Edward Taitt was a "Ranter," and it is unlikely that any one sect was in a majority. This of course was conducive to a general toleration of individual opinions, especially as we have seen that, there was no regular preacher, but "the people," they conducted their own service to a large extent. Nor must we overlook the circumstance that the Baptist Denomination, at this date was but being introduced into the American ecclesiastical family.

If they grew into a majority into the little Independent Church at Middletown, we might naturally expect an exodus of the Baptist members. That such exodus was accomplished without friction is creditable to both sides, and the open communion of those primitive Baptists, is of course, an evidence of the spirit which prevailed between the several denominations. We cannot, however, shut our eyes to the effect upon religion in the province, of the unsettled condition of the government, the lack of religious instruction incident to a new country, and the theological unrest and disturbance that ob...
