HIS Prayr's at last are hear'd, and Heav'n has gain'd The Prize we wish.d might late have been obtain.d And tho' so many Vows were daily paid, That what we Fear'd might be at least Delay'd, Till some kind moment should another give Whence we might draw instructions how to live, Yet Since we pray'd for what He least desir'd, Fate did the work He'd have, and He expir'd. And now ye weeping Crouds which us'd to wait Assur'd of help, since at this Preacher's Gate Lament your joys and comforts which are Red And mourn His Death in whom ye all are Dead. Tell me, Ah! tell me, whom He's left behind So just, so good, so hospitably kind, So rich in merit and so poor in Mind? Who shall His Counsels with His bounty give, And Life preserving Teach ye how to Live? But see, not only these have cause to wear Sad Sable, and in mournful weeds appear, The Rich should also Tears in Sorrow shed. Since they best knew the worth of Him that's Dead Wherefore ye Men of Wealth, and Men of Power, Who now with us bewail the Fickle Hour, And weep for Him whose only Death should have Fountains of Tears to stream a round His Grave, Aloud your Sorrows and your Sighs bestow, And for Him who taught union Tears united show. When now Departed Saint behold and see What we have lost in Singly loseing Thee,
How Sighing Crouds attend Thee to Thy Tomb, And in thy Death all fear a Gen'ral Doom. Which Heav'n prevent, tho' its destructive laws Have for such sad surmises given cause And as such Sins as ours, good Teachers need, Give us a good one that may Him succeed, And tho' the best of those who live, can ne'r Entreat of God so well as Him, to spare, Yet still the Best may lessen those high Crimes, Which he, if living, had extinguish'd to succeding times. EPITAPH. Within this marble Stone doth rest, Of Men, and humane Race, the Best, An Excellent and Painful Preacher, A Pious and an Humble Teacher, Whose Doctrine tho' it could not save Himself, from the remorsless Grave, Has Taught us all the Way to be Alive as to Eternity.
