town, to hold divine fervice in. But a di- 

 vifion arifing amongft them after the de- 

 parture of JVhiteJield, and befides on other 

 accounts, the building was fold to the town 

 in the beginning of the year 1750, and def- 

 tined for a fchool. The new-lights then 

 built a church which I call the new Prejby- 

 terian one. On its eaftern pediment is the 

 following infcription, in golden letters :

6. The old German reformed church is 

 built in the well north-weft part of the 

 town, and looks like the church in the 

 Ladugcord [field near Stockholm. It is not vet 

 finished, though for feveral years together, 

 the congregation has kept up divine fervice 

 in it. Thefe Germans attended the German 

 fervice at the Swedi/h church, whilft the 

 Swedijh minifter Mr. Dylander lived. — But 

 as the Lutherans got. a clergyman for them- 

 felves on the death of the laft, thofe of the 

 reformed church made likewife preparations 

 to get one from Dordrecht -, and the firft 

 who was fent to them, was the Rev. Mr* 

 Slaughter, whom I found on my arrival. 

 But in the year 1750, another clergyman of 

 the reformed church arrived from Holland, 

 and by his artful behaviour, fo infinuated 

 himfelf into the favour of the Rev. Mr.
