Whereof it appears, that Birgert Mynders, our one Trustee having sold his Land too, he being the last of they, there settled Lutheran Inhabitans on the 2190 Acres, and he being removed at the Walenkill, and our second Lutheran Trustee being one of our Tenants upon the Glebe : the new Inhabitans think to be master of the Glebe, and have lockt up the Church there, meaning that your most humble petitioner, nor the said old Trustees, not have any Eight at the Glebe, for want of Lutheran settled Inhabitans upon the 2190 Acres, althougli there live as Tenants upon the Glebe and there about, on both Side of the River, more then thirty Families of our Protestant Confession, and higher at Bacliwaik a thirty Families more. Therefore as in the former Petition Your Excellencies ordering and Will is humbly prayd for, that the said 500 Acres of Laud may be granted unto our Church in New York for the Use Benefit and Behoof of the Families round about Quassaik, although the not are settled Inhabitans upon the 2190 Acres, that they may there Congregate at Quassaik Glebeland or upon any conveniant Place, and may have theu- old and own Trustees under them in Corporation with tlie Chm-ch of New York, in the End they may perforrae their Sacred Service without En vie Hatred and Scandal. And we shall ever pray &c Michael Christian Knoll Protestant
