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.
