September 19, 1745

1745 September 19 (Thursday).  A Public Fast on Occasion of the Warr lately Declar’d against the Indians, both at the Eastward, and Westward, and great Apprehensions that the 6 Nations, The Iroquois, viz. Mohawks etc. who have been from Early Times in Alliance with us, would break forth against us.  A.M. I preach’d on 2 Chron. 20.12.  P.M. on Heb. 6.7.8.  May it please God to accept the Solemnity and bless and prosper his holy Word for our awakening and saving Benefit!
