3. Another Jewel was the fruitfulness of his discourse; for it may be said of him as it was of Christ, he went about doing good: where ever he went, he scattered his goodness, this all that knew him, knew to be true. He was full of good discourse where ever he came; when I was with him in his sickness, he took occasion to complain much, and not without just cause; (God grant his complaint may make impression upon our hearts) he complained that it was a great fault of Ministers, that when they met together, they discoursed no more of Christ, of Heaven, and of the concernments of the other world, and professed that if GOD should restore him, he would be more careful in his discourse, and more fruitful than ever yet he had been.
3. 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 Spiritual physic. I know not any Minister in this City more careful in visiting the sick than he was.

5. Another Jewel was his Prudence and Spiritual wisdom; he was not only a Pious and Godly, but a Wise and Prudent Minister: that had zeal for God, but knew how to mingle his zeal with discretion; discretion is nothing but frantic fury; discretion without zeal will quickly eat out the heart of Religion, and eat Religion out of the heart. Zeal without discretion is not a coal from the Altar, but a coal kindled by the wild-fire of passion, that is able to set a Nation on fire; but this Reverend Minister had zeal sweetly tempered with discretion.
