One member of the Continental Congress, Silas Deane, said of Duché:

One member of the Continental Congress, Silas Deane, said of Duché:

<blockquote>The Congress met, and opened with a Prayer made by the Rev. Mr. Deshay [Duché] which it was worth riding one hundred miles to hear. He read the Lessons of the day, which were accidentally extremely applicable, and then prayed without book about ten minutes so pertinently, with such fervency, purity and sublimity of style and sentiment, and with such an apparent sensibility of the scenes and business before us, that even Quakers shed tears. The thanks of the Congress were most unanimously returned him by a select honorable committee.<ref>[http://www.silasdeaneonline.org/documents/doc09.htm S. Deane to Elizabeth Deane
