The connection of Mr. Brattle with his church for more than twenty years was peaceful and successful. His connection with the college, as Tutor and Fellow was even longer, and equally

pleasant and beneficial. After the death of his brother, Thomas Brattle, he skilfully performed the duties of Treasurer of the College, for about two years. At the election of President, Oct. 28, 1707, he had one vote.1 His literary attainments were further recognized by his election as a member of the Royal Soci- ety, - an honor conferred on very few Americans. After "a languishing distemper which he bore with great patience and resignation," he " died with peace and an extraordinary serenity of mind," Feb. 15, 1716-17, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. An obituary appeared in the " Boston News Letter," dated Feb. 25, in which it is said that his " good name while he lived was better than precious ointment, and his memory, now being that of the just, will be always blessed. They that had the happiness to know Mr. Brattle, knew a very religious, good inan, an able divine, a laborious, faithful minister, an excellent scholar, a great benefactor, a wise and prudent man, and one of the best of friends. The promoting of religion, learning, virtue, and peace, every where within his reach, was his very life and soul, the great busi- ness about which he was constantly employed, and in which he principally delighted. Like his great Lord and Master, he went (or sent) about doing good. His principles were sober, sound, moderate, being of a catholic and pacific spirit." In a preface to Dr. Sewall's sermon on the death of Rev. Ebenezer Pemberton, Dr. Mathier fully corroborates the foregoing testimony : " In the same week another faithful minister of God was taken away, viz. the Rev. Mr. William Brattle, pastor of the church in Cam- bridge, whom also I had reason to have an intimate acquaintance with, for that I presided over the College all the time of liis be- ing a Fellow and a Tutor there ; and I had much comfort in his conversation. Had I not known his abilities, I would not have advised the precious Church in Cambridge to have elected and
1 It is not unlikely that this vote was given by Inerease Mather, D. D. A MS. letter from Mr. Brattle to him, dated May 8, 1707, preserved in the Library of Har- vard College, indicates their mutual re- speet and affection. After hearty thanks for a book which he had recently received, Mr. Brattle says : "As to the affairs of the College, I wish they were under better eireumstanees than they are : I do not hear but that the Commencement is like to be earry'd on as of late: If not, I would with all earnestness wish that your- self would once more honor that society
and that day with your presence and managements. I know it would be very great eondeseension in yourself ; but be- cause of the special service which would come thenee, and for the sake of the pub- lie glory that would attend it, I cannot but wish it. I have deep resentments of your respeets to my unworthy self : it is what I am most apt to be proud of, that I have in any measure your siniles. The argument you urge my compliance from in case and of your presence, &e., is with- out flattery the greatest temptation from the head of honor that could assault me."

ordained him their pastor, and at their and his desire performed that office of respect and love on Nov. 25, 1696. He that holds the stars in his right hand was pleased to uphold him in the pastoral office some months above twenty years. I am glad to see his character already published, and that it is done without hyperbolizing, that which is there said of him being true, and nothing but justice to his memory. Where shall there be found a suitable successor ? " This surely does not indicate such a jealousy and antagonisin between Dr. Mather and Mr. Brattle as some historians have represented.
It would seem that hitherto, very few pews had been con- structed in the meeting-house ; instead of which there were long seats appropriated to individuals by the " seaters of the meeting- house." But early in Mr. Brattle's ministry, March 14, 1697-8, the town " voted, that there should be a pew made and set up between Mr. Samuel Gookin's pew and the stairs on the south- east corner of the meeting-house for the family of the ministry." Soon afterwards, July 11, 1698, " on the motion of Mr. John Leverett and Doctor James Oliver, the Selectmen do grant that they shall have convenient place in the meeting-house for the ac- commodation of their respective families ; the place or places to be set out to them by the Selectmen, the Elders consenting thereto : the places which they desire are on each side of the east door of the meeting-house." This meeting-house, having stood some- what more than fifty years, had become dilapidated, and the in- habitants of the town voted, July 12, 1703, " that they apprehend it necessary at this time to proceed to the building of a new meet- ing-house, and in order thereunto, there was then chosen Capt. Andrew Belcher, Esq., Thomas Brattle, Esq., John Leverett, Esq., Col. Francis Foxcroft, Esq., Deacon Walter Hastings, Capt. Thomas Oliver, and Mr. William Russell, a committee to advise and consider of the model and charge of building said meeting- house, and to make report of the same to said inhabitants." Final action was delayed until December 6, 1705, when it was " voted that the sum of two hundred and eighty pounds be levied on said inhabitants, toward the building a new meeting-house amongst them." Thanks were voted by the town, March 8, 1707-8, to " the Honble Andrew Belcher, Esq.," for his gift "toward build- ing our new meeting-house." The same generous benefactor had previously given a bell, as mentioned in a former chapter. On the 28th of September, 1703, the College granted sixty pounds " out of the College Treasury towards the building a new meet-

