There are extant printed copies of the sermons which he wrote on the occasion of the great earthquake in 1727, the first of which he delivered only a few hours prior to the event, from the text, 'The day of trouble is near.' In this sermon he expresses a foreboding that something terrible is about to happen. In the evening came the violent shock which threw the people of the town into the utmost terror. Afterwards recalling the sermon of their minister they felt that he was possessed of the gift of true prophecy, and, though not to his own liking, he became commonly known as 'The prophet.'" The third meeting-house was erected in 1675, near the site of the old one. By an order of the town all the inhabitants of more than twenty years of age were required to assist in its raising, During Mr. Gookin's ministry, in 1719, the fourth church edifice was erected. It was first finished with one pew for the minister's family. Rev. Nathaniel Gookin was the pastor from 1710 to 1734. tombstone reads: "he was a judicious divine, a celebrated preacher, a most vigilant and faithful pastor, a bright ornament of learning and religion, an excellent pattern of piety, charity and hospitality." children 1711-34: John, Nathaniel, William, Thomas, Simon, Daniel, Dorothy, Hannah, child, Abijah, Samuel, Ann, John - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
