* TW JOURNAL of 


and ten years of age, my father and mother ſent m 
near two miles to ſchool, to Richard Scoryer, in tha BY 'M 
ſaburbs of London. I went moſtly. by my ſelf to de 


2 


+ Tchool; and many and various were the exerciſcs 1 O: 
went through, by beatings and ſtonings along the rh. 
ſtreets, being diſtinguiſhed. to the people (by the Mre 
5 badge of plainneſs which my parents put upon me) Mero 
$ Ml of what profeſſion Iv as; divers telling me, Twas 8 
Fl no more fin to kill me than it was to kill a dog. ee 
About this time the Lord began to work ſtrongly be. 
on my mind by his Grace, inſomuch that Icould no . 
ſorbear from reproving thoſe lads who would take the e 
name of the Lord God in their mouths in vain, re- 1; 
minding them of the third commandment, 7 hox bal; he 
nor take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the co. 
Lord «vill not hold him guiltleſs that taketh his name in. be 
' £ain; and of Chriſt's ſaying, very idle word that ane 
men ſhall ſbeak, they ſhall give account thereof in ths ling 
day of judgment; for which I was mocked and de- ane 
xided by . and others would ſometimes refrain cor 
from ſuck bad words when I reproved them. =_ 
1685. One time I remember I was amongſt for: too 
men, one of whom I had reproved, and he told the 15959 
reſt of it, and turned to me, and ſaid, ** Thar I was Jof 
*© no chriſtian, and asked me when I iid the Lord's ur 
prayer. L asked him if be ſaid it? He ſaid, yes, I 8 1 
then asked him how he could call God father, and be bo 
fa wicked as to ſwear and take God's name in vain * the 
which I had heard him often do; and I told him RW wh 
hat Chriſt ſaid to the Jews, Nn are of your father pla 
the: devil, becauſe his works ye do; and that thoſe that cn 
did the . devil's work could not truly call God a- tim 
ther, according to Chriſt's doEtrine. So being con- mil 
victed in their conſciences that what ſaid was true, 
they were all ſilent, and wondered that I, being fo dec 
young, ſhould ſpeak in ſuch a manner; in which I MW ty: 
xemember I had great peace and good ſatisfaction : een 
and from thenceforth theſe men let me alone. = pc

were one Edwards a prieft, and a lawyer the tg. 
ney-genera), and ſeveral of the juſtices of the peace 
Tae prieſt was angry, and ſaid, It was an unjayfy 
« aflembl y, the houſe not being licenſed by lay“ 
The juſtice told him, That he and his people beirg 
* thereto hear, ifany urwarrantable or falſe dottrij: 
te was preached, he had a fair opportunity to lay j 


s open before all the people. So they deſired hin 


to hear patiently and quietly. He ſcem'd ro like the 
propoſitcion, and fit down by me. We had nat 
down long before I ſtood up, and ſpoke to the peopl 


ſome conhiderable time; and the lawyer ſat oppo; 


to me, and took what I ſaid in ſhort-hand, for about 
half an hour; but growing weaty, he laid down his 
pen, and took out of his pocket a bottle of liquor, 
or ſpirits, and ſaid, Come, friend, here is to thee 
* (or you) you have ſpoke a great while, you need 
te ſomething to refreſh you. So I made a ſtop, and 
laid to the people, Here is your miniſter, and here is 
ſome of the fruits of his miniſtry, of which he and 
all ſober people may be aſhamed. And then I wen! 
on again without any oppoſition till I had done; bur 
Atte rwards they were in a rage, and threatned what 


they would do to me, if ever I came to have a meet- 


mg any more there. But I told em if they had poy- 
er to take our lives from us, they were not dear to 
us for the ſake of Chriſt and his goſpel; and that we 
did not matter their threatnings. I deſired the law- 
yer to give me a copy of what he had written: he 
went about it, but did not do it; neither was he can- 
did in penning my Words; for ſeveral of the pcople 
then preſent did bear witneſs he had not wrote it ver- 
batim, nor truly taken the ſenſe of what I ſpoke, 


"whereforeIcharged him to be juſt, otherwiſe he had 


many witneſſes againſt him; at which the prieſt bent 
his aft, and held it up to me, but did nor ſtrike me.

me that I got money for preaching, and grew rich 
by it; which being a common caiumny caſt pot 
our public friends that are travellers, I ſhall takes 
little notice of it, and leave it to poſterity. That i 
is againſt our principle, and contrary to our known 
practice and rule to take money for our preaching 
the goſpel of Chriſt, and the publiſhing of ſalvation 
through his name unto che people; for according t9 


Chriſt's command, Me receiving it freely, are to gin 
it fertbfreely: And I can ſay, without vanity or boalt-

Ene another. From Eufeld we went forward for 


non, and by the way we met ſeveral friends (of 
EE. meeting of Horſydoaon, ro which I did belong 


From my childhood) who came to meet me, and ac- 
ompanied us to London. 

