Boston. Yesterday the Rev. Mr. William Hooper, a gentleman
from Scotland, brought up at the University of Edinburgh,
was ordained pastor of the New and West Church in this town
lately gathered when the Rev. Mr. Foxcroft began with
prayer: Mr. Hooper preach'd from 2 Cor.IV.7 But we have
this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the
power may be of God and not of us. The Rev. Dr. Sewall then
pray'd: The Rev. Mr. Prince read the church-covenant, &c.
Pray'd, gave the charge to the Rev. Mr. Hooper prayed again,
and gave another charge to the church; The Rev. Dr. Colman,
gave the right hand of fellowship: and then the Rev. Mr.
Hoope appointed the XXIII Psalm, and after singing,
dismiss'd the congregation with a blessing.
