New Version
of Psalms

Mr. Church Warden Lem then observed that several
Inhabitants of this Parish were desirous to have the new Version
of the Psalms made use of in the Church Service instead of the Old
Version And Mr. Newton moved that the new Version of Psalms
be introduced if the Rector of this Parish should give Consent
thereto. It was Objected by Mr. Haydon< no role > that there were so few
Persons present that the Intentions of the Inhabitants could
not be sufficiently known: but the said Motion being Seconded
the Question was put and carried in the Affirmative.

Carpet for
Communion Table

Mr. Church Warden Lem took notice that a Carpet
had been laid down at the Communion Table and that the
Bills delivered in on that Account amounted to upwards of
Four Pounds, which he desired leave to pay, and the same was
Agreed to.