I ſtaid in and about the city moſt of the winter, 
Nviſuing meetings when I was well and in health; for 
Fhro' often changing the climates, I got a ſevere cold, 


nd vas ill for ſeveral weeks, to tnat I was not at any 


meeting, which time was very tedious to me; not 
ſo much becauſe of my illneſs, as that I was depri- 
Syed of divers opportunities and meetings (Which are 


in that city every day of the week except the laſt.) 


PE When was a little got over this illneſs, I went into 


Henforcſbire, and ſome parts adjacent, and had meet- 


WE ings at Staines, Langford, Cxhridge, Halford, Hempſtead, 
== Zendiſb, Albans, Market-[treet, Fiitching, Hertford, 
Legden, and then return'd again to London. 


After I had been at London a while, I viſited ſeve- 


Leral other country meetings, as V inchmore- Hill, 
BE Tottenbam, I anſtvori h, Plaiſtoww, Deptford, and Epps 
rg, and then ſtaid about London forme weeks Waiting 
bor a paſſage for Holland, which I intended to viſic 
before I left my own habitation. | 
And on the 14th of firſt month, 1708-9, I, with 
= iy companion, John Bell, after having acquainted 
our friends and relations (having their conſent) and 
talking our ſolemn leave of them, we went down to 
BE Graveſend, and ſtaid there two or three days for a fair 
Vind. We went on board the ſhip πσm, John Dux, 
By malter, bound for Rotterdam, in company with a 
feet of veſſels waiting for wind, Sc. When the

une common ebith them to do the moſt laborious, and 
ner the lightef and eaſieſt ework, I remember that 
re ſow near Hamburgh a fair wwell-dreſſed womans 
©, by her dreſs, or appearance, Was a woman of 
ne note, and a man {avhich I took to be her busband, 
©. .ulking by her) and ſbe vas very great with child, and 
ie way difficult, being up a very ſteep hill, and he did 
ot ſo much as offer bis hand, or aſſiſtance to her; which 
Bovever it mig bi look to a man of that country, it ſeem A 


1 en frange to me, being a Briton. For my part, 
7 
riench 


bought it unmanly, as wl as unmannerly: Or 


Ber bich [ obſerve, that I never in any part of the auorld, 


Bow cou men ſo tenderly deals by as our Engliſh er Pritiſh 


omen, which they ought to value and prize highly, 
and therefore, to be the more loving and obedient to their 
ES ucands, the indulgent Engliſhmen ; evbich indulgence 
blame not, but commend, ſo far as it is a metive- t0 ſtir 


EE ber up to love and faithfulneſs. 

In this journey between Frederickſtadt and Enden, 
ve had four days hard travelling, and were twice o- 
verturned out of our waggons, but we got no harm, 
BE which was admirable to us; for once we fell waggon 
and all over a great bank, juſt by the fide of a large 
BE ditch, and did but juſt fave ourſelves out of the ditch, 
The next time we overſet.upon ſtones : we wonder- 
eld that none of us were hurt, particularly myſelf, I 
being much heavier than any of the reſt ; but thro” 


the mercy-of God, we got well to Ernbden the ſecond 
WE time, and had. a meeting upon the firſt day, and im- 
mediately after meeting, we took ſhip for Deſfxeel 
BE (which was from Enbden about nine or ten Enplife 
miles, by water) and with a fair gale of wind, got 
bhere in leſs than two hours time. We ſpoke by in- 
We tcrpretersallalong, and were divinely help*dto preach

After lodging one night at Fardwich, we came to 
eich, and from thence to Coſcheſter, and ſtaid there 
Ihe firſt day, and had two mectings; and had a 


WE meeting at Birch and Cnggeſbali, and then back to 


8 C:lchefter, where we took coach for London, to the 
F ycarly mecting of friends, which was very large. I 
rave fome ſhort account of my travels to the ſaid 
q meeting, with which friends were ſatisfied, and made 


Us CTY 


EE minute thereof. I had been about twenty months 
EE trom my habitation, and from my dear and affection- 


ate wife, and from any manner of trade and buſi- 
| neſs, either directly or indirectly, being all that time 
E wholly given up in my mind to preach the glorious 
: gol] of God our Saviour, without any outward con- 


BE keration whatever, taking my great maſter'scounſel, 
il had freely received ſrom him, ſo 1 freely gave ; and 


# 


had that ſolid peace in my labours that is of more 
value than gold, yea, than all the world. 

