He resigned his soul to his Almighty Creator Feb. 14, 1782, in the 79th year of his age. His remains were, according to his desire, interred under the South aile of St. Paul's. Reader, if you would be further informed of his character, acquaint yourself with his writings. His second wife, who had the happiness of living with him in the most perfect love upwards of 20 years, has caused this Monument to be placed as a testimony of her affection and gratitude to the kindest husband and most benevolent friend.

It may, perhaps, be unnecessary to add, that his excellent Treatise, "On the Life of God in the Soul of Man," was first communicated to the publick in 1677, by Dr. Gilbert Burnet, Bishop of Salisbury. It was re-published, with a recommendatory Preface by Dr. Wishart, Principal of the College of Edinburgh. The other works he Jeft are three Latin manuscripts, viz. A short System of Ethicks, or Moral Philosophy; a Preservative against the Artifices of Romish Missionaries; a Treatise of the Pastoral Care; and an English MS. of Occasional Reflections and Moral Essays; none of which are yet printed. ***P. 3.
