you a missionary, you may be ready to receive him. Behave to the teacher sent you as one sent of God, as I have great hope that God will bless you in this respect when I am gone to heaven. I feel that I love God, and that he hath done much for me, of which I am totally unworthy.
"My former life is stained with blood, but Jesus Christ has pardoned me, and I am going to heaven. Oh! beware of falling into the same evils into which I have led you frequently but seek God, and he will be found of you (illegible text) direct you."
Soon after delivering the above address, ⟨he⟩ died in peace, a monument of redecming mere and grace.
From the time of his conversion to God ⟨to⟩ the day of his death, he always conducted himself in his family and among his people in ⟨a⟩ manner very honourable to his profession ⟨of⟩ Christianity, acting the part of the Christian parent and Christian master.
While his people were without a missionary he continued with much humility, zeal, ⟨diligence⟩, and prayer, to supply as well as ⟨he⟩ could the place of a teacher. On the Lord's ⟨day⟩ he expounded to them the Word of God, ⟨to⟩ which he was well fitted, having considerable natural talents, undissembled piety, and ⟨much⟩ experimental acquaintance with his Bible.
He had considerable influence among ⟨the⟩ different tribes of Namaquas by whom he ⟨was⟩ surrounded, and was able to render great ⟨service⟩ to the missionary cause among them.