From the yearly meeting I travelled thro* fome 
Parts of moſt of the counties in England, and alſo in 
Wiles : in which ſervice, I laboured fervently, and 
often travelled hard, in body and mind, until the next 
yearly meeting, 1710, having travelled that year 
above.two thouſand five hundred miles, and had 
near three hundred. public meetings, in many of 
which there were much people, and oftentimes great

tt ſo many meetings, if I was to be particular in the 


fame, it would be too voluminous, for which, and 


bome reaſons beſides, I only give a general ac- 
count thereof here.

loved his dear Son; from whom ſhe had received a 
good gift of the miniſtry, and was ſerviceable to ma-

one daughter, all which I buried before her, under 
three years old, Ar the yearly meeting before ſhe

married woman about thirteen years. Her body 
was carried to friends meeting-houſe in PL iladelphia,

In Virginia I had a meeting at James's 
here a prieſt of the church of Eroland, wirh (ons 
of his hearers, made ſome oppoſition (after oy 
meeting was over) and we were for diſpatins aboy 
religion; and he openly declared, © the Spirit was 
his guide, nor rule; and he hoped, never ſhoi! 
© be. Rut, he ſaid, the ſcriptures were his rule, a0 
that there was no need of any other; and that they 
« were as plain as Gunter's line, or as 1, 2,3, 
told him, The Soriptures Were 2 good fecondayy mul, 
ard that it wvere evell if men avould ſguare their lin 
according to their directions; evhich we, as a peo, 
ex borted all to; but that the Holy Spirit, fron: zohich 11; 
holy ſcriptures came, muſt needs be preferal/e to th 
letter that came from it; and without which 'Holy 5 
ru, the letter kills, as /aith the apoſtle as 


. 
I alfo asked 
him, How he, or any elſe, without the light © influ- 
ence of the Holy Spirit, could umlerſtand the ſcripturs, 
evhich were parabolically and alegorically expreſp, 
in many. places ? And further to uſe his own expret- 
fion, How could any underſtand Gunter's line, wi 
out Gunter“ Kknoewſedrs ? Or without they wen 
taught ty Gunter, or ſome other? Neither can we be 
the ſons of God, without the Spirit of God. Which 

ne anſwered not, but went away. 
In Neo- England, one Joſeph Metcalf, a Presbyte- 
rian teacher, at Falnouth, wrote a book entitled, 
Legal forcing à maintenance for a min iſter of the on: 
pet, wvarrantable from ſcripture, &c. Which: book

ef ated, and ſaid, ““ The Lord had heard my pray ers 

er them.“ Altho' they could not by any outward 


'0t 1 BS knowledge, know that I had prayed for them, yet

with them. Yes, ſaid the reſt at the table, Mr. 
« Chalkley (as they called me) will ſurely drink the 
« king's health with us“ So they paſſed the glaſs, 
with the king's healrh, till it came to me; and when 
it came to me, they all looked ſtedtaſtly at me, to ſee 
what I would do (and I looked as ſtedfaſtly to the AI-

with him as well as any ſubject he hath , and it is 
known to thouſands that we pray for him in our

We were about twelve perſons inthe veſſel, ſmall 171 
great, and bur one piece of beef left in the barrel: 
and for ſeveral days, the wind being contr.ry, (4 
people began to murmur, and tolddifmalftorics about 
people cating one another for want of proviſion. 
and the wind being ſtil] againſt us, and for ought u. 
could fee, like to continue, they murmur'd more an 
more, and at la, againſt me in particular (becas 
the veſlel and cargo was conſign'd ro me, and wy 
under my care) ſo that my inward exerciſe was great 
about it; for neither myſelf, nor any in the veilc! 
did imagine that we ſhould be half ſo long as we were 
on the voyage: but ſince it was fo, I ſertonſly conf- 
der'd the matter; and to ſtop their murmuring, I told 
them they ſhonld not need to caſt lots (which was 
uſual in ſuch cafes) which of as ſhould die firſt, for! 
would freely offer up my life to do them good. 
One ſaid, God bleſs you, I will not cat any of you.” 
Another ſaid, “He would die before he would cr 
any of me; and ſo ſaid ſeveral. Ican truly ſay, on that 


