Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Discourse, Commemorative of the Organization of the First Presbyterian Church, in Newburyport: Delivered at the First Centennial Celebration, Jan; 7, 1846 The dates, uniformly given in the following narrative, prior to 1752, are, as respect the month and day of the month, in the Old Style. This was thought to be, on the whole, the preferable method, as the dates could, in this way, be seen at once to correspond to those of the documents from which they are taken. It will be very easy, however, for the reader to reduce them to the present mode of reckoning, by adding, in each instance, eleven days to the date given. Thus the date of the organization of the Church is given, in the Church Records, and in the present narrative, as the 3d of January. According to the present reckoning, the true anniversary of that event is on the fourteenth. The same reduction must be applied to the events which follow. In preparing this discourse the authorities relied upon have been, 1st, the Records and files of the Church. 2d, a manuscript statement, supposed to have been presented to the Legislature of the State, containing copies of votes of the First Church in Newbury, and correspondence between the aggrieved of that Church and the pastor, with the result of the exparte council, called by the aggrieved. 3d, a copy of the result of the exparte council, subsequently called by the Church and pastor. 4th, the ecclesiastical files of the State, containing petitions and remonstrances from the different parties, and the originals of a somewhat extended correspondence between the aggrieved of the third Church in Newbury and their pastor. 5th, the Records of the First and Third Churches. 6th, the manuscript journal of the Rev. Jonathan Parsons. 7th, a manuscript collection of letters written by Mr. Parsons, and now in the possession of some cf his descendants. 8th, Prince´s Christian History, Tucker´s "Brief Account," and a variety of miscellaneous pamphlets and volumes. The author would tender his sincere thanks to the Clerks of the First Church in Newbury and the First Church in Newburyport, for their politeness in allowing him the use of their Records. Also, to Joshua Coffin, Esq, and others, for valuable documents furnished by them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
