From the beginning, the First Church in Cambridge has had a regular succession of Deacons; and for the first two thirds of a century, it had also Ruling Elders.

s, and one of the best friends I had left. The ancient record says, Mr. Nathaniel Gookin, our pastor, departed this life 7 day of August 1692, being the Sabbath day at night, about nine or ten o'clock at night. Elder Clark departed this life 14 January 99 or 1700, being the Sabbath day. Our pastor Mr. Nathaniel Gookin's wife Hannah died 14 day of May 1702, and was buried 16 day of May at the town's charge. The orthography of this record is extraordinarily vicious, and is here corrected. Dutions cannot be ascertained. The dates of death are obtained from other sources. Ruling Elders. Elected.Died.Age.

said, only to those which cover the remains of Chauncy, who died in 1672, and Oakes, who died in 1681, would more probably be placed over the grave of Mitchell, who died in 1668, than over that of Dunster, who died nine years earlier, in 1659. But if the structure and adornments of the grave point to Mitchell rather than to Dunster, much more its contents. For what conceivable reason should the coffin of Dunster have been stuffed with tansy, or his body wrapped in cerecloth? He died in February, when the frost might reasonably be expected to arrest decomposition and prevent any noxious or offensive effluvia from his body. Morton, indeed, says, his body was embalmed and removed unto Cambridge; but it may reasonably be doubted whether the process was very thorough or complete at that season of the year. On the contrary, Mitchell died in midsummer, and under circumstances requiring the utmost precaution against discomfort and danger. Mather says, Mr. Mitchell had, from a principle

fter a languishing distemper which he bore with great patience and resignation, he died with peace and an extraordinary serenity of mind, Feb. 15, 1716-17, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. An obituary appeared in the Boston News Letter, dated Feb. 25, in which it is said that his good name while he lived was better than precious ointment, and his memory, now being that of the just, will be always blessed. They that had the happiness to know Mr. Brattle, knew a very religious, good man, an ains were deposited under the same slab which marks the resting-place of Dr. James Oliver, who deceased April 8, 1703. On the day of the funeral, Wednesday, Feb. 20, 1716-7, there was an extraordinary snow-storm. The Boston News Letter, dated Feb. 25, says: Besides several snows, we had a great one on Monday the 18th current, and on Wednesday the 20th, it began to snow about noon and continued snowing till Friday the 22d, so that the snow lies in some parts of the streets about six foot high

This gave dissatisfaction to Deputy-governor Danforth and others: whereupon,— At a church meeting at Mr. Bordman's house, May 4, 1697,—（1) Then propounded to Mr. Danforth and the whole body of the brethren who had remonstrated as to the votes of the church passed March 11, ‘96-7, at the house of deacon Hastings, whether, if I would condescend so far as to let something be communicated to the church by myself, or the Elder, wherein I received satisfaction from those who ask communion with us, as to their spiritual fitness for it, and this to be done at some time before or when they are to be admitted as I shall judge best, and this to remain so long as the peace of the church requires it,—they would then be satisfied, and give no further trouble:—This pr
