An account of the life and death of Mr. Philip Henry, minister of the…

Having given this general Account of his Circumstances at Broad-Oak, we shall now go on with his Story, especially as to the Exercise of his Ministry there, and thereabouts; for that was his [Greek or Hebrew] the thing in which he was, and to which he wholly gave himself, taking other things [Greek or Hebrew]. After this Settlement at Broad-Oak, whenever there was Preaching at Whitewell Chapel (as usually there was two Lord's days in the Month) he constantly attended there with his Family, was usually with the first, and reverently joined in the Public Service; he diligently wrote the Sermons; always staid if the Ordinance of Baptism was Administered, but not if there were a Wedding, for he thought that Solemnity not proper for the Lord's Day. He often Dined the Minister that Preached; after Dinner he sung a Psalm, repeated the Morning Sermon, and Prayed; and then attended in like manner in the Afternoon. In the Evening he Preached to his own Family; and perhaps two or three of his Neighbours would drop in to him. On those Lord's Days ⟨p. 131⟩when there was no Preaching at the Chapel, he spent the whole Day at home, and many an excellent Sermon he Preached, when there were present only four besides his own Family (and perhaps not so many) according to the limitation of the Conventicle Act. In these narrow private Circumstances he Preached over the former part of the Assemblies Catechism, from divers Texts. He also Preached over Psalm 116. besides many particular occasional Subjects.
