6. In his faithfulness to the trust committed to him as in other things, so more especially in disposing of his Church-livings. Herein he was very eminent, and very exemplary, being always exactly careful to prefer able, godly, and painful Ministers to them. And I doubt not, but there are thousands blessing God in heaven for the good they have got by the Ministers put in by this Noble Earle. The truth is, he was a great Patron and Maecenas to the pious and religious Ministry. We Ministers may say of him as they did of the Centurion, he loved our Nation; we have great cause to weep over his hearse, and to bemoan his death: For we have this day lost one of the greatest friends that the godly and painful Ministers had in England.
