a clergyman, who had heard of me, by one of my former
Mistresses, wished me to go in service to the marquis
of Rockingham near Sheffield to which I consorted, here
I felt very uncomfortable, there being a great member
of servants, who were persecutions of our Savior and his
People, and I was very uneasy among them, being much
afraid I should suffer harm in my soul, and never be saved.
I frequently went to hear David Taylor preach, his Sermons
were very applicable to my case, more especially when he
treated of our Saviors sufferings for poor sinners. at this
time I was very much hurt with all the Servants, partic-
ularly the Steward, who said that all tho went to hear
those preach should have a small house that stood near
the Fishpond to receive grace in, and the Pond to wash
their sins away, but not long after, this same man was
drowned in that very pond. I now resolved to leave this
place, as I could not be happy here, so I left them, and not
knowing any body but the Farmer where I first heard David
Taylor preach, I beged him to conduct me to my mother,
which he did as far as Leeds from there I walked home
to my Parents, being quite tired of Service, among uncon-
verted People, my relations being at that time also in an
unconverted stake of mind, I was resolved to leave them and seek
a people of god with whom I could be in fellowship
