The same Vestrymen say that it is true they had resolved
to lay the Chappel mentioned in the Petition af^d out into Pews
and thereupon gave Notice to the Parishioners as is alledged
in the said Petition to meet at an appointed Day to treat on
that Affair, which Resolution the said Vestrymen came into as

Parishioners by Ballott or Tickets as the Petition sets forth,
