"As I have been charged before the Committee for having uttered expressions derogatory to the Continental Congress, invidious to a particular denomination of Christians, and tending to impede the opposition of my countrymen to Ministerial oppression, I do hereby declare myself heartily sorry for my imprudent expressions, and do sincerely promise for the future to coincide with every measure prosecuted for the redress of American grievances; so far as is consistent with the religious principles of the society to which I belong."

"THOMAS SMITH."
