[April 28, 1776, cont.] by the Pedantick behaviour of the
Pri=
-est, the Irreverent behaviour of the
People,
& the foolish parrade of
Ceremonies-
I am determined that unless I can
find better entertainment the next
Sunday to attend Worship with the
Dutch Priest, whom I heard last Sunday,
chusing rather to worship where I
understand nothing than
that is Spoken than to hear Such folly
as was delivered in the fore noon, and
the Devout behaviour of the Dutch is more
agreeable to me than all the Pomp Equi=
-page, & [illegible]
& Majestick
Expressions
of the English Church accompanied
with Such behaviour as was theirs.
29 [April 1776] As the
Continental Congress had
ordered 6 More Regiments for
Canada
the Genl gave out orders for
Genl
Sullivan
with that Number Should embarque
for
Albany -- these Orders were given out
on the
27th [April 1776] and Many
of the Men Sailed
for
Albany this Day-- Tis
reported
that this these unexpected Maneouvere
Orders is in
Consequence of an Express which
was lately Sent to the Congress containing
disagreeable News & which they chuse not to
divulge-- They will I hope be tolerably Strong
at
Canady 10 Regts
having gone from hence
