My Lord we think ourselves much injured in tliis affair, and what is of the last consequence we think that the Churcli will soon feel the effects of this proceeding, if it has not already done so, for on tlie last Easter tuesday when the Communicants after service went up to the Altar according to custom to proceed to a new clioice, after four candidates were put up for Church Wardens, tlie body of the Communicants divided themselves to either liand as they designed to vote, the Rector being within the Rails, and seeing us who are the subscribers all on one side said loudly, I hope you doe not intend to bring down the officers of the Garrison upon us. We replyd (some few of us haveing tlie honour to serve Her Majesty here) that wee did not understand what he meant by tli« words before expressed, that we were Communicants in the same Church, and that we hoped he did not intend by the word You to distinguish Us as a separate congregation, for such a division would be fatal to the Church, and any tiling that looked like a design that way would better become the mouth of an enemy than that of our Spiritual Pastor. After some other passionate and indiscreet behaviour shewed towards us by this unhappy Gentleman we proceeded to the choice, which (some few^ persons excepted) fell on the meanest sort, for My Lord, it seems the common people haveing seen four of their number chosen in a lawless opposition to four of the best rank in the late private election, were resolved to give this publick demonstration that they thought it high time, and this a fit opportunity to bring more of themselves into a share of power.
