 built in the weft north-weft part of the 

 town, and looks like the church in the 

 Ladugoor d field v\t2.x Stockholm. It is not yet 

 finifhed, though for feveral years together, 

 the congregation has kept up divine fervice 

 in it. Thefe Germans attended the German 

 fervice at the Swedijh church, whilft the 

 SwediJJj minifter Mr. Dylander lived. — But

 felves on the death of the laft, thofe of the 

 reformed church madelikewife preparations 

 to get one from Dordrecht ; and the firft 

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

 Slaughter y 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 infmuated 

 himfelf into the favour of the Rev. Mr.
