DescriptionThe letter reports a funeral sermon preached by Mr. Rogers in the afternoon. This might be the funeral sermon for Mr. Mayor, reported in this letter. Shower reports that he preached at Salter's Hall in the morning to prepare for Mr. Rogers's sermon. The letter also discusses matters such as the appointment of a Tuesday lecturer to replace Mr. M. (Mayor?). Shower also reports that Chewning Blackmore and Mr. Rogers are to meet Dr. Bates and Mr. Howe to consult about a particular dispute. "I preach & pray, & talk for peace, & mutual Forbearance" he writes. The details of the letter support his view that the Church is "divided, defiled, shattered."
