Plis Lordship has been pleased to encourage Religion, and discountenance Vice in the said Province by Proclamation, and has used his utmost endeavours to promote the Public Worsliip of God, and train up Youth in the Doctrine and Discipline of the Church of England, particularly in the city of New- York, and liath contributed to the building a French chm-ch. And since the death of the late minister of the French Congregation, resolves to use his interest to introduce a French Minister that shall have Episcopal ordination and conform to the constitution of the church.

His Lordship hath been also highly instrumental in enacting a law for establisliing a Latin free school, and to endow it with a salary of Fifty pound per Annum, to which station his Lordship hath preferred the ingenious M^" George Muirson, who for sometime discharged that function with approbation & Success.

Two other Schools are hkewise established in this City by his Excellency's care, and by these and other means, the church daily increaseth, and it is to be hoped, if God pleases to continue his excellency in the Administration of this Government, this Church is in a fair way of becoming the greatest Congregation upon the continent.

We are willing with much submission to represent to the Honourable Society, how that excellent design of theirs in supplying us with a Catechist might have their pious endeavors better served, if instead of the pious and deserving M^ Ehas Neau, who was brouglit up a Merchant and in good business, the Worthy and ingenious M^" Muirson, who is now going for England in the hopes of being admitted into Holy Orders, were appointed for that purpose. M' William Yesey might be assisted
