meanwhile occurred the wellknown hard trials
in England, so that the brethren had no time
to think of our settling here upon a sure footing,
and upon all the letters we wrote during
the space of 18 months, we received no answer
All the newspapers were filled with the
most bitter speeches against us, which were
often repeated at our windows by persons who
were evil inclined. We laid our heavy cir-

our cocern concern, that the Congn was to stay at
Neuwied, to build proper habitations and
was to be augmented. The word of the day

(viz. July the 22d) was: "The glory of the Lord
"shall be revealed, and all flesh shall ice it
"together: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken
"it." It is not possible to describe what joy
this account occassioned in the Congn. All
praised and adored the Lord for his kindness
towards us. Our concession being drawn, up
