To Him whose wisdom guides, Seem less than passing days. That lifts its proud head and decays. Short is the date of glory; The stars that sparkled o'er him, But he, their sovran Lord,' is dead. Than this proud frame of ours? Man's breath the north-wind freezes, And even the Zephyr's breezes Can chill his heart and crush his Dew of the morning sprinkled, And sinking into clay : Into Thy fold of endless day. A. ( 373 ) OBITUARY. 1822, March 4, at Montgomery Square, Pennsylvania, America, ANN, the wife of John MORTIMER, late of Wareham, in Dorsetshire. On She was cut off in the prime of her days, being only 29 years of age. She had been married not quite seven years; in which period she had borne four children, all of whom survive her; the youngest only fourteen days old. the 18th February she gave birth to this child, under circumstances highly encouraging; and until Thursday the 28th, appearances were so flattering and, alas! so deceitful, that a day did not pass without calling forth the thankfulness and gratitude of her heart. Towards the close of the last-mentioned day, whilst indulging in these feelings to her husband, she observed that she had never found herself so well before at the end of a mooth after child-birth, as she did then. Early the following morning she complained of a pain in the head, which increased in a few hours to a delirium, in which state she continued until a few hours before her death, when she became composed, expressed her hope and confidence in the mercy and love of God, bade an affectionate farewell to her husband and a kind English friend who had some time sojourned with them, and breathed her last without the appearance of a single symptom of pain either of body or mind! In a life devoted to the habitual and exemplary discharge of the conjugal, maternal and domestic duties, but few incidents occur which can interest the public; and, perhaps, in the present case, an apology is necessary for passing the bounds of a mere formal notice of her death. Yet, the writer of this trusts he may be borne with, while dwelling for a moment on her many virtues, and lament ing his irreparable loss. From early associations she had imbibed those religious notions usually deemed Calvinistic. Of late years, how ever, she had formed more liberal and consoling views of the Divine Person and Government, and had most cordially, and from conviction, adopted the sentiments of Unitarianism. But her religion was of a more substantial nature, than an ostentatious profession of it. Her judgment was solid and discriminating, her perceptions quick, her temper placid, but at the same time, lively and cheerful, During the perils of a long voyage, and the subsequent troubles, difficulties and disappointments incident to a settlement in a foreign land, amidst new scenes and new associations, her presence of mind, her prudence, her fortitude, her cheerfulness, never forsook her: difficulties, under which many would have sunk, seemed only to stimulate her to fresh exertions, and to rouse energies that had never before been called into action. Not a month previous to her decease, her husband, at the request of some friends at Montgomery Square, delivered a public Lecture "on the origin, nature and design of Sacred Music, with hints on the manner in which it should be performed." The deceased collected and furnished many subjects for this Lecture, in one of which she dwelt particularly on the beautifully poetic idea of departed spirits in heaven, listening with delight to the devotional praises of their friends on earth! Little indeed was it then apprehended, that a bereaved husband was so soon to be called by Providence to derive a melancholy consolation from this doctrine. Beloved Spirit! "Thou hast first And think that thou art there, J. M. April 20th, at Newbury, in the 85th year of his age, and in the full possession of all his faculties, the Rev. DAVID JAMES. He arose as usual between seven and eight o'clock in apparent good health, engaged in prayer with his family, and made a hearty breakfast. Soon after he sat down to write a letter to a friend at a distance, and while he was thus employed, he expired in an instant without a single groan. It seems most probable his dismission was so sudden and easy, that he was exempted even from the passing idea of its near approach. He was Pastor of the Old Presbyterian Congregation in Newbury, for the long period of 44 years, during which he was held in the highest esteem, and his miuisterial labours were most deservedly valued by the united, respectable and affectionate people of his charge. He re signed the pastoral office in the year 1805, when he was succeeded by the Rev. J. Kitcat, who afterwards married his only surviving daughter, and who still continues pastor of the same church. Endued with an excellent understand ing, which had been cultivated with studious care, and possessing an inquisitive turn of mind, which sought and found ample gratification in the extraordinary age of discovery in which he lived,-his mind was stored with a general knowledge of almost every subject that comes within the range of human inquiry. A lively sense of the vital importance of the Christian religion urged him, in unison with the sacred duties of his profession, to a careful examination of the various doctrines of Christianity; and the particular theological sentiments which he was led to adopt, from the deliberate convictions of his own mind, have long been before the public, in the several Sermons and Tracts which he has published. All his works possess intrinsic merit, but his "Short View of the Tenets" contains the most concise, perspicuous and satisfactory statement of the views entertained by the different denominations of Christians on the doctrine of the Trinity, that is to be found in the English language. While he maintained a steady adherence to those Christian principles which he deemped of sacred importance, he cherished and manifested that enlightened spirit of Christian candour, which allows to every man the unrestricted exercise of private judgment in all religious concerns. It has, therefore, been his happiness through life, to enjoy the esteem and friendship of many, both Churchmen and Dissenters, whose speculative views of Christianity were widely different from his own. The more prominent and distinguishing traits in his character were soundness of judgment, which had been matured by habitual reflection, exemplary prudence, which sprang from an exquisite delicacy of perception and feeling,a quick insight into character, which arose from his intimate acquaintance with human nature, great self-diffidence, which proceeded from the knowledge of himself, and marked decision of character, which was the result of an inflexible adherence to principle. His manners were so simple and unaffected; his conversation, ever replete with good sense, and often enlivened by appropriate anecdote, was at once so entertaining and instructive; and his whole life so uniform an expression of piety towards God, and integrity towards