the third of a sermon -

The [underscore] Lessons:[underscore closed] the same liberty
to be given: any fifteen consec
-utive verses. By the length of
the lessons & the [underscore]variety[underscore closed] of the
subjects of them, edification is
lost or lessened. This proposal
as to the Lessons, & as I think the

The [underscore]Litany:[underscore closed] this to be
introduced at the minister’s option
after the versicles “The Lord be with
you etc. omitting the Collect for
Peace, for Grace & for the President
in which case in the Petition
in the Litany: “That it may
please thee to bless and preserve
all Christian rulers & magistrates,
he should add “especially the
President of the Confederate
States – the Governor of this state
& all in authority.
