The subject was revived in 1758, but, " being a time of war and great expenses," it was dropped, and was not again taken up until 1766. Two years later the building, which was of brick, and which stood just north of Mr. Prang's residence on Centre Street, was ready for use, con- tinuing in occupation until 1831. During the siege, the inmates having been removed, a company of provincial soldiers was quartered here. Among the distinguished natives of Roxbury during this period was John Wise, " th...e most powerful and brilliant prose writer produced in this ROXBURY IN THE PROVINCIAL PERIOD. 35 1 country during the colonial time." He was the son of Joseph and Mary (Thompson) Wise; was baptized in Roxbury, Aug. 15, 1652; graduated at Harvard College in 1673, and was minister of the Second Church, Ipswich, from 1680 till his death, April 8, 1725. His zeal for civil and religious liberty, already referred to, received further illustration in his Church's Quarrel Espoused, a work of great literary merit and " a master specimen of the controversial art," published in 1710 in answer to Questions and Proposals by the Mathers.
