The Declaration of a number of associated Pastors in Boston
and Charles-Town, with regard to the Rev. Mr. James
Davenport [from South-hold, Long Island], and his conduct. .
. [3/4 column voicing complaints.]
We judge also that the Rev. Mr. Davenport has not acted
prudently, but to the disservice of religion, but going with
his friends singing thro' the streets and high-ways, to and
from the houses of worship on Lord's-Days, and other days;
and by encouraging private brethren to pray and exhort in
larger or smaller assemblies of people gather'd together for
that purpose: A practice which we fear may be found big
with errors, irregularities and mischiefs. . .
