Friday last, being the day appointed for the opening of St.
Peter's Church in this city, the officiating clergy, and
several of their brethren, together with the church wardens
and vestry-men, met at Christ-Church, from whence they
walked in regular procession to the Governor's house, and,
being there joined by his Honour, and some members of his
council, they went on to St. Peter's, where an animated and
well-adapted sermon was preached . . . [12 lines]
Every thing was conducted with the utmost decency, order
and solemnity; and after sermon, the words of the text,
which had been previously composed into an anthem, were
elegantly sung by a number of ladies and gentlemen, to the
vast satisfaction of everybody present.
