The Petition of the Argyle Collony &cSeeing it has been the laud'l.bl"3practice of the Church

of Scotlund upon good & weighty Reasons to loose a Hillisterfrom one Charge, & fix him in another, we hope the ReverendPresbyter,f Shall concur with the Call1Nhich is herewithproduced before them, to the Reverend Hr. Robert FullertonHinister of the Gospel in Glasrie, inviting and Entreatinghim to t'llie upon him the Office of a Pastor amongus, TheParish in vhfch he serves is both so ext~nsive & populousthat he cannot by Course of IJatur~ be long in a Conditionto Serve in it as he has done hitherto. It being butreasonable to SUI-posethat the Vast fatigue of it, '..,rillrender him tP.nder & infirm in his Consti~~tion, & of Coursehe wil Daily be the more Discouraged, the more unequal. hewill. find himself for Such a Charge _

It vas indeed expected at his Settlement that anotherErection might obtain in the Parish of Glasrie, which wouldrender his work eLlSY;but as th'lt Hatter has all this timebeen put off, tilere is reason to expect that tis no moreforward th311 it was at the time of his Settlement; It islikp.wise more than probable, tha.t tho' he has all alongwanted a Nansa, he cannot now obtain it, nor a.r~rthing inLiew of it, unless he enter on a LawSuit ""ith his Parish,a thing neither desirable in it Self, nor in tile Consequences.As we and other Gentlemen beside tile Subscribers to thisCall (who will appear either in person or by Proxie agaL'1stnext Presbyter.y) are now fully Determined to Settle thisYear in somepart of the Continent of America, and C~r~inga Considerablt:!

Tis well known how much more parts of America need tohave the "Jospel Prea.ched & propag:cited among them, few of theJJatives have yet been converted to our Holy Reliffion. Thothe t1ernbers of the Collony cannot promise much for themselves,they nevertheless hope thro' Gods Grace to endeavour bett~rthings than they mi.ght,have done in time past.

At the last General Meeti.'1g of the Argyle Collony theywere all So unanimous for having Hr. Fullerton to be theirHi.nister, most of them from th~ir own Experience of him,beLng perswaded that he is vell qual.Lf'Led for being Hinisterto a Young Col.Lony, that is to Sett up in our way, in aBa.rbar-ous& dis t>tut part of the world, that if the Presbj'~ryShollld refuse to concurr with their Call to him, it is muchto be f'ear-ed we cannot now make anothn r Chof.ce, & So Sett outvii thout any to preach amongus. The Consequencas of which \vlllbe (it is to be feared) that we will Soon grO\. Cool in Hattersof Heligion, at last be easy whether the Gospel be preached'Unon..;us or not, I?c of Course become v(!'ry backward in givingany Encoura~ement for huving Gospel Ordinances amongus.

Whereas i.f the Reverend Presbytery Shall loose Mr. Fullerton'sre.l at i on to the Parish of Glasrie, in order to Serve as ourPastor, we shall give him all due Encouragement and the sameRight to it, as the Ministers of the Church of Scotland haveto their Stipends for which we will give in our Obligationsor Security ill his favours to the Presbyt~ry as well as tohimself for the Same; And likewise bind us all in our Collorzyto give him all the Rega.rd due to a Pastor.
