** It has not been thought convenient to add 

 any instances of his charity, though many might 

 be given ; because this is agreeable to his own 

 desire, which always was to be as private 

 therein, as possibly he could. This one only

 tioned ; viz. That by his Will, whereof he ap- 

 pointed his father, the Reverend Mr. Edmund 

 Wharton, the Reverend and learned Dr. Thorp, 

 one of the worthy Prebendaries of Canterbury, 

 and his dear friend, Mr. Charles Batteley, the 

 executors, he has ordered the greatest part of 

 that small estate which he left, to be disposed 

 of to a religious use in the parish of Worsted 

 in Norfolk, where he was born.

 ture, of a brown complexion, and of a grave 

 and comely countenance. His constitution was 

 vigorous and healthful : in confidence of the 

 strength of which, he was too little regardful of 

 himself, and too intent upon his studies ; inso- 

 much, that he did often deny himself the re- 

 freshments of nature, because of them; and 

 sometimes, in the coldest weather, would sit so 

 long at them, and without a fire, as to have his 

 hands and feet so chilled, as not to be able to 

 feel the use of them in a considerable time.
