His remains were interred in the old Dutch Church, in Garden-street. He died esteemed and lamented by all ; and the public paper of the day spoke of him in the highest terms. The Rev. Johannes Ritzenia was settled, as an associate pastor, in 1744: left the city during the war, in 1776, and died in 1796. Next came the Rev. Lambertus De Ronde, in 1751, who died, at Schaghticoke, in 1795. All these were accustomed to preach entirely in the Dutch lan- guage. And their first preacher, in the Eng- li...sh language, was the Rev. Archibald Laidlie, a native of Scotland, who settled as one of the collegiate pastors, in 1764. This introducing of the English language was much against the will and wishes of a great part of the Dutch Church, especially the older members, who were very much attached to their native tongue. But there were others, who wanted the English language introduced into the pulpit, and thought it absolutely essential to the welfare of the Dutch Church, as it undoubtedly was. And this difference of opinion, in relation to the lan- guage, occasioned a very fooh'sh and injurious commotion, for some time, in the Dutch Church.
