Pounds left - 200 of which would have been theirs if I had <sic>maried</sic>  <corr>married</corr> again
I returnd to <placename>Bristol</placename>; and now the Holy Spirit labourd to convince
me that the cause of all my Sufferings was that I had left my first
Love often <sic>aplying</sic>  <corr>applying</corr> the words which had been said the Church of old
But I still went on in a self righteous way for several years - -
