And here I cannot but take notice also of the Right Reverend and Moderate Archbishop Juxon, whom King Charles the First selected for his Confessor at his Martyrdom, when he honoured him with this Testimony and Name, viz. That good Man. One who writes his Life, gives him this excellent Character, That he was a great Benefactor to St. Paul's, but greatest to the Church, which his Eminence adorned, and his Temper secured, in those Times wherein Roughness enraged that Humour, which Delay and Moderation broke. In his Duty this good Man went along with Conscience; in Government, with Time and Law. His Justice was as his Religion, clear and uniform, the Ornament of his Heart, and the Honour of his Action; neither was his Justice leavened with Rigour or Severity, but sweetened with Clemency and Goodness. He was never angry but for the Public, and not then so much at the Person, as at the Offence. So ambitious was he of that great Glory of Moderation, that he kept it up in spite of the Times Malignity. So that tho the most thought the worse of Dr. Juxon, for the Bishop's sake; yet the best thought the better of the Bishop, for Dr. Juxon's sake.
