2-9 Dec 1723:21 (123)
We have advice from the South Part of Brantrey, that on
Sunday the first instant, Mr. Niles the minister of that
place, perform'd the duties of the day at his dwelling
house, among those of his congregation who are opposers of
regular singing.  The regular singers met together at the
Meeting House, and sent for Mr. Niles, who refus'd to come
unless they would first promise not to sing regularly;
whereupon they concluded to edify themselves by the
assistance of one of the deacons, who at their desire pray'd
with them, read a sermon, &c.
