He may be a pattern to all in receiving admonition from any that should in love mind him of his fault. He was glad when any of the righteous smote him and would take it well, not from his Superiors only, but from his equals and far inferiors. He had learned with David to bless God that sent them, and to bless the advice, to follow it, and to bless the party and thank him that gave it. He would entreat such, as he hath done me in particular, not to be wanting to him in this Christian office of Love; and he would really show more testimonies of his love to such afterwards then ever formerly; which is a sure argument of uprightness. A most reverend Divine who had known him from his infancy, and had often conversed with him, gave testimony of him to this effect unto me and others when lately he spake of him by occasion of the mentioning of his sickness.

His latter days were his best days; for in the judgement of those who could judge spiritually, he grew exceedingly in humility and in spiritual and heavenly mindedness, his last works were his best works, arguing him to be of Gods grafting, and planted in the house of the Lord.
