<date>65. in June</date> We received a Call to <placename>Oldmans Creek in the
Jersey</placename>, to the Service of the Congregation there. <gap></gap>Here
in <date>June 66.</date> I was so violently seized with a Fever, that
every Body doubted of my Recovery; after I was grown
somewhat better, I was again taken ill with a Fever
and Ague, which greatly reduced my Strength, and brought
me into no small Perplexity, as I had no One to assist
in the Service of the little Flock there. In this Pressure
I turnd me unto our Saviour, and he heard my Sighs.
After We had served the Congregation there, with the
gracious Support and Blessing of our Saviour, 2
Years and 3 Months, We went to <placename>Philadelphia</placename> in
Consequence of a Call we received to the Service of
the Congregation there. But this Call was soon
revoked, so after a pleasing Stay of 2 Months in
<placename>Bethlehem</placename> We came here to <hi rend="underline"><placename>Manakesy</placename></hi><placename> in Mary-
-Land</placename>, in <date>Dec</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>r</date></hi><date>. the same Year</date>; Where our Saviour
has hitherto graciously blest and guided me, and
has let me have much Joy of the Souls here.
[page break]
especially I adore in the Dust before him, with a thank-
-ful Sinner Heart, for the particular Feeling of his
precious and consolatory Nearness. <gap></gap>So far our
deceased Brother's own Words.
Of his last Days and Hours, his Widow has com-
-municated the following. <gap></gap>In the Night between
the <date>3</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>d</date></hi><date>. and 4</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date>. of April</date>, my dear Husband was seized
with a violent Fever and Pain in his Breast; notwithstanding
which on the <date>4</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date>.</date> He kept the usual Wednesday Meeting.
But the <date>8</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date>.</date> in the Night he was so weak, that I and
the Brethren and Sisters present thought, he would imme-
-diately go home. <gap></gap>This Paroxysm lasted 4 Hours;
We at last found that He was in a Lethargy, and after
much Pains taken we brought him to himself again. He
was uncommonly feeble, and said: O could I have gone
to our Saviour! the <date>9</date><hi rend="superscript"><date>th</date></hi><date>.</date> he said to me, I have never
had in any Sickness such a homeward Feeling as in
This. <gap></gap>And as he perceived my Tears, he lookd on Me
