At that meeting nine men were chosen "to consider of a suitable sum of money for his encouragement which gentlemen have agreed to give Mr. Palmer 200 pounds settlement to be paid in four years at 50 pounds per year in bills of credit with 90 pounds salary for the four years, and afterwards, 100 pounds per year so long as he shall remain the town's minister, and if the money should still grow worse, we will raise in proportion, and if it should grow better, then to raise in proportion." A committee was then appointed to seek out Mr. Palmer and make him their offer [Jenkins 68].
