_Mr. Firmin’s Virtues, though of the more exalted Kind, were yet such as
all may imitate. It was not by the Help of extraordinary Knowledge in
any Art or Science that he attracted high Esteem from so many of his
Contemporaries of great Note and Eminence; he gained honourable Fame by
a diligent Application to Business, a prevailing Inclination to do Good,
and a serious Attention to the Precepts of our holy Religion. In his
Character we see to what Dignity and Honour a Tradesman may attain,
without ever being elevated above that Rank._
