2 Gilbert Tennent was one of the most eminent clergymen of his day. The numer- ous references to him in this volume indicate in some degree his prominence in the religious community of the time. He was the oldest son of the Rev. William Tennent, founder of the famous "Log College," at Neshaminy, Pa., where he trained his four sons, Samuel Blair, John Rowland and two others for the ministry before the fall 'of 1739. William was born in 1673, in Ireland, and was a cousin, on his mother's side, of James Logan, Secretary of the Province of Pennsylvania. He married, May 15, 1702, a daughter of the Rev. Gilbert Kennedy, a kinsman of the Earl of Cassilis, and who was in his later years minister of Dundonald, Ireland. William Tennent was ordained by the Bishop of Down, a deacon in July, 1704, and a priest, September 22, 1706. He subsequently became dissatisfied with his church relations, came to America in Sep- tember, 1716, with his wife, four sons-Gilbert, William (b. at Antrim, June 3, 1705), John (b. in the county Armagh, November 12, 1707), Charles (b. in the county Down, May 3, 1711)-and a daughter, and settled, November 22, 1718, at East Chester, New York ; removed, May 3, 1720, to Bedford, and in 1721, to Bensalem and Smithfield, in Bucks county, Pa. He died May 6, 1746.
Gilbert Tennent was b. February 5, 1702 (so said his tombstone-Nonis Feb. MDCCII-doubtless Old Style). Having been educated by his father, he was licensed to preach, May, 1725, by the Philadelphia Presbytery, and in the ensuing fall received the honorary degree of A. M. from Yale, being the third person so favored. He served a short time at Newcastle, but in the fall of 1726 was ordained to take charge of the church at New Brunswick. Norwalk wanted him, but the Fairfield Association con- siderately adjudged that he ought not to be taken from "so destitute a region as the Jersies." He was a man of such intensity of conviction that he was disposed to judge others harshly, and to exaggerate minor differences of opinion. In 1738 lie severely criticised some views of the Rev. David Cowell, of Trenton, on the theme : Is disinter- ested benevolence the essence of holiness? Failing to bring Mr. Cowell over to his views, he laid the correspondence before Synod, and when that body did not decide in his favor, in 1740, he submitted a paper "on the deplorable state of the ministry,

Mr. Parker,
Your giving the following a Place in your Pa- per, will oblige
Your humble Servant, Henricus Aenfiender.
IT is an old Saying, and generally a true One,
that where two differ or quarrel, there are com- monly Faults on both Sides: If this may be said of particular Persons, it holds equally true with regard to Parties in general, especially where Disputes run high, and the Contention has been of some standing.
This Observation may be fitly apply'd to the Dis- putes or Contentions, that for a considerable Time,
as a slighting and shuffling the late debate about the glory of God, and as sanctioning the doctrine that there is no difference between seeking the glory of God and our own happiness, and that self-love is the foundation of all obedience." In this same year he profoundly stirred ecclesiastical circles by a powerful sermon at Northampton, Pa., on "The Danger of an Unconverted Ministry," in whichi he assumed that it was very general for unconverted persons to enter the ministry. In this year, also, he accom- panied the Rev. George Whitefield to Boston. Some of the results of this tour are shown in the newspaper extracts in this volume. Both men excited the strongest emotions -- of love, veneration and hatred. As a result, there followed a revival that extended from New England to Georgia. His sermon on the "unconverted ministry," which Dr. Alexander declares to be "one of the most severely abusive sermons that was ever penned," was largely instrumental in causing a division of the Presbyterian chiureb in 1741, between the Old Side and the New Side, but when the reunion came in 1758 he was elected moderator of the Synod of New York and Philadelphia. In 1742 and 1743 he preached against the Moravians; his criticisms of Count Zinzendorf were exceedingly unjust. In 1743 he was called to the Second Presbyterian church in Phil- adelphia. His extreme views were greatly moderated, and there was less of the pyro- technical than formerly in his preaching and writing. He was chosen to be a member of the first Board of Trustees of the College of New Jersey, under the charter of Oc- tober 22, 1746 (the substance of which is published in this volume, and the fact of its existence in the newspaper advertisements of the day was by the writer of this note first brought to the attention of the College authorities in 1891), and is said to have se- cured important modifications in the charter originally proposed by Gov. Belcher. In 1753 he accompanied President Samuel Davies to England and Scotland to solicit aid for the college, in which they were greatly successful, raising nearly $20.000. He died at Philadelphia, January 23, 1764, in the sixty-second year of his age-Annum agens LXII, said his tombstone, confirming the date given for his birth, 1702, about which there has been much difference.
" Mr. Tennent was above the common stature ; of a prepossessing personal appear- ance, with a voice clear and commanding. An undisguised and open honesty and sincerity marked his manly face; his manner in the pulpit was earnest and impress- ive, and his presence filled his hearers with awe. He was a man of great firmness of purpose ; endowed with an energy that called out his whole soul in whatever he under-

