Member of the Cambridge Historical Society Published by EBEN PUTNAM Boston, 1906 W\- -,■. ^ J- 74 Gift Carneg-ie Inst. JI30'0- PREFACE. The records of the First Church of Cambridge are contained in two books, both of which are in a fairly good state of preservation. The first of these is two hundred and ten years old, having been begun by Rev. William Brattle at the time of his ordination. This first book was rebound by direction of the Church during the ministry of Dr. Abiel Holmes at about the time the second book was purchased, and at this time there was bound with it, the list of members of the Church prepared by Rev. Jonathan Mitchell and a copy of a letter from Rev. Ezra Stiles giving an ac- count of the early history of the Church extracted from Win- throp's "Memoirs."* The first settled pastor of the Church m Cambridge was Rev. Thomas Hooker, but he in 1635 removed with the majority of his congregation to the new town [now Hartford] on the Connecticut. Some of the Church members remained in New Towne [Cam- bridge] and they united with others in extending a call to the Rev. Thomas Shepard, who was settled in 1636. Mr. Shepard remained the pastor until 1649, when he was "Translated hence unto the church triumphant." He was suc- ceeded by his student, the Rev. Jonathan Mitchell, who not only took charge of the Church, but married the Pastor's widow, and took charge of his property. Mr. Mitchell died in 1668. He com- piled a list of the members of the Church and their children in 1658, in which he gave many items relating to the time when they joined the Church or were baptized. He continued to note changes in this record till the time of his death. This list was lost to the Church for many years, but was re- covered from the Prince Collection by Dr. Holmes. This manuscript is very much worn and has evidently been in a damp place. It is very difficult to read both on account of the fading of the ink and the way in which the later items have been interlined. • Winthrop's Journal. (iii) iv Preface. The Rev. Dr. Newell made a copy of this list a number of years ago. There is an earlier record of the church in existence covering part of Rev, Thomas Shepards' ministry. This is now in the custody of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The officers of this society have refused permission to copy it. It is the record written by Rev. Thomas Shepard of the experiences related by those who wished to join the Church. It contains in all forty eight names. A list of these names is given below, the given names of the persons being added from Paige's History of Cambridge. Edward Hall Francis Moore Goodman Luxford his wife [Elizabeth] George Wildoes [Willis] John Sill John Sill his wife [Joanna] Mr. [Nathaniel] Eaton Christopher Cane Goodman [Robert] Daniel Mr. [Nathaniel] Sparhawke Mrs. [Mary] Sparhawke Mr. [Robert?] Sanders John Stedman Goodwife [Jane] Holmes Mr. [Edward] Collins John vStansby Barbary Cutter Goodman [William] Manninge Katherine, Mrs. Russels mayd John Stedman his wife [Alice] John Trundle [Trumball] Mr. [William] Andrews Richard Eagles [Eccles] Bro. Jacksons man, Mrs. Green Bro. Jacksons Mayd Golding Moore William Hamlet Brother Collins his wife [Joanna] Preface. v Bro. Moore his wife [Joanna] Bro. Paris [Parish] his wife [Mary] Bro. Crackbone his wife Hannah Brewer Robert Homes [Holmes] Goodwife [Elizabeth] Cutter B. Winships wife [Jane] Mr. Dunster. Mr, Haynes. Goodman Shepards relation. Goodman Fessington Jan. 8, 1640. Richard Patten Goodwife [Francis] Usher Widow [Ann] Arringgton [Errington] Goodwife Grizzell [Mary Griswold] Goodwife [Joanna] Champney Goodman [Nicholas] With Goodman [John] Fownell. William Ames [William] Jones These relations were »3vidently written down by The Rev. Thomas Shepard for presentation to the church in accordance with the custom then insisted upon, that a person wishing to unite with the Church must make a public relation to the church in regard to his previous life and give his reasons for wishing to join the Church. Paige in his History of Cambridge has given one or two of these relations copied from this book, and the relation of William Manning is copied in full in The Manning Family Genealogy. It is much to be regretted that the Council of the New England Historic Genealogical Society has taken the stand that they have in regard to this matter, as the book is part of the records of The Church at Cambridge, and as such should at least be open to examination and use by the church. In addition to the above records there are two old books in ex- istence which shed much light on the early history of the church and incidently on the history of the town. These books are still in the original raw hide bindings. The oldest of these and the most interesting, was in very bad condi- vi Preface. tion, but it has been repaired by the Emery process so that it is now in good order, except as to some ends of leaves that were worn away before it was repaired. It has been carefully copied in duplicate with the typewriter. It contains the Deacons' ac- counts beginning with the year 1638 and ending in 1716, with a break of 21 years between 1645 and 1667. The book gives the amount of money collected each sabbath specifying whether it was paid in silver or "papers, ' ' the latter being slips of paper deposited in the box with the contributors, names on them and the amounts which they were willing to contribute. It also contains a record of how the money collected was spent, and gives the special col- lections made on thanksgiving days for the relief of the poor, and the names of those who received this money or the supplies — for the contributions were hot always in money but sometimes in produce. It contains much in regard to the ordination of Rev. Mr. Urial Oakes and Rev. Nathaniel Gookin, and an account of the building of the parsonage in 1670. Rev. Lucius Page, in his History of Cambridge, has largely quoted from this book in rela- tion to the early history of the Church. The other book is of somewhat later date. It contains a list of those ministers who supplied the pulpit after the death of The Rev. Nathaniel Gookin and previous to the calling of the Rev. William Brattle. It is interesting to observe that the regular amount paid the minister for a single service was 10s., and if the minister preached twice on the same day he received £1. It made no difference who was the minister, the Rev. Mr. Angler receiving the same amount as the Rev. Increase Mather, who was the best- known minister of his time. The latter gave the amount he re- ceived to Mr. Gookin's widow, who also received money from the deacons for entertaining the ministers from out of town. The remainder of this book is taken up with the rates paid by the different members of the parish. It is to be hoped that at some future time it may be possible to print and publish literal copies of portions of these books, which are invaluable to investigators of the customs of that time. In copying the records now printed the editor has endeavored to follow as exactly as possible, the original text, both in spelling and in the use of obsolete terms and letters. In a few instances where it has seemed necessary in order to make the subject Preface. vii plainer or to supply missing names, additions have been made to the text. These additions are all carefully indicated by being enclosed in [ ] brackets. The other matter which is enclosed in parentheses ( ) was so enclosed in the original. On page 95 and some of the following pages Rev. W. Brattle made a number of notes in short hand. With the assistance of the late W™. P. Upham I was able to read most of these and have extended them in the text. There seems to have been no good reason for his writing these notes in this manner. A specimen of this short hand has been photographed and will be found on the plate facing page 64. Sarah Lewis referred to and her mother and sister were aided for many years by the church; and the mother, the widow Arrington, was finally buried by the church. The proofs of this work were carefully compared with the origi- nal text, without reference to the copy which was furnished the printer. Stephen P. Sharples. Cambridge May 30, 1906. ADDENDA.

