The Rev" M^' Vesey Rector of Trinity Churcli here had, it seems in compliment to a great man then on this side, taken occasion to use me ill, before he knew me of which I was soon informed after my arrival and for which reason I did all tliat was in the power of man by good oiFices and civilities, which lie was pleased to call constrained, to persuade him into a better opininn of me; His Provocacons increased in the Proportions that my kind usage did (I speak nothing but what is known to t'le wliole Province) and despairing ever to extort a Persecution from me he casts about for another Plot to hurt me, Perswades M Poyer that tliere is danger and a deep design in the Try all tluit I so much prest, by this means he gains these Points, takes an opportunity from me of manifesting my zeal for the Churcli, wliicli he has so often called in Question and gets y^ unwary & least discerning part of the clergy here to set their hands to a ])aper without enquiring into the truth of the matter contained in it, it being mentioned to them as an affair tliat required tlie greatest secrecy & of the last consequence to the Interest of the C'lurch, Thus had this gentleman contrived to put me under a necessity as he thought of either doing an Act of violence in the favour of the Church (whereas the wound given her by an act of that nature in the same case remains smarting to this day) and so unavoidably and deservedly being recalled with disgrace from my Government or of running the hazard of being represented no friend to Her Interest and consequently unworthy to continue in it.
