These are to certify, that the Rev? William Hanna was regularly appointed to the Pastoral Care of this flock : that he performed the Ministerial Functions for the space of about 5 years amongst us ; and mentained an unblemished Moral & Religiuus character during his incumbancy ; but as he has lately taken a civil Commission from the Governor which we apprehend must naturally call off his attention from his Pastoral Duties : and as it is not customary forany Minister in our Church to bear a Civil office. We do therefore humbly pray that it would please the Presbytery to grant us a Dismission from the Reverend Mr William Hanna which Weare the Moore Incouraged to hope for, as he has promised unanimously to concur with us in the same Request Signed Jointly by the Elders of the English Presbyterian Church in Albany.
