Excerpt from Benefits of the Gospel: A Sermon Preached in St. Paul's Church on the Nativity of Our Saviour Whereas upon information from the Rev Matthias Plant, minister of the Church of England, Newbury, that several persons of that and the ad joining towns have professed themselves members of the said church and accordingly have entered their names in their register-book, and that the Rt Rev the Bishop of London hath settled a minister among them and that there is a very considerable congregation; I do therefore order, that the persons, who have already declared, or shall hereafter declare for the said established church, be peaceably allowed in their proceedings, and must not be taxed or imposed upon for the support and maintenance of any other public worship in the said town or towns, wherein they shall inhabit: of which all persons concerned are to take notice accordingly.