Reverend Sir. Governour Winthrop wrote two volumes of Mem- oirs and OccAirrences from l(i30 to 1(347. As you have no particular account of y* Gathering of y^ Chh of Cambridge I thought it might be agreable to you to lodge with your prefent Chh Records Governour Winthrop's account of y® Gathering M'' Shepherds Chh Feb : 1. 1635/6. 1635 M'" Shepherd a Godly Minister came lately out of M''.12.1. England & Divers other good Christians intending to raise a Chh Body came & acquainted y*' Magistrates [t] herewith who gave their approbation. They AUso Sent to all y^ neighboring Chh' for their Elders to give y'' afsistance at a certain day at NeAvtowne when yy Should Conftitute that body- Accordingly at this day there met a great afsembly where y*^ pro- ceeding was as foUoweth : M'' Shepard & two others (who were after to be chofen to 'office) sat together in y" Elder's Seat : Then y" Elder of them began with prayer : after this M"" Shepard prayed with deep confefsion of Sin &c. and Exercifed out of Eph. 5. That he might make us to himfelf a holy &c. and allfo opened y'^ caufe of y'' Meeting, &c. Thtni y" Elder defired to know of y'' Chh' : afsembled, what number were needfull to make a Chh, and how they ought to proceed in this action. Whereupon Some of y' Ancient Ministers confer- ring fevcrally together made Answers. That y® (28) Mecords of tJie First Church in Cambridge. 29 Scripture did not Set down any any certain rule for y" Number. Three they thought were too few, because by Matth. 18. an appeal was allowed to be made from three : but that 7 might be a titt number for their proceeding They advized that such as were to join, Should make Confefsion of their faith & declare what work of Grace y'' Lord had wrought in them. Which accordingly they did M'" Shepard firft then 4 others ; then y*' Elder c*c one who was to be a deacon (who had alfo prayed) and another member. Then y*" Covenant was read and they all gave a Solemn afsent to it. Then y^' Elder def ired of y'' Churches, that if they did api)rove them to be a Church, they would give them y^' Right hand of Fel- lowship. Whereupon M"" Cotton (upon f hort fpeech with fome others near him) in y^ name of the Churches, Gave his hand to the Elder, with a fliort fpeech of their afsent, and defired y^ Peace of the Lord Jefus to be with them. Then M'" Shepard made an Exhortation to y*" reft of this Body about y'' nature of their Covenant and to ftand firm to it and commended them to y"' Lord in a most heavenly Prayer. Then y^ Elder told y"" afsembly that they were In- tended to Choose M"" Shepard for their Paftor (by y" name of y'" Brother who (had) Exercised.) & defired y*-' churches that if they had anything to except againft him they would impart it before y'' day of or- dination. Then he gave y"' Churches hands for their afsiftance & so left Them to y' Lord. Extracted from Governour Winthrop's Manufcript.

Att a day of Fasting M'^ Cotton was ordained Teacher att Boston 10"' of October following and y^ next day M*^ Hooker & M"" Stone were ordained att Newtown* So their Church must have been Gathered Sometime between Sept. 4. and Oct. 11 1633. For att y" month of October 1633 Governor Win- throp says : "A Faft att Newtown when M'' Hooker was chofen Paftor, and M'" Stone Teacher in such manner as before att Bofton." In 1635 & 1636, the Congregation removed to Connecticut River, and Set- tled Newtown There, Called Hartford 1637.

Upon a (Question moved by one Sent from y*" Church of Salem, it was refolved by y*^ Ministers there prefent, that Such as had been Ministers in England, were lawfull ministers by y"^ call of y*^ People here notwith- ftanding their acceptance of y^ Call of y^ Bishop &c.

You complained Sir, of y'' Lofs of your Original Church Records when I laft saw you, and that you could recover no Authentic Memoir of y*^ Gathering of your Church I thought a Memoir prelerved by so good an authority as y'' first Governor Winthrop who was probably prefent att y*^ Transaction would be accept- able to you.

We apprehend y* y*^ Increafing & prevaling of Such Sinful disorders as y>' have done of late among us is very much owing to our not Exercifiug y*^ faithf ull «& friendly watch over one another ; as we have mutually «Sc Solemnly Engaged by Covenant ; & to a General Lukewarmneis & Unexemplarinefs among our Selves. 3. Under a deep Sense of our former defects we hum- bly Implore y'' pardoning mercy of God thro Jesus Ciirift, att y^ same time )"elblving & Solemnly promif- iug y"^ by y^ help of Divine grace we will Endeavor more Effectually to discountenance & discourage Such Sinfuil disorders Cor y*" future, by taking care each one to reform himfelf in thele or other Sins y' our Consciences Charge as with, and by being more Cir- cumspect & Exemplary in our Carriage, particularly we promife Steddily & diligently to Imploy our Selves in y*^ bufinefs of some honelt Calling, y^ we will carefully avoid drinking Strong drink wherein is Ex- cels, all Unlawfull Gaming, & y' we will be Cautious of going in or Sitting att Taverns and publick lioufes. And as we would be willing to deny ourfelves even our lawfull liberty in many things to prevent others from Stumbling thereat ; So we now promise for oui' Selves refpectively y^ in order to discountenance this evil & pernicious Cultom of needlcsly going to &, Sitting Long att y*' Taverns : we will not frequent Such publick houfcs either on days or in y'' Evenings, except when we have lawfull bufinefs y' Calls us thither, & y' we will Endeavour So to order our af- fairs as y' we may but Seldom have occafiou to go to Such houfes & y' when we are obliged to go to 130 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. Such places we will endeavour always to Set Exam- ples of Sobriety & good order by moderate drinking & Seafouably departing. 4. We do Solemnly promife y"^ we will more faithfully watch over one another, and all among us y* are in any degree related to y*^ chh by y^' Baptifm or owning y*^ Covenant, with a Spirit of meeknefs, love and tenderneis, Counfelling Exhorting & admonifhing (51) one another frequently as we see occafion leaft any be hardened thro y^ deceitfulnefs of Sin & iu thofe cafes w''in we apprehend is applicable & necefsary we will Endeavour to profecute our Saviour's rule with re- fpect to admonitions as laid down in Math : 18 : 15, 16, 17. 5. That a Suitable Letter be Sent to y*^ Inholders & Retailers. N.

M'' Fifk declined to y*^ Com- mittee to y' purpose y* he did not approve of y"" method of pro- ceeding, y' it was Contrary to his Judgment, & his open declara- tion in times paft.

Chh to M'' Fifk or to him & his Chh I am not certain which. Signifying If I mistake not, yr thought of Coming to vifit y™ in y*' 3*^ way of Communion y^ is by way of Charitable admonition, & y" a Letter from M'' Fifk to y*" North Chh, objecting againft y'' coming for two reasons more Efpecially P* because y> had prejudged y** affair in an afsembly jRecords of the First (Jhuvch in Cambridge. 199 of Chhs allready. 2'i'> y' he had made Such proposals to y^ ag- greiyed in order to y*" Settling & determining y'' diferences as he thonght Christian and reasonable and y" another Letter from y'' Brethren of y^' Chh y* adhere to M'' Fifk objecting against y'' N.

