ness tb the Supreme Being ; whilst the new commandment of his divine master carried him beyond the restricted circle of the husband , the father , the brother ,
and the kinsman ; ( the exemplary discharge of whose respective duties it is almost superfluous to mention ;) and became the ground-work of that diffusive philanthropy which prompted every action of his life .
The alacrity and discrimination with which he dispensed not only his own bounty , but that of various opulent friends who were favoured with his services as an almoner , reflected equal honour on his judgment and his heart . Benevolence was his governing principle . Like the modest rivulet , which ,
stealing along its secret channel , is discoverable only by the verdure and luxuriance it produces , did the private unostentatious charity of this good man shed its benign influence over the hearts of the widow , the fatherless , and him that had none to help him .
