Without the help of a liberal Education, in early Life, by uncommon Application to Study, and a diligent Improvement of his Time, together with the Advantages of a Mind, naturally penetrating and Comprehensive, he had attained that Degree of Knowledge, which qualified him for public Business, and enabled him to sustain a variety of Offices with Honor to himself and Benefit to others. He was a man of great Integrity, slow and deliberate in forming his Judgment, he could not be turned aside from the purpose of his Duty, by any of the Arts of Dissimulation, Flattery or Corruption, his Stability of Mind and ardent Love for his Country, have manifested themselves for some Time past in his resolutely firm and unwearied Exertions for the public Good wherever his Influence extended and for raising effectual Opposition to the Power and violence of our Enemies; but the greatest and best Thing that can be said of him, is, that he was as we have Reason to believe a good Christian and a faithful Servant of God, and that he has gone to inherit the Promises. The Society and Town where he lived has lost a great Bond of Union and Support of Authority, the Poor and Injured a Patron and Benefactor, and the church of God, an example of Virtue and true Religion.
