Selected Sermons of Jonathan Edwards by Jonathan Edwards
The prophet Jeremiah (chap. xxv. 3), puts the people in mind how long he had labored among them in the work of the ministry: 'From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord came unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking.' I am not about to compare myself with the prophet Jeremiah; but in this respect I can say as he did, that 'I have spoken the word of God to you unto the three and twentieth year, rising early and speaking.' It was three and twenty years, the 15th day of last February, since I have labored in the work of the ministry, in the relation of a pastor to this church and congregation.