Now many of y*' Council ob- ferving w' great Strefs y" Paftor M*" Fifk & his adhei'ents laid (94) upon certain propofals it was propofed, That Some Inquiry Should be made Concerning thofe Propofals. Accordingly M"" Gee was Sent for and Interrogated about y'", who thought it not proper for him to say any thing of y'" without y'^' reft of his Brethren, who being fent for, and coming in, y> were afked whether y*' North Chh had any proposals laid before y'" y' M"" Fifk refers to in his Letter, to which it was aufwered y^ M'" Fifk, who Speaks of proposals did in his Letter Send none to y'' Chh but withall M^' Gee declares y"^ as he was y'' Scribe or Clerk of y^ former Council he had y'' Papers Committed to him among which were thefe propofals & y* alltho y> had had no Consid- eration of y"' in y'' procefs not Imagining y'" to be any thing att all to y*" merits of y*' present Case yet if this Council desired y'" he had y"' with him & would write out a Copy of y'".

It was allso alledged y* very probably those papers might be to y*^ merits of y'' Caufe, & y* our Justifying or not Justifying might be determined by y"\ for if we found y*" several parts of y*^ chh moving for peace by proposals of peace, & if (95)thofe propofals were reafonable Chriftian ones as M'' Fifk says y5 are we might pofsibly think y* M"" Gee & his Chh Infted of pafsing y'" by in Silence & taking no notice of y'" might have acted a better part to have Improved these propofals as far as he could towards y® producing of peace among y'" than in proceeding att once to admonifh y"\ It was allso Said y' by bringing in these propoals & making Some tryal of y'" we might probably discern more clearly where y*" fault lay, for alltho according to y*^ pref- ent procefs of y'' matter y'' whole Chh was to come under Cen- fure, yet all allowed y' Some of y"" were not to blame, & by mak- ing Some Experiment with thefe propofals perhaps we might find where to enter all y*' blame, and many other things were offered as arguments for y*^ bringing in thofe Papers, arguments So Strong &. clear y' I thought y'" Avas no gaiufaying y"', but when y*" votes were put whether y> Should be brought in behold y^ pafsed in y*" negative, which was very grevious to a great number of us, accordingly five Elders, viz M'' Barnard, M'' Holyoke, M'" Wigglesworth, M'' Tufts & M'' Chipman gave in a Paper to y'' Moderator Signifying y' as that light was withheld from them which y> apprehended necefsary to Judge upon y*^ Cafe before y"' y^' Should withdraw from y*^ Council & did accordingly & five or 6 other Elders, viz : M'' Ilale, M'' Emmerson, M'' Storer, M'' Bowman, M> Jaques, 1 think & myfelf Stood up & declared to y*^ Council y' Seeing those papers were withheld y' we apprehended might afford light in y'" affair before us, we utterly declined to give our Judgement pro or Con, upon y'' proceedigs of y*" North Chh, or y^' other 3 Chh** afterwards in Conjunction with y'" for as y'" cafe now stood we had not, neither might we be allowed light either to Justify or Condemn y'' proceedings & y" M'" Stone & Several other delegates Stood up & declared y> were of y'- Same mind. Upon this y'' was a motion made to reconsider ye Records of the First ChurcJi iit Catnhridge. 201 votes about those papers but it Could not be obtained. So y*^ five foreraentioued Elders withdrew & y^' other five or (! of ns with a number of delegates sat as Neuters, & y" y*' Council went on & Justified all y'' Steps y' had been taken by y*' North Chh & y" y'' 3 other Ch- in Conjunction with them. After thefe votes were pafsed, y'' Council voted to unite thofe four ('hh^ with y'" & y" proceeded to renew y'' advice & admonition to y'' Chh by a Letter & have adjourned y"'felve8 to 15"' of October (96) next, waiting till y' time to see what effect y'' admonition will have, wliicli for my own part I have but little Expectation of Confidering how y'' matter has been driven on but as thefe pro- ceedings are like to occasion a great deal of debate in y*^ Country I thought it proper for y'' help of my Memory to Commit to writ- ing y*^' most remarkable occurrences in y Council, whilst y- are frefh in my mind, & I would only obferve how Uniiappy it is, y' when those who come together to heal divisions among others Should be divided among y"'felves, a Melancholy token y' y'' Chhs y" Convened had not so much of y'' Prefence of great head of y*" Chh att y'' Convention as is to be defired att all times efpe- cially upon Such a Solemn occafion as this. And as to y*^ votes of y'' Councils in y'' Justification of M'' Gee's proceedings in y'' Several Steps Sujjpofing y'' had been no propofals I cannot but think y> have gone aside y'' letter of y*' Platform, & y'' Spirit & design of y'' Synod lOfi'i, »K: I am at prefent fully of opinion y' the N. Chh. in Bofton was not a proper Chh to go to begin y'' 3'' way of Comnumion upon y'^Chli of Salem, 1"' because yy had prejudged ye affair & 2ndly liecause of y' distance y' being so many other Chh' nearer y' Should have performed y' act of Charity. Indeed if Chh*" in y'' Neighbor- hood had been applyed to & had refufed y" a Chh So diftant as y*' N. Chh might have been Juftified in going. But y" I cannot See how y* Chh can be Justified in calling in y'' 3 or 4 Churches viz,— y^' Old South Chli in Bofton, & M'' Whites att Glouster both of which had been y' in Council & prejudged ye matter & M'' Chevers of Rumney Marsh & M'' Wigglesworths att Ipswich but he did uot go.

