Jersey</placename>, to the Service of the Congregation there. <gap></gap>Here
in <date>June 66.</date> I was so violently <unclear>[?]</unclear> 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.
