The Audience were now admitted, and Broadhead their Elder gave them a second discourse and if possible more thundering still ! He roared, he stamped, he called aloud on the Sinner to desert the Devil's quarters, and try religion a while, if no longer, "come " said this thundering Fanatic "I'll engage that the Devil will take you again, if you chuse, at any time! Ay I will be the devil's bondsman that he shall accept of you." What a religious Traffic is this ? Tre- mendous expressions, and could come from no one but a Mad Man or a Fool! This is a refinement in Methodism unheard of before ! To bring souls to Jesus Christ to give them to the Devil! Horrid ! !
While partaking of the sacramental institution, instead of order, the Hubbub but increased. The Females were lean- ing their Heads on each other; their hair all dishevelled, and their Handkerchiefs unpinned ; and some of them in a swoon ! One young Girl was in Hysteric Fits, for an hour or more,

APPENDIX B.
and when led out of the house and a Physician present told them they had best give the young Woman some Motherwort Tea, she replied "I don't want any Motherwort tea, I am filled with the Love of Jesus " !
One circumstance we cannot forbear here to mention, it will serve to show how well bred these gentry are, and in what a polite style they often compliment their Audience! Two very respectable Women of this place, of delicate habits had got very much frightened and proceeded to leave the House when their Elder gave a savage Yell "My God stop those ungodly sinners before they drop into Hell "-Shame where is thy blush.
In the after part of the day, after the Audience had a respite of an hour, they were convened to hear the remain- der of this religious Hallobolo. A Sermon was again pro- nounced ! and the noise and bustle begun. Their favorite Champion Ostrander now arose, and stormed like a Bedlam- ite! The Brethren catched the same spirit, and the room trembled and shook as tho there had been an Earthquake! They arose, and such cryings, shriekings, holy ravings, and incoherent bawlings, never struck our ears before! Exhorta- tions, warnings, Prayers, were all blended in one; "My God a little more faith " says one "my Jesus come " another, "Lord am I thy servant " a third "Now, now, now, for a little more power " a fourth, "O my God one grain of faith, we want more faith, we want one grain of faith more " and so on until many people were really frighted and some of the fair sex, who sat trembling all the while had nigh fainted. And many of the judicious part of the audience, pronounced them to be men insane more than under the influence of the spirit of God. The eyes of this Ostrander at the time, resembled the fierceness of a Tyger's, rather than a man's.
Lion the well known Canterbury Zealot, and a great stick- ler in matters of religion, and who has formerly been a Sep-

aratist, now gave an exhortation in the genuine old fashioned new Light strain, that reminded the writer of the lines of Mr. Butler in his Geneva Ballad, who girds them for speak- ing thro' the nose.
" To draw in Proselytes, like Bees, With pleasing twang, he tunes his prose, He gives his handkerchief a squeeze, And draws religion thro' his nose."
and while he drew the attention of the Audience, towards an aged sister, who in days past he had been joined with in the same Church, and exclaimed as he did, " Give me your hand sister, look at her, see how she looks, she looks as tho she would look death and hell out of countenance." We were convinced that he had not lost the old ancient spirit of New- lightism, or that he had not gained that much different by consorting with the Methodists.
An evening's discourse in which the same species of dis- traction, that reigned thro the day predominated, concluded this holy Muster. The "Woods" Preacher is thanked for giving us the history of so notable a case, as the Man he had read of who had preached for eight years, and had never been converted. And who he " supposed a Presbyterian Clergyman." The Presbyterians and the Methodists perhaps had as well settled the point among themselves, as we are not very anxious to know to what particular Sect or Church he belonged. Whether he be a sober Presbyterian or a lank faced Methodist.
A man by the name of Burroughs, and very Zealous, was one of the principal leading Exhorters in this meeting. "Pray Mr. Burroughs, when was it, just after you had been detected in sending away Chestnut tree'd Saddles, or when, that you commenced Methodist Preacher."
One young Convert cried out that "she had got the Keys

APPENDIX B.
of Hell" and when the meeting closed as they were descend- ing the stairs, a Female accosted another of their order somewhat dark in her mind, and says to her "an't you ashamed to fall away from grace." This being a favourite topic with them, it may serve to shew how well they are indoctrinated on this point.
They are not in general fond of the spirit of Prophesy- but one of their sect, a large heavy Woman, who they stile the "Elect Lady " took it upon herself to assume a spirit of Prophesy on the occasion. "To morrow " says she " I believe will be such a day as Norwich never saw before." The old Lady actually lived to see her Prophesy realized.
Many of the Methodists, in this place, and some of their Preachers, on perusal of this Pamphlet, may probably say that the foregoing pages do not contain a true relation of their order. They may well be ashamed of the Picture, tho it be a good likeness of the Original. But Reader; these are facts as they occurred, without any colouring or disguise, and not in the least exaggerated. Most who hear them do not know what wild Enthusiasts they be.
We have heard none that has joined to their Church of late except the Gennessee Goldsmith ; and he the only one who has had the audacity to approbate their late proceed- ings.
It is delightful to behold the visages of those of their pro- fession. Their faces are as long, many of them, as tho a Fifty-six were extended from their Chins.
Their wild extravagances, and different grades of religious Enthusiasm may be traced in their Watch Nights, Classes, Bands and Love feasts: In England their conduct has been such, that the Populace instead of argument have had re- course to Bricks, Bats, and Stones, to shew their resentment of them, as the only alternative.
We have now only to regret that one of their principal supporters here, has been so far led away by them. And
247
APPENDIX B.
while the beams of civil and religious liberty are diffused abroad, the mass of superstition, and of error with which Christianity has long been shrouded, with all those doctrines degrading to human nature, must of course disappear, and a rational system of religion in its stead alone prevail.
