He is said to have been "a man richly furnished with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, patient in exercises, grave in behavior, profound in judgment, quick in discerning, and a sharp reprover of wickedness, hypocrisy, and of disorderly walkers in the profession of truth." He died a peaceful Christian death in: 1652.. See Evans, Piety Promoted, i, 31, 33. (J. C.S.) I
