Who that is at all familiar with our local history and feels any in- terest in it, can look back upon the names of these respected and ve- nerated men, without a feeling of reverence for that ancient Corpora- tion, whose concerns they have managed with so much prudence, whose wealth they have dispensed with so much liberality, and whose rights and privileges they have at all times so conscientiously and man- fully defended ? Who that now belongs to this Parish, or who that was ever connected with it, can help feeling some honest pride in being a member of a body which associates him with those who in past ge- nerations adorned the age in which they lived, and with those who in the present day are held in honour and respect ?
But though there were at all times among the Wardens and Vestry- men of Trinity Church, many who were eminent in the learned pro- fessions, distinguished as scholars, and exalted in rank and station ; yet the selection was by no means confined to them, but extended to persons in all the various classes and callings in life. There was, however, on every occasion, an uniform reference to the fitness, intelli- gence, and probity of those who were chosen for the discharge of these high and responsible duties ; and I doubt whether there ever was a Corporation in this or any other country, who during the long course of one hundred and fifty years administered their affairs with stricter integrity, or who, in their personal characters, were more free from reproach.
366
HISTORY OF
M.
GRANTS, GIFTS, AND LOANS OF TRINITY CHURCH.
In the early part of the history of this Parish, it stood in need of assistance itself, and was, therefore, altogether unable to attend to the wants of others. The first instance of its bounty towards a neigh- bouring church, recorded in the minutes, was in the gift of the com- munion cloth, pulpit cloth, and cloth for the desk, to Mr. Peter Jay, for the church at Rye, in the year 1745. Since that time, in every alteration and improvement of Trinity Church and its Chapels, its gifts to needy congregations of articles of all kinds have been innu- merable ; baptismal fonts, communion plate, chandeliers, lustres, pulpits, desks, stoves, bells, iron gates, iron railing and other fences, flagging stones, carpets for chancel and aisles, and almost every thing which can enter into the construction and serve for the decoration of the Sanctuary. These, however, though a seasonable relief to parishes which were limited in their resources, are scarcely worthy of being noticed in connection with its lavish bounties and munificent grants to most of the churches throughout the State. There is hardly a form in which their liberality could promote the interests of religion, that it has not assumed. When unable to contribute largely, they did it judiciously, and according to their ability.
Thus we find at a time * when infidelity was very prevalent here, that 200 copies of a work entitled the Antidote to Deism were purchased by the Vestry, and committed to the Rector and Assistant Ministers for distribution, and shortly after 500 copies of Watson's Apology.
As there was no Bible and Common Prayer Book Society in that day, the Vestry, in consideration of the great feebleness and urgent wants of the Church, in some slight degree anticipated the establish- ment of such an institution.
In 1797, they gave to the committee of the Convention for propa- gating the Gospel 150 copies of the Book of Common Prayer, and 100 copies to Christ Church, Duanesburgh. In the following year 50

copies to Christ Church, Ballston. 500 copies were afterwards given to the Rector for distribution, together with 200 copies of Hobart's Companion for the Altar. And in 1807, 200 copies of Fowler's Ex- position of the Book of Common Prayer. On another occasion an appropriation was made of £100, which the Rector was to expend in Prayer Books.
The Vestry also committed to the Rector, for the promotion of reli- gion upon the frontiers of this State, £150, $375
In 1799, They gave to the Committee for the Propagation of the Gospel, $412

t It being represented to the Board, that Alderman Roosevelt intended to pro- pose to the corporation of the City of New-York to grant and convey to them two water lots belonging to him, adjoining the water lots of this corporation, upon con- dition that the ferry across Hudson River between this City and Powles Hook should be established and fixed from his said lots, but inasmuch as the said two lots will not be sufficient to accommodate the said ferry without the addition of so much of the water lots belonging to this corporation adjoining the said two lots and of equal dimensions therewith, and this Board considering the conveniences and advantage arising to the public from the said ferry, Thereupon Resolved, That they will also grant and convey to the said City corporation two of their lots ad- joining the said two water lots of Alderman Roosevelt, and of equal dimensions, for the use of the said ferry, but for no other use or purpose whatsoever, upon condition that the said ferry is to be established and fixed there forever; but if the
