Jonah iii. q. ~ v HOEVER attentively confiders the State of our .‘/eg‘f public Affairs, and the Signs of the prefent T'imx, i ¥ will doubtlefs be pleafed with the Frefo ferious Call of the Citizens of London, to the Inhabitants of the #'Great- Britain. jiftrefs of our Nation, lately threatned with an Inva- oaning under the Burthen of the prefent War, atten- ded with ‘he Lofs of Minorca, and ourill Succefs in America, have 1ajuft Alarm to his MajEesTY, the Parliament, dnd 4i{:1ifry, and all the fenfible Part of the Kingdom. The iormidable Conjunttion of the great Houfes of Bour- 8on and Aufiria, and other Popith Powers in Europe, aided By the Emprefs of Ruffa, againft a Proteftant Prince in @ermany, prefents a threatning Afpeét upon all the Nations and Churches of the Reformation. And what will be the End of thefe Wonders, God only can tell ! The Earth is vifibly guaking. Great and important E- vents are like to be the Iffue of the prefent Syftem of Di- vine Providence ; and ‘perhaps the Liberties of Europe, the Proteftant Religion, and the Safety of Grear Britain, and s Dependencies, were never expofed to more eminent Danger, than in the'prefent Day. ’ “ - We, in America, have already very fenfibly felt the fha- o king of the Rod of the Almighty, in the Advantage that He \ m%vcn our Enemies ;— by the Defeat of Col. Wafbing- fon 3—the Lofs of our Fort on the Obio ;—the dreadful O- g :rihrow of General Braddock, and his Army :—the horrid wghter of all his wounded Men ;—the barbarous Murder lf vat Numbers of our Borderers, cf which, every Poft, ill brings frefh Intelligence ;—and of the fhocking Terror, 9 which the Reft furvive the Slaughter of their Neighbours, sho are obliged to get their Bread in the Peril of their Lives by Reafon of the Sword of the Wildernefs.—The aftonith- eg Lofs of the important Fort, and Pafs at Ofavego, with a Vil Treafure in Artillery, Shipping, Ammanition and Stores, tuded with the Captivation of about 1800 of our Men, /the Miurder of all the Sick in that Garrifon. If we 14 o thcle the laying wafte of great Dast of thefe Provin- -+ 3 the Evacuation of a vaft Exient of Territory, within \is Majelty’s undoubted Dominions ; our Exclufion at Lakes, and entire Lofs of the Fur-Trade, eftern Indians : 1f we fiill add the heavy Pref- iz upon our northern Counties, by Milicary Duty, the pencral Load of Taxes which have anticipated our fiuds for Vears to come ; the Dilcouragements on our K. (Landry, and the general, tho’ meceffary Embargo, upon v 1iade 3 all fheww that the Hand of God lies beawy upon us. {¢ are fome of the Evils which we in dmerica feel : have we to fear ? I fupprefs the Anfwer, left fhould imagine that I alarm you with groundlefs Ap- «hienfion:, and fuggef to our Enemies, the Means to com- Jiain. T had rather lead your Attention to the ! our Miferies, and the Means to remove them. hat the Anger of Heaven is kindled againft us, is very o evident, that, ’tis faid, the very Indians findln.g our People their refiftlefs Prey, remark it, and tell their Captives, * Tkat the God of the Englifhmen bas Sforlaken th:m | And why are all thefe great Evils come upon us ? Surely it behoves us, diligently to enquire, and ferioudly to Ky the Maiter to Heart. Has not our fraudulent. Treatment of the Indians, been one Caufe of our Calamities ? Has not our {candalous Neg- le& of their Converfion been another } Would rot a few Thoufands charitably beftowed in that Way, have been fa- ved with compound Intereft in this Day ? Have not thole Provinces which have done moft to fave our Credit with the Natives, and to convert their Souls to Chrift, been molt re- markably fpared? I there one Chrittian Indian that has imbrued his Hands in our Blood ? INay, have they not fled from their Paoan Diothren, as their, as well as our Enemies, and toker Sanctuns) anmong us? Befides thefe Sins (‘which in the {&ricteft Proprety we call our own) are pot moft of thie Sins of Grrat Brituin to be found among us ? Areany wanting but what cur Poverty forbids 2 Does not Infidelity prevail, and Religion begin to grow ot of Fathion among us? Wheré is the Faith aud Purity of our firft Reformers ? What is become of the religious Zeal and devout Fervour of the firt Planters in Nerth America ? Was ever the Honour of Gob lefs regarded s his Providence lefs denied, or lefs de- pended on, than in (his Day ? Were our €briflian and Fro- teflant Privileges cw\ lefs efieemed, and the great Duties of § Piety more nealeéled § and as a Confequence of all this, what L Period can be affivptc vherein there has appeared a moré Wuniverfal Corr: n o i%e Manners of out People? While G:n Lee. (miting’us by our Amichriftian and BPagar Ere~ ¢ f have =+ acknowledged his Hand ? Whilé g'F < ias bee . 