His moderate expenditure made his wealth the more honourable, by an unflagging generosity to the needy he removed such a thing as poverty far from the neighbourhood. Amid the turmoils of a most troublous time, in youth and age he was firm in his allegiance to the English Church and monarchy. More eloquently than any monument this building ornamented at his cost testifies to a worshipper of God as liberal as he was sincere. When at last he appears in the assembly he 'shall make glad the City of God'* He died on 24 January, A.D. 1724, aged 85. Here was laid to share the tomb Anna, a wife worthy of such a husband, an admirably prolific mother who held in her embrace children resembling both parents by their virtues, and exchanged their loving companionship for heaven on 19 October A.D. 1729, aged 77".