J 


occalion, ar that time, my life was not dear to me, 

and that I was ſerious and ingenious in my propofit- 

on: and as I was leaning over the fide of the veſſel, 
thoughtfully conſidering my propoſal to the company, 
and looking in my mind to him that made me, a very 
large dolphin came up towards the top or ſur face of 
the water, and looked me in the face; and 1 Called 
the people to put a hook into the ſea, and take him, 
for here is one come to redeem\me (ſaid I ro them) 
and they put a hook into the ſea, and the fiſh rea- 
dily took it, and they caught him. He was longer 
than my ſelf: I think he was about ſix foot long, and 
the Jargeſt that ever I ſaw. This plainly ſhew'd vs 
that we ought not to diſtruſt the providence of the 
Almighty. The people were quieted by this act of 
Providence, and murmur'd no more, We caught 
enough to cat plentifully till we got into the capes of 
Delaware. Thus I ſacv it was good to depend pr tit

there being five of friends meeting-houſes in th. 
land, and our meetings were ſometimes large 41; 
open. 
Our ſtay was longer here than we at firſt expected 
by reaſon of a great drought, they having no rah 
for more than a quarter of a year, which was a great 
Hindrance to trade on the iſland. While I was thi 
time in Barbados our antient friend George Gray dic 
Twas at his funeral, at which the re were many people: 
and on this occaſion we had a large meering in ou 
meeting-houſe at Speights-foxwn, where I had a ſea 
ſonable opportunity with the people, opening to then 
the neceſſity of preparing for, and thinking of their 
latter end; and preſſed them earneſtiy thereto. The- 
were generally attentive and ſober, and ſome were 
broken into tenderneſs. While we were burying 
the friend. there appeareda diſmal cloud hanging over 
the Hand, ſuch an one as I never ſaw before it wi 
to my thinking, of the colour of the flame of brim- 
fone, and I expected there would have been a great 
ſtorm or ſome mighty guſt, and much rain, the, 


having had very little for many weeks, or ſome months; 


but it went over, and there was no rain, nor wind, 


as Iremember. Soon after ſome peoplecame in from ſea 


and they faid, that from that cloud it rained athes : 
and they bxoug ht ſome of the ſame to the iſland, ſome 
of which aſhes Þ have now before me: the taſte of 
them ſeems to me to be alittle ſulphurous, and have 
ſome glittering particles in them, in colour and {mel 
I think they differ'd little from common aſhes. Here- 
in the Almighty and infinite Being fignall y ſhew'dhis 
mercy and favour to poor mortals; for had not his 
mercy prevented, he could as eaſily have rain'd down 
the fire as the aſhes, who rained down fire and brim- 
ſtone on the cities and inhabitants of Sodom and Ge. 
morrah, for their pride and idleneſs, much of which 
abounds among the inhabitants of Barbados, the peo- 


Ne being very luxurious. Oh! may the luxuriqus in-

THOMAS CHALKLEY. gg 


We had a good paſſage, being fiye weeks and two 


ass frow Barbados to Great: Britain, in which we faw 


ers veſſels ar fea, but ſpoke with none; and after 


1 ſeht of the land, we got in two days to Beacly- 
1g 


7 nich 18 ite aguesf O 
eng, which is about fifteen leagues from the Downs 


YH or Deat: WO ſail'd along ſhore by Follſtone, where 
W © took in a pilot, and had a comfortable patlage 


W through the Downs, and up the river of Thames to 
W Coder, where I met with my gear and aged father, 
ad loving brother, filter, and coulr's, and many 
other of my near and dear relations and friends. 


: N OD 


n this voyage I wrote ſome things w hich opened 
in my mind at fea, upon that excellent ſermon of 


A 


Chriſt's upon the Mount, as is recorded in the, holy 


ſcriptures of the new teftament, in the »th, vith, 
and viith chapters of the evangeliſt Afathecy, bur 


an abler hand; and therefore it may ſafice here to 


gie the advice, which in the caurſe of my travels 


l have often had occaſion to do, that the profefiors of 
W chriftianity ſhould frequently read this ſermon, and be 
W careful to practiſe the ſame; that they may not only. 
de chriſtians in name, but indeed, and in truth. 


