life in the enjoyment of an uninterrupted ftate of good health, of excellent abilities, and of a very cheerful turn of mind, to which he united the inestimable virtues of true benevolence and unbounded generofity.

His Lordship was twice married, firft to Anne, daughter of his uncle Borlaes Warren, Efq. of Stapleford Hall, in the county of Nottingham; and fecondly, to Sophia, daughter of John Baxter, Efq. by his wife Ann, fifter and heir of George Woodward, Efq. of Stoke, in the county of Oxford, and has left iffue by both ladies.

Aged 82, the Rev. John Hinton, rector of Chauton, county of SouthampHe was born of a refpectable family at Newbury, in Berkshire; was educated at Winchefter fchool; afterwards became a demy of Magdalen College, Oxford; and, on taking priests orders, was preferred, by the patronage of a relation, to the benefice on which he refided till his death. His merits were great, but unobtrufive; and, fince the modelt diffidence of his nature withdrew them from the obfervance of the world, it may not be deemed improper to prefent the public with a brief account of fo excellent a character. During a period of 58 years, he discharged the duties of the ftation which was affigned him in the church with earnest diligence and exemplary piety. He never afked nor defired promotion; for "godliness with contentment was his great pain." Seldom was he abfent from his charge, never inattentive to the temporal or fpiritual welfare of his flock. His liberal and well-judged charities, his mild reproofs, and affectionate exhortations, together with the uniform tenor of his practice, were confonant to that principle from which they flowed, and worthy

of the Divine Mafter whom he ferveda To every branch of private or of social duty he paid an adequate regard. By the fame motives he was led to fear his God, and love his neighbour as himfelf. He was very active and expert in the common affairs of life; zealous in advancing the interefts of those with whom he was concerned, and skilful in guarding them from the consequences of difhoneity in others, and of imprudence in themselves. "He was wife as the ferpent, harmless as the dove." In the management of his own concerns, he united an overflowing generosity with fo exact an œconomy, that his means of doing good feemed to increase with the liberality by which he effected it. As a parent, he was the most tender and watchful guardian of his children; his care inculcated the precepts, and his example trained them to the practice of religion. It pleafed God to vifit him with many afflictions; but, though his feelings were moft acute, he never murmured or repined; he learned of the bleffed Jefus to be meek and lowly of heart, and he found reft to his foul." His forrows were borne with a pious refignation to the great Diipofer of all Events. He was twice married, and furvived both his wives. He lost many of his children; and, during the last 17 years of his life, was totally bereft of fight. By this misfortune the activity of his life was abridged, but the belt employment of it was never taken from him. His intellects remained unim paired till they were extinguished by death. It was his happiness to enjoy in the kind othces of filial affection a confolation and relief under all the privations which he had fuftained. The dutiful attention of his children enabled him to pals his latter days as he had paffed the former, in giving glory to God, and doing good to man. After having de voted the first part of every day to his religious duties, he spent the remainder in adjusting his own concerns, in the intercourfe of fociety, or in hofpitality among his friends. His fervices to his parith ended only with his life; he continued to catechize his young parishioners every Sunday, and dispensed his usual charities with his own hand, till a few days previous to his departure. Thus employed to the fatisfaction of his confcience, he never loft his cheerfulness nor

uttered

ustered a complaint. The fuccour of that Divine Spirit, for which he prayed without ceafing, fupported him through every trial, and made him triumph over every temptation. So gentle was his difpofition, and fo correct his judgment, that he never spoke a word which he would have wished to recall; fo engaging were his manners, that he conciliated the esteem and friend hip even of thofe whofe age and character were leaft fuitable to his own; so pure and truly religious was his heart, that he feemed to have fubdued the frailties and corrup

tions of his nature; fo fervent was his piety, that none who beheld it could remain unmoved; it fprung from a stedfast faith in Chrift; it fhone forth in univerfal charity,; it terminated in the certain hope of everlasting life. It pleafed God to remove him to that ftate, which he had long and earnestly defired, by a peaceful and happy death; for, after a fhort illness, he expired with the fame compofure as he would have laid himfelf down to fleep, without a struggle or a groan.
