when Jesus, which I did, saying, "Lend Jesus
have mercy upon me!" No sooner had I cal-
led upon him by that name, them my condem-
nation was all taken away, and I rejoiced
wondering at there at the same time, that I had read
my Bible so often, and had never called u-
pon Jesus before. Now then words came
into my mind, "He shall be called Jesus, for
he shall save his people from their sins, and
I rejoiced in God my Savior. This impression
was so deeply fixed in my heart, that when
relieving to rest, I always looked to him in
spirit on hanging of, on the cross.
For sometime after, I had been concerned
for my salvation, and now I felt delirious
to be connected with a people of God. In
this view I went to bear the Methodists, loo-
king upon the, as a people of God. I read
Mr. Whitfield's Sermon and saved several
of Mr. Wesley's preachers. I joined the Me-
thodists, and with great Zeal frequented their
meetings tho I had sometimes to walk
four miles in the dark. But by and bye,
observing how they differed among themselves
about points of doctrine, I left them,
thinking they were not a people of God.
