1 To the Pastor & Church of Christ in Pittsfield, Rev. & beloved, The Subscriber has found , That Woodbridge Little Esq. did draw up a Paper of withdrawment from Mr. Allen's Ministry & for calling in amother Minister, & setting up a seperate Worship among us, that of the Church of Eng- land, although he hath not actually so withdrawn from us, & so creating a Schism & Division in the Church & Town, without saying anything to Mr . Allen previously to it &; that he signed said paper with his name ,with money to effect the object, & committed it for circulation through the Town into the hands of Mr. Allen's political adver - saries without giving him any Intimation of it . "hich conduct I viewed as being contrary to the law of love, & the peace & Unity of this Church & Town, of very hurtful tendency, tending to perpetuate Divisions amo ne us,& to introduce a mode of worship if not a System of Doctrines we do not approve of. I have accordingly taken the Gospel steps with him recorded in the 18 Chap. of St.Mat. to convince him of his Error in so doing, he hath indeed
