S. Bp. Connect.
To the Reverend Mr. ROGER VIETS. CLAREMONT, Jan. 17th, 1787. DEAR SIR,
Whereas Mr. Ambrose Cossitt informed this church that it was pro- bable they might obtain the Rev. Mr. Viets to be their minister in this town, we being anxious to do everything in our power to promote our most Holy Religion, and would lose no time in procuring so good a man as Mr. Viets - we therefore held a vestry on this day, and after discoursing on this subject, came to the following vote, viz .: That the Wardens give the Rev. Mr. Viets of Simsbury a call to this Church. We therefore, in behalf of said Church, as well as ourselves, do humbly ask the Rev. Mr. Viets to make us a visit in this Town as soon as convenience will admit, and tarry with us a few sundays if convenient with your affairs, in which time you can determine whether you would settle with us or not, which favor we shall gratefully acknowledge, as well as think ourselves bound to compensate for the same.
· He had been to Nova Scotia some months previously to prepare a place for his family at Digby.

APPENDIX.
We would also mention that money being so scarce this part of the Country we would propose paying you in Wheat, Flour, or Meat Stock.
We do not mention the State of the Church in the several towns on Conn. River in this Country, as we suppose Mr. Cossitt has given you a particular account.
To We are Reverend Sir in behalf
The Reverend Mr. Viets,
of the Church your affectionate
Simsbury, Friends and humble servant,
Connecticut.

Wardens.
Fragment of a letter from Samuel Peters of London to Rev. Roger Viets of Digby, Nova Scotia, taken from the letter-book of R. V. at Digby, July, 1895, by George H. Hoadley. The first seven pages of the book are missing. The book consists mostly of letters from the secretaries of the S. P. G. and R. V.'s letters in return.
" If you had chosen to have gone to New Brunswick, you would have enjoyed Parliament grant to that Colony, and not what is given to Nova Scotia Colony. The Society have done as well by you as by Scovil and Andrews &c, but they could not allow acts of Parliament, nor they ever discriminate between you and Scovil. They meant to have you seat yourselves according to your own wishes and choice, as well as possible. 'You cannot receive any salary cash or before the act of Parliament took place, and so early does your salary begin as Dr. Morice has written you. I beg that you and all the Clergy of my acquaintance, to write your letters to Dr. Morice (as Secretary) in such a manner as if they were to be printed verbatim and literatim; we were never careful enough while in Conn. in forming our public letters, but wrote as if we had been writing to a friend, whereas the Society expects formality, as among them are sundry members not friendly to the Missionaries or the Missions, who are members ex officio and not by choice. Tell this to our good brethren. The Yorkers found this out and guarded against it, and so obtained character better than others who were better men. Governor Franklin is sensible, as to his sincerity, you may be a better judge than others. His assistance may be useful on your side of the water, but here he cannot help you if his friendship extended beyond himself. Whigs rule the roost, and will continue to do so until the talked of Compensation is made to the Loyalists.
Gov. Franklin may be in office again when Tories reign again.
As to my being bishop of Acadia, I do not expect it, but I hope to prevent you from being tormented with a bad and useless bishop.
The American clergy are here styled Tories, except Duche, Coombes, Inglis and R-11, and that with the baseless Face, made by the rub-

bing on the Stony Hearts of Bps and great men, sent Chandler without a Mitre back to the Jersies, where he will find as much sincerity and honour in his light of life, as he ever manifested here in the day thereof.
The painters of old were inspired when they drew poor silly fortune without eyes, for she knows not what the day will bring forth till the dye is cast, it was so from the beginning, and therefore brother Weeks was the only man among all your friends, who knew how to advise you.
Teaze not yourself about it, but like Issachar bow down between two burdens, starvation and complaint. Weeks has not always believed that whatever is, is right, this idea he learnt from being curate at Halifax, and loosing Annapolis Mission, to show his gratitude to Dr Morice and me who got him the place, on account of his family and his fair promises and prayers. When he got to Halifax, he discovered his talents to be very great, and his oratory greater, which Heavenly blessing he could not think of hiding under a bushel at Annapolis, as his preaching was highly approved of in Halifax, where the " Court was."
My influence goes no farther with the Court or Society than 27 years. Experience has gained, and King Ahasuerus, with 127 prisoners under him, could not cure the gout, nor keep off a single pain, and though he rotted in Cloth of Gold, I shall be as well off as he, when I sleep in a shroud spun by the spider and the worm. Do you believe that Byles, Walter, or Weeks, would vote me to be your Bishop, while each of them is bound in his own conscience to vote for himself, they all having had their birth in Mass. Bay, and do you think I should be of any service to your Church and comfort to myself if I was your bishop ? I am not afraid nor ashamed to say, I am more able and better qualified to be a bishop than many here, and even Provost and White, who were consecrated at Lambeth on the 4th Feb., 1787, by our own Arch Bishop and Bps. " to frighten the Beast of Ephesus " (N. London alias).
The first wonder in Heaven St. John saw while at Patmos, was a woman, and the second was Michael and his Angels contending with the great red dragon and his angels. All I can say now is, " come and see " the Event of - divide et impera - a factious and rnined people.
If our Bps. and Clergy were as zealous for the Church as the Romish Clergy are, we should have no dissenters. My mind glows with zeal for the church of my God and the offices thereof, but I am like the impotent man, unable to help myself, and few or none here doth good.
If the Church is supported in purity, it will be in your Country, not in Europe, and all that supports it now is, the Court, who use the Bps. as the monkey used the Cat, they all divine for money, and the dissenting Whigs love to have it so. When I come to you with power, I will do you good ; in the meantime, I will not forget our juvenile friendship, nor have I done it, altho I have not been of essential service to you, and therefore merit not your thanks.

APPENDIX.
Dr. Warren preached before the Society this day. He is Bishop of Bangor, and was only heard by us in his Belly. My daughter was safely delivered of a son 24th Jan., 1787, and I am now made old at 50 and going on.
I have tired and worn out my pen to convince you that I have not forgot your fidelity and friendship. I have wrote by two ships last autumn to you. Scovil and Andrews we heard of at New London.
Kiss my sister Phebe her young branches about her table.
Jonathan Trumbull is dead and went mad to his own place, because he had so lived. Judas and he are spans.
Adieu, dear sir.

NOVI ORBIS APOSTOLI SIT NOMEN PERENNE
SEABURY'S MITRE: IN TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD, CONN.
This mitre with its crown of thorn, Its cross upon the front ; Not for a proud adorning worn, But for the battle's brunt : This helmet -with Salvation's sign, Of one whose shield was faith ; This crown - of him, for right divine Who battled unto death !
Oh ! keep it-till the moth shall wear Its comeliness to dust,
Type of a crown that's laid up where There is nor moth nor rust ; Type of the Lord's commission given To this, our Western shore ; The rod of Christ-the keys of heaven, Through one, to thousands more.
A. C. COXE, Bp. of Western New York.
