It will be fufficient, I hope, here barely to remind you of the advantages we receive from the trade and commerce with thefe Heathens of all forts; and that we cannot make them a greater amends for partaking with them in their temporal concerns, than to let them fhare with us in our spiritual.

These things, my Brethren, if well weighed and confidered, will I hope have that good effect upon you, as to provoke you to zeal and emulation in this good work; that as you have hitherto abounded in liberality, fo you would abound in this grace alfo; that, having begun well in laying a good foundation, you would proceed like wife mafter-builders, to raise thereupon a fuperftructure uniform and agreeable thereunto; that as GOD firft created this beautiful world, and then proceeded to ftore it with inhabitants; fo may this School become a never-failing nursery to the Church, and a constant supply of found members early instructed in the principles of religion, and unalterably engaged to worship Goo in this place.

Many will be the bleffings that will attend this work, not only in regard to the private intereft, but to the public good and benefit of mankind, to their temporal as well as fpiritual, prefent as well as future happiness and welfare; a work fo very acceptable, ufeful and commendable, that it will continually redound to the honour of GOD, our bleffed Saviour, and his Religion; as well as procure the most defirable blessing upon our Church and Nation, the Company and ourselves.

Let us not therefore be weary in well doing; for in due time we shall reap, if we faint not; but let us be ftedfaft and immoveable, always abounding in the

work

work of the Lord, forafmuch as we know, that our labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Now to God the Father, God the Son, and GOD the Holy Ghoft, the ever bleffed and glorious Trinity, three Perfons and one GOD, be all honour and glory, might, majesty and dominion, now and for ever. Amen.
