1798 THOMAS ANDROS. God's Sovereignty to be Trusted in Sorrow. American Revolutionary Soldier

Very rare sermon by Thomas Andros [1759-1845]. He enlisted as a privateer in 1781, but was captured and confined on the prison ship, Jersey in New York. He escaped and his account of the time is an important period history. He then studied theology and became pastor at Berkley. He was vehemently anti-Federalist, calling Thomas Jefferson and Madison traitors. He was suspicious of any encroachment on States Rights. 

Andros, Thomas. A Reference, not only of Good but of the Evil that Befalls us in Life, to the Hand of God an Essential Principle of Piety. A Sermon, Preached to the Congregational Society in Berkley, Sept. 30, 1798. Providence, R. I. Bennett Wheeler. 1798. 26pp.

Good - with cloth reinforcement; a bit foxed and worn. Rare.
