a just prospect and true calculation of my temporal success in the ensuing week.

Thirdly Though my hands and mind have been as full of secular business, both before and since I was a judge, as, it may be, any man's in England, yet I never wanted time, in my six days, to ripen and fit myself for the employments and business I had to do, though I borrowed not one minute from the Lord's day to prepare for it by study or otherwise.

But, on the other side, if I had at any time borrowed from this day any time for my secular employments, I found it did further me less than if I had let it alone; and therefore when some years' experience, upon a most attentive and vigilant observation, had given me this instruction, I grew peremptorily resolved never in this kind to make a breach upon the Lord's day, which I have strictly observed now for above thirty years. This relation is most certainly and experimentally true, and hath been declared by me to hundreds of persons; and now I declare it to you, to make the better impressions upon you of what I am about to say.

A TABLET TO HENRY MARTYN.

[Erected in Trinity Church, Cambridge.]

THIS TABLET

is erected to the Memory of The Rev. HENRY MARTYN, B.D., Fellow of St. John's College,

and two years Curate of this Parish.

He gained by his talents the highest Academical honors;
but counting all loss for CHRIST,

he left his Native Country, and went into the East,
as a Chaplain of the Hon. East India Company.
There, having faithfully done the work of an Evangelist,

in preaching the Gospel of a Crucified Redeemer,

in translating the Holy Scriptures into the Oriental Languages,
and in defending the Christian Faith in the heart of Persia
against the united talents of the most learned Mahometans,
he died at Tokat on the 16th of October, 1812,
in the 31st year of his age.

The chief monuments which he left of his piety and talents are
Translations of the New Testament

into the Hindostannee and Persian Languages;
and "by these he, being dead, yet speaketh."

'Pray ye the Lord of the harvest,

that He will send forth laborers into His harvest.