1yl ating (- efrokes of his Rod, have we hum- pled ous i vl oefore I4inhk Have repented of our national, - &8 periinal . s againkt Heaven ¢ Have we - Didorders ? Have we drop- di in which we fic g his Grace and Mercy, hope for, and expeét all onr Delive- rance and Saccels from him ¢ 'Till this is our Cafe, what Realon have we to expeét the ¢ivine Proteétion or Blefiing ? or that God’s Hand will not be fretched out fiill againtt us, in farther Marks of his Difpleafure ? The Arrows of God’s %uiver are not fpent ; dnd 1f we continue to deny him the ights of his Sovereignty, and the Honours of his Providence, we have great Realon to fear, that he will diftrain them from us, by further Execation of his fudgments. I folemuly declare, that I am, and have been more afraid of the Sins of the Times, than 7 the Strength and Force of our Enemies ! Could we be brovght to a due Sen{e of God's Sovereignty and Dominion ever us, an Acknowledgment of our Dependance upon him, a religious Submiffion of Soul to him, and a general Reformatiof of aur publick zad perfo- nal Vices and Diforders ; I verily bélieve the Scene would foon change, and our Enemies would be made to fail or flee before us. : Can it be doubted, what a Proteffant People nught to do under fuch Circumflances as ours ? Surely we ought to awake, repent, reform, arife and call upoa our God. To this End, the London frefb [erious Call to ibe Country, is moft {eafona- ble, the Defign is molt falutary ; and fhould the Advicethere- in given, be complied with, not enly by the good People of Great Britain and Jreland, but alfo by us in America, it would be a moft happy Omen, that we fhould foon be deli- vered from all our Diitreffes, an< that the Schemes which we know have been long formed by our Enemies, to ruin thefe Colonies, and which have of late Years been vigoroufly pro- {fecuted, will be finally blafted ; and that our Enemies them- felves will at length be made to fall into that very £iz which they for many Years have moft induftrionfly been digging for us ! < Never had we a more urgent Call, to folemn Prayer and Humiliation before God, and Dependence upon kim, than now Our ALL 75 at Stake.. This Year may accomplith our Deliverance, or compleat our Ruin. Should we {urwive it as Captives to France, we may be reduced to a Life more terri- ble than Death, defpoiled of our Religion, Laws, Liberty, and Property. Our Souls may be inflaved to the Slaves of Rome. What Briton, what Proteftant, can bear the Thought ! Let us therefore betake ourfelves betimes for Refuge to aur only Sanltuary : Seek the LoRp while be may be found ; call upon bim avbile be is near. Let the Confideration of our public and perfonal Sins, humble us in the divine Prefence. Let the Infeances of the divine Mercy, hnd Geodnefs, which we, ftill wartoke of, Yean we o5 Repuiance: “Lec she Deiive-\ rances that God has often wrough't for our Nazion, encourage’ our tlope aud Truft in him. Let us never forget our De- liverance from the Duke D’ Anwifle, and his formidable Ar- mada, when God faved us by his own immediate Hand, from a {weeping Deftruction, at a Time when all human Refuge failed us. Remember, how much Prayer to God awvailed in that Day, Letus no more vanly confide in Man, in the Superiority of our Numbers, our often boalted Twen- ty to One ! God will curfe fuch Pride ; nay, he has curfed it already ! Unlefs God be with us, Numbers will avail us nothing. They will only ferve to increafe the Triumph of qur Enemies ; let us know that cur Help is in God alone, To ufe the beft Means is our Daty, but the Succefs of all de- pends upon God : In hkis Name let us lift up our Banners. Let all that fear God in this Province, cbr,iecrate the Hour propofed, once every- Week, to all the Purpofes recommen- ded in the London Call ; and may the fame picus Praétice fp::ad through all thefe Northern Colowier, and the wide ex- tent of the Britifb Dominions : Then may ave bope that God) ewen ony own God, awill blefs us, 2nd loon take away our Re- proach from among the Heathen round about us. . And to cur Prayers for our King and Nation, &3¢. let us add dne Petition for the King of Prussia, 7bat his Bow may abide in Strength.—And that after the long Series of our ill Succefles, God may at Length for Chrift's Sake, forgive our Sins ; deliver us from our Enemies ; go forth with our Armies and Fleets ; and lead on our Generals and Comman- ders to Viétory and Triumph ;-—that we may enjoy a quiet Habitation in this Land, and fit down under our own Vines and our own Fig-Trees, aed have none to make us afraid !

