Thursday, 28.--One who had adorned the gospel in life and in death, having desired
that I should preach her funeral sermon, I went with a few friends to the house and sang
before the body to the room. I did this the rather to show my approbation of that solemn
custom and to encourage others to follow it. As we walked, our company swiftly increased,
so that we had a very numerous congregation at the room. And who can tell, but some of
these may bless God from it to all eternity?
