MR. STOUPPE TO THE SECRETARY.

" New Rociieli.e. JrxE 8th, 1750. Rev. Sir : -- " In my former of ye 25th Oct , 1749, I informed you of the religious zeal which the members of New Rochclle church do show on all occasions whenever divine service is performed among them. How they do prefer ye hearing of a sermon to all idle and vain amusements, and had no more severed from ye church by taking up with fanatical notions, contrary to sound doctrine, however current and common such notions had become some time ago; and I do with pleasure acquaint you now, that they are still the same people, very devout, constant and steady members of ye church, and will continue such to the end of their days.
