A GOVERNOR greatly and justly Beloved among his People, [Tis no Flattery to Affirm, what Envy it self can't Deny!] was Lately seen at the Head of One of our Colonies. He is this Day to be Interred among us; tis with wondrous Lamentations; with such as I may describe in the words of Suetonius upon the Death of the Illustrious Roman; They are, Non secus atque in domestico Luctu Maerentibus publice Cunctis; Or, such as men have at the Loss of their own most Intimate Relations.

The GENTLEMAN, by whose Death One of our Colonies, as Beheaded, lies a Bleeding, and One who in the Confession ⟨p. 37⟩of all men, had the, True spirit of a Gentleman, will always be Remembered with Esteem among his People. I Confess, we are sometimes affronted with False Praises in Funeral Sermons; which deserve as much to be derided, as those Passages of Nero's Oration were by the Senate, wherein he Cried up the Discretion of Claudius. I shall not be guilty of them, when I say of this our WINTHROP; He will be ever Mentioned, as he was highly Esteemed, very Particularly, for his Courteous way of Treating all men, but especially Good Men, and Old Men, on all occasions; and for his Paternal, and Patient, and Generous Administration of the Public Affairs.