After viſiting my relations, and ſome meetings of 


our friends in and about London, and having finiſhed 
m/ buſineſs, being ready ro return home ward, divers 
W iriends accompanied us from Zondon to Graveſend ;\. 
and the wind not being fair, we went to Rechefter, 
ad had a meeting there; and then back to Graveſend, 
and there took a foleran farewel of our friends, re“ 
W commending one another to the gragg ot Chriſt; has 
ing this time made but little ſtay in by 


Fritain. 5 
In the fifth month, 1718, we ſail'd from the Dowpy 
in the aforeſaid now Hope, divers Friends, viz. Job 


VDanſen, Iſaac Hadwin, Jabn Oxley, Lydia Lancaſter 92

intelligence that the market was better at Antigua chan 
ar Barbados, I diſpatched my affairs, and took part 
of our cargo there, and was kindly received by our 
friends. We were about three days in our paſſage, 
and had fine weather therein At Antigua I had di-

my more weighty ſervice; for I always, through 


| divine help, made that give way co my religious duty, 


in which I ever found peace and inward ſatisfaction. 
In about five weeks I finiſhed my buſineſs in this 
i0and; having no ſmall ſatisfaction in coming to it; 
and our veſſel being now loaden, we took our ſolemn 


5 leave, and with the good wiſhes of many, departed 
for Eroland.

be noted, it appears that we not only have liberty 
labour in moderation, but we are given to under lu 
that it is our duty ſo to do. The farmer, the tra: 
man, and the merchant, do not underſta:u4 by on- 
Lord's dottrine, that they mult neglect their calling, 
or grow idle intheir buſineſs, but muſt certain work 
and be induſtrous in their caliings. We ail oughtts 
underſtand, that our hearts and minds onght to b 
out of the world, or above the nature and ſpixi d 
tt. Tis good and profitable for both ſoul and boch, 
rightly to diſtinguiſh berween earthly and heaven! 
things, and to be care ful how they mix the one with 
the other; for it is an eternal truth, that God and 
mammon cannot dwell together, or join together in 
the heart. If our love is more to God, than the 
creature, or to heaven than earth, then will he 
dwell in us, and with us; but if our love is more to 
the creature than to Chriſt, or to earth than heaven, 
then will he not dwell with us, but will leave us to 
ourſelves; for the Lord Omnipotent will not admit 
of any rival.

reſembles them in that reſpect. About the latirude 
of 33 north, our maſter, ¶arner Holt, ſeeing u 


bee porpoiſes about the ſhip, tho! he was not 


very wel, and had nor been for moſt of the voyage, 
he took his harping-iron, and {truck one of them, and 
we took him into the veel, out of which we got ele- 
ven quert bottles of oil; and we moſt of us cat 
heartily of this fiſh, which agreed with our people 
very well. They fry'd his liver for our meſs, of 
which I eat a large meal, which was well-taſted, and 
eat more like frefh beef than fiſn. I make this me- 
morandam of it, that if any ſhould take them when 
their proviſions are ſcarce, they may eat freely with- 
out danger according to our experience. When we 
had been at ſea about three weeks, being near the la- 
tirade of 40 north, and about the longitude of 42, 
tho it was in the midſt of ſummer, we ſaw an 
iſland of ice, et which we all marvelled, and judged 
that there hzd been a ſevere cold winter in thoſe la- 
titudes on the land of 4zzxrica. When we ſaw this 
i0and of ice we jadged ourſelves not far from the 
banks of Newfoundland, Hitherto we had caſy gales 
of wind, and many calms, which made our paſſage 
ſeem long to us. We ſaw two ſail of ſhips about 
thoſe latttudes, hut ſpoke with neither, being wit- 
ling to ſhun them as it was war-ilme. | 

We had in this voyage weekly meetings for wor- 
ſipping the Almighty, in which the great Lord both 
of ſca and land, was pleaſed greatly to manifeſt his 
name and truth amongſt us, for which my foul of- 
ten ſecretly andopenſy bleſſed and praiſed his divine 
ad glorious name and truth; for he bore up my 
drooping ſpirit, fo rhat I could truly fay withthe royal 
plalmiſt (nor becauſe he ſpoke it only, but alſo bein 
an experimental witneſs thereof) The floods baye lifter

On the zoth of the fourth month, 1723, my tenth 
child, named omas, died about midnight (having 
defore buricd nine.) It was ſome exerciſe to we thus 
to bury my children one after anorher ; but this did 
little mitigate my ſorrow, that q knew that could I 
have all things relating to them according to my de- 
fire; could I ſee them grow up to be ſober men and 
women, well married, have a competency in the 
world, c. yet it was ſaſer and hetter for chem, and 
they more out of danger, being taken away in their 
infancy and innocency; and fervently begg d ug the 
Almighty, that he would be pleas d togake them wway 
y hile innocent, rather than that they ſhould live to 
be vicious or unrighteous men and women, and to 
bring ſcandal on the holy name of Chriſt, and upon 
our chriſtian profeſſion; which conſide rations did 
mightily tend to ſettle and quiet my mind in my ſor- 


