He was at the great meeting near
Lombard-street, on the first day of the week, and it was the third
following about ten at night when he left us; being at the house of Henry
Goldney, in the same court. In a good old age he went, after having
lived to see his children's children in the truth to many generations.
He had the comfort of a short illness, and the blessing of a clear sense
to the last: and we may truly say, with a man of God of old, that being
dead, he yet speaketh: and though now absent in body, he is present in
spirit; neither time nor place being able to interrupt the communion of
saints, or dissolve the fellowship of the spirits of the just. His works
praise him, because they are to the praise of Him that wrought by him;
for which his memorial is and shall be blessed. I have done, as to this
part of my preface, when I have left this short epitaph to his
name,--Many sons have done virtuously in this day; but, dear George, thou
excellest them all.
