His body began to putrify, very foon after he was 
dead ; fo that notwithstanding the weather was cool* 
it became very offenfive the next day, before they 
could get a coffin made. As the corps was of a fur* 
prifing bulk, the coffin muft be fo too. It was 3 
feet 6 inches broad at the ffioulders, 2 feet 3 inches 
and a half at the head, 22 inches at the feet, and 3 
feet 1 inch and a half deep. 
Great numbers of people came to fee the coffin, 
while it was making ; and at the funeral there was 
a vaft concourfe, not only of the town, but from 
the country for feveral miles round about, out of 
curiofity to fee, how fuch a corps could be got to 
the ground. It was drawn to the church on a low- 
wheel’d carriage by ten or twelve men, and was let 
down into the grave by an engine fixed up in the 
church for that purpofe. I am,
