London, as a preacher, that his call for a settlement at N. London, was unanimous, and a salary of £100, and a gratuity or settlement of £240. The New London church, the day before the ordination of Mr. Byles, rejected the Saybrook Platform as a rule of discipline in that church. Mr. Byles was grievously afflicted by the Rogerenes, (the followers of John Rogers,) or Quakers or Rog- erene Baptists. (See Caulkins.)
In April, 1768, Mr. Byles closed his ministry in N. London, by declaring himself a convert to the ritual of the Church of England, and at once called a church meeting and asked for a forthwith dis- mission from that church, to give him an opportunity to accept a call to become the pastor of an Episcopal church in Boston. By a letter from the wardens and vestry of the North Church in Boston, dated March 8, 1768, he acknowledged himself an Episcopalian, and accepted a call made by them, at a salary of £200. April 2, 1768, Mr. Byles made a formal demand for dismission. " Voted, that this society do fully comply with his request." The church record as brief. " April 12, 1768. The Rev. Mr. Mather Byles dismissed himself from the church and congregation." Mr. Byles left New London in great haste, on board of a packet for Newport, soon after his dismission. He preached at N. London, between ten and eleven years. (See Caulkins' Hist. N. L. Col. Rec.) He gave back to N. London, on his dismission, his previous settlement of £240.
He graduated at Harvard Coll., 1751, successor of Rev. E. Ad- ams, 1757.
Byle has one coat of arms. Byles has one.
* In a Boston newspaper of April 14, 1768, is the following notice, viz. "We hear that Christ's Church, at the North End, have made choice of the Rev. Mather Byles, of New London, for their minister. That he accepted the same, and soon expected in town, to embark for orders."
