Bostonian sermon

CHAUNCY, Charles.
Prayer for help, a seasonable duty upon the ceasing of godly and faithful men. A sermon occasion'd by the death of several worthy members of the first church in Boston: preach'd the Lord's-day following the Anniversary fast, being the sabbath after the funeral of Mr. Jonathan Williams, one of the Deacons of said Church; who departed this life, March 27th. 1737.





Boston, T. Fleet, 1737. 8vo. 19th-century marbled boards. (4), 25, (1) pp.

Rare chapbook, published at Boston, in the United States of America, with one of the sermons by the very popular preacher Charles Chauncy, pastor of the First Church in Boston from 1727 till his death in 1787. Most of Chauncy's sermons include historical observations or references to contemporary political events, which is probably why they were so popular at the time. And also why they are still of interest today, especially for our knowledge of the opinions and morals of the time.

Fair copy.- (Title cut out and mounted; browned; last blank leaf missing).
