I was born at Northarm in the parish of Halifax
in the year <add>May 29</add> 1722. My Parents being very religious
endeavour'd to bring me up strictly in the fear of God.

and active, on that account took the greater care of me takeing

vein intention to settle societies, accordingly tookdown the names of
those who constantly atended the preaching. I therefore was willing
to have mine taken down, which was no sooner done, but I was
amazingly struck, thinking I am now however fast, but did not
