9-16 Sep 1723:21,22 (111)
Last week a Council of Churches was held at the south part
of Brantrey, to regulate the disorders occasion'd by regular
singing in that place, Mr. Niles the minister having
suspended seven or eight of the church for persisting in
their singing by rule, contrary (as he apprehended) to the
result of a former council; but by this council the
suspended brethren are restor'd to communion, their
suspension declar'd unjust, and the congregation order'd to
sing by rote and by rule alternately, for the satisfaction
of both parties.