This day brought in tlieir report Unanimously agreed to by the Commit- tee & Deacons and Unanimously accepted by the Chh, VVniich report is as follows Viz : — The Committee appointed to inquire into y'' State of y'* Chh Stock of Monies Bonds or Notes in y'' Deacon's Hands & con- fider with y'^' Deacons what may be moft proper way to Im- prove y*^" Same &c. Find that there is in y'' hands of y'" Deacons (Exclufive of mony appropriated to y ufe of y^' Poor) the Sum of thirty-seven Pounds nineteen Shillings & four pence three farthings : and y'" Deacons have allso in their hands Bonds & (109) Notes Securities for y' Payment of two hundred &ten Pounds fourteen Shillings & one penny, with some lutereftdue thereon. The two Sums above-mentioned amount to Two hundred & forty-eight Pounds thirteen Siiillings & live pence three far- things : Part whereof, Viz'. Two hundred & Twenty Pounds six Shillings & nine pence one farthing is y'^' Produce of y'' Land & Wood att Newton. And as to y'" moft proper way to Improve y*" Same Stock ye Committee together with y'' Deacons are Unanimously of opi- nion. That in y" first Place So much thereof as may be ne- cesary for y*" dif charge of any Debts due to be paid out of it be applied for that purpose. 2°'^'y That y'" further Sum of forty Shillings Cash be kept in Bank by y" Deacons to defray any Contingent Charge y* may arife by providing y'" Elements for y'' Lord's Supper or otiierwise. 3riiiy "Yh^ii y^ remainder be put out at Intereft & be a Fund for y"-' Support of y'' Gospel under y' following Regulations. V^ That it be let out in as few Sums as Conveniently may be. 2^1 y That y'' Intereft of y" whole be made payable att y*^ same time 3^"y That y' whole of y"^^ Intereft be added to y'^ Principal for y-' term of fourteen years next to come. 4.thiy xhat from and after y' PvX})iration of S:iid term of Forteen years during y' further term of tifteen years one Third part of 222 Record fi of the First Church in Cambridge . y Intereft annually Shall be given to y" first Parifh in Cam- bridge for & towards defraying y'' Expense of Supporting the Minister of this Parish : and y" other two third Parts shall be added to y*" Principal. 5thiy_ That from and after y*" Expinition of y" Said laft mentioned Term of fifteen years. Two third parts of y*" Intereft annually Shall be given for y' Support of y" Minister as aforefaid : and y" other Third Part shall be added to y" Principal forever. gthiy That this Fund shall be Infpected annually by a Committee appointed by this Chh, who Shall report to y* Chh y" State thereof and how y'^ produce is applied. When we confider y*" Benefit y* may accrue to Pofterity by eftablifhing a Fund of this kind, and how much it will Con- tribute to promote y'' worship of y*" true God. & y" knowledge & y*" Practice of y*" religion of our Common Lord «&; Saviour Jesus Christ amongst future Generations who may be luhabi- (110) tants of This parifh. We regard it as a defertion of y*" caufe of God and of His Chrift not to Elmbrace this oppertu- nity of Communicating our Sentiments Concerning this matter to our Dear &. beloved Brethren in y"" Lord Jesus, the members of this Chh. And we Earnestly recommend to them that when yy meet to Commemorate y' Death & Sufferings of him who Spared not to Shed his precious Blood for us. They would Express their thankfull remembrance of y'^ Benefit yy have received by Cheer- fully Contributing a Small part of y*^ Substance with which God has bleised them for y'' important purpofes of Continuing & Spreading amongst mankind that pure & undefiled religion which Chrift appeared on Earth to propagate. To vShew y' a very Small part of our Substance properly ap- plied would produce a very Considerable Effect. We beg leave to mention that by Calculation it appears that if Each Person who Contril)utes att y'' Sacrament of ye Lords Supper, would Increafe his Contribution only one third Part (that is let y" perlbu who usually Contributes two Coppers, for y*^ future Contribute three Coppers Every Sacrament Day : and y'' Person who usually has given Sixpence for y'" future Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 228 give ninepence, & so in proportion for greater or Icfser Sums) and thefe Sums be regularly kept att Intereft : Tlie Whole Sum in y*" Space of Twenty Ei^iht years vvoiiUl amount to four hundred & thirty five Poumls five Shillings & odd pence, which being added to Seven hundred *t thirty three pounds Six Shill- ings &. eight pence; ye produce of y' fund as before phinned gives att y' end of twenty eight years the Sum of One thousand, one hundred & Sixty Eight Pounds, Eleven Shillings & Eigh^ pence. Two Thirds of y*" Interest of which laft mentioned Sum is y' Sum of forty six Pounds ifc fourteen Shillings almoft half as much as our ReV' Paltors Salaiy. We therefore recommend to Each member of this C'hh to Exercise that Piety & Charity with which God is well pleafed in y" manner aforementioned namely by Increafing his Contri- bution att y*" Sacrament one third part. And we further recommend y' y*^ State of the Chh Stock be Inquired into Every year ; and that Such Sum or Sums of money as Shall be in y'' hands of y'' Deacons not appropriated, or necefsary for other Important Purpofes be annually applied & Set over to and for y'' lucreafe of y'' Fund abovementioned. All which we submit to y' wife prudent &c. confideration of our Rev^' Paftor & Beloved Brethren of y' Chh. W"' Kneeland by order of the committee. 27 May 1773. Cambridge P' Church.

(115) Some Minutes relating to y*' Sale of y^ Minifterial Farm att Lexington and y*^ Improvement of y^ Monies procured by y® Sale thereof for y^ ufe of y** Miniftry which I think proper to Enter in y*^ Church Book, for the Information of my Succef- sors in y*' Miniftry. But not having any Authentick Copies of y*' Votes which have been pafsed relating to Said affair. I Shall only mention Several things according to my own knowledge or Remem- brance of them. The Authentick votes being to be found in y^ Town Records or y*^ Proprietors Records, or Parifh Records. The Farm was att y® farther End of Lexington towards Bedford Containing 500 acres. Given in former time by y« Proprietors of y'' Town for y^ ufe of y® Miniftry In this Town & Place (according to y*" beft of my Remembrance) My Pred- ecefsor y*" Rev"^ M'' Brattle had Leafed out y*^ Said Farm and there were Several years of y*^ Leafe to run att his Death which Leafe did not reftrain y*" Tennants from Cutting & Car- rying off y^ Wood & Timber. So y' it was thought great Strip & waste would be Committed, y* Timber cut off & y*' Farm but little Cultivated. Accordingly after my Settlement in y'^ Miniftry in this place (which was Oct'''' 9, old ftile 1717) It was thought beft to Sell y^ Farm & put y'' money out to In- terest, till Lands more convenient for y" ufe of y^ Miniftry Could be purchafed. Accordingly in or about y* year 1719 or 1720. The Town voted to Sell and did Sell y^S*J Farm for £900 of y^ Province Bills, y" Currency of that Day. One hundred & Twenty Potmds of y'' money y'' Town Improved towards re- pairing y*" Parfonage Houfe. Sixty Pounds were Expended in Law Suits, &c. by y'' Committee Imployed to manage y" affair. So y' y^ original Sum y' was to put to lutereft was Seven hundred, & Twenty Pounds. Now my Agreement with y^ Town relating to this Money procured by y^ Sale of S'' Farm was y' Records of the First (Jhnrch. in Cambridge. 229 I & I think my Succefsors Should Nominate a Treasurer for receiving and Improving Said Monies : and y" Town to give y"" Approbation of S'> Choice, or if not I to Choose one or another till y> Concurred and that I should draw Tivo thirds of y^ Interest & y" other third to be added yearly to y'' Principal: which was Indeed my own Propofal Choofing to forego that third of y^ Interest that y*^ Principal might be a growing Es- tate as y'' Farm was. Accordingly I have Conftantly received Two thirds of y<^ whole Intereft and as y*' Principal was yearly increafed by y*" addition of one third of y'' Interest so my In- tereft Increafed proportionally from year to year. I nominated Andrew Bordman Efq'" The College Steward for Treasurer and the Town Concurred therewith and he Continued in Said office & Trust untill y" Day of his Death which was May 30, 1747. after which 1 nominated his Son y" prefent Andrew Bordman Efq'' which Nomination y** Parifh Concun*ed with, who con- tinues in S^ Trust to this Day. The Late M'' Bordman y'' Winter before he died viz, Jan. 27. 1746/7 gave me a Lift of all y^ Bonds Containing y'' Said Monies under his hand as Treafurer which Paper together with a Paper of y" like Import from his Son y*" prefent Treasurer, baring Date June 18, 1752 may be found in a Drawer of my Scriptore where are my Deeds & other valuable Papers. (116) By y<" Lift of Bonds given in by M'' Bordman y<^ first Treaf- urer of Jan^ 27, 1746/7 It appears y' y'^ Principal of y'' Bonds amounted to y*' Sum of £1052 old Tenor. Interest due upon y'' Bonds Jan> 22, 1746/7 as belonging to y' Principal £68.6.4 And what he charges himself with alltho he never charged nor received anything during y'^ whole time of his Service & Trust, £14.7.0 £1134.13.4 So y' in y'^ Space of about 27 years y*" Nominal Sum In- creased £414.3.4. I Say y"^ Nominal Sum, For by y" Unhappy State of our Medium Viz. Province Bills, during thofe years y> depreciated to Such a degree & no remedy provided in y® loss to help y'^ Creditors to y^ just value of y»' Bonds. It was but nominal, for alltho y*' Nominal Sum was So much 230 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. Increafed yet y* real value was much diminifhed y*" addition of y*" third of y'" Intereft did by no means make up for y" Sink- ing of y'' Bills. But about y^ year 1750 The Medium was Exchanged, y*" Bills called in Lawful Money 6/8 Established and a Law made obliging all Debtors upon Bond to pay in y'' Debts according to y'' value of y* Bills when y*" Debt was Contracted. By which means there was a Considerable Saving to this Estate ; allthough by no means Sufficient to make up for y'' Lofs during 30 years of depreciating Bills. But upon y*" Exchange of y'' Bonds into Lawful Silver money & according to y*" value of y'' Bills when y*" Bond was given. The Nominal Sum in old Tenor was Confiderably Increased. For upon Reckoning & Settling y^ Intereft with Andrew Boi-d- man Efq'" y*^ Prefent Treafurer June 18, 1752. He gave me in a Lift of y*" Bonds then in his hands (which Paper is De- pofited with y" former in my Scriptore) which amounted in y^ Principal to £288.15.1. Lawful money, which makes in old Tenor £2165.13.1 and att y'' Same time y^ was of Interest due upon Said Bonds, to y*^ value of £170 old tenor to that day And I then received full two thirds of y*^ Intereft of all y^ Bonds as I have from y^ Begin ing. And now we See y' att y^ day, viz, 1752. There is added to y"" Principal above £40 old Tenor Every year, whereby it becomes a growing Estate, and it was my defign in Confenting to y" Sale & y*" defign of y" pple in Selling y^ it Should be a growing Estate, and therefore I hope No Successor of mine in y*" Ministry will ever defire or demand more than two thirds of y*" Intereft of this money. And I defire you let me Solemnly Charge y'' People of this Parifh to abide ftrictly by this Rule of adding one third of y'' Intereft conftantly to y" Principal and not from any Par- fimonious Spirit apply it to any other uf e then to y'' Increaf ing y"' Fund. "Which is y" only way to have y^ pious Defigns of our fore Fathers in giving y*" Farm & of y" Children in selling it, (117) Most effectually answered. For you may Easily See y' by Such a constant addition to y^ Principal it will att length afford an Income equal to what we may Supose y*" Farm under good Improvement would be likely to Rent for. Nay Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 231 let me add what Some of you may Easily compute, that by keeping this vote «fe agreement of adding one third of y*" Intereft to Principal Sacred & Inviolable that by y'' 3^' & 4^^ Generation It will of itself afford a Comfortable & Decent Support for a Minister without any Tax upon y*" pple. ]yjgjjjdm J -^ould further Say y' as it was Propofed att y" time of Selling s*^ Farm y' y*" money Should be laid out in Lands more Convenient for y* Miniftry, And as it was necefsary for me y'^ Incumbent to manifeft my confent to y' Sale of S*^ Lands, under my Hand. So in y"^ Several Deeds which were made of y*' Land I Signified my Confent with this Condition provided they purchafed other Lands with y' money more Convenient for y' Miniftry, which is not done.

