Text is still readable. A Good copy. This is a sermon that was originally given by Joseph Willard on May 13, 1790 at the funeral of Timothy Hilliard. Willard touches upon several subjects; among them are a verse from the Book of John which commends John the Baptist and "gospel ministers" who are exceptional in their charge. Willard explains what makes an exceptional gospel minister which includes fully invested devotion and nurturing virtue within themselves and their parishioners. Willard also gives brief biographical information of Hilliard and praises his character and virtue. He also refers briefly to the final days of Hilliard.
