life. I have studied him in all the va-
rious scenes he passed through ; in
posts of great honour, in the troubles
of private life, in health and in sickness,
in business and retirement ; and with
great truth I can affirm, that in all
these several scenes, I never knew his
superior in solid virtue and just think-
ing.
His courage was undaunted, and his
patience immovable ; his piety unfeign-
ed, and his truth exact to the greatest
precision. Having been bred in the
school of affliction, his compassion was
never denied to those who were in dis-
tress, even by their own indiscretions.
He spent the last twelve years of his
life in constant meditation, contempla-
tion, and prayer ; it was truly a life hid
with Christ in God. He passed through
several states of purification and severe
trial, unknown to common and inex-
perienced Christians.
