A SERMON, PREACHED AT THE ORDINATION OF THE REVEREND MR. JOHN MARSH, TO THE PASTORAL CARE OF THE FIRST CHURCH, IN WETHERSFIELD, CONNECTICUT, JANUARY XII, 1774.

New-Haven: Thomas and Samuel Green, 1774. 30pp, with the half title [rubberstamp in blank upper corner] but lacking the final blank. Disbound. Except as noted, Very Good.

Edward Eells gives the Charge, and Samuel Lockwood the Right Hand of Fellowship.
