By John Partington

A stirring sermon delivered by John Partington, M.A., titled "The Right Improvement Of A Publick Fast," preached at Founders Hall on January 9, 1739/40.

It reflects the sentiments of the time, offering a window into the public's perception of war, national identity, and divine guidance. The text serves as a primary source document for understanding the complex interplay between religion, politics, and warfare during this pivotal historical period.
