Nov . 2 . 6 . i 8 p 8 , aged 77 . Mr . EDWARD LOVE , of Headcorn , Kent . He was ordained an Elder over the General Baptist Church in that place in the year 1765 , and discharged the duties of his office with honour to himself and advantage to others ; but had been obliged , through the infirmities of age , to
relinquish his public labours a considerable time previous to his death . In his religious sentiments , he was a decided Unitarian , having been led to renounce the Arian hypothesis , which he maintained in the early part of his life , through reading" Dr- Lardner * s ' Letter on the JLogos . ' This work i £ conjunction with the
Sermons of that eminent Divine , he was influenced to peruse by the recommendation of the lafe Rev . Mr . Wiche , of Maidstqne , with whom he was for many years in habits of intimacy . The deceased was eminently distinguished for candour , humility a # d uprightness . In the different relations o ¥ a husband ,
parent and friend he acquitted himself with credit , and by the mildness of his disposition and the uniform rectitude of his conduct adorned the religion which he professed and taught . His interment took place on the Wednesday following his death , "when a discourse was delivered on the occasion from 1 Peter v . 4 « to a
crowded auditory , apparently anxious to pay this last tribute of respect to the memory of a man deservedly esteemed for his excellent qualities and sterling worth . Of no distemper— -of no blast he died—But fell like autumn fruit that mtllow'd long : E ' en wonder ' id at , because he dropp'd no
sooner—**—Heav ' n seem fd to wind him up for three score years and ten , Yet freely ran he on a few years more , Till like a clock worn out with eating time , The wheels of weary life at last stood still . ' . ffcadcorn , iVW . 28 th , 1898 .
