Rev Dr Joseph Sewall

  • Colonial American

Reverend Dr Joseph Sewall "was a strenuous asserter of our civil and ecclesiastical charter-rights and priviledges.... He knew they were the purchase of our forefathers at the expence of much labor, blood, and treasire [sic]. He could not bear the thought of their being wrested out of our hands. He esteemed it our duty, in all wise, reasonable, and legal ways, to endeavour the preservation of them. . ." (Chauncy, Discourse Occasioned by the Death of ... Joseph Sewall [Boston, 1769], p. 26).
