don's time, the missionary was put into possession accordingly M"^ Urquliart enjoyed it during his time without any dispute as to the legality of his possession, only some tlu-eats he met w^tli upon the arrival of my Lord Lovelace, w^hich soon vanished again by Ms death & the succession of CoF Ingoldsby into the Government who soon allayed the heat of that faction upon the arrival of his now^ Excellency our present Governor (moved thereunto by I know not what Government) they got head again and upon M Foyer's arrival took possession of the Church & parsonage, the parsonage they are still possessed of, but the Church Mf Poyer preaches in again.

There is a clause in the Act of Assembly for sethng the Ministry in tliis Province, which empowers the people to call their Minister, accordingly the Dissenting party of Jamaica have called a Dissenting Minister and entitle him to the parish salary. M"" Poyer has petitioned his Excellency to right him, what satisfaction he had he will undoubtedly inlbrm the Honorable Society in. I hope he will take care to send the two acts of the Province whereby the ministry is settled here, to the Honorable Society, whereby that Honorable & venerable Body may see & judge themselves how justly or unjust he is handled among the Dissenters at Jamaica, I humbly beg leave to present to the Honorable Society the ill consequences that may ensue by this example, if a call from the Dissenting party entitle a Dissenter to be Parish minister, and to the Salary of the parish, then upon the death or removal of the present Licumbent, the vacancies in most parishes will be filled with Dissenters, so will Dissention sit triumphant on the throne supported by the countenance of the Jaws of the Government.
