Art not thou he, O Lord, our God ; therefore we will wait upon thee, for thou hast made all these things." Taking up the words of his text, evidently upon the last expression, he comments as follows : " Xow, by waiting upon God, in the Prophet's phrase is undoubtedly meant, The making our humble addresses daj' by day unto ye most wise and perfect being, who is endowed with Infinite power and goodness, the author of our life and well-being, who formed our bodys of the dust and created our s?)uls out of nothing, who iu his unsearchable providences placed us in this material world and controuls

influences and directs every accident that can befall us, whilst we continue here, and therefore to wait upon God in ye actual exercise of such desires and affections as acknowledge God to be the author and giver of all things is most reasonable and tending to our own comfort in all our temporal and Eternal Interests." Worldliness and vice were thus by public sentiment under the ban and the maxims and manners that are so elevating countenanced.

It is but fair to remember these gentlemen in the difficulties they met with. Isolated, meagrely supported, separated from each other, if not by distance, more by questions that did not allow of confidence, with so many frowns upon them, either from the people or from the ruling power in the colony, they yet went on quietly in their work, to the untold advantage of the County. The Rev. Dr. Johnson, President of King's College, in a sermon at East Chester, in 1755, from Heb, xiii. 1-1: "For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come " urges, " Let us not be so foolish as to raise any great expectations from this fleeting uncertain world for we shall be wretchedly frustrated and the greatness of the misery of our disappointment will be proportioned to the greatness of our expectations." It is, moreover, to be remarked that the influence thus exerted is in a degree to be referred to the extended pastorates of a number of the clergy, half a dozen of them at least lasting over thirty years.
