No pompous notions ƒwell’d their ƒteady mind,
Sincere in Friendƒhip to all People kind.
Their Morals good, a feeling Heart reveal’d,
Tho’ from the World moƒt cautiouƒly conceal’d
With Patience to one Iaƒt they did ƒubmit,
And imagined not of what the Lord thought fit
But with a Chriƒt – ourage did reƒign
Their ƒoul to – this appointed time”
