Lathrop, John:
A DISCOURSE ON THE ERRORS OF POPERY: DELIVERED IN THE CHAPEL OF THE UNIVERSITY IN CAMBRIDGE, SEPTEMBER 4, 1793, AT THE LECTURE FOUNDED BY THE HONOURABLE PAUL DUDLEY, ESQUIRE. BY... PASTOR OF THE SECOND CHURCH IN BOSTON.
Printed by S. Hall, and sold by J. White, Boston:, 1793
Half title, 32pp. Untrimmed, light soil, Very Good. A list of previous Dudleian lecturers appears in the footnote on page 6. All of them, summarized by Lathrop, treated the evils of the Roman Catholic Church, tending to show that "the church of Rome is that mystical Babylon, that man of sin, that apostate church, spoken of in the New-Testament." Lathrop's mission is to show "that the church of Rome hath usurped powers not given to her by Jesus Christ," who never gave it authority "over the conscience, and over the fortunes of men." The doctrine of Papal supremacy is especially galling, but other aspects of the Church's "civil despotism" are reviewed and condemned as well. FIRST EDITION. Evans 25703. Not in Jenkins.

Lathrop, John:
GOD OUR PROTECTOR AND REFUGE IN DANGER AND TROUBLE. A DISCOURSE, DELIVERED AT THE PUBLIC LECTURE IN BOSTON, ON THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1797. WITH AN APPENDIX, CONTAINING AN ACCOUNT OF SEVERAL DARING ATTEMPTS TO SET FIRE TO THE TOWN AND ROB THE INHABITANTS; TOGETHER WITH HINTS TENDING TO THE SECURITY OF POPULOUS TOWNS AND CITIES, AGAINST THE EVILS TO WHICH THEY ARE MORE PARTICULARLY EXPOSED.
Manning & Loring, Boston:, 1797
Half title, 30pp, [2 blanks]. Bound in modern marbled wrappers. Half title foxed, minor repair to blank base of title leaf, Very Good. An interesting discourse on "some of the dangers and evils, to which large towns and cities are particularly exposed." These include "the calamities of war." Enemies, seeking an adversary's wealness, will attend to its centers of wealth, population, and commerce. Political life is more violent in cities: "men of restless temper and seditious spirits can have frequent communications; and having devised mischief, they can with more expedition and effect execute their purposes." "Infectious and pestilential diseases" abound, for cities' "noxious vapors" breed illness. "Incendiaries and robbers" find cities hospitable, as do "abandoned characters" and "the basest of mankind." Lathrop reports on "the late devastations by fire, in several of the southern States," and in particular the fires which "have found the way to Boston." The recent Boston fire was "occasioned by some wicked persons, who have come among us." One, seized in the act, has been tried, convicted, and is awaiting execution of the death sentence. An appendix lists recent cases of arson and robbery. Despite the dangers of cities, he does not counsel their abandonment. "There are evils in society, and there are evils in a state of nature." With proper social organization-- Lathrop offers a number of ideas for reform-- and a religious spirit, risks can be minimized and advantages enhanced. FIRST EDITION. Evans 32358. Not in Jenkins.
