The body was taken to the Chapel of St. Faith in the cloisters on the night of Thursday, July 14, and on the following morning was borne into the Abbey, followed by the mourners, and preceded by some members of the chapter, and the choir singing the sentences. Never, surely, were the two beautiful anthems which followed — ' When the ear heard him, then it blessed him,' and ' Blest are the departed,' sung over the remains of any one to whom they were more truly applicable. The body was borne out... through the north transept — the same transept through which, for half a century, he had passed to and from the act of worship with which he prepared for the labours of each day. Certainly no one had a better claim to find his last resting place, and his enduring monu- ment, within the walls of the great Abbey than he who for so many years had delighted to offer up his daily devotions there, and felt his spirit elevated by the sublime beauty of the building. Nor was 264 MEMOIR. 1868- any one more worthy than he to he in that great national sanctuary, the receptacle of those who have, in one way or another, deserved well of their country ; tor a more high-minded servant of the State never lived, and a more patriotic heart never beat.
