The Preachers listed chronologically are Thomas Hayter 1755 James Johnson 1758 Anthony Ellis 1759 Richard Newcome 1761 John Hume 1762 Philip Yonge 1765 William Warburton 1766 John Ewer 1767. In addition to their Sermons the pamphlets print the Society's Charter its Proceedings over the preceding year names of members and donors; the names of the Society's missionaries in Canada the American Colonies and the West Indies with their narrative reports on their work including conversions of Indians and Negroes; and a list of the Bishops and Deans who have preached before the Society beginning in 1701. The form of a bequest to the Society is usually printed at the end. The Society's efforts in the American colonies aroused great resentment among some leading American clergy particularly Charles Chauncy and Jonathan Mayhew who viewed its activities as attempts to establish the Church of England in the New World and to destroy the democratic organization of American churches. Their resistance during the 1760's paralleled political developments which would produce the American Revolution. Certainly the Sermons reflect the high-water mark of British self-assurance. Bishop Hume describes "the real state of the multitudes-- a set of thoughtless illiterate untutoured creatures." Warburton's 1766 Sermon "a statement of British manifest destiny." Gephart dismisses objections of non-Episcopalians to the Society's mission: Americans suffer from the "outrageous folly" of "Freethinking." They are "a People where wealth and Civil Faction have as usual inflamed religious zeal." And the Society of Jesus has "immerged themselves in the worst part of civil intrigues." At the same time he and his colleagues unequivocally denounce "the infamous traffic for Slaves" which "directly infringes both divine and human Law." They are "endowed with all our Faculties possessing all our qualities but that of colour; our BRETHREN both by Nature and Grace." HAYTER: ESTC T47758. JOHNSON: Goldsmiths' 9409. Sabin 36223.
