"Possessing a strong mind & competent education, he was distinguished in the various spheres he filled. Glowing with an ardent love of his Country he served her in Revolutionary contest as chaplain which station he also filled in the contest with the savages & in the war of 1812. As a divine with undeviating devotion he advocated the Doctrines of Christianity published by Jesus Christ and His Apostles and embraced by the venerable reformers as a Christian. For sixty years his motto was by their fruit ye shall know them, an adherence to which exemplified in his protracted and religious course. In his death Christianity has lost an able advocate, Society a useful member, and the Commonwealth one of its founders. Here moulders his body, his soul has winged its way to God and heard the glorious welcome, well done thy good and faithful servant, enter into the love of your Lord."
