Extracts from the Gazette, 1746
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, August 28, 1746.

Last Sunday Evening the Rev. Mr. Whitefield preach’d to a very large Auditory (among whom were many of the principal Persons of this City) a most execellent Sermon on Occasion of the late Victory over the Rebels; in which he set the Mischiefs of Popery and arbitrary Power, and the Happiness the Nation has enjoy’d under the present Royal Family, in the strongest Lights; and pathetically exhorted to Repentance and Amendment of Life in Gratitude for that signal Deliverance. No Discourse of his among us has given more general Satisfaction; nor has the Preacher ever met with a more universal Applause; having demonstrated himself to be as sound and zealous a Protestant, and as truly a loyal Subject, as he is a grand and masterly Orator.
