from the Eastward) I would observe, that you have been misinformed as to that Matter of Charge you alledge; viz. of my leaving my Flock from Time to Time destitute and unprovided for. In my late Journey to the Southward, which was for two Months space, just before I came this Way, my People were constantly supplied ; and before I came into the Motion of travelling into these Northern Colonies, the Neighbouring Ministers (of whose Integrity I have good Assurance) of their own accord, promised to supply my People : and therefore your Inuendo's of my being unnatural, and worse than an Infidel, bot- tom'd upon a wrong Hypothesis, might have been spar'd.
In Answer to the Question you put to my Con- science, (namely, Whether or not, the Reason of my travelling so many hundreds of Miles to preach the Gospel, was not founded upon the insufficiency of the Ministers for their Office?) I beg leave to observe, that my Opinion of the Ministry of New- England, was the same before I came this Way, as it is now ; viz that there are (as in other professing Countries) some good, and some bad among them, some sound in Principle, and some unsound; and further add, that I was informed before I left home by divers Persons worthy of Credit, that there has been in most Places of New England. for some considera- ble tract of Time, a lamentable Decay of the Power of Godliness, both among Ministers and People; so that there has been little to be heard, of a Work of Conviction and Conversion carrying on in them :
5
66
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1740
And this divers worthy Persons among the Ministry as well as Laity of New England, have acknowledged in my hearing, to be a Truth bitterly to be bewail'd ! And it is probable, that if the Author of the Letter duly considers the present State of Things, he will be of the same Sentiment.
The Occasion of my Travels, was not a Notion of any superior Qualifications in me, for the carrying on of that good work, Which Gon has more remarkably begun of late in this Land. Neither was the Design hereof to bring the standing Ministry into Contempt. And it seems not so Kind in this Gentleman as could be wish'd for, to insinuate this upon so slender a Foundation, which will easily bear a contrary con- struction. Does not the faithful preaching of the Word of GoD by Strangers, tend to strengthen the Hands of those Ministers, who deserve to be en- couraged ; and as for dead dry Drones, it is no great Matter how soon their Ministry be brought into Con- tempt.
Having been thro' much Importunity prevail'd with, to travel some Journeys to the Southward, and having seen much of the Divine Power in those Travels, to the awakening of a great Number of Persons ; and hearing of the Success of the Reverend Mr. Whitefield's Labours in New-England, and being much urg'd by him, and divers other Ministers in those Parts where I live, to come this Way, as well as earnestly invited by several pious Ministers of New England, to come over to their Macedonia and help them. After I had been toss'd up and down on

the Billows of distrustful Fears, Reluctance, and con- trary Reasonings, thro' frequent Supplications to the Father of Lights, both my self, and with others, for Direction ; I found a willingness notwithstanding of my mean Qualifications of Mind, and cold Constitu- tion of Body, to face the Northern Gusts, and com- mit my self into the Hands of the great GOD, in order to make an Attempt for the promoting of his King- dom by travelling. Which I consequently did, and have since seen no Cause to repent of it; For in divers Places which I have been in, since I left home, that good GOD (who will not Seal a Blank) has gra- ciously visibly and uncommonly bless'd my poor Labours to the spiritual Good of many Souls. My own Defence makes the mentioning of those Things necessary, which otherwise I would have omitted. I ascribe the Glory of those Successes to that Sover- eign good GOD, who will send by whom he will send, and who out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings, is wont to ordain Praise.
And indeed I may truly add, that I was somewhat influenced to undertake this Journey, by the Hopes of obtaining further Progress in the Christian Course, by that continual Train of Labours and Hardships, which I foresaw I should be engaged in and exposed to. Do not general Rules admit of Exceptions ? In extraordinary Times, when the Spirit of GOD is uncommonly powred forth, may not extraordinary Methods be pursu'd, without Censure ?
Thus Sir, I have given a hasty and simple Narra- tive of the Reasons of my Conduct in the Case suspected by you, which I trust will be satisfactory

' We have now among us the Rev. Mr. Tennent ; 'a very faithful and labourious Preacher : I have 'heard him four long Sermons ; much to my Satisfac- 'tion, and I hope Edification.
Thursday January 15.
Since I wrote the Postcript above, the heavenly 'Man has delivered two more excellent Sermons, in 'a manner so affecting and effectual, as I never heard 'Man speak before: For as he reason'd of the 'infinite Love and Condescention of Christ, and of 'his compassionate Manner of inviting us miserable 'distressed Reptiles of the Dust to come unto Him 'for Relief; a great Part of the very numerous 'Audience trembled,-and I hope not Felix like ; for 'there seem'd to be a most devout Attention, and 'the most reverential Awe apparent in every Man, 'Woman and Child, that ever I saw. Every ones 'Conscience seem'd to be more or less awaken'd ; 'and turn which Way you would you'd see large 'Numbers melted into Tears ; and for a considerable 'Time before the Conclusion of the last pathetic 'Sermon, there were such Outcries and loud Weep- 'ings of the Congregation, that you could hardly dis- 'tinguish one Sound from another. I hope they 'were not all human Sallies but have Reason to think

