1 The course of Gov. Jonathan Belcher in granting patents of incor- poration to religious bodies not of the Church of England was severely criticised by members of the latter denomination. A writer in a Phila- delphia newspaper, in 1768, says : "During a late Administration. the Province of New-Jersey, saw and felt the Effects of Presbyterian Power ; her seats of justice, &c. Commissions of the Peace, were preferably conferred upon them ; their Meeting houses, which now they affect to call churches, were every where incorporated, while Charters were de- nied, not only to Churches [meaning of the Church of England, or Protestant Episcopal], as by Law established, but to other Dissenters, who had equal right with Presbyterians." And see N. J. Archires, Vol. XVIII, pp. 269, 276-8, 283-4, for a legal opinion in 1772 as to the legal status of the Presbyterian clergy in the Colonies.
