of that meeting It wu Indeed ;moot gratifying
to he ranged in an object .mentisly Protestant; not on:,
politically so, but hued on the tree and metering word of
Gad, which was its foundation. He and hardy say they
lived is times of great interim% sad greet difiltalty, times in
wt kb their glorious Protestant cause wu attacked by v rious
enemies. Thou enemies wen not confined to the R pnieh
