[21]It was about this time that the report of his remarkable qualifications as a minister attracted the attention of the late excellent Bishop Porteus, under whose patronage he accepted the curacy of Fulham, and to whose unalterable kindness, during all the remaining days of that venerable Prelate, he ever professed himself to be deeply indebted.

[30]A premature report of Mr. Owen’s death having been spread upon the Continent, letters have already arrived, expressing the deepest concern and sympathy at the distressing intelligence.

[35a]For instance:

“There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel, against the Lord.”  Proverbs xxi. 30.“The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.”“Noweapon that is formed against theeshall prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.”  Isaiah liv. 17.“I, even I am he that comforteth you: Who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man, that shall be made as grass?” &c.

“There is no wisdom, nor understanding, nor counsel, against the Lord.”  Proverbs xxi. 30.

“The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.”

“Noweapon that is formed against theeshall prosper: and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.”  Isaiah liv. 17.

“I, even I am he that comforteth you: Who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man, that shall be made as grass?” &c.

[35b]Such as:

“Nevertheless, though I am sometime afraid, yet put I my trust inThee.”  Psalms lvi. 3.  Prayer Book version.“Or, what time I am afraid, I will trust inThee.”“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him: and he shall bring it to pass.”  Psalm xxxvii. 5.“My soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is fromHim.”  Psalm lxii. 5.“Trust in himat all times: ye people,pour out your heart before Him.”  Psalm ii. 8.“Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me: andhe shall make peace with me.”  Isaiah xxvii. 5.

“Nevertheless, though I am sometime afraid, yet put I my trust inThee.”  Psalms lvi. 3.  Prayer Book version.

“Or, what time I am afraid, I will trust inThee.”

“Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him: and he shall bring it to pass.”  Psalm xxxvii. 5.

“My soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectation is fromHim.”  Psalm lxii. 5.

“Trust in himat all times: ye people,pour out your heart before Him.”  Psalm ii. 8.

“Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me: andhe shall make peace with me.”  Isaiah xxvii. 5.

[40]Probably in 1818.

[42]I cite the above passages, under the conviction that they express the genuine feelings of the writer.  In some cases, I should be disposed to consider extracts from journals, &c. when taken alone, as of rather questionable authority.
