3 Dr WILLIAM DODD’s ADDRESS

To the Rev Mr, Ordinary of Newgate.

Reverend Sir,

He following Address owes its present public appearance to you. I read it to you after it was composed, and you thought it proper to be delivered, as was intended. You heard it delivered, and are pleased to think that its publication will be useful.To a poor and abject worm, like myself, this is asufficient inducement to that publication; and I heartily pray unto God, that, in your hands, it may frequantly and effectually administer to the instruction and comfort of the miserable!”

I am, dear Sir,

With my sincerest thanks for your humane

And friendly attention,

Your truly sorrowful.

And much afflicted brother in Christ,

Friday, June 6. 1777
