and I arose the Spirit of God rested upon me I declared the word of God to the people in great
plainness my words were at times mixed with the report of musketry that were echoing outside of
of the house. I was plain in declairing to the people the judgments of God I shook my garments in the
presens of the people & informed them that I was clear of their Blood. I asked if any wished to receieve the
gospel & two arose to Be Baptized We closed the meeting after the evening had borne its report to heaven

from wickedness and pollution men learn righteousness & satan know the length of his chain. We
