Notwithstanding its merit and the preacher's tears
The passage recalls a preacher whose merit drew tears from congregants, admired for piety and sentimental tone, yet hindered by an austere temper unsuited to teaching. It lists multiple obituaries from Westminster, Fitzroy Square, Chepstow Castle, and other locales, noting deaths of Mrs. Auriol, Mrs. Williams, Marriot Lewis, Mrs. Rodd, Mrs. Wright, Mrs. Burkitt, J. Micklethwayte, Mrs. Turner, William Lemon, and others, with ages and brief notes. The text laments the loss of valued figures in society and commerce, including Richard Lee and W Dickenton, highlighting their public roles and enduring contributions.