ing-house ; " and, August 6, 1706, " voted that Mr. Leverett with the Treasurer take care for the building of a pew for the Presi- dent's family in the meeting-house now a building, and about the students' seats in the said meeting-house ; the charge of the pew to be defrayed out of the College Treasury." This third house stood on or very near the spot occupied by the second, and seems to have been opened for public worship, Oct. 13, 1706, as Mr. Brattle's record of Baptisms shows that on that day he first bap- tized a child in that house, having performed a similar service in the College Hall on the previous Sabbath.
As before stated, Mr. Brattle died Feb. 15, 1716-7. On the next day after his decease, the town " voted, that the charge of wine, scarves, and gloves, &c., for the bearers at the funeral of our late Pastor, the Rev. Mr. William Brattle, deceased, be de- frayed by the town, and that the deacons and selectmen, by themselves, or any three of them that they may appoint, order the management thereof." An account of money thus disbursed, amounting to £23 17 10, was presented and allowed March 11, 1716-7. Mr. Brattle's remains were deposited under the same slab which marks the resting-place of Dr. James Oliver, wlio deceased April 8, 1703.1
1 On the day of the funeral, Wednes- day, Feb. 20, 1716-7, there was an ex- traordinary snow-storm. The Boston News Letter, dated Feb. 25, says : " Be- sides several snows, we had a great one on Monday the 18th current, and on Wednesday the 20th, it began to snow about noon and continued snowing till Friday the 22d, so that the snow lies in some parts of the streets about six foot high." A more vivid description is given in a letter from Rev. John Cotton, of Newton (who was present at the funeral) to his father, Rev. Rowland Cotton, of Sandwich, dated Wednesday, Feb. 27, 1716-7, and preserved in the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society : " Hond. Father, I left 3 letters at Savel's ys & ye last week, besides 1 I put into Ezra Bourns hand last Wednesday night at Cambridge, we night (as he went to Malden & therc I suppose kept prisoner till now) so I went to Boston, & by reason of ye late great & very deep snow I was detained there till yesterday.

HISTORY OF CAMBRIDGE.
Immediately after the decease of Mr. Brattle the Church adopted measures to supply the vacancy thus occasioned. A meeting for that purpose was duly appointed, and its proceed- ings were minutely recorded by President Leverett, in his Diary, preserved in the Library of Harvard College. As the result was so important, securing the settlement of a pastor who fed the flock of Christ nearly sixty-seven years, almost as long as the combined ministry of his five predecessors, this record is worthy of publication : "Friday, April the 19th, 1717. At a meeting of the Church of Christ in Cambridge. 1. The President being desired by the deacons and brethren opened the meeting with prayer. 2. The deacons proposed that a moderator might be chosen for the ordering and directing the meeting. 3. Voted, that the President be moderator of this meeting. He sub- mitted to the vote of the brethren of the Church, and, opening the design and intention of the meeting, earnestly desired that every body would freely discover their minds and declare what measures they thought proper, and what steps they would take in order to a settlement of the ministry in this place. After a due time of silence Mr. Justice Remington expressed himself, that the nomination of some suitable persons seemed to be the first step to be taken. Some other spake to the same effect. No opposition being expressed, a vote was called and it was voted. 4. Voted, that the brethren express their minds as to nomination in writing, and the three persons that shall have the most votes shall be the persons nominated, out of which an election shall be made of one, in order to be settled in the pastoral office in this

