p That our common brotherhood in CHRIST has
lost the society of one whose attainments were
worthy the highest regard; his church one Of her
ahlest ministers: his flock good pastor. whose
voice and pen ever cheered them on: the young
wise and safe counsellor, and the poor and suffer

relatives. and especially TO his children, whose
sOrrowful sacrifice has been, within few months,
TO spare to the Lord both parents; yet we rejoice
that they have been taught to say, When my
father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord
wilt take me up.
