Y. (Dutch), i. 340. * Wm. Beeckman to Stuyvesant, February 15, 1661. Col. Docs. N. Y. xii. 336. 128 RELIGION IN NEW NETHERLAND debt to the City of Amsterdam. To liquidate this debt and at the same time to strengthen the southern boun- dary of the Province, the Directors of the Amsterdam Chamber and the Burgomasters of the City carried on negotiations, which finally resulted in the cession of Fort Casimir and the territory on the west side of the river , from Christina Kill to the mouth of Delaw...are Bay, to the City of Amsterdam. The Burgomasters, in their draft of the conditions for the settlement, did not neglect to provide for religion. They proposed to erect, in the market-place or some other convenient spot of the colony ; a public building suitable for divine service, a house for the minister, aiid also a school, which might serve at the same time as the residence of the school- master, whose ofl&ce included the duties of sexton and psalmsetter. The salaries of both were to be paid pro- visionally by the City, unless the Company decided otherwise.' In a later draft, the City of Amsterdam only offered to send there a schoolmaster, who was also to read the Holy Scriptures and set the Psalms,^ but the States General, in its ratification of the report of its com- mittee on the conditions for this settlement, insisted on the installation of a preacher and consistory as soon as the colony should number about two hundred families." By the spring of 1657, from one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and eighty immigrants had settled at Fort Casimir, which now received the name of New Amstel , Here the vice-director of the City of Amsterdam Jacob Alrichs, took up his residence.
