A Man of positive stamp, of found Principles and honst upright Heart: Of diffigafh'd Humlity, Piety and circumspection: Punctualy righteous and true to his Word: Of a spiritual Mind; and patiently waited for the comihg of his Lord. It is observable among us, that with him have died all the Brethren who fined the Covenant when the first Church of Christ in this Town was gathered (Oct. 28, 1724) no one being now alive but the Pastor."
