with the Pfe^ift, The Lord hath done great
things for us, wheief we are glad.

You cannot but have observed that the war
b^ occHioced great irregularity and relaxation
wTh rrfye&<o-the Sabbath, and attendance on
public ordinances. In fomt places, congregati
ons are broken up; in some places, for a c?rf
ceisble time, attendance war difficult, da gerou?,
er ira,c £ible. The pubic service also, which
made fme things really necessary, was ofee» made
a preurce for irregularity when no receffity ex
isted Iris therefore your duty now,rth.it fee^ca
Srd herm ny have returned, to revise and reftdre
there^ed: ue to the Sabbath aud he worship of
G d sfanduary. The regular adminiftraticn of
Divine ordinances is a bhff.n? h t cannot be too
highly valued or purchased at too great a price
We hepeth^ekfe, that you will, in general, cx°
ert yourfebes. end do every thi^g in v cur power
that will feive so noble a pu^ofe. Be chearful
and liberal in assisting to educate pims ycutn fir
the ministry. Let vacant ar gregatonr .be active
and diligent to [apply diemfe,cs with fixed p^
tors; and let those which have fixed pastors
'ftrengthen their hands in their Mailer's work, not
toy by obedience to the Lord, but by making
such provificn fir their comfortable Lbfiftence
2$ T I their duty may be practicable. We make
ihh demand clearly ^d explicitly, berfaufe jtii
founded upon the plaincft re for—-upon thevord
cf Ged—upon general or common utility, and
your own inte^fr, and make no doubt that
wl erever there it true religion, it will be heard
ad complied with.
We lock upon it as a very happy cifcumß?rce
in the pclit cl revolution that has happened in
An erica, reither in its rife nor progress was it in
termixed or dirtied by religious controversy.
No denomination of Chriffians among us have
any rea on to fear oppression or restraint, or any
p wer to epprefs others. We therefore lecom
mend charity, forbearance, and mutual service.
^ Lie guat and oty Rufe be who ihall tore

I, the Lar! 0/ Carltfe, and the Right Hon,. Lord
Berth, in favour of the Loyali/is, to the addrtfer

Address ; to which tbtir Lordjbips were plefea to
make the following Anfatrs.
ADDRESS to the Earl of Carlisle.
“ My Lord, R 6. 24, 178.3.
" 1'" £ Board of Agents for the American
j Loyalilts, imprefied with the warmed fepfe
of giatitude for the noble fatnfice your Lordship
war pleated to make on their account, arid for the
Spirited exertions and liberal lentimens of your Lord
ffity ontbeh behalf in the Houle of Lords, and on
ah other occasions, have directed us #0 wait upon
your Lordship, as a Committee, to express so; the
Board, and those they repielem, the high obligati
ons they feel themselves under to your Lordfyp in
particular, and the House of Lores in general.
“ We feel ourselves happy in the honour dele
gated to us, though we find ourselves unequal to ex
prek our sentiments on the occasion, and no words
adequate to Convey the grateful lente the American
Loyalists mull for ever retain of their obligations to
your Lordship."
The Earl of Carlisle's Answer.
“ THE approbation with which the Loyalists are
pleased to dißmgmlh my public conduct, overpays
every service that it has been within my ability to
offer them.
“ It has been my fortune to be, as well on the
other fide of the Atlantic as on this, a near oJerver
of their merits, and an impartial witness of the fpi- 1
tiled efforts they have made, at the risk of fortune
and of life, in the cause of Great Britain and their
Sovereign. Under these circumstances, it would have
been to the last degree mean to have been fifent or
inactive in their cause, and bale to have deferred
their interests ; I cannot, therefore, confider myfelf
entitled to any extraordinary degree of praise, for
merely uniting in the concern which every man muff
fee} at observing that, by this treaty of peace, those
who have exerted themklves with so much zeal and
courage, are far from being confideied with th ft hu- -
inane attention and flritl justice, which their services
and fidelity merit from this country."
ADDRESS to the Right Hon. Lord North.
My Lord, FA. 22, 175.3.
“ THE Board of Agents for the American Lcy
alifts, impressed with the bigheft veneration for your
Lordffiip's condu& and character, and the warmed
sense of gratitude for your Lordship's spirited exer
tions and liberal fenthnents in their behalf in the
House of Commons, and on all other occasions, have
directed us to wait on your Lordship, as a Commit
tee, to express for the Board, and those the) repre
sent, the high obligations they feel themselves under
to your Lordfliip in particular, and to the Members
of the House of Commons in general.
“ We feel ourselves happy in the honour dele
gated to us, though we find ourselves unequal to ex
preis our sentiments on the occasion, and no words
adequate to convey the grateful sense the American
Loyalilts must for ever retain of their obligations to
your Lordship."
Lord Norths Answer to the Board cf Agents.
“ THIS dißinguizhing mark of approbation of
niy public condo, for the Board of American Loy
alills, was what I had no reason to expert I was
<onlcious it Was my duty to exert my abilities, such
as they are, in behalf of those who had facrificed
their lives, and loft their properties by a long and
Beady perseverance in the cause of Great Britain,
and they may be a&red, that I shall continue my
good officeNa support cf &i r juft claims for the lo'-
Rs tmy have fudaiaed by such meritorious conduct."