have prevailed in New-Jersey, between a certain Peo- ple known by the Name of Rioters, and some Gen- tlemen who are also distinguished by the Name of Proprietors ; for whilst the former have been guilty of many notorious Riots ; broke open Goals ; set at Liberty Persons there committed for High Treason, and thereby have incurr'd the Penalties of the Laws, and deserve Punishment ; are the latter quite excus- able? are they altogether without Fault, innocent and blameless? No; the Beginning of these Troubles shew the contrary.
took ; abundant in labors ; impulsive perhapsin disposition, but magnanimous ; born to lead rather than to follow ; and greatest in times of emergency and public excitement. In social qualities, he was affable and condescending among friends, although to strangers his grave and dignified demeanor indicated reserve. He was a man of true public spirit, and his influence was great with all classes, rich and poor, black and white. 'There was a dignity and grandeur in his old age. Wisdom bloomed upon his silver locks ; and while the cold hand of time snowed upon his locks, his heart glowed with redoubled love for the church.'"
His first wife (whose maiden name is not known) died shortly before his tour to Boston ; he preached her funeral sermon ! His second wife was Cornelia de Peyster, widow of Matthew Clarkson, a wealthy New York merchant. His marriage to her is alluded to in the not unusual manner of the day, in the extract given on p. 197 of this volume. She died March 19, 1753, aged fifty-seven. Ile married third, Saralı, widow of - Spafford, of New Jersey ; she alone bore him children ; she survived him. He left issue : Gilbert, whom he designed for the ministry, but who was lost at sea ; Elizabeth, who died young; and Cornelia, who married Dr. William Smith, of Southampton, L. I., afterwards a successful physician of Philadelphia; she had two children, of whom one-Miss Elizabeth Tennent Smith-was living in Philadelphia in 1852, "tlie last of a noble lineage."
His separate publications number forty or more. Most of them were issued at Phil- adelphia, and consequently are listed in Hildeburn's Issues of the Press of Pennsylva- nia, in which the sermon noted in the text is No. 1157. Others were' printed at Bos- ton. Dr. Alexander (Log College) enumerated eleven ; Dr. Sprague (Annals American Pulpit), thirty-seven.
The foregoing sketch of this famous divine has been compiled from History of the Presbyterian Church in America, etc., by tlie Rev. Richard Webster, Phildelphia, 1857, 387-97; Presbyterian Magazine, edited by C. Van Rensselaer, Philadelphia, 1852, II.

It was the vigorous Commencing a Number of Law-Suits against these People, that gave Birth to the unhappy Confusions ; some say no less than 30 or 40 Ejectments, for Lands they possessed, were served on them at once: This carried Terror in the Face of it, and must needs fill the Minds of these unhappy People with fearful Apprehensions ; which it seems had the Power to excite them to engage in these desperate and wicked Enterprizes; by which Means those Gentlemen that were particularly inter- ested in the Affair, seeing themselves disappointed of coming at what they expected, and claim'd as their Right, by having their full Swing at Law against these People; they next endeavoured, by every Method and Insinuation, to gain as many as they could, to be Partizans in the Quarrel ; and to make it believed to be the common Cause of Mankind : For Instance, by their Publications, it would seem to be the Case or Concern of the General Proprietors; whereas in Reality and in Fact, it concerns only a few private Purchasers, amongst which happens to be two or three Proprietors of eminent Station and Influence : And, why so fond, either just before, or at the Time of the sitting of Assemblies, to have some of these People apprehended and committed to Goals, as near the Places where the Assemblies were held, as could be, supposing the Rioters bold and daring enough to rescue such Persons? Was it to bring them to Tri- al? No, that does not appear ; since none of them have ever been try'd : And it seems, no great, if any, Endeavours have been used for that Purpose; and
608
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1750
therefore seems as if only calculated upon such Oc- casions, to exasperate the Legislature against them.
But the most frequent Instance, wherein these Gen- tlemen in particular, as well as the C-1 of Propri- etors in general, most eminently are to blame, ap- pears in A Petition from the C-l of Proprietors, to the King's most Excellent Majesty, dated 23 Decem- ber, 17481; and which it seems has been actually ex- hibited to his Majesty ; a Copy whereof I accidentally had a Sight of the other Day, and appears in the printed Votes of the New-Jersey Assembly, in Octo- ber last; I say accidentally, because few Copies are to be seen or met with, tho' I suppose as many have been ordered to be printed off as usual.
In said Petition, they pray, his "Sacred Majesty, to "consider the deplorable Case of his Province of "New-Jersey ; to put a Stop to a growing Rebellion, and to restore his Majesty's Authority and Laws, &c" By which, it is said, Nothing less than an armed Force was intended, and expected for that Purpose: And in order to inforce the Obtaining this their Prayer, they tell his Majesty, "that great Numbers of Men, "taking Advantage of a Dispute subsisting between "the Branches of the Legislature in the Province, "and of a most unnatural Rebellion at that Time "raging in Great Britain, entered into a Combina- "tion, to subvert the Laws and Constitution of the "Province, and to obstruct the Course of legal Pro- "ceedings, &c."
The plain and obvious Sense of which may be re- solved into the following Proposition, viz. That there

