Lines on the Death of WM. OSWALD, Esq. of Deptford, Kent.
Aged 78 Years.

WHEN ripe for Heav'n and bow'd with weight of years,

God calls his suf'ring servant home to rest;

The blissful change forbids repining tears,

And meek submission calms the troubled breast.

With ev'ry duty amply fill'd on earth,

Good Oswald's ashes to the dust descend;

Fond mem'ry dwells upon his living worth,

And gathers comfort from his peaceful end.

Admire we Friendship?-his was firm and true,

Yet choice and pure, the cheerful kindness beam'd;
A friend to every friend of truth he knew,
And every honest man his brother deem'd.
Is Bounty lovely?-his was large, and free;
His candid mind and charitable heart
Gave ready audience to the suppliant's plea,
Nor suffer'd one unaided to depart.
Doth true religion by its fruits appear?-
He bore the form, and felt its saving pow'r;
Unostentatious, active, and sincere,

It ruled his life, and sooth'd his dying hour.

His spirit, fled to its etherial place,

Yet left, for sweet remembrance, long behind,
A proof triumphant of redeeming grace,
A bright and full example to mankind.

JULY 1823.

BRIEF MEMOIR OF THE LATE REV. SAMUEL BEAUFOY, OF TOWN SUTTON, KENT.

THE departure of this good man from a life of infirmity and trial, and his consequent entrance into the joy of his Lord, took place on the morning of the Lord's Day, March 23, 1823.

The following is an abridged account of his experience and entrance on the ministry, as written by himself, and stated at his ordination.

"I had the misfortune to be born in a part of Warwickshire where the pure Gospel of Christ was not preached; and to the age of twentyone I do not know that I ever heard a gospel sermon. At length the Lord in his providence brought me to London, and my desire was to obtain worldly good and enjoy the pleasures of life, (as I then termed vanity.) Whilst I was running the downward road to ruin, with the world for my god, and yet in a state of self-righteous security, a Christian was cast in my way; his conversation, although despised and rejected, was instrumental in fastening convictions in my heart, which I could never entirely overcome. These impressions were increased by the young man's upright and holy conduct; for although I watched closely for a spot in his character, I was constrained to believe there was a reality in his religion. From hence appears the necessity of professors recommending the cause they espouse, not only

by their lips but by a life according to godliness. Notwithstanding the impressions I had received, and the distress of mind in which I was frequently thrown by an accusing conscience, I continued to follow after the things of the present world, promising myself much happiness in the pursuit. At length the Lord laid his afflicting hand heavily upon me for more than three years, during which time I was relying on my own arm for strength, and building my hopes of salvation on a reformed life, instead of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. By the desire of my physician I went to Southampton for the benefit of sea air and water, which means the Lord was pleased to bless to my partial recovery. I then resolved I would devote myself to his service; but this resolution, being made in my own strength, was soon broken; and I again launched into the false pleasures of the world. About this time the Lord called after me by his alarming judgments, big with mercy towards me: twice while swimming in the sea I was in a miraculous manner preserved from drowning. Once I was near perishing in the snow, which came unexpectedly, and caused me to lose my way when hunting in a forest. Om another occasion I was compelled, contrary to my inclination and promise, to decline joining a party in a pleasure boat to the Isle of Wight, on the Lord's Day, when every one of the party was buried in the onea 2 B
