NECO.723.022
12-19 Aug 1723:21 (107)
South part of Brantrey, Aug. 15. By this time every one may
see the hand of the Devil in the new way of singing, as they
call it. It is impossible to tell what disturbance it has
made in our congregation for more than a year past, and in
particular, the disorder & confusion it caus'd the last
Lord's Day, cannot be easily related. No sooner was the
Psalm set than the bawling party made such a hideous noise,
that the minister forbid the Deacon reading any farther,
upon which they carried on their noise without reading.
Whereupon the minister solemnly charged them to forbear; but
notwithstanding they persisted in their disturbance (with
unaccountable yells) to the end of the psalm.
