conduct, and friends to all mankind."

This is the language of Dr. Beattie's biographer, who knew him intimately.
Cowper, the poet, thus writes of him to the Rev. W. Unwin, from a knowledge
of his works:

"I thanked you in my last for Johnson; I now thank you with more
emphasis for Beattie--the most agreeable and amiable writer I ever met
with--the only author I have seen whose critical and philosophical
researches are diversified and embellished by a poetical imagination,
that makes even the driest subject, and the leanest, a feast for an
epicure in books. He is so much at his ease too, that his own character
appears in every page; and, which is rare, we see not only the writer,
but the man; and that man so gentle, so well-tempered, so happy in his
religion, and so humane in his philosophy, that it is necessary to love
him, if one has any sense of what is lovely."--_Life of Dr. Beattie_,

4. O Lord King, heavenly God, Father Almighty, O Lord, only begotten
Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.

5. O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that taketh away the sin
of the world; have mercy upon us, Thou that takest away the sins of the
world.

6. Accept our prayer; Thou that sittest at the Father's right hand,
have mercy on us:

7. For Thou only art holy; Thou only, Lord Jesus Christ, art in the
glory of God the Father. Amen.

eternity.
