He was an industrious, sober Man, for he never was Drunk in his Life, having never used any Thing to quench his Thirst, but clean Spring-well Water, or a Dish of Tea, Chocolate or Coffee, and seem'd to be very well fitted for Business. He lamented his Sinning so much against Light and Knowledge, and neglecting for some Years past to take the Blessed Sacrament, because of the Conscience he had of his Guilt and Crimes, and his lying in habitual Sins, and sometimes his not going to Church, for he told that upon Holy Days, when other Gentlemen were better employ'd, to make a Show of Diligence, he went into the Bank house, and eras'd and order'd about his Notes and Books privately by himself, as he thought fit He made a deep Profession of Repentance, and sometimes in the Agony and Bitterness of his Soul; he shed Tears and Wept, and with a deal of Submission and Resignation he suffer'd his deserved Punishment.

His Father resides in foreign Places, whether he went when his Son George was young, whom he left to the Care of his Mother and other Relations. George was educated at Westminster School , and made good Advancement in his Studies, but of late, as he was turning to Mans Estate, he became a most obdurate and cross Boy, Disobedient to his Mother, of whom he got the upper Hand, Negligent of his Relations and all good and wholsom Counsels. In a Word, he feared not God and regarded not Man. Although he had Abundance of Learning for one of his Age, and understood the Principles of Christianity, yet he had wholly neglected religious Duties, both Publick and Private, for some Time, gave himself up to a reprobate Sense, left the School, and joyn'd himself to the Society of Whores, Thieves and such abandon'd Wretches, and shunn'd the Company of his Relations and others who might be proper for his Acquaintance.