church. Pursuant to this vote, the brethren were desired by the moderator to write and bring in their votes, which they did ; and upon the view, numbering and declaring the vote, Mr. Henry Flint, Mr. Jabez Fitch, and Mr. Nathaniel Appleton were the three persons agreed to be nominated, out of which the brethren should proceed to an election. Accordingly the moderator de- sired the brethren of the Church to bring in their votes for the choice of a person to settle in the ministry in this place, viz. one of three before nominated persons. Pursuant hereto the church brought in their votes in writing. 5. Upon sorting and number- ing the votes, Mr. Nathaniel Appleton was by the church elected to the work of the ministry, in order to the taking upon him the pastoral office as God shall open the way thereunto. This was by a great majority ; the votes for Mr. Appleton being 38, and the votes for Mr. Flynt but 8. The moderator declared to the church their election of Mr. Appleton as aforesaid. 6. It was proposed that those that had not voted for Mr. Appleton in writ- ing might have the opportunity to manifest their satisfaction with the vote that had passed, that the brethren would manifest that they chose him as aforesaid by lifting up their hands, which was complied with, and it is said that there were but two that had acted in the foregoing votes that did not hold up their hands." After appointing a committee to ask the concurrence of the town with the church in their choice, " the moderator concluded the meet- ing with returning thanks to God for the peaceable and comfort- able management of the affairs of the church. Laus Deo." 1 The town concurred, and Mr. Appleton was ordained Oct. 9, 1717. Dr. Increase Mather preached and gave the charge; Dr. Cotton Mather gave the right hand of Fellowship; and they, together with Rev. Messrs. John Rogers, of Ipswich, and Samuel Angier, of Watertown, imposed hands. Ministers and delegates of elev- en churches in Boston, Charlestown, Watertown, Ipswich, New- ton, Lexington, and Medford, "were invited," says President Leverett, "and were all present except Mr. Gibbs, who could not attend by reason of indisposition. The soleninity was car- ried on with as great decency and good order throughout as lias been ever remembered at any time in any place. Laus Deo."
The town, having concurred with the church in the invitation to Mr. Appleton, voted, May 27, 1717, that the sum of one hun-

dred pounds, and the stranger's money, the improvement of the parsonage, and all other perquisites which our late Revd. Pastor . . . . enjoyed, be annually paid to and enjoyed by the Rev. Mr. Nath. Appleton, he settling in the work of the ministry, amongst us, during his continuance therein." The Parsonage erected in 1670 having become dilapidated, the town voted, Aug. 1, 1718, " that the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds be granted for the building a new Parsonage-house, provided the sum of one hundred and thirty pounds of the said money be procured by the sale of town, propriety, or ministry lands in said town, as may be thought most proper to be disposed of for said use." Accord- ingly, the church farm in Lexington was sold, and so much as was not appropriated for the Parsonage was invested in a per- manent fund. The records do not distinctly indicate whether the Parsonage was wholly or only partly rebuilt. But Dr. Holines, writing in 1800, says, " All the ministers, since Mr. Mitchell, have resided at the Parsonage. The front part of the present house, at the Parsonage, was built in 1720." 1 The whole house was taken down in 1843.
The congregation seems to have soon increased, demanding additional room ; and it was voted, Aug. 1, 1718, "that a new upper gallery in our meeting-house over the women, agreeable to the gallery over the men, be erected and built, provided the cor- poration of Harvard College be at the charge of the same ; which the Rev. Mr. President Leverett, on behalf of the College, offered to do ; the whole of the gallery on the south side of our meeting- house being then resigned for the use of the scholars, excepting the two wings of the front seat, which are to be improved by the town till such time as the scholars have occasion for the same, and no longer." Notwithstanding this enlargement of the seat- ing capacity of the house, the people on the westerly side of Me- notomy River desired better accommodation, and as early as May 10, 1725, petitioned the town to consent that they might become a separate precinct. The town withheld its consent, on the ground that " near one half of said inhabitants " had not signed the petition. The request was renewed in 1728, but was not successful until four years later. The General Court having dis- missed the petition of James Cutler and others for incorporation as a religious precinct, Nov. 3, 1732, a new petition, slightly differing in form, was presented soon afterwards; which was granted Dec. 27, 1732, and Menotomy became a precinct, with

