Note 237 — Chapter X
Reading edition
Mather remarks, “There is no Congregational man, but he reports to the Church something of what the person desiring communion with them has related to him, which the Presbyterian does not, only declares his own satisfaction, and giveth the brethren a liberty to object against the conversation of the admittendi.”—Magnalia, ii. 61. Such reports may be found in the Choice Experience of Mrs. Rebecca Combe, and Mrs. Gertrude Clarkson, printed in An Abstract of the Gracious Dealings of God, &c., by Samuel James.
