extraordinary manner from his Excellency our Governor his Lady & family who were pleased to favour us with tlielr company at the opening of our new Church & then to contribute largely towards the finishing it which was no doubt one means whereby otliers were moved to do so likewise so that now we have brtjuglit this building to sucli a degree of perfection as tliat we perform divine service in it tho' it is still lar from being complete and we are in great want of a bell, as to Clothes for our Pulpit, Reading Desk and Communion table with a large Bible, Common Prayer Book and Surplice we are furnislied with those that are very decent and comely by the Governors Lady our great friend and patroness --

Now our Church is in a flourishing state & by the blessing of God many are added to it now we are at peace with those several Sectaries that are round about us and I hope that by God's help peace will subsist amongst us --

To sow the seeds thereof shall be my endeavour to be of a loving charitable demeanor to all men of whatever persuasion in matters of Religion shall be (by G(jd's help) my practice that so discharging my duty herein I may contribute my mite to the good of the Ciiurch of Christ, this is the promise of him who begs leave to subscribe himself &,c ^c
