4to. 42pp, but lacking the half title. Disbound, light to moderate foxing. Good to Good plus. In this post-Revolutionary Election Sermon, the first in Connecticut after the close of the War, Huntington says, "When a British King became a tyrant, and the Parliament a band of despots, and would be content with nothing less than to bind a great part of the empire in chains of perpetual slavery.When they plunged their daggers in the breasts of an innocent people, and called upon us the savages of the wilderness, with all their infernal massacres, our feelings were greatly changed. We once loved Britain most dearly; but Britain the Tyrant, we could not love; our souls abhorred her measures; when matters were pushed thus far, we desisted from all our humble prayers to deaf ears and unrelenting souls. We rose from the dust where we had long been prostrate-- our breaths glowed with noble ardor-- we invoked the God of our fathers, and we took the field." The religious persecutions of Europe "served, in the Providence of God, to bring into this land people of the best principles and morals." Evans 18530. ESTC 12422.
