Mr. Bayley discontinued his service there in the spring of 1680; and in 1682 removed to Killington, Conn., where he re- mained for ten years. He removed to Roxbury, Mass., in 1692, and became a physician. He died at Roxbury June 18, 1707, at the age of fifty-six. During his service in Salem Village, a great

lack of unity constantly caused trouble, yet he remained for seven years and performed faithful service. The uncertainty of his position there was undoubtedly the occasion of many of the dis- agreements. There were about fifty householders and only about eleven or twelve members of the Salem church. Criticism of his ability on the part of some and lack of support by others were common.
Dec. 26, 1672, the Farmers voted to build a meeting house thirty-four feet long, twenty-eight feet wide and sixteen feet between joints. The building committee consisted of the above committee and Nathaniel Putnam, Henry Kenny, Joseph Hutch- inson and Joseph Putnam. The money to pay for it was to be raised by taxation.
Nathaniel Ingersoll conducted a tavern on the northeasterly side of what is now Center Street, about midway between Hobart and Ingersoll streets; and he was authorized by the selectmen of the town to sell beer and cider by the quart while the Farmers were building their meeting house and on Lord's days afterwards. This he continued to do until 1681.
In 1684, the meeting house was incomplete, as it was then voted that it "shall be filled and daubed where it wants below the beams and plates and that six casements shall be hung in the meeting house and that there be a canopy set over the pulpit." Galleries were added a little later. The meeting house was built on the northerly side of Hobart Street about one hundred and fifty feet easterly of Forest Street, on land of Joseph Hutchinson who conveyed an acre of it to the "inhabitants of the Farms," "for the meeting house and ministry amongst them."
After Mr. Bayley had ceased to be the pastor, the parish voted, Feb. - , 1680-I, to build a parsonage house forty-two feet long, twenty feet wide and thirteen feet stud, with four chimneys and no gable ends, and that a rate of two hundred and twenty-one pounds, nine shillings and six pence should be made to meet the expense. It was completed within about a year.
The Salem court ordered, June 26, 1677, that the town of Salem should choose a committee to order highways for the convenience of the Farmers or Villagers.
The general court had directed that although there was no church, two men should be chosen each year to act as deacons, especially to collect money and settle with the minister. The first deacons, Lt. John Putnam and Nathaniel Ingersoll, were chosen in December, 1679. The next year, they were Lt. Thomas Putnam and Serg. Jonathan Walcott. In 1683, Nathaniel Inger- soll was elected in place of Walcott, and, in 1686, Walcott was elected in place of Thomas Putnam.

HISTORY OF SALEM
Mr. Bayley's successor was Rev. George Burroughs, who came to the Village to preach in November, 1680. It was voted to give him a salary of sixty pounds a year. He graduated from Harvard College in 1679; and after preaching in Casco (now Portland), Maine, awhile he came to Salem Village. His wife died in 1681, but he had received but little, if any, of his salary, and had no money to pay her funeral expenses. The next year, he gave up the pastorate, as the disputes and contentions were too dispiriting to him in his loneliness. He returned to Maine early in 1683. He was there in 1690, when the Indian raid oc- curred, and went to Wells, where he preached a year. He was a small, black-haired man, with a dark complexion and possessed of quick passions and great strength.
Daniel Epps, the Salem schoolmaster, preached there be- tween Burroughs and Lawson, the next minister, for many weeks.
Rev. Deodat Lawson of Boston succeeded Mr. Burroughs in the Village in the winter of 1683-4. He had been thoughtful of going there since the preceding May. His salary was sixty pounds. He left in 1688. The old factions continued with in- creasing bitterness among young and old.
Then came Rev. Samuel Parris, who was ordained Nov. 19, 1689, the day of the organization of the church and of his in- duction as its pastor. He was born in London, and was then thirty-five. He had attended Harvard College, but did not gradu- ate. He was then a merchant in the West Indies and in Boston. He was a year in coming,-a year in bargaining.
The following is a copy of the covenant of the church, which was adopted at its establishment :-
We whose names (tho unworthy of a name in this church) are hereunto subscribed, Lamenting our own great unfitness for such an Awful and solemn approach unto the Holy God and deploring all the miscarriages committed by us, either in the Days of our unregen- eracy or since we have been brought into acquaintance with God, in the communion of his churches which we have heretofore been related unto: And yet apprehending ourselves called by the Most High to Embody ourselves into a different society, with a sacred covenant to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and Edifie one another according to the Rules of his holy word, Being persuaded in matters of Faith accord- ing to the Confession of Faith owned and consented unto by the Elders and Messingers of the churches assembled at Boston in New-England. May-12-1680 which for the substance of it, we now own and profess
We, do, in some measure of sinceritie, this day give up our selves unto God in Christ, to be for him and for another, at the same time renouncing all the vanities and Idols of this present evil world.
We give up ourselves, and offspring, unto the Lord Jehovah, the one true and living God, in three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy

Ghost. To God the Father of our Lord Christ, as to our Reconciled God and Father in Christ Jesus; and unto Christ Jesus as our King, Priest and Prophet, and only Mediator : And unto the Holy Ghost as our only Sanctifyer and Comforter : As to our Best good and Last End : promising, (with divine help) to live unto, and upon, this one God in three Persons : hoping at length to live forever with him.
We do likewise give up ourselves one unto another in the Lord, engaging, (with divine aid) as a church of God to Submit to the order, Discipline and Government of Christ in this his church, and to the Ministerial teaching, guidance, and oversight of the Elder (or Elders) thereof, as to such as watch for our Souls; And also to a mutuall brotherly watchfulness according to Gosple Rules, so long as by such Rules we shall continue in this Relation to each other: And promise also to walk with all regular and due communion with other churches of our Lord Jesus, and in all cheerful endeavor to support and observe the pure Gospel institutions of our Lord Redeemer so far as He shall graciously reveal unto us his will concerning them.
In order hereunto:
We resolve uprightly to study what is our duty, & to make it our greif, & reckon it our shame, whereinfoever we find our selves to come short in the difcharge of it, & for pardon thereof humbly to betake our selves to the Blood of the Everlasting Covenant.
And that we keep this Covenant, & all the branches of it inviol- able for ever, being sensible that we can do nothing of our selves,
We humbly implore the help & grace of our Mediator may be sufficient for us : Beseeching that whilft we are working out our own Salvation, with fear & trembling, He would gratiously work in us both to will, & to do. And that he being the Great Shepherd of our Souls would lead us into the paths of Righteoufnefs, for his own Names sake. And at length receive us all into the Inheritance of the Saints in Light.
