Mr. Edward Greg of Chester, a worthy Gentleman, and my dear Friend, died July 9. 1689. of a Fever, in the midst of his Days. He was one that feared God above many, of a meek and quiet Spirit, and eminently active and useful in his Generation. The Lord is pulling our Earthen Props from under us, that we might lean upon, and trust in himself alone, and might learn to cease from Man.

Mr. Daniel Benyon of Ash, my dear Friend and Kinsman, died June 25. 1690. a very serious pious Gentleman, and an Israelite indeed, a true Lover, and ready Benefactor to all good Men, especially good Ministers. He told me a little before he died, God had made use of me (though most unworthy) as an Instrument of his Conversion; for which I bless his Holy Name. He had a long and lingering Sickness, which he bore with great Patience.
