 which resulted in the derangement of the Rev. Mr. 

 Warmel and of the Rev. Mr. Kendal, who came into 

 the colony a few years before him. The Rev. Mr. 

 Marston, in his letter to the Rev. Dr. Stanhope, says 

 of him: "The best service your society can do this 

 young man, Mr. Thomas, is to maintain him a few 

 years at one of our universities, where he may better 

 learn the principles and government of the Church of 

 England, and some other useful learning which I am
