while oppression and venality never failed to excite in his breast a warm and becoming indignation . For such views aiid dispositions no doubt he was much indebted to the mild and benign spirit of the religious creed of simple and rational Christianity which he had adopted , and of which his calm acquiescence in his
known fast-approaching dissolution was no small earnest of its promises . A friend to freedom of inquiry and an unlimited use of the right of private judgment—to say that he was tolerant to all is falling far short of his state of
mind . Sincerity was the touch-stone of his good opinion , and where he believed this to exist , there was his right hand of fellowship freely extended ; without presuming upon the authority of any fallible mortal to call his brother fallible to
account for the homage he may think most acceptable to the common parent of all mankind . In short , ( and no servile adulation prompts the eulogy , ) such a combination of diligence , integrity , gentleness , domestic affection , generosity and unbounded good-will , is rarely found concentrated in so exemplary a degree as in his truly amiable and meritorious character .
So much extinguished worth cannot but powerfully call forth the regrets of those connected with him either by the ties of family or of friendship ; but these regrets are not without their consolations . May the influence of such an example have its due weight , and make some
amends for the public loss by stimulating others to imitate him in disposition , whether the ability to contribute may be equal or much inferior : and may we humbly hope that such a faithful discharge of his stewardship will meet with its reward in the merciful approbation of lthi Father and his God .
