To conclude: Within fourscore years, I have known many excellent men, holy in heart and life: But one equal to him, I have not known; one so uniformly and deeply devoted to God. So unblamable a man, in every respect, I have not found either in Europe or America. Nor do I expect to find another such on this side eternity. Yet it is possible we may be such as he was. Let us, then, endeavour to follow him as he followed Christ. #tre Iits the 330'p Vicar of Madeley; Who was born at Nyon in Switzerland, September 12, 1729, And finished his course, August 14, 1705, In this village, Where his unexampled labours Will never be forgotten. He exercised his ministry for the space of twenty-five years In this parish, With uncommon zeal and ability. But though many believed his report, Yet he might with justice have adopted The lamentation of the Prophet : “All the day long have I stretched out my hands Unto a disobedient and gainsaying people : Yet surely my judgment is with the Lord, And my work with my God.”
