Abstract

Occasioned by a sermon preached by Thomas Story, Sept. 16, 1711, urging the Quakers to pay the tax for the expedition to Canada in 1711. Attributed to William Rakestraw by J.D. Marietta in "William Rakestraw: pacifist pamphleteer and party servant." Pennsylvania magazine of history and biography 98 (1974): 53-57. Erroneously attributed to Thomas Maule by Evans. Andrew Bradford is suggested as printer by Wilberforce Eames. See Jones, M.B. "Thomas Maule, the Salem Quaker, and Free Speech in Massachusetts Bay, with Bibliographical Notes." Essex Institute Historical Collections LXXII (1936): 1-42. Evans suggests Jacob Taylor as printer. READEX NOTE: Title page not filmed.
