3rd. 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 Meetingat a School-house near Gloucester, not very large on account of aBurial, &; visited four families afternoon; and the next day five fami-lies, which closed our Visit to families of Newtown Meeting; about90, to our comfort, &; the satisfaction of those visited, for ought thatappear'd. 10th. I have visited several other sick persons, not with- out a reward, &; had two pretty large Meetings in School-houses to goodsatisfaction. 11th. At our monthly Meeting I laid before my friends the continu-ance of a concern to pay a farther Visit within the Governments of New-York &; Canada, which was referred to the next meeting. 13th. Visiting sick people, of whom there are many; and some dieat short Warning: to me the season seems alarming, &; I fear hard-ness of heart increaseth; with extortion in high prices, as though therewould 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? 15th. Again, I have visited several who were under deep bodilyinfirmity; the State of whom caused serious contemplation concern-ing some circumstances: Some are falling out with one another by theway, contending about things which appear to be of so little worthin a dying hour, that there is no name of a small enough Value tocall them by. Oh that all would try to be rich in good Works!
