S.,) 1714, and lost his father in 1716; admitted a servitor of Pembroke College, Oxford, 1733; ordained deacon, 1736; embarked on his first expedition to Georgia, Dec. 23, 1737, and returned at the close of the next year; commenced preaching in the open air, Feb. 17, 1739, and from that time until his death, which occurred at Newburyport, Massachusetts, Sept. 30, 1770, was actively engaged in public, chiefly itinerant, ministrations.

When his strength was failing, he put himself on what he called "short allowance," viz.: preaching only once every weekday and thrice on Sunday. He published a number of journals, sermons, &c., q. v. in Watt's Bibl. Brit.; Bohn's Lowndes, Part 10, 1864, 2904; Cat. Lib. Mass. Hist. Soc., 1860, ii. 598; and some of the authorities subjoined.

Deficient in learning, meagre in thought, and redundant in language as are these discourses, they yet fulfil the one great condition of genuine eloquence. They propagate their own kindly warmth, and leave their stings behind them."-SIR JAMES STEPHEN: Edin. Rev., lxvii. 519, 520; and in Stephen's Miscell. Writings.
