The Controversy between Mr ffreeman and Mr Antonides concerning the Churches in your County looking now with a fairer aspect towards a Reconciliation then hitherto they have ; to the end that nothing may be done to impede so good a w^ork, I desire you to permit M^ ffreeman and M'" Antonides to preach to-morrow in the Respective Churches wlierein in Course it. is their Turn to preach and that no molestation be given to either of them therein, having good hopes that before tlie next Sunday every tiling i.vill be so disposed that this unhappy dispute will be accommodated to the Satisfaction of both those Gentlemen, and to the general! approbation of all their Congregations, whereby their present divisions may be healed, and the disagreing party s united into one mind. And that no misinterpretations may be made hereof on either hand, I desire you to let each party and their respective Congregations know that I am so farr from determining any one point in dispute that the Right of either of them is as entirely reserved to them as it was before and that after to morrow no further use be made hereof.

I desire you to tell M^ Antonides and M"" ffreeman that I would speak wuth them here on Monday next. I am Sincerely

Gentlemen
