Willard was pastor of the Third Church, Boston from 1678 until his death. The town's first minister John Miller had become ill and, when he died, the congregation asked Willard to stay, and he was officially ordained by them in 1664.[3] Willard preached at Boston's Third Church during the illness of Rev. Thomas Thacher and gave an election-day sermon on June 5. Members of the congregation included a variety of influential members of the colony: John Hull(18 December 1624 – 1 October 1683), Samuel Sewall, Edward Rawson, Thomas Brattle, Joshua Scottow, Hezekiah Usher, and Capt. Samuel Willard; Philip English; John Alden (1692).	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3584.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3584.txt
