T

HE true Reason why you will find no mention of the Perfon deceafed, in this Difcourfe at his Interment, is; because according to my Judgment, I Maintain on all fuch Occafions the Difference between a Funeral Sermon, which is intirely for the Benefit of the Living; and a Funeral Oration, which is only an Encomium of the Dead.

Therefore here, neither the Compofition, nor the Subject does Appropriate the Difcourfe; but the Defign, and the Use of it is as Common as

that of any other Difcourfe can be; and fo the Occafion upon which it was Preached; and the Reafon for which it is Published do perfectly agree; which is, that, all the Service which can be done by it, unto the Souls of men, may be done by
