Tis an happy and a lovely Sight sometimes Exhibited, in the World; The same Family sometimes has afforded Eminent and Renowned men, successively for Three Generations. It was accounted a Singular ⟨p. 8⟩Honour to the Family of the Curij at Rome, that there arose from that Stock, Three Excellent Orators one succeeding another. More than One Family in this Land have had the Greater Honour, of yielding Three Ministers of the Gospel one succeeding another. But the Family of the WINTHROPS, has this way something very Peculiar in it. Three JOHN WINTHROPS, a Father, and a Son, and a Grandson, have by the Election of the People, been made GOVERNORS over a People of God; And after all their Service in their Generation falling Asleep, they must not without a sensible Interposal of the Divine Providence to bring it about, ly• together Entombed in the same Sleeping-Place and Sepulchre. There is not such another TOMB to be seen in all America.

One of the Seven Wonders of the world, was a TOMB. This may be Esteemed One of the American world.
