Appeals for more Protestant emigration from Scotland to New South Wales and for a supply of evangelical Protestant clergy in order to counterbalance what he regarded as the threat to evangelical purity resulting from large-scale Irish Catholic immigration. Also relates his establishment of an evangelical Presbyterian Church in New South Wales independent of state control in an attempt also to establish evangelical purity. Accuses the Free Church of Scotland of attempting to undermine his evangelical work in New South Wales by sending their own missionaries to that colony.
