Harlingen, Heb. 1: 3. 8: " Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, etc.' "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O, God Is forever and ever, etc." To both were assigned in the Hebrew, Psalm 24; and in the Greek, Heb. 1.

THE CLASSIS OF AMSTERDAM TO THE CONSISTORIES OF THE PROVINCE OF NEW YORK, JANUARY 13, 1761. VOL. 31, PAGE 154. No. 108. REFERRED TO VOL. 24:76.
To the Rev. Consistories in the Province of New York.
Rev. Sirs and Much-beloved Brethren :-
Your communication, signed by Domines J. Ritzema and L. De Ronde, in the name of the Conferentie Assembled, accompanied by the signature of other ministers in New York, and dated May 8th, 1760, we received in safety. The business done is recorded therein with minuteness and accuracy, and agrees with the account given by the other brethren.
It was pleasing to us that the Christian and earnest advice of our preceding letter - had been adopted, namely, the making of an effort to put an end to the shameful divisions and deplorable dissensions, so inconsistent with the Gospel of peace of the gentle Savior ; and an attempt to reunite yourselves in a common Coetus, (or Assem- bly.) We were pleased that our letter had had so much influence on you, Rev. Gentlemen, that you were disposed to bridge the chasm, and debate the matter. But we learned with grief that the desired union, with the peace incident thereto, was not accomplished ; that negotiations were broken off, or at least delayed ; for you could not agree upon the articles and conditions which were then proposed.
The brethren who call themselves the Conferentie required that all decisions of important matters, about which there might arise differences of opinion, should be made by the Classis, and that the business in such cases should be so referred by both parties. The present Coetus replies that all matters, must, as usual, be deter- mined by a plurality of votes, according to Article 31 of the Church Order :- (Of the Synod of Dort.) The Coetus also recognizes the legality of examining and licensing students in America ; that ordinations once performed cannot be repeated, any more than that one who has been once lawfully baptized needs to be baptized again ; for re-ordinations would endanger the peace of the congregations.
But the Conferentie affirms that such powers do not belong to the Coetus, inas- much as the Classis has never recognized the Coetus in any other capacity than as a
3802

subordinate body, and then only under the express condition that care must be taken not to allow a word against the doctrine, nor to hold any preparatory or final examinations, according to a letter of the Classis in Nov. 1739, because this power was reserved to the Classis by the Synod of Dort.
Having laid the contents of both letters before the Rev. Classis, and these having been duly considered by that Rev. Assembly, we are directed to urge upon you earnestly again the duty of the union of the parties, and to give you also the decisions of the Classis on the points in dispute.
1. On the first point : The opinion of the Classis is that a decision by a majority of votes is essential. The very nature of any Assembly, and therefore also of an Ecclesiastical Assembly, requires such a rule. Protesting members, however, have the right to appeal to Classis, which is a common right In all subordinate Assemblies.
2. In reference to the second point, we must say that we cannot approve the preferments, (of students into candidates, or of candidates Into ministers, ) as having been performed according to the rules of the Netherlands Churches ; but we will not be so strict In this matter as to revoke these preferments, but we accept of them as facts accomplished. It Is Indeed true that the Classis has not given authority to the Coetus to conduct examinations, for this privilege belongs only to a regular Classis ; but the Classls will, hereafter, in extraordinary circumstances, act in a liberal manner, pro re nata, upon notification of the necessities of the case. But the Coetus must, then, be able to give a suitable certificate of the extent of the Individual's knowledge of Sacred Theology. The Classis will not, however, concede such privileges unless the Coetus become a united body again, In the bonds of love.
Rev. Sirs and Much-beloved Brethren, such is our advice and decision. By the help of God, they are adapted to promote the welfare of the newly established con- gregations, and the edlfication of the others, In the falth of Christ. We trust that none of you will be elated at the confusion or the seeming Independence, of any of the brethren, caused by our decision, and permit these facts, Instead of healing the wound, to make It more difficult to be healed ; but may you thereby lay a foundation for the desired union. If we realize the importance of maintaining the honor of God, (as his servants.) of extending his kingdom, of edlfying our Individual congre- gations, then labor to this end. How necessary Is It that we beseech God to give us the spirit of love and moderatlon, in order to guard us against the ambitious spirit of Dlotrephes ; and to enable us to hate and destroy all wrong tendencles and sinful passion, although varnished with seemingly good pretexts.
We pray you, therefore, to act as brethren. Bind together the loosened ties. Love truth and peace as the sons of God. Be examples to each other, each regarding the other as better than himself. Bear each others burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ. How much would such conduct on your part, cause us to thank God, the Lord of peace ! What refreshment and joy would it be to us; yea, what a reward for all our brotherly advice ! We close with the words of Paul, Rom. 15 : 5, 6. "Committing you and your congregations to the protection of God and the word of his grace." With true effection, we remain,

