I repaired in company with Elder Ball to a stream of water we their clensed our feet with pure water
and bore testimony unto God through Jesus Christ against Mr Douglass the Methodest Priest for
rejecteding our testimony & offending our little ones this is the third witness borne to heaven
against that man O God reward him according to thy Mercy, Judgment, Justice, & Truth. We call
upon Br & Sister Merchant & found them possessing a good spirit walked to Capt Watson Hopkins
& Preached {Christ and him crucified} at his house, although many entertained fears that we should be mod'd [mobbed] we
had a good time & still meeting spent the night at his house distance of the day 3 miles
We saw a sign in the heavens it had the appearence of a full Moon about ten feet under the sun
