been brought to us & rode 8 miles back into
Kentucky over the hills streams rocks & valleys

Saint & an Elder in the Church but had lost his faith
if he ever had any as had also Br Youtsey in
the same neighbourhood they had got their eye
fixed more upon strayburys [strawberries] & raspburrys (as they
were cultivating 10 or 15 acres of them for market)
than they had upon the mark or the prize of the
high calling in Christ Jesus, we found they
had neither of them any faith in the work. we
theire was an appointment given out for us
to preach at 4 oclock but we did not arive untill
