A Paffage from M. Whitefield's new Fournal concerning Dr Trapp, and his Sermons now printed.

Sunday April 29, 1739, At Ten, went to Chrift-Church, and heard Dr Trapp preach most vehemently against me and my Friends, upon thefe Words, Be not Righteous over-much, why shouldst thou deftroy thy felf? God gave me great Serenity of Mind. But alas! the Preacher was not fo calm as I wifh'd him. His Sermon was founded upon wrong Sup pofitions (the neceflary Confequence of hearing with other Men's Ears) not to fay there were many direct Untruths in ir; and he argued fo ftrenuouily againit all inward Feelings, that he plainly proved, that, with all his Learning, he knew nothing yet as he ought to know. I pray God rebuke his Spirit, and grant that Sermon may never rise up in Füdgment against

It is not (faid the Marquis de Villarias) that we are in the least afraid of Admi- D ral Haddock's undertaking any thing against the Galleons, we are quite caly in that refpect; but it is to fhew you that your Court, inftead of performing its Promifes, acts altogether contrary to * them.'

There feems to be great Likelihood of a Peace between the Emperor and Turks, according to a Difcourfe of Prince Lichtenftein at Versailles, in thefe Words, 'The Emperor, my Mafter, had not under'taken this War but at the Sollicitation of Ruffia. He has done all he could to employ the Turks in Hungary: But it was impoflibie for him to foresee the fatal · Events which have befallen him; amongst the rest, that of the Plague, aIgainst which the utmoft human Power is infignificant. One need not therefore 'be afraid to advance that his Imperial Majefty is no longer in a Condition to B 'continue the War,, and is under an abfolute Neceffity of making a Peace.'
