The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is administered, as it always was in our Church ; in the Forenoon M'' Laidhe preaclies in the New Church ; -- many more Communicants attend that divine Ordinance under his Administration, as he preaches English, than under Dutch preaching, this makes it more proper that he should attend that Ordinance in the New Church ; the Dutch Ministers attend the same Ordinance in the old Church without Interruption, and we do not believe, that the Complainants will take upon themselves to say, that Seats are wanting there, were they incUned to be present.

To the JX^^ : Article we answer, that as both Churches belong to one Congregation, the Consistory of that Congregation have doubtless the sole Direction of both. It is a very great Instance of their Want of Candour, to call the Consistory the English Party; We are of no Party, but act, as far as we are able to judge for the good of the whole : We are all Members in full Communion with all our Ministers ; -- Are all of Dutch Families and had our religious Education in the Dutch Language ; and it may not be improper to observe, that of Sixteen Members, which constitute our Consistory at present (exclusive of the Ministers) only six of them signed the Petition for an English Minister, and one of the remaning ten, signed with the discontented People, the other nine were neuter.

We further beg Leave to inform Your Excellency and the Honourable Eoard that M'' Stoutenburgh, having made it his Business to propagate about Town, that his Party was most numerous, and that he would shew it at the then next Election of Church officers in October last (the Law Suit respecting tlie Right of voting being not then determined) the Consistory for the Satisfaction of the Publick, resolved to give him an opportunity to try what he could make of it, the Result was, that one hundred and fifty six Communicants appeared to join witli the Consistory, a List of which taken and attested by two Publick Notaries we herewith deliver.
