Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: but in every thing approving ourselves as ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in straits, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, in purity, in knowledge, in long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, by the word of truth, by the power of God, with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left, through honour and dishonour, through evil report and good report: as deceivers, yet true men; as unknown, though well known; as dying, and lo! we live; as chastened, yet not given over to death; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
"Doubtless the spontaneous and just appreciation of an intelligent people is the best earthly reward for earnest and cheerful services rendered to one's state and country; and while it is a matter of unfeigned regret that my life has been so barren of usefulness, I shall ever hold this and similar tributes among my most cherished recollections.

Should circumstances render it, in a manner, inevitably necessary to be in the affirmative, be assured, my dear sir, I shall assume the task with the most unfeigned reluctance and with a real diffidence, for which I shall probably receive no credit from the world. If I know my own heart, nothing short of a conviction of duty will induce me again to take an active part in public affairs.
