Which was followed with a collection for the propagation of the Gospel. And is now published at the desire of several ministers, and other gentlemen, who heard it; to whom it is humbly dedicated. By Samuel Phillips, M.A. and Pastor of the South Church in Andover. [Two lines of Scripture texts] N.B. Some things, for want of time, were omitted in preaching, but are here inserted in their proper places. - Phillips, Samuel, 1690-1771
