Vita

Filius fabri Universitatis Yalensis Scholam Divinitatis in New Haven frequentavit. Quod institutum directo viros in munera spiritualia paravit; ibi notionibus Timothei Dwight se imbuit quae totam vitam moverent.^[2] Absolutorio accepto anno 1799 munere parochiali East Hampton in Insula Longa functus est. Notus factus est autem anno 1806 homelia de rixis mortiferis inter Alexandro Hamilton et Aaron Burr habita. Quattuor annis post calvinismum complexus est. Anticatholicismo favebat.

Cum anno 1818 politici separationem inter ecclesiam et rem publicam introducere vellent, acerrime contra pugnabat. Sed bienno post vidit divisionem istam claram numerum fidelium auxisse et decisionem laudavit.^[3]

Anno 1832 rector Seminarii theologici Lane in Cincinnati factus est, ubi presbyterianismus praevalebat. Anno 1851 Bostoniam iit anno 1856 reversurus in Brooklynium ubi usque mortem vitam degebat. Semper contra intemperantiam in potu alcoholico pugnabat.
