Your Noble and Constant Kindness to Mr. Baxter Living, and your Honourable Respect to him Dead, have induced me to inscribe the following Memorial of him to your Name. He was most worthy of your highest Esteem and Love, for the first Impressions of Heaven upon your Soul, were in Reading his unvalued Book of the Saints Everlasting Rest. This kindled a mutual Affection in your Breasts: his Love was ⟨image 3⟩Directing, Counselling, and Exciting you to secure your Future Happiness: your Love was Observant, Grateful, and Beneficent to him. The Sincerity and Generosity of your Friendship, was very evident, in your appearing and standing by him, when he was so roughly and unrighteously handled, by one, who was the dishonour of this Ages Law; whose Deportment in a high place of Judicature, was so contrary to Wisdom, Humanity, and Justice, that there need no foul words to make his Name odious. Of this and your other Favours Mr. Baxter retained a dear and lasting Sense; and in his dying hours declared, that you had been the ⟨image 3⟩best friend he ever had. He has finished his Course, and received his Crown: His Name will shine longer than his Enemies shall bark.