'some were effectually touch'd, and are under suit- 'able Convictions of their miserable State.
'Not only the Dress and Person, but the Preach- 'ing of this good Man, which is rational and scrip- 'tural, was represented to us as wretchedly mean and 'contemptible ; and by some was scoff'd at and ridi- 'cul'd ; but none that heard his Sermons here, more 'especially the two last, can open their Lips to the 'Disparagement of the sacred Performances, except 'it be such Miscreants who are mad eno' to sport 'with Damnation, and to recreate their jovial stoical 'Fancies with the Scenes of infernal and interminable 'Misery. The Merit of this heavenly Man has se- 'cur'd the Esteem and Veneration of all among us, 'that have the least Pretence to Piety or Understand- 'ing: And if you or any of our Friends have not 'heard him, I can't acquit myself without recommend- 'ing it to them and you most earnestly, if your Health 'will admit of it,

On the Departure of the Rev. Mr. Gilbert Ten- nent from Cambridge.
O Blessed Man, great Tennent ! what shall we No more hear Christ's Word sounded forth by thee. Dost thou this Morning take thy final Leave Of us, O how it makes our Souls to grieve ? Must we no longer hear thy thundring Voice, To bid thee farewell yet, is not our Choice. Must Cambridge never more behold thy Face ; O wilt not thou once more our Pulpit grace ! Must not the College see thy Face again ? Must now thy Voice be sounding no more in The College-Hall, where thou hast twice discharg'd Thy self; thy Heart was very much enlarg'd, In speaking, where the Students might thee hear, Inviting them to come to JESUS dear.
Thy first Ambition is to strike their Heart, With Words that pierces thro' 'em like a Dart : The Terrors of the Law is thundred forth,

The Flame that's in thy Heart bursts from thy Mouth. Thy Love for Souls, and Zeal for Gon doth flame, And first to speak to them in JESUS name, To those who are designed for to be Devoted to the Gospel Ministry ; Directing them how first of all they must,
Humble themselves to GoD, even to the Dust, Under a Sense of their forlorn Estate,
By Nature, and their own Performance hate. Regeneration is the Work which he, Doth press upon the Gospel Ministry, Praying, dear Lord, converted let them be, Or cast them out, their dreadful State to see. O Man of GOD, dost thou speak feelingly ; Dost thou Know what 'tis to converted be ? Hast thou experienc'd and dost thou dost,1 The New Birth what it is to undergo ? Didst thou begin at fourteen Years of Age, With Flesh and Devil a lasting War to wage ? Hast thou the Life of GOD, within thy Soul ? Dost thou not fear what ov'r thee may roll ? Hast thou the Faith that overcomes the World ; Altho' the Mountains in the Sea be hurl'd ? Tho' Hell and Earth together do combine, And both together Hand in Hand do join, Thou fearest not, they cannot hurt thee now, Thou standest firm e'en like Mount Sion to. When such a faithful Labourer is sent, Who willing is to spend and to be spent ; A Blessing 'tis indeed from Him on high, Who is enthron'd above the lofty Sky : And such a Preacher God hath sent to us,

To thunder forth on us Mount Sina's Curse, And shew us what a dreadful State we're in, While we are under the reigning Pow'r of Sin. This Man of GOD, a faithful Tennent is, Faithful in seeking our Souls Happiness. He tells us that the Works of the Law are vain, That we can never by it Salvation gain. Like Pharisees we must not make our brags, But count our Righteousness as filthy Rags, Yea by the Law we must be killed quite, That by the Grace of Jesus we live might. Works of our own can't justify us, no, Works are the natural Fruits of Faith we know. The worst of Hypocrites good Works may do, And a great Shew of Holiness make too. They may perform a round of Duties like The best of Christians, and yet perish quite. This mighty Hero with a powerful Voice, Has plainly told us how to make our Choice. 'Tis first to mourn that we can't mourn for Sin, And strive to mortify our Lusts within ; To search the bottom of our Hearts, and find Our1 all that's there contrary to God's Mind, He sounds the Doctrine forth of Self-denial, And says we must expect the fiery Trial, If in Christ Jesus we live godly would, Then suffer Persecution sure we should. Come out for Christ we must against all those That do his Cause and Interest oppose. Suffer with Christ we must if we would reign With Christ in Heaven, and his Glory gain.

He solemnly doth warn both Old and Young, To flee and to escape the Wrath to come. And come to Jesus by a living Faith, This is the Way to Happiness he saith. True Faith in Christ with new Obedience is, The Way that we must enter into Bliss. When we have with our utmost Diligence, Done what we can God's Glory to advance, We merit nothing from the Hand of God, But to be punish'd with his scourging Rod. And if at last we do arrive at heaven, It is free Grace, free Grace, 'tis freely giv'n.
These are the Doctrines which this Man of GOD, Has spread thro' New England where's1 he's trod, He thunders first, a Son of Thunder is, And then he lightens the true Way to bliss. These are Doctrines which we must embrace, If e're in Heav'n we mean to gain a Place. When Whitefield that bless'd Saint of God first came The very Doctrines he preached were the same. He spake these Truths to us with such a Flame, Of Love and Zeal in his great Master's Name. Which caus'd both Old and Young to shed forth Tears Reflecting on their State, caus'd many Fears. In all the Churches thro' New England where He preach'd these Gospel Truths, Weeping was there. What this great Master of Assemblies spoke Great Tennent is not come for to revoke
Those great and awful Truths he did declare, But clinched the Nails which by him fasten'd were. And he has done it with such great Success,
