From the facility he discovered in learning the rudiments of his native language, his parents be lieved him endowed with more than ordinary ge nius, and resolved to raise him to the profession of a clergyman. He was, therefore, placed in a gram mar school to receive the requisite instructions. He engaged, himself, with so much ardour in this pious enterprize, and pursued his studies with so much diligence, that before he had reached the eighth year of his age, he had attained a great reputation, in his class, for industry and capacity.