substantially the same bounds which were assigned to it when it was incorporated as a town in 1807. This separation appears to have been entirely amicable, and a spirit of Christian fellowship and love is indicated by an act of the church mentioned by Dr. Holmes in " Coll. Mass. Hist. Soc.," vii. 33: "On the Lord's day, September 9, 1739, a church was gathered in this precinct by the Rev. Mr. Hancock of Lexington; and on the 12th day of the same month, the Rev. Samuel Cooke was ordained its pastor. On this occasion, the First Church in Cambridge voted, that £25 be given out of the church stock to the Second Church in Cam- bridge, to furnish their communion table in a decent manner."
In 1753 the First Parish resolved to erect a new meeting-house, and desired the College to defray a part of the expense ; where- upon the corporation voted, Dec. 3, 1753, to pay " one seventh part of the charge of said house," provided the students should have the use of the whole front gallery, and " at least the third or fourth pew as to the choice " be set apart for "the President for the time being and his family." The erection of the house was delayed about three years. It " was raised Nov. 17, 1756, and divine service was first performed in it July 24, 1757."1 Mean- time further negotiation was had with the College, and a prop- osition was made to place the new house farther from the street, which would " very much secure it from fire as well as render the appearance of it much more beautiful," and also would render it " absolutely necessary in order to a suitable accommodation of the Parish that they should be allowed the use of a part of the President's orchard behind their said new meeting-house, where when they come to attend on divine worship they might place their horses, chairs, chaises, &c." Desiring " to make the said situation of the new meeting-house as convenient as may be," the corporation voted, Sept. 6, 1756, to grant to the Parish the use of a strip of land one hundred and sixteen feet and four inches in length by thirty-two feet and ten inches in width, on certain con- ditions ; viz., " (1.) That the scholars' gallery shall be in the front of the said meeting-house, and the fore part of the said gal- lery seventeen feet on a perpendicular line from the said front, and that they shall enjoy all that space of the said front gallery contained within the mitre lines drawn from the angles where the foreparts of the side gallerys meet with the forepart of the front gallery to the corner-posts of the house, saving what shall be cut off from the said mitre lines by a pew at each corner of

said house of about seven feet square.1 (2.) That the said new meeting-house shall front southerly down the street, in the man- ner the old one now doth. (3.) That the front of the said new meeting-house be two and an half or three feet behind the back- side of the old meeting-house. (4.) That there be a liberty for the President of the College to cart into his back yard, viz., at the backside of the said new meeting-house, wood, hay, boards, &c., for his own or the College use, as there shall be occasion for it." These conditions were accepted by a Committee of the Parish. The amount paid by the College is stated at £213 6 8. If this was exactly " one seventh part of the charge," the whole cost of the new house was £1,493 6 8, and the sum payable by the Parish was £1,280.2
1 By consent of the corporation, the width of the gallery was reduced to fifteen feet and seven inches. Also a portion of " the mitral part" of the gallery was re- linquished, "provided, that the part we thus cede to the Parish shall not be occu- pied by the negroes." The pew selected for the President was "that on the left hand entering in at the front door, if it may be had, and if not, then the third pew on the east side of the pulpit." The corporation also paid "for erecting two pews in the scholars' gallery in the new meeting-house for the Tutors to sit in."
