This own Conscience and no one taking to the <sic>Busyness</sic>&nbsp; <corr>Business</corr> I sold of with<br />
great loss - so that when I had paid the legacy I had but 250<br />
Pounds left - 200 of which would have been theirs if I had <sic>maried</sic>&nbsp; <corr>married</corr> again<br />
I <abbr>returnd</abbr> to <placename>Bristol</placename>; and now the Holy Spirit <abbr>labourd</abbr> to convince<br />
me that the cause of all my Sufferings was that I had left my first<br />

But I still went on in a self righteous way for several years - -<br />
