Extract of a letter from the Rev. Mr. Tennant, to the Rev.
Mr. Dickenson of the Jerseys; 
. . . [letter discusses several church and religious
issues.]  The sending out of unlearned men to teach others,
upon the supposition of their piety, in ordinary cases,
seems to bring the ministry into contempt; . . .  The
practice of singing in the street, is a piece of weakness,
and enthusiastical ostentation. . .
