men . Yoting and feeble congregations would require support aiul encouragement . The old and infirm ministers , whose congregations were small , must be assisted in the decline of life . He ^ eoneluded by stating that the fire ministers residing in Belfast , holding the principles of the Remonstrants , had coutribnted each 25 / . This he mentioned
merely to shew that they were in earnest in the matter . A general exertion must be made in all parts of Ireland . Already the subscriptions amounted to about 3000 / . He did not doubt if a simultaneous movement were made , that 6000 / . or 8000 / . would be raised .

He spoke in strong terms of the zeal and piety of the Unitarian Dissenters of England . He said they were intimately acquainted with the proceedings of the Remonstrants . He stated several