HILE I was in America, 3 Difeafe, attended with Ulcers in the Throat, raged among the People in that Country, and I believe more mortal than the Peftilence ever was in any Part of the World. I was told that of the firft Forty that had it only one recovered, Ver- haps this great Mortality was occafioned as muth by Mal- Praftice, as the Malignity of the Difeafe. Being acquainted with a Phyfician who had good Succefs in curing that Dif- temper, he was fo kind as to acquaint me with the Symptems of the Difeafe, and his Method of Cure. . He told me that it generally began with a flow Fever, and feeble Pulle, cr eLanguor and Laffitude for a Day or two, then a foreThroat and white Spots appeared near the Uvula and Guller, which if negletted a few Days, coiroded «nd fpread fo faft, chat they foon became incurable. For the Cure, He direéted me firft to purge with Calomel, then tefiz ke Borax, Bole Amenic, and Sanguis Draconis, of each ecual Quantity ; andy when finely pofrder’d. toa O 2l of an Qungcofr}xat Mix- Nume. 40} GAZETTE, SIS RRAI LSSV SISSAISANLLRERI Foreign and Domeftick. B T p— each an Obnce, Loaf Sugat two Ounces, Borax and Balfam of Sulphur, of each half an Ounce ; mix this to a Balfam with the Yolk of anEgg ; with a Rag faftened to a Skewer,. to cleanfe and anoint the Ulcers after every Gargling. ‘L furnithed myfelf with thefe Medicines, and hid foon an Oce cafion to try their Efficacy. I had a Servant who appeared dull and unallive ; as he complained of a fore Throat, I ex-~ arnined his Mouth and found feveral white Spots near the Rdot of nis Tongue and Gullet. I prefently gave him 1§ Grains of Calomel, ufed the Gargle and Balfam as dire®ed every two Hours, both Night and Day, by which he was - foon well. My Neighbour had a Negro Man feiz'd with the fame Diftemper, who thinking the Paia in the Throat had proceeded ouly from a Cold, it was neglefted fora Day | or two ; then on examining his Mouth, tae Spots appearesx larger, and of a darker Colour than thofe of my Servant. ' On rubbing the yellow Spots with the Ba!fam, fome of them came off, and difcover’d Holes which would eoatain a pretty - latge Pea. Had he been neglefted a few Hours longer, [ believe he would have been paft Cure; but by a conftant Ufe of the foremention’d Medicines he recovered. Several in the Neighbourhood who negleied a timely Application died, but I do not remember to have heard of any one who regularly made ufe of the Methods which I have mentioned, | as foon as ever the Spots appeared, but recovered. } P — pes e From the New-York Mercury, June 27. 15 My CouNTRrRYMEN, : WHILE our cruel and crafty Enemy the Frencs, arg ] ruthing apon us from every Side, brandifhing the Sword with Infolence even within our own Territories & Can we the Pofterity of thofe noble Heroes, wo for the Sake of Liberty trufted themfelves to the licentions Waves, | endured almoft innumerable Hardfhips, Fatigues and Dan- gers, in a howling Wildernefs ? Can we, I fay, their Pofic-;'gh rity, remain in a fcandalous Inaion, while we fee our Coun< try ran1ack’d, Wives kill'd, innocent Children murder’d and aged Parents deftroyed, as we evidently muft do, if we re- fufle to exert our utmolt for the Defence of our Country Should any one go into the Field, and there baldly fell hi Life on the Bed of Honeur, fhall he then be forsotten @ N¢ he fhall be enrolled in the Annals of eternzl Fadna, his Namg fhall be handed down from Gene :neration, no fhall it be obliterated as long as the Toon, or Star fhall continue to grace yon Caropy of i v ; then cw refufe our Affiftance when our Couatry conclens us if the Enemy got Foficiion of, yel fave our '/ Yoo - S0 be doom’d to perpetual Slayery, which to an Fnglithman 1 worfe than Death. May thofe whoare gone irto the Field be incenfed at the Barbarity of the Enemy, and take the) Field with an undaunted Refolution, to tonguer or die, May they be brave | be ftrong ! be conrageous ! And then (as they are in 2 good Caufe) will the Lord God of Armie protect and defend them, in the Day in which they fall be called to face the Enemy in the Field. Let us who remain free from the Dangers of a Camp, and for whofe Pefence our Heroes have march’d into the Field chearfully obey our Rulers, by deduting from our Subftance fich a Part as they fhall think neceflary to defray the Chargzs of an expenfive Campaign.—Finally, may we all, and ever one of us, be poflels’d of Loyalty to our Sovereign, and Love to our Country, which always was, and now is, thd Chara&eriftick of an Englifhmen.
