But I have only entred as yet upon that Scene of Things, which, has made so much Noise in the Country. A Number of Ministers, in one Place and another, were by this Time formed into Mr. White- field's Temper and began to appear and go about preaching with a Zeal more flaming, if possible, than his. One of the most famous among these was Mr. Gilbert Tennent, a Man of no great Parts or Learn- ing ; his preaching was in the extemporaneous Way. with much Noise and little Connection .. If he had taken suitable Care to prepare his Sermons, and fol- lowed Nature in the Delivery of them, he might have acquitted himself as a middling Preacher, but as he preached, he was an awkward Imitator of Mr. White- field, and too often turned off his Hearers with mere Stuff, which he uttered with a Spirit more bitter and uncharitable than you can easily imagine; all were Pharisees, Hypocrites, carnal unregenerate Wretches, both Ministers and People, who did not think just as he did, particularly as to the Doctrines of Calvinism ; and those who opposed him, and the Work of God he was sure he was carrying on, would have opposed Christ Jesus himself and his Apostles, had they lived in their Day. This Gentleman came from New- Brunswick in the Fersies to Boston, in the Middle of Winter (a Journey of more than 300 Miles) to water the good Seed sown by Mr. Whitefield in this Place. It was indeed at Mr. Whitefield's Desire, and in con- sequence of a Day of Fas'ing and Prayer, kept on purpose to know the Mind of God as to this Matter, that he came among us ; the Ministers in the Town, though fourteen in Number, being thought insufficient

to carry on the good Work he had begun here in the Hearts of People. And though the Design this Gentleman professedly came upon, was a bare-faced Affront to the Body of the Ministers, yet not only the People (which is not to be wondered at) but some of the Ministers themselves admired and followed him, as much as they had done Mr. Whitefield before him; and here he was, by their Encouragement, a great Part of the Winter, preaching every Day in the Week, to the taking People off from their Callings, and the introducing a Neglect of all Business but that of hearing him preach. He went from Boston to the eastward, to visit the Places where Mr. Whitefield had been ; and on his Return home passed through the Country, preaching every where as he went along, in the same Manner, and with the same Spirit he did here in Boston .- The Boston Evening Post, Nov. 5, I744.

A CAUTION to the PUBLICK.
Last Saturday several counterfeit One Shilling Bills of New-Jersey were uttered here (Philadelphia) The Paper is pretty stiff and good, and some of the Bills have an Impression of a Sage Leaf, ill done, upon their Backs. If these Bills are compared with the True Ones, both being fair, many Variations may be observed both in the Signing and the Printing, as the Counterfeits are a very bad Imitation of the True. Those who have not both Sorts to look at together, may
