Life's Golden Mean who steadily pursues Will Fortune's Gift by no Extreme abuse : Ten, or Ten Thousand Acres let her give In due Proportion still that Man will live ; And whether Roots or Ragouts are his Diet, Alike will dine, alike will sleep in Quiet.
In Time be wise, & give your Labour o'er Enough acquir'd, why should you toil for more ? Has Heaven been pleased your industry to bless To Heav'n by use your Gratitude express, The more you have, the Risk of Want's the less.
His Elegy on George Fraser begins :
Jersey ! lament in briny tears, Your Dawty's gane to his Forbears : Wae worth him ! Death has clos'd the Sheers, And clip'd his Thread : Just in the Prime of a' his Years George Fraser's dead.
Sure Heav'n beheld our Courses thrawn, And him in Anger has withdrawn ; This Tide o' Grief, poor Parson Vaughan Can never stem it : Nae mair the blythesome day shall dawn, On thee, George Emmott !
The Elegy concludes :
Weel since from weeping us he's riv'n Just at the Age of Forty Seven, May to his Hands the Staff be given Which he on Earth, Refus'd, and Constable in Heav'n Be George's Berth !

The bar was next taken to the chafery (not chastery, as printed in the text), where the two ends were drawn out and the bar finished. - Swank's Iron in All Ages, 83-88.

To be Sold, on Reasonable Terms by the aforesaid John Burr, the herein after mentioned Saw-Mills, Tracts and Lotts of Land Situate in the County of Burlington aforesaid, Viz.
Two Lotts in Bridgetown containing about 10 Acres near said Iron Works.
One half part of a very good new Saw-Mill which works 2 Saws together, with one half the Land there- unto belonging being well Timber'd with Ceader, Pine and Oak ; very good Feed for Creatures :
2 This was near Clinton, Hunterdon county. William Allen was Chief Justice of Pennsylvania, 1751-1774. Allentown in that State was named after him. Joseph Turner, of Philadelphia, was associated with him in his iron works in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Under date of November 10, 1750, Governor Belcher wrote that there was "one mill or engine for slitting and rolling of iron, situate in the township of Bethlehem, in the county of Hunterdon, on the south branch of the river Raritan, the property of Messrs. William Allen and Joseph Turner, of Philadelphia, which is not now in use."-N. J. Archives, VII., 558, 560. The works had been stopped in pursuance of an act of Parliament, prohibiting the establishment and operation of such works in the colonies. In his History of New Sweden, published at Stockholm in 1759, by Israel Acrelius, and translated and published by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, in 1874, Acrelius says (page 166): " Union Iron Works. Here is a tract of twelve thou- sand acres belonging to William Allen and Thomas Turner, Esqs. They have two mines distant one and a half miles from each other. The iron is of good quality in both. In the one which is most used, and twenty feet deep, iron appears mixed with sulphur and copper. But below the surface, good and pure ore is found all along, that can be used in all sorts of ways. Of the mine that has been less used, only small ex- perience has been had, and not much has been smelted-only about forty tons, which, however, appears to be of good quality. Here are two furnaces and two forges, each with two stacks. Also a trip-hammer and flatting-hammer." The Union Works appear to have been entirely abandoned in 1778 .- Swank's Iron in All Ages, 155.

