Philadelphia.
On Thursday last the following melancholy Acci- dent happened about two Miles from Burlington, viz. A Shallop, in which were seven Persons going from this City, was overset by a violent Gale of Wind. All the Passengers got upon the Bottom of the Vessel ; but before any Assistance could come to them 4 of them were drown'd, viz. PETER BAYN- TON, Esq ; Mr. JOHN STAPLEFORD ; a Dutch Lad belonging to Mr. Baynton, and a Dutch Man. Mr. BAYNTON was a Merchant of considerable Note in this City for many Years past, and was much esteem'd and belov'd by all who knew him, for his humane and beneficient Temper, and for his religious and upright Deportment in Life. He has left be- hind him a Widow and two Sons, whose Loss is in- expressible Grievous. Mr. STAPLEFORD, was a young Gentleman who serv'd his Apprenticeship under Mr. Baynton, one of whose Kinswomen he had very lately married. He bore a very good Character, especially that of a dutiful and affectionate Son and Brother, and his Death is much lamented by his Acquaintance .-- The Pennsylvania Journal, Feb. 29, 1743-4.

Extract of a Letter from Pennsylvania, dated in Fan. last.
Our religious Affairs here are in a very melancholy Situation at present; and there is but little Prospect of any Change for the better. There is in Philadelphia a Congregation of the Moravian Brethren, to which many of the New Lights have joined. Mr. G. Ten- nant is come to a Congregation of Separatists, who have taken Possession of the great Babel built for Mr. Whitefield, and his Adherents; tho' the Moravians claim the best Right to it, and seem resolved to plead their Property when Mr. Whitefield comes, who is ex- pected in the Spring, and they suppose him to be one of them .- The New-Brunswick Emissaries are continual- ly itinerating thro' the Country, confirming the Divi- sions they have made, and endeavouring to make more; tho' in this last Attempt they don't succeed according to their Wishes : And while these ignorant Novices are encouraged to travel about, there is little Ground to expect, that Peace, Truth, or Gospel Order will pre- vail. Could the Great Gilbert be perswaded to remit these Strollers to their Looms, their Lasts, their Packs, their grubbing-Hoes, from whence, in his great Zeal, he took them, to support his Father's Log-House-Col- lege, we might soon hope to see a new Face of Affairs; but this is not to be expected : And what makes the Prospect still more dark with us is, that some of our Ministers, whom we highly esteem, have, of late, very

much countenanced Tennant and his Party, tho' none, at first, were more warm in their opposition to them .- How far the Reception of Whitefield and Tennant at Boston, and the vast Encomiums given them, by some of the venerable Fathers there, may have influenced them, I can't judge; but this is certain, before that they were of very different Sentiments .-
From the American Weekly Mercury printed at Philadelphia, Feb. 23, 1743, 4.
Last Tuesday the Rev. Mr. George Gillespie, Min- ister of the Gospel at the Head of Christiana Creek, in New Castle County, on Delaware, waited upon the Presbytery of New-Castle, convened at New London Tract, and then and there, in the Presence of said Presbytery and a very numerous Congregation, con- fess'd his Error and Sin in leaving of them, and sol- emnly declared that he was sorry that ever he had left them and joined with the new Party. He ac- knowledged that he had acted rashly and divisively in so doing, and that he was led to it by the Appear- ance of Piety in some of them, and by a Mistake he laboured under by not duely considering and compa- ring the Protestation given in to the Synod, with the Apology of Mr. G. Tennent and the New Brunswick Party.
He declar'd his great Dissatisfaction with Mr. Tennents Nottingham Sermon, judging it to be a sad Engine to rend the Church of Christ to Pieces.
He further acknowledged, that the Letter he wrote and published to the Presbytery of New York, went upon a false Foundation, as if the Apology given in
214
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1744
to the Synod by Mr. Tennant and Party had not been try'd; whereas he was now fully convinced it had been try'd before the Protestation, and that by their adhering to their Apology, and endeavoring to vin- dicate it, they deserved to be excluded from the Synod.
