In hope therefore of your Lordship’s encouraging us to repair and Enlarge our church and also procure a decent sett of Communion plate which we are entirely destitute of, we humbly apply to yr. Lordship for assistance and remain – My Lord – Your Lordship’s most dutifull and Obedt. Servants,
Will. HAMILTON, Minr.
