[accounts of enemy troops entering the town, burning
buildings, and injuring and killing some inhabitants] Last
Sunday evening, about 8 o'clock, a party of the enemy landed
at Rahway and carried off near a dozen of the inhabitants.
The church in town not intimidated nor discouraged by the
barbarous impiety of the enemy, met last Sabbath, when Mr.
Caldwell preached to them from l. Pet,i.7. and Gal.vi.9 and
sung the following verses:
With flames they threaten to destroy
The children in their nest,
"Come, let us burn at once they cry,
"The temple and the priest."
