"But as sure as you sit there, you may expect a political persecution. It has ever been the case, that hard and ty- rannical oaths have been imposed by conquerors in such cases; and if we are overcome, what may we expect but oaths to bind us to passive obedience and non-resistance, which no conscientious man could take, but yet, must take or suffer. And how miserable a case must it be to be bound by an oath to a principle of the deepest slavery, and such as cuts off the only remedy against tyranny !
"Now, gentlemen, you see what we have to expect; and surely it must appear to you intolerable, and such as must make you still adhere to the glorious struggle for liberty. To be discouraged at what has already happened, is meanly to give up the cause. Surely no one ever expected the war to be carried on with Great Britain without the loss of lives, and those who die must have their friends to lament them. This is what we expected, and though we mourn and are sorrowful for them, and for the success of the Eng-

lish, yet let not this discourage. I sincerely feel the dis- tress, and pray God to enable you to be supported under it !"
An extract from a sermon preached from the text: "Be thou faithful unto death," (Rev. ii. 10,) will close these deeply interesting addresses. "My dear brethren : Since God in the course of his providence has so ordered matters as to require every true hearted American to appear in de- fence of his liberties, it affords me great pleasure to see you stand forth, with others in the glorious cause. We have heard your declarations on the point, we have seen your diligence in preparing, and now we see that these were not the efforts of cowardice, boasting at a distance, but that in real earnestness your hearts have been engaged in the mat- ter. After observing in you this heroic and laudable dis- position, I apprehend there need not much be said to ani- mate you in the grand object of your present attention, and more especially as you enter upon this warfare, not from the low and sordid views which are the main object of ignorant mercenaries, but with a proper knowledge of the reasons of the contest, and I hope too with a consciousness of duty.
"You see an open field before you, wherein you may ac- quire reputation and honor to yourselves, and do a most beneficial service to your country. The cause of American Independence and Liberty, which has now called you to go forth to the scene of action, is indeed a cause in which it will be glorious to conquer and honorable to die. The vic- tory, however dearly bought, will be but a cheap purchase ; for what, of all worldly goods, can be of equal value to freedom from slavery, the free and lawful enjoyment and use of our own property, and the free possession of our own lives and consciences ? This is an object worthy of our vigorous exertions; a prize worthy of a christian soldier ; a prize we are commanded to strive for, by the voice of na- ture and the voice of God. We have now assumed the independent rank we ought to bear among the nations of

the earth, and we are resolved to be free. Our enemies, with all their own and foreign force they could obtain, are attempting their utmost to make us slaves; and this ap- pears to be the main time of the trial -- the very turning point which will decide the question, and determine either for freedom or bondage. If their designs can be baffled for this campaign, it is most probable they will despair of suc- cess, and give up the cause. At least it will be a powerfully animating motive for Americans to proceed on in that cause, with which they must at all events go through, having nothing before them but success, or the most ignominious and shameful alternative. But though it is a worthy and honorable cause in which you now engage, you are still to consider that it is attended with danger. The instruments of death you carry in your hands, and the power of your enemies, by no means contemptible, declare it to be such. Victory can hardly be expected without blood ; and in such a contest, death itself may be to some of you a certain, and to all a probable event. By putting you in mind of this, I would not mean to intimidate, but caution you to maintain an habitual fear of God, and a concern about death aud eternity which may beget in you a readiness to meet the worst of events. True courage does not consist in proud contempt or thoughtless disregard of death; nay, he is pos- sessed of true courage who allows the serious thought of death its proper weight, yet in a virtuous cause prefers his duty before his life. A man of true fortitude is one who sees the danger, yet from superior motives despises it.
"You may, therefore, observe from this, that there is no soldier so truly courageous as a pious man ; no army so formidable as those who are superior to the fear of death, and consequently, that no one qualification is more neces- sary in a soldier than true religion. And now, as you are about to go on this service, I would have you to apply this to yourselves. Many of you have been under my care, and as it may perhaps come to pass that this may be the last
82

time I have in this manner to speak to you, suffer me with the greatest earnestness to beseech and exhort you to be watchful over your souls, to strive after acceptance with God; for you must know that if you are not at peace with him and are strangers to the Lord Jesus, that however you fall, you must be wretched. Endeavor, therefore, to culti- vate religion, and in good earnest care for your precious souls. Without this you cannot prosper. Especially be watchful that neither your thoughts, words, or actions be dishonorable to God. Avoid swearing, profaneness, lewd- ness, drunkenness, and every instance of cruelty. How awful is it to think that those who engage in war should be despisers of God, and abusers of the sacred name of the Lord of Hosts ; that they should expect success while they are the enemies of Jehovah, and expose themselves to the imminent danger of being immediately sent from their pro- fanity and wickedness on earth, to the blaspheming rage and despairing horrors of the infernal pit! It is too often the case, that soldiers claim a latitude to themselves in vice, and so armies have been observed to be almost sinks of wickedness. Let it not be said of any of you. Nor let anything which would bring a dishonor on the cause you serve, or the profession you have made, be remarked con- cerning you."
