T'he L I F E' o/" Mr. R AY. 49 
lived to bring his Part to great Per- 
fedlion ; and that Mr. TVillughby car- 
ried his as far as the utmoft Applica- 
tion and' Diligence of a Ihort Life 
could enable him.' 
. And .now, having mentioned the 
Diligence of this great Man, let me 
add, .that, it was ,fuch; and his La- 
bours {o inceflaht in his Studies, that 
he allowed himfelf little or no Time 
for thofe Recreations and Diverlions 
which Men of his .Eftate and Degree 
are apt to fpend too much, of - their 
Time in ; but he profecuted his De- 
lign with as great Application, as if 
he had been- to get his Bread thereby. 
All which I mention, not only out 
of’ the great R.efpedt I bear to, Mr. 
Willughby\ Memory, but .for an 
Example (as has been before recorn- 
mended) to Perfons of great Eftate 
and Quality, that they may be ex- 
E cited
