a <abbr>Cong</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>n</abbr></hi> settled. But the loving &amp; hearty Spirit, which prevailed<br />
at that time among the <abbr>B</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>rn</abbr></hi> &amp; <abbr>S</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>rs</abbr></hi> together with the continual<br />
increase of both <abbr>Cong</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>n</abbr></hi> &amp; Society, made it lively &amp; encouraging. But<br />
now especially the kind interposition &amp; assistance of our heavenly<br />
Father often to owor[?] &amp; the <abbr>Cong</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>n&#39;s</abbr></hi> astonishment, really pressed<br />
tears of Gratitude from all our eyes. In <date>176<del>0</del></date><add><date>3</date></add> we were called to<br />
<placename><u>Haverfordwest</u></placename>. Soon after we came there the <abbr>Cong</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>n</abbr></hi> was settled,<br />
&amp; we had the favour to be eye witnesses &amp; fellow partakers of the<br />
many showers of blessings our dear Lord was pleased to bestow<br />
upon that little flock. The preaching was held &amp; the <abbr>Cong</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>n</abbr></hi><br />
also settled in a&nbsp;<u>Malt house</u>. At this time our Saviour direct-<br />
ed us, to a convenient place, which was immediately purchased,<br />
tiso[?] of the houses were converted into a&nbsp;<u>Chapel</u>, one was apporopri-<br />
ated to the lise[?] of the Labourers, &amp; the other rented to our people.<br />
Drying[?] our abode there, we had the pleasure of a visit of <abbr>B</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>r</abbr></hi> <persname>Jo-<br />
hannes</persname> &amp; <abbr>S</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>r</abbr></hi> <persname>Benigna</persname>, and <abbr>B</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>r</abbr></hi> and <abbr>S</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>r</abbr></hi> <persname>Boehler</persname>, they expressed<br />
great satisfaction of their visit, spoke with all the <abbr>B</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>rn</abbr></hi> &amp;<br />
<abbr>S</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>rs</abbr></hi> &amp; said, they had not been <add>in</add> a little <abbr>Cong</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>n</abbr></hi>, where they had felt<br />
a more loving &amp; <abbr>Cong</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>n</abbr></hi> like Spirit, than in <placename><u>Haverfordwest</u></placename>.<br />
We removed from there for <abbr>B</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>r</abbr></hi> <persname>Gambold</persname> to by his native<br />
Air for his declining health, and got a Call to <placename><u>Leominster</u></placename><br />
in the Year <date>1766</date>. There we spent about&nbsp;<u>four Years</u>, &amp; then<br />
got a call to&nbsp;<placename><u>Fulneck</u></placename>. We took <placename>Bath</placename> in our way, on ac-<br />
count of my late dear Husband&#39;s health, which was much im-<br />
paired by a stroke of the Apoplexy. Then we came to<br />
<placename>Fulneck</placename> we heard that our two Daughters were expected in <placename>Lon-<br />
don</placename> from <placename>America</placename>, the U.S. Conference having written for them<br />
to come over, in company with <abbr>B</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>r</abbr></hi> &amp; <abbr>S</abbr><hi rend="superscript"><abbr>r</abbr></hi> <persname>Marshall</persname>. We found<br />
afterwards the Letter arrived too late. We went to <placename>London</placename> to<br />
