3rd.

We visited another settlement of those called Shakers: after a
solid conferrence we were permitted to see the women, who appeared

they were too much unacquainted with the Cross of Christ; yet they
speak of living under the cross.

The next day travelled on
a rough road through a mountainous Country to Charles Richards's

House at Goshen; and the next day following a large and solid Meeting was
held there: It may be remarked the people in those parts are long in ga-

, and the 8th.
had one at New-milford; which was low in the forepart; untill some
gay people not of our perswasion came in; unto whom I believe
the Lord had regard, for ability was received to extend gospel labour
for their benefit: as a lukewarm drowsy spirit was to be felt
