Jonathan entered Yale College in September

1716, and after taking his degree in 1720, remained nearly two years at Yale, preparing for the ministry. In September, 1723, he was elected a tutor in Yale, and in the following year began to act in that capacity, but regigned the post in 1726, in order to become minister at North amp ton, Ma ., where he was ordained Feb. 15, 1727. His various sermons and disquisitions procured for him a_wide reputation. His “ Treatise on Religious Affections’’ was republished in England and Scotland, and won a place for him among the first writers of his sect. After more than 23 years in North amp ton he accepted a call to serve as a mi ionary among the Indians at Stock bridge, Ma . Here he remained six years, exerting himself with an apostolic spirit, and here he composed his famous works on the “ Freedom of the Will,” and on “ Original Sin.”° In 1757 he was chosen president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), and accepted with reluctance owing to his desire to accomplish two great literary enterprises which he had begun long before—a “ History of the Work of Redemption,” and a “ View of the Harmony of the Old and New Testaments.” In January, 1758, he went to Princeton, where he died March, 1758.
