I. CORINTHIANS VII. 22.

HE THAT IS CALLED BEING FREE, IS

CHRIST'S SERVANT.

THE situation and the duties of bodies of men, like those of individuals, will, in some degree, vary with the course of Time, and the progress of human improvement. This remark, I conceive, eminently applies to us, my brethren, as Protestant Dissenters. I shall therefore avail myself of the present anniversary,* and of the happy change in our civil and political condition, for the purpose of reminding you of our advantages and our obligations.