THE CLASSIS OF AMSTERDAM TO THE CONSISTORY OF NEW YORK. JAN. 13, 1761. VOL. 31, PAGE 157. No. 109. To the Rev. Consistory in the City of New York.
Rev. Sirs and Much-beloved Brethren :-
Accompanying this letter we send you the proceedings of the Synod of North Holland for 1760, held in this city (Amsterdam). We hope you duly received the

OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Minutes of the preceding year. The Classis thought it best to send these documents to you, since your place is the chief town in the Province. From you they can be sent with greater facility to the other brethren. We request you to be careful of all letters, and to forward them to their destination as you have hitherto done. We fraternally exhort every member to be zealous in promoting love and unity. We trust that the God of peace may bless you, by pouring out his Holy Spirit upon his Church for the upbuilding of Zion.
Reiterating our genuine affection for you, we subscribe our names,
Rev. Sirs and Much-beloved Brethren,
In the name of the Classis of Amsterdam,
R. Perizonius, V.D.M., Depp. Cl. h. t. Praeses. E. P. G. Van Esse, Depp. Cl. h. t. Scriba.

ARCHBISHOP SECKER TO THE REVEREND DR. [SAMUEL] JOHNSON. Lambeth, Jan. 20, 1761.
Good Dr. Johnson
The University of Oxford have unanimously given Mr. [Henry] Barclay, at my request, the Degree of a Doctor of Divinity by a Diploma, which is in my hands, but shall be sent to the Doctor in such a manner, as he shall direct. Be pleased in the meantime to congratulate him from me on the justice done in this respect to bis merit.
My further inquiries for Tutors in your College, though diligent, continue to be unsuccessful. Nor do we find persons to supply our vacant missions, which are now seven or eight. Pray is Mr. Gibbs of Simsbury in a condition to do any duty properly, and what? and is there any hope, that Mr. Lyons of Brookhaven, if removed with an admonition, would mend? I hope you will send us over good young men for Missionaries, when you can. We must supply the old parishes, before we attempt erecting new ones.
The King hath had no opportunity, as yet, of shewing what his dispositions are towards the American Churches, excepting that in general all his dispositions are good. But whom he will consult particularly on this head, hath not hitherto appeared. I presume the Episcopal Clergy will transmit addresses to him, as their predecessors, when they were much fewer, did to the late King. This may lead him to enquire concerning them and express himself in relation to them. If any such addresses come to me, I will take the best care of them, that I can.
You shall hear further, as occasion may require, from your loving Brother

CHURCH OF NEW YORK. Manor of Fordham.
New York, February 2, 1761.
Consistory held after calling on God's name.
Mr. Abraham van Wyck presented a list of the remaining farms and places on the Manor as yet unsold. This matter, the consistory took into serious considera- tion. They directed that they should be sold at public vendue at such time and place as the committee to be appointed should judge best. The committee consists of Messrs. L. Lispenard, T. Marschalk, P. Clopper, A. Lott, Jr. and G. Rapelye. John de Peyster was requested to assist them in leasing such plots of Mr. Harpending as now are, or soon will be in possession of the church.
Mr. J. Van Antwerps request for an increase of salary was so far allowed, that so long as he conducts the service to the satisfaction of the congregation, £5, shall be added to his salary.
Catherine Althen was taken on the list of the Poor.
Signed in name etc.

REV. SAMUEL SEABURY TO THE SOCIETY FOR PROPAGATING THE GOSPEL. CHURCH OF FLUSHING.
Jamaica, March 26, 1761.
Reverend Sir :
In my fast I informed you that the people at Flushing were finishing thelr Church. The severe cold weather the past Winter obliged them to suspend the work some months, but they have now resumed it & are likely to complete it in a short time, together with a handsome Steeple which was begun last Autumn. The prin- cipal expense of this work Is defrayed by Mr. John Aspinwall & Mr. Thos. Grennall two Gentlemen who have lately retired thither from New York.
