to be ready to lay my bones in my churchyard ; and in
such a case I shall put you in mind of your kind pro-

dian angd, — ^hold up my hands in my last conflict, and
close my eyes when it is over. Two of my parishioners

to go with them in a post chaise ; but I had so bad a
night before the day I was to set out,. that I gave it up.