To the Publisher of the Boston Evening-Post. Sir,
Observing in the Evening-Post, of Nov. I. A Let- ter to. Mr. G. Tennent, in the Close of which he is earnestly desired to explain his Sentiments more clearly, and having waited with Impatience for his Answer, till I begin to think it may not suit his Inter- est or Inclination to make any Reply to such ensnar- ing Questions, after his former Letters have given so much Offence to the Generation of God's Children, and so visibly damp'd the Usefulness of his Servants ; I pray your Favour to let me give such an Answer for him, as may be collected from the publick Writ- ings of him, and other avowed Friends to the Work.
I. He is desired to tell precisely and clearly what he means by the Work of God, and to give some certain Scripture Marks of an Opposer of it."
Now, not to observe the Inaccuracy of the Querist, who has evidently put together two Heads, as one, perhaps out of Regard to the Old Proverb-I answer, (1.) By the Work of God is to be understood that great Work which has been begun and carried on
162
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1743
among us, by "a Number of Preachers full of the "Holy Ghost, who have gone about preaching the "Gospel of the Grace of God, from Place to Place, "with uncommon Zeal and Assiduity," viz. Mr. White- field, Mr. Tennent himself, and his Brethren, the New-Brunswick Presbytery, together with other Gos- pel Ministers educated at the Log-House, and their Adherents,-and Mr. Davenport, Messieurs Pomroy, Wheelock, Allen, Croswell, Rogers, Bewel, &c. in New-England. Now, every Body Knows, what Work these faithful Servants of God, have made, and do carry on, "and they must be stone blind, who do "not see they have all the Evidences of a Work of God." (2.) As to the Scripture Marks of an Op- poser-I answer, that it appears by the Concordance the Word Opposer is seldom mentioned in the Scrip- ture. But it is plain that "all those who oppose "those faithful Servants of God, tho' under the Cov- "ert of opposing supposed or real Indiscretions, "oppose his Work, and it is no rash judging to believe "all such Persons to be graceless."
2. It is asked how a Minister who is sound in Prin- ciple, and regular in Practice, can be an open Opposer of the Work of God?
I answer (r.) That however difficult it may be to explain the Case, yet Matter of Fact cannot be de- nied. And tho' "this Fruit don't ordinarily grow on "Arminian Ground," unless when under the Culture of a Wesley, or a Moravian, and the like; yet it is notoriously known, that many the most sound and regular, the most pious and orthodox Ministers which
163
NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS.
1743]
this (or any other Age) has produced, have opposed the foresaid servants of God and their Work.
B[ut] (2.) Not to mince the Matter, Ministers (that are Opposers) may be found in Principle, so as to be "able to prate orthodoxly, and yet Strangers to "the feeling Experience of the New Birth." And their Regularity in Practice may be only meer Moral- ity, or Pharisaism, and plaistered Hypocrisy. And so being unconverted, they retain their native Enmity to the Power of Godliness, and hence oppose these powerful Preachers, tho' "in most Places where they "have laboured, God has evidently wro't with them, "and confirmed the Word by Signs following," so that as above, it is no rash judging to believe all such Persons to be graceless : Nay, ' the Malignity of some "of them, approaches near to the unpardonable Sin."
3. It is demanded, what Rule there is in the Word of God to separate from such Ministers as are sound and regular, because opposers.
I answer, (1.) These Opposers being Carnal, can- not understand the true Sense of Scripture, and so are incapable of Knowing when they are answered, but if ever they receive New Light, they will see suffi- cient Authority in that Text, 2 Cor. 6. 17. In the mean While, (2.) They should consider, it is an ex- traordinary Case, "the Apostolical Times have re- "turned," and in extraordinary Times, we are not so much to look at the Rules prescribed for ordinary Times and Seasons. (3.) But after all, there is no need to look for Scripture Rules to justify the Doc- trine and Conduct of such Ministers of the Grace of God, who have visibly received the Holy Ghost, both
164
NEW JERSEY COLONIAL DOCUMENTS. [1743
with and without Imposition of Hands, "for the Holy "Spirit is above all Scripture, being the Author of it."
And now, Sir, having taken Pains to answer these Questions, I desire his Friends to answer one for me, and that is, Whether Mr. Tennent by being willing to connive at unconverted Ministers, if favourers of the Work, doth not betray a scandalous Partiality, and is not inconsistent with his pretended Zeal for his Master and for Souls, in his famous Nottingham Ser- mon, and so discovers the true Spirit of a meer Party- Man, and thereby gives us a clue, with which 'tis easy to unravel the whole of this great Mystery? ·
I am, Sir, &c.
