    consistency and truth ; he ' dejtetideil more upon the rewards Of conscience and the fruits of an honourable industry , than upon the possession of popular favour , or the precarious patrouage of the great . He turned neither to the right hand nor the left , but pursued the onward course of integrity and honour , conscious of the purity of his motives , and convinced from observation and

    experience that every honourable exertion is accompanied by its own reward , and followed by consequences beneficial to society at large . u In religion he was a consistent Protestant Dissenter . He claimed and he exercised the rights df a Christian disciple . He stood fast in that liberty

    wherewith Christ has made his people free , and he followed up the spirit of the gospel by allowing to others the privileges which he exercised for himself . He was sincerely attached to this Christian church . His services , his zeal , his devotion to its interests , are well known and appreciated by those who have cooperated with him in the management of its concerns . No labour was too

    irksome , no demand upon his liberality too great , when the reputation of the church was to be sustained , its privileges defended , or its benevolent designs to be promoted . As a religious society , we are bound in a debt of gratitude to his merrtory which we dan never pay . Our welfare arid pr 6 sperity as a Christian

    community , was one of th 6 deadest wishes of his heart , and that welfare and prosperity were only desired as h& ' tyfo ' ceived theni to Be favourable ' tttthe ' toctensian of *(* rin * ne Cn ' ristiailftjr , to'We promotion 6 ? the happiness / tff if / an / $ & ' the accomplishment of' th 6 graiid rf ^| g ) i ' of a wide atid ± o 64 W'Ov&rf ., in / W

In the discharge of those duties which resulted from his connexion with our

    charitable institutions , he was actuated by the true spirit of gospel charity . He knew no distinction of name , or sect , or party . He had no unworthy motives t 6 gratify , but felt and acted upon the command of the gospel , which requires us to do good even to those who hate us , and say all manner of evil against us falsely . If a brother or a sister was naked or

    destitute of daily food , he did not merely say unto them , Go in peace , be ye warmed and filled , bat he gave them those things that were needful to the body . In the exercise of his social religious duties amongst us he was regular and consistent , attentive to the worship and ordinance ^ of | he church , believing that although the kingdom of God is within

    us , and np external professions are of any avalj when * hey are , unaccompanied by the fruits of the Christian character , yet that the mean . s of grace , / were not to be despised , and that the public services of Chriswauity were eminently instrumental in diffusing the knowledge ^ and keeping alive the spirit , of Christianity , It is our consolation that he is gone to enjoy the reward of Mft labours ; jtnat he
