We have Confidered the Reafon given by you for Abfenting from our Comunion in ye Special Ordinances of the Gofpel, & as we believe you are Confcientious therein think it proper to Obferve yt altho' a Major Part of the Chh did Apprehend you to be under oath when you Said Thos Gray was not in the Pew, yet Several of ye Chh did not think thus, neither do they at prefent. And as a Chh we are now ready to declare that when we heared what you had to Say relating to the Affair we were fully Sat- isfied of your Innocency of ye leaft Defign of Saying, much lefs of Swearing what was falfe.
