ing in his study. He listens to me no longer. His remains are en tombed, but his virtues will ever live in my remembrance. My dear friend Jones was an honour to the university, in which he formed so many minds to virtue and to science. A larger sphere was enlightened by the exertions of my ever revered friend Mr. Lindsey. Educated at the same university, but at a far more distant period, he lived for some time known but to a narrow circle; and he performed the duties of a parish priest with diligence, cheerfulness, and alacrity. The patronage of the great was not wanting to remove him to a higher sphere: but in the retired walks of life he had formed his mind; not for what the world esteems to be most honourable and praiseworthy, but what became a true servant of God-obedience to his commands, with pious resignation to his will. Under these impressions, he resigned his preferment in the church of England. He determined to adhere only to scriptural truth, and to worship only one God-the God of his Saviour. Soon after he realized the reform originally proposed by the celebrated Dr. Clarke -a reform of far greater importance, than that of either Luther or Calvin. Dr. Clarke saw the necessity of this reform: many learned and good men wished for it; yet year after year elapsed without the desired change. Mr. Lindsey at last stept forth, and opened a place for the worship of the only true God, according to the service of the Church of England; but freed from those incumbrances, which had been engrafted on it by the vain traditions of men. He gave to the public a liturgy, in which all Christians might unite-a liturgy, which omitted numberless causes of division; and by which the pious Christian might, without disturbance from the idle disputes of yain philosophy, worship, the God and Father of Jesus Christ. His labours were not unsuccessful. From small beginnings a numerous congregation was formed, and he lived to witness the establishment of many societies in different parts of England, to promote the cause of that sacred truth, with which his mind was so deeply impressed. If his public life was thus beneficial to mankind, he was not less endeared in private life, to all with, whom he had any intercourse. Mild, gentle, affable and courteous, he strove to do good to all. Difference of opinion was not with him an occasion of strife. He lamented the injury those unhappy persons did to themselves, who will not take up the easy yoke of Christ; but burden themselves with the vain endeavour to reconcile the contradicting opinions of fallible men. His great aim was, to call all men to the Scriptures; to exhort all men to make the Scriptures the rule of their faith and actions. To his last moments the Scriptures were his delight. In them he had been exercised from his earliest youth; and in his eighty-sixth year they were the great objects of his meditations. At that advanced age he fell asleep in the Lord; for his departure was like the tranquil repose of infancy; and he left this world uttering his favourite sentiment,

"WHAT GOD WILLS IS BEST.'
