PREFACE.
THIS, the fourth published volume of Watertown Records, comprises the only two volumes specially devoted to ecclesias- tical affairs now extant. The records of congregational and precinct affairs are in the one book, entered the one at the beginning, the other at the end of the book which has been reversed. The pastors' records are those of a book kept by the Rev. John Bailey, Henry Gibbs, Seth Storer, Daniel Adams, Richard R. Elliot and Convers Francis. The many pages of the record devoted by Pastor Bailey to his pious meditations, ejaculations and hints upon Bible texts, the Com- mittee has not deemed to be of sufficient present interest to be now reproduced. Of the many pages occupied with his remarks made at Communion services, only a few selected portions are given, to indicate their general character. As he intended them to serve only as private memoranda, he wrote them in a much abbreviated form, using the common abbreviation of "y" in place of "th" with most all words beginning with those two letters, using the Greek "X" i.e. "Ch" for Christ, "I. X." for Jesus Christ, and "H. G." for Holy Ghost, and others then readily understood by him at least.
