TO THE FAMILIES COMPOSING THE THIRD CHURCH AND SOCIETY IN HINGHAM. My Friends and People, It is equally the dictate of duty and inclination, in your Pastor, to dedicate to you the volume of prayers, composed and selected for your benefit. As I have prepared it during the last month, amidst all the other duties of my office, I must ask from you that candour, on which I have so often relied. Accept it as a part of my ministerial labours, and as an expression of my earnest wish to advance the spirit of true devotion and pure Christianity. Hingham, August 1821. ERRATUM. Page 115, 1. 14.
