I attended a Meeting held in a School-House over Cooper's
Creek,
a large and solid Meeting, which ended well.
On the 5th I had a Meeting
at a School-house near Gloucester
Burial, & visited four families afternoon; and the next day five fami-
lies, which closed our Visit to families of Newtown Meeting
90, to our comfort, & the satisfaction of those visited, for ought that
appear'd.
I have visited several other sick persons, not with-
out a reward, & had
two pretty large Meetings in School-houses to good
satisfaction.
At our monthly Meeting
ance of a concern to pay a farther Visit within the Governments of
New-York
Visiting sick people, of whom there are many; and some die
at short Warning:
to me the season seems alarming, & I fear hard-
ness of heart
increaseth; with extortion in high prices, as though there
would not be a
living for the poor: Oh the Worldly spirit which prevails;
Will not the Lord
be angry, & stretch forth his hand more severely?
Again, I have visited several who were under deep bodily
infirmity; the State
of whom caused serious contemplation concern-
ing some circumstances: Some
are falling out with one another by the
way, contending about things which
appear to be of so little worth
in a dying hour, that there is no name of a
small enough Value to
call them by. Oh that all would try to be rich in good
Works!
