gratify the taste of the best judges
of composition, and the humble inquiries
after truth. He had a great readinefi in
quoting and applying texts of Scripture,
and had read much of casuistic, I,ftematic
and polemic divinity, but be chose to give
every sentiment a p aaical turn, and to
diffufe that wisdom which is profitable
to direct.
His attentions to his people were found
ed upon a regard to them, and the inter
ests of religion. He was their Sincere
and affectionate friend, and he experienc
ed peculiar pleasure in giving religious
inftru/ionto young children—and was
very adive in encouraging those publica
tions which ate designed for their use and
benefit.
As a husband, parent,brother or friend,
be was tender, affable, kind and oblig
ing—he gave advice with cheerfulnefs,
and with an attention to their concerns
which invited their confidence.
The friends of Dr. Belknap were nu
merous. His at quaintance were much
increased by his becoming a member of
so many literary and benevolent societies ;
and he was adive in promoting the good
of every association to which he belong,
ed—wherever he ceuld be of any service,
he freely devoted bis timesnd talents.
