he respective state legislatures; which has never been denied by any of them, but, with a truly liberal and catholic spirit, granted so far as applied for.

To ascertain the Demand of New-York call the present stock 1000; and say, As 8488, Amount of stock entire, is to 1000, so is 2798—Demand of New York on stock entire, to 3293;

; that is so many thousandth parts of stock reduced.

On the same principles the Demand of New Jersey is 1927 of such parts.

And the Demand of Pennsylvania is 4773.

3. That such Missionaries as may be employed by this Church, be authorised to make collections of money, from such congregations on the frontiers as may contribute; and render an accurate account to the Bishop of this church in the state of Pennsylvania and the standing committee to be appointed by this Convention, of the sums thus collected.
