Excerpt from The Years of Many Generations Considered: Two Sermons, Preached in Boylston, Massachusetts, October 17 and 24, 1852, Giving a History of the Congregational Church and Ministry in Said Town, and Also Embracing Many Facts Relating to the First Settles of the Place This seems to settle the question as to the peculiar faith of the Church in Lancaster at the time of Mr. Harrington's ministry, which begun in 1748. Mr. Har rington himself was probably not quite as Calvinistic as his church, but even he exhibited his opposition to Arminianism by voting against Mr. Rogers, an Armin ian preacher in Leominster. In reference to the Church in Shrewsbury, with which the people of this place were more generally and more intimately connected, it was decidedly Calvinistic. In their covenant, adopted in the year 1723, they use this clear and decisive lan guage, We are of the judgment that the whole of the well known Westminster Catechism, as explained by Calvinistic divines, contains a just summary of Chris tian doctrines, as revealed in God's holy word.
