Providence of God Asserted in a Northamptonshire Parish
Transcribed from Clarke's Lives of English Divines, this note dated May 9 1806 recounts Hugh Clark's ministry at Oundle Northamptonshire. It describes villagers devoutly profaning Sundays with Whitonales and morris-dancing, their obstinacy against admonition, a leader of the dances dying suddenly, Clark's sermon on Sabbath holiness, and a smith's shop catching fire after sparks ignited thatch, illustrating divine judgment and calls to repentance.
