THE Worthy Minister of Haverhil, was Killed, in a Descent of the hideous Cannibals upon his Neighbourhood. In this Death, as well as in the Other, Methinks, I hear the Mighty Voice of our Glorious Lord, unto the Pastors of His Churches; Oh! Look into your Hearts and Lives, to see what Share you also have in the Sins of the Times! Oh! Do with your Might what your Hand finds to do; as not knowing When or How you may be taken off! Oh! Do all you can to make my People Mind what I Speak unto them, in the Things which I do among them!
