Fourthly, another Jewel that beautified this righteous man, was his mercifulness: He was a merciful man, which he manifested, not only in his charity to the Members of Jesus Christ, but in his frequent visiting of sick persons, and persons that needed his spiritual Physic. I know not any Minister in the City more careful in visiting the sick, then he was.
