Henry, thus expressed himself to me (and if I mistake not, the Lord Ambassador Pagett was present) I was (said he) near seven Years resident in the Universities, and seven more at the Inns of Court in London, and had opportunity of knowing and acquainting my self with the most eminent Divines and Preachers in both those places; yet I never found any every way so accomplished, for clearness and quickness of apprehension, solidity of Judgment, and roundness of Style, as Mr. Henry is. I have Noted in my Book of Providences, the Remark I made upon the Temporal Blessings God had rewarded him with; viz. a good and virtuous Consort, who brought him a good Estate, gave him a due Reverence, loved him with an entire affection, an ingenious and hopeful Offspring, well affected, well Educated, and well disposed of in the World, the favour of Men, and a ⟨p. 215⟩quiet undisturbed Habitation upon Earth, in great measure, &c. Sic Testatus, sic monet, sic precatur. Amicus maerens, anhelus, superstes. W. Turner, A. M.
