He discharged his religious duties as well as the health of a frame worn by affliction, toil, and poverty, permitted him; but, then, he wrote no pamphlets adapted to the politics by which he might rise in the church.

He visited the sick and prayed with them; but he employed not his abilities in proving to the world that the Establishment rewarded piety and learning, rather than venal talents for state intrigue or family influence.
Far different from him was his aforenamed rector, the Rev.Phineas Lucre.

Though immeasurably inferior to his curate in learning, and all the requisite qualifications for a minister of God, yet was he sufficiently well read in the theology of his day, to keep up a splendid equipage.

Without piety to God, or charity to man, he possessed, however, fervent attachment, to his church, and unconquerable devotion to his party.

If he neglected the widow and the orphan whom he could serve, he did not neglect the great and honorable, who could serve himself.