row ful exerciſe. The great Lord of all ſanctiſj the ſor- 


goes and aſſlictions of bis people and children, and prant 
them the fulfilling of that bleſſed portion of holy ſerip- 
ture, that all things ſpall work together for the geod 
of then that love and fear God: even fo be it, faith 
vn foul ! | 
In the Gxth month of this year I removed from 
the city into the country, to a ſmall plantation I had 
at Feanckfort, in order to be more retired, and for 


health's fake, c. finding ſome declining in my bo- 


dilytrength, which I take to be very much owing to 
the ſevere cold and hardſhips I have ſuſtained in my 
long and hard travels, more eſpecially in the wilder- 
neſs of America; for without vanity I may ſay that I 
always loved temperance, and haye been ſometimes 
zealouſly concerned to preach againſt intemperance ; 
and tho*I cannot now take ſo long journeys as I hays 
lormerly, my ſpixit _— ly travels fox the welfare

of Sion, and the peace and proſperity of ail thoſe wh, 
love, fear, and ſerve God, and believe in hie Sn. 
On the ſixth day of the eighth month, it veg 
God to give me another ſon, whom I named Ges, 
after my father, brother, nephew, and king; and 
tho* this name is now agreatname among men, | cy. 
ſider d that no name can preſerve life, ſo I gave hin 
up to the will of him who gave him to me, nd ce. 
fire, if I have no name thro* children to poltcrity, | 
may have a name in the Lamb's book of life, which 
J have ever eſteem'd far above a name amongſt men 
After my removal to thts place I was not idle, but 
viſited neighbouring meetings, and in the eight 
month T went to Shrexvsbury general meeting, wir 
there were many huudreds of people, and the truth 


declared had good impreſſion upon the mindsof many: 
' Tome after meeting, 


who were not of our ſocicty, ac- 
knowledged to the truth, and that they were glad 
they were there. In this meeting I was concernea for 
the welfare of mankind, and the exaltation of the 
holy name of the Almighty, to declare the uniyer!i! 
love of God ro man, from ſeve ral texts of holy 
{criptare, as that paſſage concerning Jacob and Han, 
and Peter and Cornelius, and ſomething concerning the 
objection made againſt us, the people called Suaber, 
that we do not acknowledge the holy ſcriptures to be 
the word of God; for tho* we believe that the ſcriptures 


came by divine inſpiration, yer we areclearlyconvinc' 


1 


by their teſtimony, and by the ſpirit of truth in our 
hearts, thatChriſtisthterernal word of God, by win 
all things were made and created, and do ſtill exiſt 
From Sbrecosbury, with divers other friends, I roce 
to Croſevicks, where on the fifth day, we had a very 
comfortable meeting, in which the antient love and 
goodneſs of our heavenly Father was with us to the 
tendering our hearts into tears of joy, forme of Us 
being likewiſe affected in remembrance of the good 
Þ61s of the Almighty to us in the meeting we had.

Creator, and the ſame love and zeal was et fred 


and warm in my heart, for the glory of hi;

all, ali my days, according to the light and ſtrength 
given to moe. : 

Our yearly meeting at Philadelphia this year wi 
large, in which our friend Benjamin Kid, {rom Ag. 
land, being with us, had good fervice, 1 cant for- 
get a concern which was upon me at this meeting, 
chat the univer ſal love of God, through Chritt, wigh 
prevail amongſt mankind, and to preis friends to ma 
nifeſt to all people the influence thereof, by their ex- 
emplary Jives and converſations. 

In the ſecond month, 1724, 1 went into New Jer 
fey as far as Shrewsbary, where, on a firſt day, we had 
= large meeting, to general ſatisfaction ; and the next 

day we had another; wherein the love and good- 
will of God, thro' Chrift, was opened freely to the 
people, and our duty to forgive one another waslarge- 
y treated of ; and it was plainly ſhewn, that without 
forgiving others, we could not be forgiven of God, 
as Chriſt faith, f ye forgive men their treſpaſſis, your 
Heavenly father will alſo forgive you: But it ye forgine 
wot men their treſpaſſes, neither «vlll your heavenly fa: 
Sher forgive your trepajjes, Matt. vi. 14, 15, Ce.

