Sudden the summons came and quick the flight ;
We trust to be with Christ in relms of light.

procured him esteem. For many years he represented this
Town in General Court. He early stepped forward in
the contest with Britain and distinguished himself in the
cause of America. His warm attachment to and careful
practice of the religion of Christ compleated his worth as
a Christian and with his other virtues preserve his memory
