P. 88. Dr. Mayo was a native of Hereford, and was educated at Brazenofe col. lege, Oxford, which presented him to the living of St. George's. Dr. Mayo was a divine of that clafs which, though it enjoy not all the fplendid celebrity that adorns fome others, perhaps excels all in real uti lity; that is to fay, he was a good parifbpis. He was a man of great experience in that particular branch of his profeffion, having been for fome time curate of Bowle-Stratford, then ten years curate of Whitechapel, then ten years curate of Spitalfields, before he entered upon the living of St. George in the East, where I think he refided 38 years. There is no church in London where divine fervice is performed with more robrical correctnefs than in St. George's. The affiduity of a paftor, attentive to all the minute of propriety in the ufe of the Liturgy, produced a correfpondent regularity in his congregation. Every thing at St. George's is done ευσχημόνως και κατα Tav. Dr. Mayo had a peculiar, but by no means an unimpreffive, mode of preaching in his earlier years; but his labours were not confined to the pulpit merely. He was the instructor of the young, in the catechetical way; the reclaimer of the diffolute; the grave rebuker of the blafphemer; the admonisher of those who had reached the gradation of unthinking levity in the fcale of offence, and were tottering on the brink of vice. He was the comforter of the fick, and cherisher of thofe who languished under the depreffions of poverty. He adminiftered the aids of religion to those who were paffing from time to eternity; and often, by the fide of the grave, exerted a vigour beyond the routine of duty, whit he taught thofe who attended on the interment of their friends to prepare for their latter end. He was particularly kind to the Negroes and uninftructed men of colour, who, employed generally onboard of thip, occasionally refided in his parish, which is full of fea-faring people. I fuppofe no clergyman in England ever baptifed fo many black men and Mulattos; nor did he at any time baptife them with out much previous preparation, that the inward and fpiritual grace might accompany the outward and vifible form of baptifm. The attachment of thefe poor people to him was very great. Several of them never came into the port of London without waiting upon him, by way of tef difying the respect in which they held him. Dr. Mavo was a maniftrate for the county of Middief, and performed the fanétions of that office, in his parochial relations, with great attention. The zealous care with which he watched over the charityfchools in his parish was very be coming. One of them is a school of high character; Raine's hofpita! I mean; into which young girls are transplanted out of the ordi

3

nary parochial school, and are taught all forts of useful household 'work; and then, after having lived five years in fervice, and bringing teftimonials of their good hee haviour, they are entitled to draw lots for a marriage-portion of 1ool.; and are married to fome induftrious mechanick, a member of the Church of England. Dr. M. was treasurer of this excellent foundation. I faw him, laft May-day [1801], in the prefence of a numerous aflemblage of the trustees and others, among whom were both the members of parliament for the county of Middlefex, deliver a purse, containing rool. to one of the young women who had been married by him that morning; whilft another stood by, who had juft drawn a prize of a fimilar portion. The good old man gave the new-married pair a fuitable charge, in a most affectionate way. His infirmities, it is true, impeded his fpeech not a little; he feemed to feel it was the laft he should make on fuch an occafion; but I affure you, gentlemen, there was an eloquence in his very pauses, and fomething fo touching in the tears which trickled down his cheeks, that they must have had hearts of ftone who could hear them unmoved. I hope I fhall not hurt the feelings of his family (a wife, two fons, both married, and two daughters), who furvive him, when I fay, that never man was happier in all his domestic relations. His children were all provided for in his life-time. He was a faithful fteward for them. His ambition was to educate them at his own coft, without breaking-in upon what was to come to them. His eldeft fon is a most respectable physician, fettled at Doncafter, and was, before he quitted London, phyfician to the Middlefex hofpital. His younger fon is well known to the learned world, Mr. Charles Mayo, the late profeffor of the AngloSaxon tongue in the University of Oxford, the fift-appointed profeffor upon Dr. Rawlinfon's foundation. Both these gen. tlemen were fellows of St. John's college, Oxford.-Dr. Mayo was a man of time frugality. But, as his frugality never funk into parfimony, fo it was in fome measure fubfervient to his generofity. He has walked, leaning upon my arm, with no small perfonal inconvenience to himself, through the ftreets of London, to fave the expence of a hack ney-coach; but then I have seen him give to the fon, the orphan-fon of a clergyman, before he reached home, the half-crown which he faved. No man het ter understood the economy of charity. There are few public charities to which he was not a contributor, from Chrift's hofpital downward. His known probity procured him the office of executor to many. Many have acknowledged the fervices he has done them in quality of trustee and guardian. The management of the property

property which he he'd in truft for others, often called him to the Bank of England. He ha been thought to be busied there on his own account; hat, whenever this has been chjectingly hinted to him, he has only antwered with a finie. A fmile he hai, of peculiar benignity. He was a man of great good-humour, and often indulged in a fpecies of chaftened pleasantry; but A delight was in that fort of wit which difhguithed fome great men at the beginning of the last age, punning. Dr. South himself was not fonder of a pun than Dr. Mayo. He was bleffed with a long feries of uninterrupted health. Rainy days, or inclement feafons, never stopped him in the career of duty. He was a parish-priest of the old fchool, of the school which bred John Waring, curate of Spitalfields and Bifhopfgate, and, laft, clerk in orders at St. James's, Piccadilly; Mr. Hallings, the curate of Aldgate, late fecretary to the Society for promoting Chriftian Knowledge; Dr. Markham, late rector of Whitechapel; Mr. Southgate, the curate of St. Giles's; and Mr Richards, the curate of St. Sepulchre's. Dr. Mayo was in politicks a Tory. His religious principles were truly onTHODOX. One of the news-papers faid fomething about his liberality towards Diffenters of all denominations.' This is a fort of fashionable phrafe. Liberal and kind was be to all; but he had none of that mawkish liberality which is mere latitudinarianifm or indifference. The proper Prefbyterian, who differs from our church only in matters of difcipline, he knew how to value july. The members of the Kirk of Scotland he regarded as perfons living under an outward establishment of religion, recog. hized by the constitution of the country. But as for the herd of ordinary Diffenters, whofe principles are no where set forth authoritatively, and who can give no ra tional reafon of the hope that is in them, in clear account of the faith which they profefs, whilst he pitied them fincerely, no man lefs approved of their difunited condition, and difuniting tenets, than Dr, Mayo. He had no good opinion of thofe who turn religion into rebellion' (to ufe the language of our Liturgy), and faith into faction. Thus much I have thought it but right to fay, and thus much I have faid with truth, refpecting fo excellent and exemplary a clergyman as the late worthy Rector of St. George's, Middletex.
