Scholar to the excellent Dr. Blow; an admired, useful, and sedulous
Ornament to the Choir of St. Paul's; above 11 Years the exquisite
Organist of this Church, and Master to other good Organists.
| |
His very artful, solemn, and moving Compositions and
Perfomances, for and in the Service of God, &c. tho' through his
Humility disregarded by himself, have deservedly raised him a
great Name and Esteem among the best and most impartial Judges
of them.
| |
He was very unaffectedly charitable, generous, faithful, sincere,
neat and amiable, but suffered much by over Credulity, Excess of
Modesty, and Good Nature, and by false Reports.
| |
But before his last languishing Illness, occasioned by Grief, he
regained that Spirit of Piety, for which he had been early
distinguished, and so ended his Life, as has caused Joy in Heaven.
| |
As he was fervently praying for Blessings on us all, and just had
said Amen, [the last Word he ever spoke] he sweetly and gladly
died in the Lord, March 11. 1713/14. æ. S. 27.
