Above fourteen years ago, Mr Rogers, then Curate of St. Paul’s, preached the pure Gospel with general acceptance. A great awakening began, and continually increased, till the poor weathercock turned Baptist; he then preached the absolute decrees with all his might, but in a while discourse the wind changed again, and he turned and sunk into the German whirlpool. How many souls has this unhappy man to answer for!