1750]
was an Inclination or Design in these People, to sub- vert the Laws and Constitution of the Province; and that the Disputes subsisting between the Branches of the Legislature of the Province, and of a Rebel- lion then in Great Britain, was the Occasion, Spring and Motive with them, of putting what they had be- fore determin'd or design'd, in Execution. A strange Perverting of the true State of the Case! For, as it has been already observed, the Commencing a great Number of Law-Suits, gave Rise to, and at first excited these Rioters, to perpetrate those bold and riot- ous Actions : And, if we may judge from the peace- able behaviour of these People, even before this Time, there is the greatest Probability and Reason imaginable, to conclude, not out of any Disregard to the Constitution of the Province, or a rebellious Principle against his Majesty's Person, Laws or Gov- ernment ; but from a firm Persuasion, that RIGHT, with regard to them, in the present Disputes, was like to be perverted, and they in the End, crushed under the Weight of that Power and Wealth appar- ent on the Side of their Adversaries.
Their further acquainting his Majesty, in said Pe- tition, "that since the first Riot in Essex, in September "1745, they, the said Rioters have gone on like a "Torrent, bearing down all before them ; dispossess- "ing some People of their Estates, and giving them "to their Accomplices, and dividing the Spoil ; the "keeping daily in arm'd Numbers, and travelling oft- "en in arm'd Multitudes, to different Parts of the "Province, for those Purposes ; the presuming to es- "tablish Courts of Justice, and appointing Captains

"and Officers over his Majesty's Subjects ; the Lay- "ing and Collecting of Taxes," are all Things can't be supposed could be done in a Corner ; and yet are such as were not heard of, until the Copy of said Petition appeared ; and perhaps, are those Things that the House of Assembly point at in their Petition to his Majesty, against the said Petition, in October last, and which they there say, they do not admit to be true. But should it be admitted, that something has been done by the Rioters, similar even to all the Facts there related; which I can't believe; never- theless, the Whole is represented with such Hyper- boles and peculiar Aggravations, as very much ex- ceeds the Bounds of Moderation and Truth.
I shall here put an End to my present Observa- tions Shall only say, I am sorry the Contention yet remains ; and that were I to prescribe a Remedy to have it removed, it would be this, that the contending Parties would both join in the Petition to his Majes- ty, not in a Manner aforesaid, to desire an arm'd Force to decide the Controversy; but to beseech his Majesty, that he would be pleased to appoint certain Commissioners for that Purpose: This being ob- tained, I doubt not, we should soon see the Point settled, and the Province restored to perfect Harmo- ny, Peace and Tranquility .- The N.

New York, February 19. Wednesday Night last, Capt. Kip, in a Sloop from the Bay of Honduras, but last from Bermudas, endeavouring to come in here, was drove upon the South Side of the East Bank, and bilged ; the next Day, the Captain with some of the Hands got ashore in a small Boat, on Sandy Hook, and the Day following all the Rest ;- The Captain travel'd round, and arrived here on Friday, and the next Morning gct a Boat, and went down to the Ves- sel; but the extreme hard Weather, prevented their saving any Thing but some of the Sails, &c. and 'tis feared, now the Wind has got to the Eastward, that Vessel and Cargo will be entirely lost. Capt. Kip sail'd from the Bay in October last; but coming on our Coast, met with such hard Weather, as tore all his Sails to pieces, wash'd away his Cabose stove his Boat all to pieces, and broke in several of his Top Timbers, which obliged him to bear away to Bermu- das. He informs us, that Capt. Riddel, from this Port took up at Sea, one Brown from Egg Harbour, belonging to Connecticut, who was reduced to the utmost Extremity, and carried him into Bermuda ; and that a Vessel from Anguilla, was arrived at Ber- muda, and brought Advice, that upwards of 20 Sail of Vessels were arrived in the West-Indies, that were blown off these Coasts ; amongst which was the Ship Hawk, Capt.
