Excerpt from Bishop Hall, His Life and Times, or Memoirs of the Life, Writings, and Sufferings, of the Right Rev. Joseph Hall, D. D. Successively Bishop of Exeter and Norwich IF the memory of the wise, the pious, and the good is blessed, and should be preserved and illustrated for the advantage and improve ment of future ages; the name of joseph hall, successively Bishop of Exeter and Norwich, ought undoubtedly to be held in perpetual remembrance. Few, if any, Of the fathers Of the Church of England, have left behind them more lasting or exemplary proofs of learning, piety, and unwearied labours in the cause of truth. The purity of his life, the fervor of his charity, and the variety and importance of his theological writings, have ranked him among the brightest ornaments of the church. He was indeed a star of the first magnitude, alike admirable and eminent as an author, as an advocate Of the church, and'as a christian pastor and bishop of primitive simplicity and piety. As Bishop Hall has left a brief account of his life, under the title of Observations of some Specialities of Divine Providence in the Life of Joseph Hall, Bishop of Norwich, written with his own hand, it appears advisable to adopt the whole of this narrative into the present Memoir, only pausing occasionally to introduce such other incidents and details as other and equally anthem tic accounts may furnish.
