Published ordination sermons


Wallin published four sermons from various ordinations.
In 1755 he preached an ordination sermon for Samuel Burford (1726-1768), who became the minister of Little Prescott Street, Goodman's Fields, until his early death 13 years later.
In 1762 he preached an ordination sermon (to the people, Gill preached to the pastor) for Walter Richards from Birmingham who came to another London Baptist church, Devonshire Square, in that year. Sadly, things did not work out and in less than two years Richards was gone. He apparently went to Cork in Ireland.
In 1766 John Reynolds (1731-1792) came to London, to Cripplegate, from Wiltshire, and Wallin preached at the ordination.
In 1768 Abraham Booth (1734-1806) succeeded Burford at Little Prescott Street and Wallin was again involved in the ordination. (Pic above Booth).