But the singular candor with which you received me and my ministrations, while I was with you, and the remark- able unanimity with which the transactions relative to my pro- posed settlement among you were conducted, silence my objections on this head. Upon the whole after weighing this matter with serions de- liberation and witli prayers to the Father of Lights for guidance and direction, I have judged it my duty to accept this invita- tion and to give up myself to the pastoral service among you and accordingly, I do hereby signify my acceptance of this call of the Church and Society to settle in the work of the ministry among them. This you will be [)leased to communicate to them as my answer. I ask a remembrance in your prayers ; and intend by the permifsion of divine Providence, to be with you in the course of the next week.

Some incon- venience (though not a subject of complaint) arising from the particular days of the communion not being specified and the first communion this year (1797) falling on the first day of January; the Pastor, on that day, proposed to the church, that, hereafter, the Lord's Sup- per be adminiftered on the first Lord 's day of every other month, beginning with the month of January.

At a meeting of the Church, duly notified, for the purpose of electing a Deacon, to supply the vacancy, occafioned by the death of Deacon Munro; after prayer by the Pastor for divine direction, the brethren proceeded to bring in their written votes and it appeared, that of ten votes, nine were for brother Josiah Moore, and he was accordingly declared to be chosen. William Dewey, a member of the church, being guilty of the sin of fornication previously to his late marriage and having been repeatedl}^ conversed with by the Pastor and admonished, having also uniformly exprefsed peni- tence for the offence, was at length encouraged to offer a Confefsion to the Church. At the aforesaid meeting of the Church the following Confefsion was accordingly presented ; and voted to be satisfactory : "I desire with shame and deep humiliation to confefs "before God, that I have not guarded as I ought against "indulgence to youthful lusts; but have violated the "laws of Chriftian purity and thus have given just caufe "of offence to the Church of which I am a member, as "well as exposed myself to the displeafure of a holy "God. Truly sensible, as I trust of my folly and sin, "I humbly ask forgivnefs of my Maker and intreat you "to restore me to your charity and fellowship, and ask "your prayers for me, that I may be preserved from "sin in future, and enabled by God's grace to adorn the "doctrine of my saviour, Cambridge Nov. 4, 1804.

James Winthrop J An amendment was proposed in the 10*'^ article, viz. to insert the words ''Library of the First Church," in- stead of the words "Church Library" and the Report, with this amendment, was accepted. A list of Books, proposed by the same Committee to be purchased for the library, was accepted by the Church.

Holmes, Caleb Gannett Esq. and 364 Records of the First Church in Cambridge, Deacon William Hilliard, were chosen the Standing Committee. Voted that said Committee be authorized to procure the books on the list now communicated and accepted, and to employ the remainder of the money, subscribed for the Library, in purchasing such other books, as they may judge suitable, and in defraying contingent expenfes. The books and money, subscribed for the Library, having been collected antl the Committee having pro- cured most of the additional books, which they wore authorized to purchafe; a report of their transactions was made to the Church in October. The list of books being at length completed, the Committee caufed a Cata- logue of them to be printed, and distributed among the members of the Church, in December. The number of books at this time as appears by the Catalogue is one hundred and nine. N.B.

At a meeting of the Church, called by the Pastor a letter from Sarah L. Hilliard, requesting the Church "to difmifs Mr. Hilliard from the office of a dea- con." Whereupon, Voted, That a Committee of five brethren be appointed to confer with M'"® Hilliard for the purpose of ascertaining the grounds and reasons of her request, and make report to the Church.

