And with regard to the accusation against Decon Davis, As above expressed; it is our opinion that the Sd Deacon unhap- pily Deveated from his Duty, in absenting himself from the Holy Sacrament, & in neglected a Seasonable prepraration of the Elements & vessels necessary in the administration of the Same ; and we think it his duty to disapprove of his conduct In that matter, which we Judge he may sufficiently do by an Express approbation of this our result of Council at this time in the presence of this assembly.


We are Happy to observe so much Charity, Candor, and Christian Temper, as hath appeared in the managment of this Controversy, Since we have been present; and add our fervent and Devout prayers, that a spirit of love, truth and a sound mind may ever abundantly prevail in this place; that it may please the Great Head of the Church to afford you his richest blessings with A preached Gospel and the ordenances of it; to build you up in Faith and Love, and in his own time to present you all Faultless before the presence of his Glory with Exceeding Joy.
