James Peirce

This Monument is erected by mournful friends as a lasting testimony of their high regard, to the Memory and Honour of the Reverend, Pious, and Learned Mr JAMES PEIRCE; a most worthy and indeared Pastor of this Church; a rational, judicious, and affectionate Preacher; a very laborious, and sagacious interpreter of the holy Scriptures; a sincere Lover, and Strenuous Defender of truth; a courageous sufferer, while living, for maintaining the doctrines of the Gospel of CHRIST. And for asserting the Liberties of Christians; and, after death, denied a just Encomium on his Tomb in Leonard's Church-Yard, by the Rector of the Parish. The great good man departed hence in Peace, 30 March 1726, in the 53d year of his age. James Peirce (1674?–1726) was an English dissenting minister, the catalyst for the Salter's Hall controversy.
