And in case you send any otlier books to be disposed, pray let them only be Dr Beveridges (noAv Bishop of St. Asaph) sermon concerning Common Prayer, a little Book entitled a Christians Way to Heaven,, and one of the Lawfidness of the Common Prayer. No books can be more serviceable than tliey; and I would take care to have tliem scattered tlirough Connecticut Colony to both* Ministers & People, and am apt to beheve they would do service.

As for the deputation the Society now pleased to send me, I am exceeding sorry I can do them no service therein. For the people of this County having generally land of tlieir own, altough they don't v\' ant, few or none of tliem very much abound. Tliere being, besides a settlement belonging to Col. Morris, and another to M^ Philhps, and mine, not any that belong to particular men of any great value in tlie County ; nor are there ten in the whole Coimty but what have been brought over to the Church since I came into the province, that truly, Sir, if we can persuade tliem to build and finish their Churches and Schools, help to maintain their Ministers & School Masters, and fit conveniences for them, it is the most that can be expected till things are better settled, and the Chui'ch a more firm footing among them.

I have not had the liappiness to be in company with Colonel Morris since I received the deputation ; but shall discourse with him concerning that matter when I see him next. I could oifer some few things more to the consideration of the Society, but time won't permit me to enlarge, so I shall reserve it to the next opportunity.
