To my Much Honoured FRIENDS; The Pious and Valiant COMMANDERS, Of the FORCES now engaged against our Indian Enemies.
Gentlemen,
A Request from One of you, was that which I esteemed a Command, for my Preaching of a Sermon filled with Counsels and Comforts to part of the Forces now under your auspicious Conduct. I was too dull to apprehend it either an Impudent or an Improper thing for me to do That, While I found a Minister (and Him none of the oldest neither) charged with a very great Solemnity, Preach the Word, Be instant in season, out of season, WATCH thou in all things, fulfil the Ministry.