Voted unanimously, that the petition of M""^ Hilliard be dismifsed. Also, Voted unanimously. That the Pastor be requested to advise Sarah L. Hilliard of the improper dispositions discovered in her petition, and of its dis- 372 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. orderly tendency; and to admonish her to cultivate a more Christian temper hereafter. The Meeting was then dif solved. (64) 1808 iN^ov. 4. At a meeting of the Church, duly notified (12 members present) the Pastor stated, that he had not been able to give advice and admonition to Sarah L. Hilhard, con- formably to the vote of the Church at its last meeting, on account of her peremptory refusal to see him when he called at deacon Hilliard's house, although she was made duly acquainted with the special design of his visit, and warned, that, if she persisted in such refusal, it would be at her peril. Whereupon Voted, That in consideration of the con- temptuous manner in which Sarah L. Hilliard has treated the Pastor and Church, in refusing to receive a pastoral admonition in conformity to a vote of the church; also, in consideration of her general contumacious behaviour since the presentment of her petition; she be suspended from the privilege of communion with the church. Voted, That the Pastor be requested to communicate the transactions of the Church at this meeting to Sarah L. Hilliard. Voted, That this meeting be adjourned to the Friday immediately preceding the first Lord 's day in May next unlefs it should appear expedient to call a meeting pre- vious to that time. The meeting was adjourned accordiiig'ly. 1809 May 5. The Church met according to adjournment. The transactions of the Church relative to Sarah L. Hilliard v/ere read. The Pastor then stated, that, being unable to obtain an interview with M*"^ Hilliard, he communicated the transactions of the Church of Nov. 4. to her in writing the next day (Nov. 5*^^) since which time he had neither seen her, nor received any communis cation from her. Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 378 Voted, That the farther procedure of the Chh, in the cafe of M""^ HilUard, be postponed until the next Lecture day; & that this meeting be adjourned until that time. Adjourned accordingly. (65) 1809. June 30. The Church met according to adjournment. The number of members present being small, it was. Voted, to adjourn this meeting to the day of the lecture preceding the communion in November. It was adjourned accordingly. Nov. 3. The church met according to adjournment. (11 Pros') The transactions of the Church relative to Sarah L. Hilliard were read. The Pastor then stated, That he had given her written notice, that the Church have it in contemplation to proceed to a still higher act of cenfure, and that he had required her attendence at this time and place, that she might have an opertunity to exprefs her repentance, or to offer any reasons against such pro- cedure of the Church; but that she returned the letter of notice with signs of contempt and defiance. Where- upon, after serious deliberation, the following Vote pafsed unanimously : Whereas Sarah L. Hilliard, in July 1808, requested the Church to clismifs her husband from theoffice of a Deacon, without offering any satisfactory reason for so extra- ordinary a request, which was considered by the Church "as tending to diminish respect for an important office, " as affecting the interest and order of the church, and the honour of our holy religion," and whereas, in considera- tion of the contemptuous manner in which the said Sarah L. Hilliard treated the Pastor and Church in refus- ing to receive a pastoral admonition in conformity to a vote of the Church, also, in consideration of her general contumacious behaviour after the presentment of her petition, she was in November 1808 suspended from the privilege of communion with the Church; and whereas, after all the sincere and faithful endeavours of the Church 374 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. (66) to bring her to a sense of her sin and folly and to recover her again to repentance, she has given no evidence of contrition, but, on the contrary, together with her refusal to hear the Church, has given additional and increasing proof of obduracy, and of an impious contempt of the ordinance of the Lord's Supper and of the discipline of the Church. Voted, That Sarah L. Hilliard be excommunicated. Voted, That the Pastor be requested to pronounce the sentence of Excommunication in presence of the Church, after the communion service on the next Lord's day. The Report of the Committee on the Church Funds was read and accepted. See p. 68-70. Nov, 5. Lord's day. After communion service, the Pastor gave a brief account of the cafe of Sarah L. Hilliard, and stated the obligations of ministers to endeavour to pre- serve the purity of the church. Jerm. xv. 19. Ezek. xliv. 23. He then showed the treatment required, in case of an offence in the church, from Matth xviii. 15-19, and observed : From this and other pafsages of the New Testament it appears, that, after admonitions and re- bukes, if the offender appears incorrigible, he is to be cast out of the Society, and avoided as a person with whom to have any intercourse, except in the offices of humanity, would be dangerous. It is accordingly stated in the Platform of our Churches, that "while the offen- der remains excommunicate the church is to refrain from all memberlike communion with him in spiritual things, and also from all familiar communication wdth him in civil things, farther than the necefsity of natural or do- mestic or civil relations do require; and are therefore to forbear to eat and drink with him, that he may be ashamed." (67) He then recited the transactions of the Church at its last meeting on the case of M""^ Hilliard, as recorded under the date of Nov'" 3.; and appealed to the Church Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 375 for a confirmation of the Vote of Excomnuuiication, which was now signified (as it was in the first instance) by a silent vote. He accordingly pronounced, with pathos and solemnity, the following sentence of EXCOiMMUNICATION. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Head of the Church, I declare Sarah L. Hilliard to be excluded from the Church of Christ, and cut off from the privileges of those who are stedfast in the covenant. I declare her to have broken the vows of God, which were upon her, and her sacred promifes to his covenant people, and to be unworthy of Christian society and fellowship. I pro- nounce her to be a person from whom the followers of Christ are to withdraw, as from one who walketh disorderly What is bound in the church on earth, according to the Gospel, will be bound in heaven. The sentence now pafsed is but a representation of a sentence inconceivably more awful, to be pafsed on the transgrefsor at the judg- ment seat of Christ, unlefs it be prevented by a seasonable repentance. That it may be thus prevented, may God, who hath the residue of the Spirit; of his infinite mercy grant through Jesus Christ. Amen. A prayer was then made, adapted to the affecting occasion; and the ufual benediction closed the solemnity. (See p. 80. for a Restoration.) (68) Report of the Committee on the Church Funds. See p. 66.

English on the subject of his recent Publication &c. made the following REPORT. "That they have had an interview with M"" English, at which he treated the committee and the church with civility and respect, but did not retract the sentiments that he had maintained in his publication, which he allowed to be a virtual renunciation of Christianity, and incompatible with his continued relations to this church. The only concefsion he made was, that he had used some contumelious exprefsions which he did not entirely justify; but he did not retract any of the sentiments ad- vanced in that book. (84) * ' Your committee plainly stated to the offending brother the peculiar aggravations of his offence. They reminded him, that, during his connection with the church of Christ, and while under the bonds of the covenant by which he was voluntarily and solemnly engaged to walk in communion with us, he had exerted his talents and used his endeavours to subvert Christianity, and to bring the church into contempt. They also faithfully and tenderly declared to him the serious offence taken at his conduct by the members of the church; their solicitude for his recovery to their charity ; and the serious consequences, present and future, of persisting in his unbelief and opposition to Christianity. Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 393 At the close of the conference, the committee inquired , whether he was wilhng to reconsider the subject, and to confer upon it with individuals of the committee. He readily profefsed a willingness; engaged to hold such conferance; and promised in case of any alteration in his principles or views, to give information of it to the committee. "It is with deep regret that the committee are con- strained to add, that, although M"" English continued several months in the vicinity after this interview, and was frequently in Cambridge, he never called on one of the committee for the proposed conference, nor commu- nicated any thing to them on the subject; that, though The pastor of the church, hearing of his intended depar- (85) ture for the Southern States, called at his fathers house in Brighton, where he then resided, and left a request to see him in Cambridge, he never saw him, nor received any communication from him afterwards; and that several weeks ago, as the committee are informed, he sat out from Brighton for Virginia, not expecting soon to return. "In the serious and dehberate view of this unhappy and unprecedented case, the committee are of the opinion, that, although the offending brother did, by the original offence separate himself from the church, he still re- mained subject to its discipline; that this act neither absolved him from his obligations to us, nor released us from ours to him and to the Christian Church; and that, as the discipline of the church in this case hitherto has proceeded on the principle of this mutual and continued obligation, so any future, regular act of the church, relat- ing to the case, would be in scriptural and ecclesiastical order; and, finally, that though the offender is virtually separated from us by his own act, yet the honour and interests of our holy religion in general, and of this church in particular, do render a further procedure in this case expedient. "The Committee, do, accordingly, recommend to the Church to consider and decide. Whether the conduct 394 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. of George Bethune English has not incurred a forfeiture (86) of the privileges of the church, and brought such scandal on our holy religion, as to render his excision from the church, by a formal act, just and expedient. Should such be the opinion of the Church, the Committee are prepared to report a form of procedure. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. Holmes P' order." Cambridge 30 June 1814. The Committee, having at a previous communication of this Report (at a meeting of the Church July 1^*^) been requested to resume their communication withM'' English, further communicated the copy of a letter from the Pastor to him dated 25 July , to which no answer had been received . After a deliberate and serious discufsion, it was Voted, That the Report be accepted. The question referred, at the close of the Report, to the consideration and decision of the Church, was then put, & pafsed in the affirmative. The following Vote of Excommunication was then pafsed : "Whereas George Bethune English, by a recent publi- cation, entitled, 'The Grounds of Christianity examined by comparing the New Testament with the Old' ; has publicly & opprobriously afsailed our holy religion, not lefs to the scandal of the Christian Community, than to the grief & scandal of this Church; and whereas by this conduct he has violated his own solemn covenant engage- ments, renounced his Christian profefsion, scandalized the christian name, and proved himself to be, not merely an apostate from the Christian Church, but an enemy to the Christian religion; and whereas the faithful endeav- ours of the church to reclaim him have proved ineffectual; Voted, That George Bethune English be excommuni- cated."

Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 395 the Pastor communicated a letter from the President of Harvard College accompanied with votes and proceedings of the Corporation and Overseers respecting the forma- tion of the members of the University into a distinct Society for religious instruction, worship and ordinances on the Lord's day. By this communication it appeared, that the measure was adopted with a view to certain advantages therein stated, and that "the change medi- tated is in perfect consistency with that entire respect and affection which the University entertains towards the pastor and people of the First Parish in the town, with which she has from the beginning been united in public acts of religion." It also appeared, that a com- mittee of the college government was instructed to give notice to the minister and congregation of the First Parish in Cambridge of the intended change, and to express the sentiments of regard and fraternity felt by the members of the several College Boards, and the desire of Christian and friendly communion between the two Societies that may be formed : Also, that a Chapel is now provided in University Hall, accomodated to the pro- posed change; that measures had been taken for form- ing a church and administering the ordinances in the new chapel; and that this chvirch is asked to concur in the design by dissolving the connection of such members connected with the University, as may apply for that purpose, also to be present by their pastor and delegates at the formation of a church within the walls of the University. ' ' (88) Whereupon voted unanimously. That the reasons assigned for the proposed measure, so far as it respects this church, are entirely satisfactory; and that the church is ready to concur in the design. Voted, To send five delegates to accompany the pastor at the proposed formation of the college church; and, that the Pastor be requested to reciprocate the assurances of regard and fraternity so kindly expressed by the Uni- versity towards us. 396 Records of the First Church in Cambridge.

The Committee appointed to consider and report upon the method of conducting the public worship have at- tended to the service and report. That the Overseers of the College in Oct. 1812, ac- cepted and recommended to the attention of the Corpora- tion a Report of the semiannual Committee of the Over- seers, explicitly advising a distinct religious service within the University; that the University soon after resolved upon the erection of University Hall with a view, among other objects, to providing a Chapel, sufficiently capac- Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 397 ious for the assembly contemplated in such a service and in the expectation that, when it should be completed, the publick worship and instructions of the University on the Lord's day would be conducted within its walls. The acknowledged benefits that may be expected to attend such a measure, especially that arising from the opportunity it will afford of a degree of appropriateness in the exercises and of particularity and adaption in the instructions, which the claims of a mixed congrega ion do not allow; The convenience of calling the attention of the students on one part of the Lord's day to the dis- courses in a systematic form, hitherto delivered less advantageously on a week day; the approved practice o other Universities; and the accomodations & means lor adopting it in this Institution which will soon be enjoyed, are considerations which strongly enforce the establish- ment in question; whilst, at the same time, th^y explam the change meditated in perfect consistency with that (90) entire respect and affection which the ^f^^ tains towards the pastor and people of ^^e first Parish in the town, with which she has, from the beginmng, been united in pubhc acts of religion. The Committee propose the following votes 1 That when the Chapel shall be completed, the usual services of the Lord's day shall be observed therem-on which the resident Graduates & Undergraduates sl^l attend, and to which the several officers of the College with their families shall be invited. 2 That proper measures be taken for forming a church and administering the ordinances in the chapel; mem- bers of the College government with t^-r famd es, ^ students, Graduates & Undergraduates to be the only stated communicants. , rn • ^- ;„ +Uo 3 That the Charge of presiding and officiating in the public services thus appointed, and performing othei ministerial offices be committed to the President and the Hollis Professor of Divinity. 4. That when the services shall commence, the public 398 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. lecture of the Professor, now assigned to Tuesday of each week in term time, shall be delivered on one part of the day on the Sabbath. 5. That such modification and transfer of the duties now incumbent on the President be made, as this new service shall appear to demand and the interests of College may admit. (91) 6. That these votes be presented to the Overseers, that they may approve the same if they see fit; and if they be thus approved. 7. That the President, with such as the Overseers may join, be a committee to give notice to the minister and Congregation of the first parish in Cambridge of the intended change, and to express the sentiments of regard and fraternity felt by the members of the several College Boards, and the desire of Christian and friendly com- munion between the two Societies that may be formed; and that the President and Treasurer be a committee to agree with them upon the connexion which the college shall in future have with said parish.

