host, I was disgusted with his hypocrisy
and returned home.My father no longer
attempted our conversion, but forbad us
to go to Church, and we were almost
shunned by the rest of the familty.
Affection for our father deterred us from
publickly  publicly making our profession in the
Romish Church.
I lost my dear father at the age of
19; and on opening his will, it was found
that our faith had diminished our
property. The family was separated
by this event, and I was sent to board
with a lady in Berkshire. Persecution
and controversy having ceased, the
stimulus to my faith was removed,
and I began to think if I were really
in the right path. I now read, not
to convince, but to be convinced. One
thing indeed I had never been taught
and therefore never did.I never
prayed for the Spirit of Truth
.
