Mr. John Malden, my dear and worthy Friend, turned out from Newport in Shropshire, for Nonconformity, dyed at Alkington near Whitchurch, May 23d, 1681. a Man of great Learning, an Excellent Hebrician, and of exemplary Piety, and a solid Preacher; ⟨p. 260⟩as he lived so he dyed, very low in his own Eyes; esteeming himself good for nothing, though really good for every thing, which was manifestly a prejudice, both to his Comfort, and to his Usefulness. He said, he was far from repenting his being a Sufferer against Conformity. The Relics of so much Learning, Piety, and Humility, I have not seen this great while laid in a Grave: But blessed be God we had such a one so long.
