was settled at <placename>Bristoll</placename> a Day that I
long'd with to see for many years,
and had my lot to be one amongst the rest
This was a Day that had it been possible
I could have sunk into nothing for shame
and unworthingness before my Dear
Savior who have done so much for
me & brought me to His people at last
with home I am determind to spen the 
rest of my days was it at the loss of
all things or let the consequence be what 
it will, so I have good but his sweet
nearness to support me thats enough for
me, In the following year August the 22
1756 it was agreed upon to habve a 
Chappell & Burring Ground at <placename>Kingwood</placename>
which I had often times wish to see
before I went home, and accordinly
he have granted my request in that
and many things more for which I thank
Him Heartilly and now what my poor
Heart have felt in that place I wish
to all those that shall hear my dear brethren
