|
October 5. The Church was called |
2d Chh meeting. |

|
together (a Second Time) to either con |
||||||
|
firm their Choice of Deacons made |
||||||
|
in February 1725; or make a new |
||||||
|
Election; & to Consider the want of |
||||||
|
Sufficient vassels to carry on the or- |
||||||
|
:derly Celebration of the Eucharist. |
||||||
|
The meeting was opened with Pray- |
||||||
|

Chh for Divine Direction & Conduct |

|
in the Affair undertaken. The Address |
||||||
|
ended, the Ends propos’d were declar |
||||||
|
:ed; but Examining into the numbres |
||||||
|
present & Comparing them wth those |
||||||
|
yt were not with us, we found there |
||||||
|
was but a minor Part of the Church |
__wrfore |

|
Considering with all, the Importance of |
||||||
|
Every Such Matter in a Church (as hath |
||||||
|
reference to its officers) any proceeding |
||||||
|
to the Bus’ness mainly design’d, was by |
||||||
|
every one declin’d. and Since there must |
||||||
|
be a new Appointment the other matter |
||||||
|
abovemention’d was likewise defer’d |
||||||
|
to another Opportunity, after it was |
||||||
|
Somewt discours’d about. So yt having |
||||||
|
again Supplicated [--] Benediction from |
||||||
|
God & appointed our Re-assembling on |
||||||
|
this Day Se’nnight the meeting conclud |
||||||
|
:ed. _____ Care was taken that as our |
||||||
|
Bus’ness was put off and another meeting ap- |
||||||
|
:pointed meerly because there was not a |
||||||
|
major Part of the Chh, & so ^ all those that |
^ so |
