Abraham Booth (born 1734) died in 1806 and his funerl sermon was preaached by James Dore (1763/4-1825). Dore's sermon was soon published with a memoir composed by John Rippon (1751-1836). In the memoir Rippon includes a footnote that says of Booth
No wonder that the gracious and eminent Mr. Beddome, of Bourton, when speaking of this eminent saint, some years since, should have exclaimed, "Oh, that Abraham Booth's God may be my God."
One would like more detail. In 1769 Booth had become pastor of Little Prescot Street Baptist Church, Goodman's Fields, with whom Beddome has been baptised thirty years before. Perhaps it was said in 1769.
