He had been in Town eight Days, and preach’d 16 times in the New Building, besides private Exhortations, &c. The next Morning he set out in order to preach in several Places on both sides the River, and then embark for Georgia on board the Sloop Savannah, which went down the River on Monday last, expecting to meet him at Reedy-Island or Lewes-Town.
