revered pastor was seized with a violent fever , and died on the Th ursday following , Sept . 1 , 1726 , at the comparatively early age of fifty-two * His Funeral Sermon was preached by Mr . VVorthington , of Durham ; but , though it appears from the Sermon itself that be had a daughter married to a physician who attended him in his illness , and a son ^ who had nearly completed his medical education ( who afterwards settled
as a physician in Norwich ) , } et the particulars of liis life which are g iven are few and unsatisfactory * . After his death a volume of u Sermons on the Truth , Inspira
