AN EPITAPH. Here was deposited the mortal part of a man, who feared God, but not death; and maintained independence, but sought not riches; Who thought none below him, but the base and unjust, his parents, kindred, friends, country, which was the chief source of and who, having devoted his life to their service, the improvement of his mind, giving glory to his Creator, good-will to all creatures, on the [twenty-seventh] day of [April,] one thousand seven hundred [and ninety-four].
