I did not know of your living it Deptford till a few daysa ^ o , nor f ^ ow to direct tp you till I received ^ formation last night in a

    letter from your brother of Westminster . The design of this is to inquire -what your congregation at Deptford intend to do with rejference to a minister : I have been informed that Dr . Taylor is scarce likely to continue amongst you in that character , and tfiat you are at a loss

    about fixing a suitable minister amongst you . If my information be wrong , and the views of the congregation are pointed to any particular minister , I then ask pardon for the trouble , andctesiry what I shall here add ; mw gdfefc nothing . But

    in case my information as above is just , I would then let ypu know thei ^ e is a minister of hi y acquaintance in the country , a TOty a ° l c scholar , and an acceptable preacner , a moderate Cklvinhty I be-Herein much the same way of thinking nith your late pastor Mr . Beaumont ,

    and who I believe would - be approved by some of your neighbouring' gentlemen at Blackheath . I propose this as thinking I may hereby do service to your congregation , as well as promote the usefulness of a very deserving minister ; and I have no

    particular view of my own to service [ serve J ; unless if the providence of God should fix my family in your parts , I can ' t but say I should be glad to have them attend an useful ministry ; and perhaps this may be the case , for we have our eye upon two or three houses not fa ^ r from you .

    I should be obliged to you for a lin * directed to Dr . Hughes , next the Brook at Edmonton ; for I know not how to get to see you ; seldom or ever going to .
