Father laid upon Him the iniquity of us all. The ar-
dency of mind which I felt was great, and I am thankful
the spirit of prayer was imported to me, that I might in-
tercede thereby for the application of his Virtuous Blood,
which poured forth from His Wounds, when He hung a
Spectacle in the air, Dying for all Nations, who were
Made by Him. I gave Captain Hendrick my pocket book,
as I had not a crown to reward him with, for interpreta-
tion. When I came out, many of the Indians gladly took
me by the hand, which affectionately I saluted after the
same manner, knowing, One God was our Father, Re-

I went a few miles, and held a second meeting in a

many places, have to assemble

heart, and keep me in
remembrance, for the exercise of
my faith and prayer. The day was finished
by riding five
miles alone, contemplating the Love of God in Christ
to
me.
Appointments are made for me in five places, one for
each day; so my work
follows me, though I feared being
kept idle. The insatiate thirst for souls
which I feel,
is a thousand times more than for my daily bread, or
ne-
cessary raiment, therefore I am continually brought
into
perplexities and doubts for the different situations of my
hearers.
In many corners here, I find some desiring to
know what they shall do to
obtain Life Eternal; which I
am baptized for, as I pass along from one place
to another,