EF Afr we had reconciled ſome ditterenses at Hreauſ-

good, open meeting, and moſt of the people of that 
place were there. It was a good time, and I hope 
ile opportunity will not ſoor! be forgotten by divers 
that were there. From this place we travelled toGroſ-

opened in my mind, neither had 1been toſd any thing

W thetice we travelled to Burlington, here the monthly 


nceting of our friends had deſired that I would be 
iliſtant to help to end a difference which had happen- 
ed through miſtake, and continued for about ſeven.

divine aſſiſtance, our hearts being filled with the 
love of Chriſt, we ſo prevailed:on the differing per-

dat they ſhould live in love for the future: and friends 
Not the place greatly rejoiced at the end of that dif- 
erenee. As I went along this town, ſome friends 
old me of a religious people ſome few miles diſtant,

my great maſter called me unto, in all the time of on 
hving together: we always parted, forthe fake ofthe 
goſpel of Chrift, in pure love, and in the ſame loy: 
we always met again. | | 
Soon after this time I met with ſeveral great lofls 
by ſeaand land, and my ſelfand my little daughter were 
dangerouſly fick, to that our recovery ſeemed doubt:

gether at Cohanſie, in which the people were exlurtc

is too obvious at ſuch times as fairs; there being d.

On the 11th of fourth month I left home on a 
journey to Long-Iland, in order to viſit friends meet- 
ings, and alſo to negociate ſome buſineſs I had there; 
the firſt meeting I had was at Burlington, where I had 
occafion to adviſe them to keep in remembrance of 
that antient love which firſt united our ſociety toge- 
ther, and in which, in times of cruel perſecution, 
ſome freely offer'd to ſuffer che impriſonment of their 
bodies to obtain the liberty of their friends in con- 
nnement. From thence We travelled to Amboy, aud 
lo over to Staten-Ifland. The day being very hot, 
and the evening cold, I got a ſevere cold, which I did 
not get clear of for about two weeks, not withſtand- 
ing which, I went to meetings, tho“ ill in body. The 
firſt meeting I had on Long-Iſland, was at Fluſhing, on 
3 firſt day: a comfortable meeting it was! in which

were preſhngly exhorted to come ro Chriit, and the 
way opened unto them. It was a good time, and! 
thought a time of love to us all; tho' before the 
meeting I was exceedingly ſhut up in my ſelt, io that 
the meeting was very beneficial to me among the ref, 
to ſee how the Lord could work by his power, and

went to Heſttriry, and had a very large mectiug ona

where one prieſt Prime oppoſ d me, as he alſo had my 
friend Benjamin Kid lome ume before, of which, by 
letter, I gave an account to my dear friends E homa's 
Lie biſoct aud Benjamin Rid, deſiring them (in their 
return from New-Znpland) to have an evening meet- 
ing there. The grounds of this prick 's Cavitting, or 
düpute, was that I had declared, That ir is the light 
of Chriſt, or his ſpirit Which convinceth the world 
of fin, and not a natural light, or the light of a 
natural conſcience ; from whence he took occaſion 
to charge me with denying a natural conſcience, the 
{fifhood of which I charg'd upon him before: the au- 
ditory, and defired him, if he had any thing on his 
mind, to write it to me, to which I promis'd to re- 
turn him an anſwer. 8 | 

From Huntingdon I went to the general meeting of 
friends held at Næcutotun, which was ſo large that the 
meeting-houſe could not contam the people, and the 
vearher being extreme hot, the people without doors 
were ſome of them uneaſy, anc went to and fro; but 
thoſe that were in the houle, and ſonear as they couid 
hear, were veryattentive, and as far as I could learn, 
generally ſatisfied. Our next meeting was at New- 


erb, which was the quieteſt meeting I ever had chere; 
and thoſe few friends at New-YJorz, and ſome thar 


were there from Long-{fland, parted with us in the 


love of. Chriſt, and in the fellowſhip of his bleſſed * 


goſpel; and fo I travciled homewards, having good 
latisfaction in viſiting my friends; and when I came 
home, I found my dear wife and children in health, 
for which I bleſs God. e kW 


After this journey kept to meetings at and about 


home as uſual, and was at the firſt day meeting in 
Philadelphia, when Samuel Preſton was married. to 
Margaret Langdale (the widow of my dear friend 


and fellow-traveller, Joſab Langdale) the meeting 
was large, and the parable of rhe virgins, and the” 


bridegroom's coming at midnigur, was opened, Wü

* oncd in the text, or that command, in expreſs 
words, and water is not; and therefore we omit 
* going into outward water, and for other reaſons as 
 tolloweth. Thirdly, that water-baptiſm; Which 
vas John's, was practiſed by the apoſtles, is true; 
but ĩt was not practiſed by Chriſt, who, no doubt, 
* Youid have done it i it had been abſolutely neceſſa-

