1747 November 10 (Tuesday). This Day met here the Committee of Ministers appointed by the late Association to look over the Answers which had been given to the Question: What had best to be done to prevent the Threatening Defection in Religion and gather out what may be reduc’d to practice. They were Mr. Loring, Mr. Cushing and Mr. Stone. They din’d here. Mr. Loring pray’d before we began the work. But we could go no further than to mark and minute the principal Heads without drawing up any Report. Mr. Loring stay’d all night. At Evening came one Mr. Rosebrook[1] from Grafton with a Letter from Mr. Prentice desiring Copys of all the Papers of his Case. But I wrote to him to come here.
