His unaffected Modesty, and Benevolence, and the peculiar Sweetness of his Disposition, endeared him to his Family and his Friends. Zeal, ever tempered by sound Judgment, ardent Piety, and unfeigned Humility, were the leading Features of his Ministerial Character, and by his unwearied Activity in the discharge of the Sacred Duties of his Pastoral Office, he obtained the Respect and Love of all his Parishioners.
