In answer to the VIpii; Article : that the Dutch Sdiool is not taken Care of, to the Ruin of the Dutch Education, we say, that we have at present and for twelve years last past, have employed M'^ Whelp, who was sent for to Holland as a School Master & Catechist ; he keeps a School constantly open receives Payment from us for teaching the poor Cliildi-en of the Congregation to the number of thirty, wliich number never was compleated ; he is a Person very well qualified to catechise & teach a School, and we pay him a very handsome Salary for his Service, insomuch that his Place is coveted by others. It has been insinuated to some of our Congregation, that if M»' Van der Sman could be restored as a Catechist and M"" Stoutenburgh have M^ Whelp's Place, all would be well, -- Tlie first cannot be done, from the Cliaracter above given ; the latter cannot in Honour be agreed to, as Mr. Whelp is beyond all Comparison, better qualified, and was encouraged to come from Holland by the then ruhng Consistory.

To the Vllph: Article we say, that as it was thought proper to call an English Minister, it must be presumed, that he was to preach in one of the Churches ; the Consistory thought proper that English should be preached, only once every Lord's Day in the usual Time of Divine Service in one of the Churches, and directed that to be, in the new Church. In the old Church English is not preached at all, but two Dutch Sermons every Sabbath, and one Dutch Sermon in the New ; sb that there are three Dutch Sermons to one in EngMsh, on the usual Time altho' the English Hearers are three to one at least.
