I am gratefully Senfible of ye refpect shewn me by this Peo- ple & in return can tell them I am truly their Friend & am ready, So far as my little abilities admit, to Serve them in all things that are duty & that are for ye beft.
That I might rightly return an anfwer to your Propofals I truft I have candidly & faithfully examined both my own & ye circumftances of ye people & hope I have with Submiffion & humble & hearty prayer refigned ye Matter up to ye Difpofal of Him that difpofes of all things in ye Kingdoms Nature, Prov- idence & Grace for his own glory and ye good of his people and on the whole, with due diffidence & diftruft of myfelf, I muft honeftly Say, according to ye light I have & ye best opinion I can form that I does not appear beft to accept ye propofals or
