1776 JOHN FLETCHER. The Bible and the Sword. The Appropriateness of Battle and Fasting in Combination Fine Binding and Reported at London whereuntoA fascinating sermon first preached in 1776 by John Fletcher at the onset of the American Revolution. In it, he grants Price's argument that the American Colonies are people of greater prayer and personal piety than those of England. That, Fletcher asserts, is all the more shameful in that the Americans are still wrong and England still correct. Fletcher calls for a national repentance; that their soldiers be sent with prayer, fasting, and repentance.