man, that he was esteemed and beloved by all who knew him. Inspired with the hope of a happy immortality, and a glorious resurrection, by the grace of God in Christ Jesus, he contemplated death with calm serenity, and waited in pious resignation and humble confidence, the will of his heavenly Father, for his final transition to a better world. May 1, at Lewes, in Sussex, Mr. HENRY BROWNE, merchant, in the 57th year of his age. Though he had been occasionally indisposed, yet no apprehension was entertained of his speedy dissolution. But his removal was awfully sudden, expiring instantaneously in his bed-chamber whilst undressing to go to rest! Having been a resident in the town for thirty years, he was well-known and highly respected. Few were more beloved as a husband, father and brother, whilst he approved himself an exemplary member of the community. As a Christian he advocated the right of private judgment, and promoted the interest of scriptural Christianity. As a patriot he protested against every species of tyranny, exulting in the accelerated diffusion of civil and religious liberty. He, in all respects, wished well to the great family of mankind! His interment took place the Sabbath after his decease at Ditchling, when the Rev. James Taplin delivered an appropriate address from the Revelations : Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, &c. And the Sunday after, at Lewes, both the Rev. Mr. Taplin and the Rev. Mr. Horsfield paid a suitable tribute of respect to the virtues of the deceased. To the General Baptists in that town and its vicinity his loss is irreparable, for he supported their cause with zeal and liberality. It need scarcely be added, that his afflicted widow and only son embalm his memory. Islington. J. E. the 25th year of her age, HENRIETTA, youngest daughter of the late Rev. C. WYVILL. 18, at Burton Hall, Yorkshire, in May 19, at Walsall, in Staffordshire, the Rev. ABRAHAM MANLEY. The following Lord's-day, the Rev. James Yates, of Birmingham, preached on the occasion from Numb. xxiii. 10: "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." The preacher concluded his discourse with the following remarks: "I have thought the happiness of the dying Christian an appropriate subject on which to address you on this occasion, because Providence seems to have sent Obituary. Samuel Athawes, Esq.-Mr. Joseph Spurrell. your late respected pastor rather to teach you by his example how to die, than how to live-during so short a time has it pleased Divine Wisdom to prolong his abode among you. The kind, soothing, and respectful attentions which you have continued to bestow with such unremitting assiduity, are a sufficient proof how much of your esteem he conciliated by his mild, pious and amiable demeanour, during the brief term of his residence among you; and the patience and resignation, the humble, yet joyful confidence, the calm submission to the all-wise decrees of Providence, and the hope full of immortality, which you witnessed in him, as you watched beside the bed of languishing, have, I am persuaded, -made an impression on your minds deep and salutary. "Of the habits of Mr. Manley's life during a much longer period, I can speak from my personal knowledge. It is about fifteen years since I first knew him. He was then commencing his studies at the University of Glasgow. He was always distinguished by application to his proper business as a student, by deep, humble and serious piety, and by the mild, gentle and unassuming demeanour of a genuine Christian. "To you, my kind and good friends, let me suggest as a ground of joyful hope and consolation, that, while the ministers of the gospel die and return to dust, the gospel itself for ever lives. The Church of Christ is built upon a rock, and the gates of death shall not prevail against it. Continue then the stedfast friends of reli. gious liberty, the promoters of free, candid, and unbiassed inquiry after Christian truth, and the zealous and consistent advocates of peace, virtue and humanity. Remember that the sacred and immortal cause of truth, virtue and genuine piety, depends not on the labours of Christian ministers alone, but is promoted by the examples and efforts of all who are sincerely and ardently attached to it; and bear in your memories the gracious and splendid promise, that they who turn many to righteousness shall shine as the sun and as the stars, for ever and ever."" May 20, at his house, Kingsbridge Cottage, near Reading, in his 88th year, SAMUEL ATHAWES, Esq., formerly a Virginia merchant of London. Mr. Manley afterwards studied theology as a student of Manchester College, at York. He then settled at Hindley, in Lancashire, as successor to his friend and tutor, Mr. Hodgkinson. 375 May 20, at Bourdeaux, Miss HAWES, daughter of the late Dr. Hawes, of Spital Square. 26, at her house in Hertford Street, May Fair, after a long illness, the Dowager Countess GREY, in her 78th year. June 2, at Hackney, Mr. JOSEPH SPURRELL, aged 79. He was born at Plymouth, in Devonshire, 15th November, 1742, and having lost his father in his infancy, was educated at the Grammar School in Plymouth, under Mr. Bidlake. When his education was finished, he served his apprenticeship in the same town, and afterwards commenced business on his own account, but not finding sufficient scope for exertion, he removed to London about the year 1767, and soon formed a connexion in a silk manufacture, which connexion lasted above 20 years. And from the termination of that connexion, until the last two years of his life, he was actively engaged in the pursuits of business. In 1770 he married a daughter of the Rev. Samuel Merefield, of South Poole, Devon, who was a respectable and officiating minister of the Church of England nearly 55 years. In this connexion he lived happily until her decease in April, 1794. He had several children, four of whom lived to maturity, two sons and two daughters. Susan, his eldest daughter, died in March, 1815. The rest survive. Mr. Spurrell possessed from nature a vigorous understanding, a mind of great activity, and a certain ardour of feeling which went with him into every thing that he did, but which, being under the full controul of moral and religious principle, never led him astray from the line of virtuous conduct. His natural cheerfulness of temper and his love of conversation formed him for society; and wherever he was, he contributed to the pleasures of social intercourse. He was fond of an argument, and as he never argued except in behalf of that which he believed, be appeared somewhat tenacious of the propositions which he advanced, but in perfect good humour with those who disputed them. Nor did any warmth of opposition seem to excite in him any thing like an acrimonious feeling towards an opponent. Of the vigour of his understanding it may pass at least for a presumption, that after having been for about 40 years a member of the Church of England, and a conscientious attendant on her worship, he began to doubt the truth of her doctrines, and, in con |
