My Lortl, we most devoutly wisli tliat we could say more of tlie pr(^gress of the Cliurch in this city, that we coukl tell your L''sliip that Her Majesty's Royal benefactions seconded by your L'' ship's Kiglit Reverend Predecessor and the ca}e of some of our Excellent Governours had met with the desired success, it is true indeed My Lord (and we rejoice to say it) that we have here a thriving Cliurch of the estabblished worship, that the same cliurch enjoys a charter with ample priviledges, ynd that our minister is made happy in his function by a large stipend here and tiie enjoyment of a certaine Ifarme called the Queen's flkrme which his Excellence Brigadier Hunter lias consented the Church shall possess during Ids stay in this Government, out of which M'' Vesey is allowed =£20 p annum, which in all with perquisites is computed at X300 per annum.

My L(n-d, tlie reputation and interest of this clnirch (on the conduct of wliose members more particularly the dissenters have a very watchfuU.eye) being very dear to us and of the greatest importance to our present and future state, we humbly beg your L^'sliips leave to goe a little lather in the account of it titan its present condition, that your L^ship may judge whether at this day we l-.ad not better adhere strictly to our charter, and the antient rules by which till very lately we have walked, thftn by altering ouj- conduct introduce such innovations as may end iu divisions fatal to us, and such as our posterity will lind many difficultys to reconcile.
