    and affectionate temper , courteous and obliging in his address , and affable and communicative in his conversation . So that , while he was through life particularly distinguished for that simplicity and

    godly sincerity which abhors the disguise of cunning , and prefers the interests of truth to the vanity of popular applause , the amiableness of his manners compelled the tribute of esteem and respect from those who had an utter

    aversion to his opinions . His talents , as a preacher , were great ; his compositions were manly and energetic , and aimed more at

    convincing the understanding than exciting the affections . His voice was sweet and musical , his elocution forcible and correct | his manner dignified and impressive ; and he addressed his hearers with

    an earnestness , which ^ nrested and secured their attention . For , many years before his death , he bad been led to question the commonly •• received opinions respecting the person of Christ ; ^ nd , after an attentive and deliberate view of

    the subject ^ be became convinced of his proper humanity ; in other words , he became a tXmtarian , ; and , regarding it as a truth essential to the progress of the ^ os # pel , he judged it an indispensable

    duty tp assert this doctrine jn the plainest and most unequivocal terms * He accordingly . prepared , and delivered from the puJpit , a series of Discourses on the Person of Christ , and on the Holy Spirit *
