was his particular requeff to be buried without pomp, and 
in a cliurch-yard only fo far diftant from town that his 
body might not be expofed to the depredation of nightly 
robbers. He was conveyed, therefore, to the burial ground 
of Dulwich college, followed by his relations in London, 
and by fome of his neareft and dearefi friends. His aca¬ 
demical character has been already defcribed. As a com¬ 
panion he was highly convivial ; he poffejfed a vein of 
humour peculiar to'liimfelf; and no one told a ftory with 
more effecL His manners were mild and unaffuming, and 
his gentlenefs was equalled only by his firmnefs. As a 
friend, he had no other limit to his kindnefs than his abi- 
]ity to ierve. Indeed his whole life was a life of benevo¬ 
lence, and he walled his ftrength in exerting himfelf for 
others. The benefits which he conferred were frequently 
fo great, and the perfons who fublifted by his bounty were 
fo numerous, that he was often difireffed in the midit of 
affluence. And, though he was head-tutor of Trinity- 
college alnioft twenty years, with more pupils than any 
of his predeceffors, he never acquired a fufficient capital 
to enable him to retire from office, and Itill continue his 
accuftomed beneficence.
