sible of the charge this parish has lately been at, both in incourageing ye North precinct, at we I have rejoyced, and moveing ye pulpit wrin I find help and benefit. It is not y"fore wthout sensible trouble, yt I feel a ne- cessity to tell you my sinking circumstances. I have recª my Sallary, and yet find myselfe more than £20 in debt for necessaries received ye last year, besides what is advanced in ys, we is more yn half of yt sum. And yet I have pay'd my money, rec'd of you, as far as it would go, reserving but a short pittance to myselfe. In other years yt I have been wth you, when I was in Straits (as wt I have had of you has never maintained me), I helped myselfe out of my own estate, &c., more than 20 pounds, and yt most cheerfully ; for I came not here to make a prey of you, nor an estate among you ; but because I thou't God call'd me here : But of late such has been, & yet are the circumstances of my proper estate, yt I cant do as I have done ; could I, I had done it still wthout troubling you now. In short, Brethren, if to have no cheese, butt", malt, nor stock of meal, no more yn one bushel of corn, nor money to buy, be to be in want, I am so. But I will not faint, ye Earthe is ye Lord's and the fullness y"of. Brethren, If you can consid" me and raise my Sallary in time to come, I leave it with you & commit myselfe to ye Lord, & under him to you, while I am among you ; Being willing to my utmost to serve you so long as ye Ld shall enable me, and you willing to suport me.
