He died, after a min- istry of less than three years, in the thirty-seventh year of his age. Testimonies have reached us to the remarkable loveliness of his character and the pathetic eloquence of his speech ; and the picture which through these 1 bear of him has always drawn me to him, as to no other of my predecessors. In 1649, John Wilson, Jr. , was ordained as " coadjutor " 18 with Mr. Mather ; but after two years withdrew, and exercised a long ministry in Medfield. The next in the line of ...ministers was Josiah Flint, a graduate of our own Harvard. He was ordained in 1671, and had a ministry of nine years, ended by his death. His life and labors have scant, but honoring, memo- rials ; and his epitaph, in the old burial-ground, speaks of him as " the good scholar and earnest preacher and devoted pastor. " He was succeeded, in 1682, by John Danforth, whose ministry, of forty- eight years — the testimony is — " was in great fidelity, and in the exercise of superior talents and graces.