Letter from the Com*®® of Corporation & Overseers. Harvard College Oct. 19, 1814. To the Pastor, the Church & Congregation in the first parish in Cambridge; Christian friends, The joint Committee of the Corporation & Overseers, appointed for the purpose, herewith com- Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 399 municate the votes & proceedings of those Boards respect- ing the formation of the members of the University into a distinct Society, for religious instruction, worship and ordinances on the Lord's day. In announcing to you the proposed change, the Committee, in behalf of all the persons immediately connected with the University, and especially that portion of them resident here and accustomed to meet with you in the weekly duties of the sanctuary, are constrained to observe, that the idea of separation is attended with serious & tender emotions. This united service is endeared & consecrated by its association with former times, with the circumstances of our fathers & the dispensation of Providence towards the Commonwealth, the Town & the University from their commencement to the present period; and by the affecting recollection of that succession of enlightened & pious persons of both societies, who, through many generations, have assembled for the public acts of religion within the same walls. The ties of neighbourhood & friendship, the sympathy & regard naturally produced by a communion in religious acts, the experience of (93) edification & comfort in attendance upon your services, combine to make us wish to continue going to the house of God in company. But the reasons suggested in the doings of the Boards for a separation have been thought sufficient to outweigh objections and justify any sacrifice of personal feelings & inclinations which it might involve. They lead us to believe, that the measure though in some respects undesirable and painful, yet viewed in all its cir- cumstances & bearings, may receive your approbation and good wishes. We ask you to join us in prayer to God that it may conduce to the interests of true religion in the Seminary committed to our care. We trust that whilst divided in place we shall be united in affection and live in the interchange of Christian offices of brotherly esteem & love, as occasion may invite or require. We acknowledge 400 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. with gratitude the uniform expression of soUcitude for our best interests on the part of the pastor, people, & all the means of improvement & reformation with which we have been favored under the highly respected minis- try of this place. May the blessing of God be on you and your children forever. We ask the church to concur with our design, by dis- solving the connexion of such members connected with the University as may apply for that purpose; also to be present by their pastor & delegates at the formation of a church within the walls of the University We also request the Parish to appoint a Committee to meet that of the Corporation to agree upon the connexion, which the University shall in future have with the Parish. In behalf of the Committee, John T. Kirkland Rev. D"". Holmes. Chairman. (94) IV. Answer to the preceding letter. To the President & Legislative Government, the officers & Members, of the University in Cambridge. Respected brethren & friends. I received a communication of the 2P* ult. signed in your behalf by the President, respecting the formation of the members of the University into a distinct Society for religious instruction, worship and ordinances, and communicated it to the Congregation after divine service, the last Lord's day. To that part of it which relates to the Church, the atten- tion of the Church was directed ; and I send you the votes, passed on the occasion. By one of these votes I am requested in behalf of the Church, to reciprocate the assurances of respect, affection and fraternity, so kindly expressed by the University toward us. In performing this duty, I can truly respond to you, "That the idea of a separation is attended with serious and tender emotions" The association of our "united service" with former years; a recurrence to the times Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 401 that have gone over us, to the eventful changes in the college, commonwealth, and country, to the great and good men of both Societies, who have, in succession, for nearly two centuries, unitedly worshipped within the same walls, and particularly our illustrious predecessors in the presidency and ministry, distinguished for their learning and piety; and the interesting recollections of our own experience, the remembrance of those excellent (95) Men, in the several offices of government and instruction in the University, now sleeping in the dust, with whose friendship, counsels and assistance we were favoured; respect and esteem for their successors now in office, and the comforts and benefits of the existing relations; the ties of neighbourhood, literary association, social inter- course, united devotions, and Christian fellowship; and the regards we entertain for the Pupils, who compose so important a part of our assembly, and whose improve- ment in knowledge and virtue has been the object of our incessant desire and prayer, conspire to render the thought of a separation equally solemn and affecting. Allowing ourselves, however, to be influenced, on this occasion, by no other consideration than a regard to the best interests of the University, we cannot but acquiesce in a measure, designed for its benefit. Our prayer to GOD is, that it may, in all respects, be of kindly & salutary influence, and, particularly that it may conduce to the religious interests of the University — a Seminary con- secrated "TO CHRIST & THE CHURCH." We are grateful for your benovelent petitions for us ; and ask you to continue the prayers which you so affection- ately offer for us and our children. May brotherly love continue. Short as is the distance, and small as will be the partition, between the places of our respective reUgious services, we indulge the pleasing- persuasion, that we shall be united in affection, and that that the interchange of fraternal and Christian offices as occasion shall invite or require, will be perpetuated. 402 Records of the First Church in Cambridge. (96) We gratefully acknowledge the regard, uniformly shown us by the University, and the numerous acts and offices of kindness and fraternity we have experienced as individuals, and especially as a church and society. The remembrance of them will be always precious to us. Brethren, farewell. "We bless you out of the house of the Lord.'' In behalf of the Church, Abiel Holmes, Pastor. Cambridge 5 Nov"" 1814. COVENANT. The Covenant subscribed by the members of the College Church, is dated, ''Harvard College Nov. 6, 1814." After a recital of the provisions of the College Govern- ment "for public worship & instruction in the Semi- nary, the formation of a Church, and the administration of Christian ordinances and discipline therein," it is added. "The undersigned are desirous of concurring in these views of the College Legislature; trusting that the measure proposed will meet the divine blessing, and be found conducive to the interests of religion & virtue in this place of education. ' ' "We do therefore, in the presence of God, in the name "of Jesus Christ his Son, and in humble dependance on * * his spirit agree to become members of a Christian Church "in the University, of the Congregational denomination. "We consider this act, by which we thus unite, as a ' ' deliberate testimony of our belief in the Christian relig- "ion & our desire to be the subjects of its influence, & ' ' partakers of its blessings ; as an engagement to observe "Christian worship & ordinances with the Church, as we ' ' shall have opportunity ; as a pledge of brotherly love & "of the duty of mutual encouragement & assistance in ' ' promoting in ourselves & others the power of religion ; * ' & finally, as a solemn acknowledgement of the word of "God, as the rule of our faith and practice."

At a meeting of the Church for the election of a Deacon; after prayer by the Pastor for the divine direction and blessing and the recital of the apostical instructions and precedents on the subject, the brethren proceeded to bring in their written votes, and it appeared, that the whole number of votes was ten, nine of which were for brother James Munro. He was accordingly declared to be chosen a Deacon of this Church. Sept. 6. After the morning Sermon (Lord's day) the Pastor, having admitted four members in full communion into Records of the First Church in Cambridge. 413 the church, mentioned the election of brother James Munro to tlie oflice of Deacon, and his acceptance. The Deacon elect, signifying his acceptance by taking his seat, this day, with the Deacons near the communion table, rose, on being addressed by the Pastor, who briefly stated to him the duties of the office to which he was elected, exhorted him to fidelity, and announced him Deacon of this Church. In the concluding prayer, immediately following, he was commended to the grace & blessing of God. It had been the usage of the church, at the commun- ion service, for the members to remain in their own pews. To lessen the time and to facilitate the duties of this service, on the suggestion of the Deacons, the Pastor recommended it to the communicants to seat themselves in the pews on the broad Aisle. These pews were accord- ingly, occupied at the communion, this day. (107) 1819.

Voted, 2diy That in pursuance of the object, and sub- ject to the several conditions expressed in the first vote, this Church do now invite and call M'" Nehemiah Adams, junior — who has been heard by us for several Sabbaths with high approbation, and in whom we have full confidence — to the office of Colleague Pastor in this Church, in connexion with the Rev. D''. Holmes as senior Pastor. [136] 1829 Voted, Z'^^y That a committee of three be appointed to communicate a copy of the foregoing preamble and votes to "The Shepard Congregational Society." and request their Concurrence with us : and if said Society do concur, that said Committee Communicate to M'".

Baptized and died. OB. Owned the covenant and wae ljai)tized. CB. Bap- tized and admitted to communion. In the index the date before the name is the year in which tlie name was entered on the record. The names of the parents of tlie children who were baptised or died have not been in- dexed, as tliey can readily be found by turning to tlie baptism or death. There are a number of negroes mentioned on the record.s, these are indexed under the heading "Negroes," under their surname when that is given on the records, but in many cases only their given name is recorded. No attempt has been made to index the names whicli are only incidently mentioned, as owing the churcli money, bringing in wood and so forth. When the transaction is of sullicient importance their names may l>e found in the general index at the end of the Index of Names. For list of names of those who sent in supplies and wood to the ministers, see pages 180 182-184 to 1!)2. ABBOTT. M 1822 Elizabeth B 499 M 1714 George 73 O 1715 George 65 C ITK!
