THE PREFACE
THE Publication of a Pamphlet called An Answer to the Hampshire Narrative, having been the Means to keep up the Clamour that has been raised against us who disapproved of Mr. Breck's Settlement at Springfield, we have for some Months been silent, promising our selves this Advantage thereby, That those whose Spirits have been heated, being by this Time cooled, and Prejudices on all sides much abated, every body will be more ready to consider the Matter with coolness and sedateness, and be under Advantage to look on the Case as it really is, and allow arguments their proper Force. The Author of the Pamphlet which we endeavour to answer, having let us know by several Passages in the Book, viz. in Page 53, 54, 55, 56, &c. That he is a Minister, was one of the Council, and one that came from Boston, we have thought best, by directing a Letter to him, to address ourselves to all the Gentlemen who were concerned in the Council with him.
