My Relation to the Author, forbids me to Recommend the Funeral Sermon, which is here Published. The Design of it, is, more to Instruct the Living, than to Embalm the Dead. The Reader will find no Encomiums here, but what all ⟨image ?⟩know to be True. The Grandfather of the Gentleman, here spoken of, was the First Governor, that New-England saw at the Head of the Massachuset-Colony.

His Name and […] was known in other Lands, as well as throughout New-England. I had the Happiness and Honour of a special Acquaintance with him; to which there was added this agreeable Circumstance, That I was the only Person in New-England, who had part of my Education in the same University, where he had his many Years before; namely, The College of Dublin.
