Proceeding; now to the tliird folio, we find records which
were plainly be,-;un when the volume was first used, but
were made at this end of the book to separate them from
the records of proceedings. It will be borne in mind that
they are contemporaneous with those records, from point to
point.

N.B, There are numerous interpolations, in the way of
personal and historical explanations, in a hand notably dif-
ferent from that of the regular entries. As their matter is
very important, and apparently trustworthy, and seems to
the copyist to be largely the work of one of the pastors,
Rev. John Danforth, it is given. But it is put in parenthe-
sis to distinguish it from the oflficial text.