* hin {elf practiſe it, nor, as we conceive, Command-

ne holy name of God and Chriſt, that they were 
E there. | 


I ſhall end the ſecond part of the argon of * 
:d part of a 


3 above forty years, which olloweth : 


Loving ſor, Thomas Chalkley, 
A HINE dated the 11th of tenth month, 
1723, I received, and was very glad to hear 


of your welfare, and that the Lord hath given you 
children: and I pray the Almighty God that he 
may preſerve them with you, that they may be a 
comfort to you in „our latter days; and that if the 
Lord may be pleaſed to continue them with you, that 
they may, as they grow in days, grow in grace, 
and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Je- 


us Chriſt ; and that the Lord may be pleaſed to pre- 
ſerve us all to the end of thole few days we may 
have in this world, that then we may lay down our 
heads in peace and in full aſſurance of eyerlafting 

bleſſedneis for ever and evermors. | | 


*I bleſsthe Lord that he has preſerved me ſenſible 


* of his bleſſed and holy ſpirit, whereby my unde r- 
* ſtanding is indifferent clear and well, conſiderin 

| © my age, and the Lord in his great loving-kindneſs 
Ido feel to help me to my great ſatis faction, in my 


little ſervice tor him. 
* Having this opportunity by a friend of your 


| town, was willing to let you hear of our welfare 
3 "and healch Iam in as good health at preſent as T 
. hzve been for many years, and can make a ſhift to 
$ 50 over London-Bridge, and to the meeting at A. 
= wrſrate, and to the Peel-meeting, from my 

un Shad-thames.-----And the Lord hath been pleaſed. 
obe with me now ith my poor, aged condition.

In the twelfth month I went to the quarterly meet: 
ing of friends, held at Providence, for Ghefter county, 
for diſcipline and worſhip; which meeting was large, 
and a concern came upon friends at that meeting to 
ſuppreſs exceſs in cating and drinking, and great en- 
tcriainments ar marriages and funerals and ſpending 
time idly in tippling houſes ; as alſo in ſeveral other 
thingsfor the well-ordering our ſociety, in which ap- 
peared great love and unanimity. The people were 
reminded of God's love to them in this land, and 
many favours were recounted to them, which he had 
favoured che inhabitants of che land with, which were 
yery ſingular, and that he expected they ſhould bring 
forth fruits that might be anſwerable to the labours 
of love, which the Lord had beſtowed upon them. 
About this time I had it in my mind to write a 
one who was conſcientiouſly concerned to preach 
| the poſpel of Chriſt, but was under great exerciſe - 
en that occaſion. „„ e

portunity to converſe with thee perſonaliy, I take), 
way of communicating my mind, hoping in Chy;t 
thou wilt reap ſome ſatisfaction and advantage there. 
by. I think I know thou art concerned for Chyip, 
cauſe as alſo was that eminent miniſter Ab, x; 
eas inſtructed more perfefily by good Aquila and Pri- 
cilla. The ſubject on which I have it on my und 
to write to thee, is the miniſtry of the golpel of 
'Chrift Jeſus, which I believe. to be very different 
from that which it is generally taken for, in moſt par; 
of the world, by many profeſſing chriſtianity F;4 
The greateſt part of chriſtendom, ſo called, cl 
and ckect⸗ their miniſters themſel ves, and will not call 
them unleſs they have ſchool-learning, altho' Chris 
called and choſe unlearned men, as to that fort gf 
learning, and the apoſtles were called, Not aden. 
zug to the will of man, but the revelation 
Chrift feu. And Chriſt thanked his Father that 
He had revealed the myſteries of bis kingdom to bilsi 
and ſucklings. And the wiſe Fees (the Scribe; and 
Fiarifees) admired at the apoſtles, who ſo wonder- 
fully preached Chriſt, and were ſo'wonderfaily car- 
ried forth in their miniſtry, and yet few of them were 
men of learning; ſo that the call, election, and 
wages of Chriſt's miniſters, is ſpiritual, and not 
carna); and therefore their miniſtry is with divine 
life and power, by which they are qualified for thi; 
ſervice without either ſtudy or premeditation; tho! 
It is not denied, that Chriſt may ſhew a miniſter be- 
fore-hand what he ſhall, or is ro ſpeak, at ſuch : 
time or place, as he may ſee meet; but that ſtudy- 
Ing or writing ſermons, and afterwards preaching, 
or rather reading them to the people, was, or is, bie 
ractice of the true miniſters of Jeſus, our great 
rd and Mafter, is deny'd; of which, I do believe, 
thou haſt a real ſenſe. 1

THOMASCHALKLEY. 143 
As in the work of converiion, or regeneration, 
here is a growth and increaſe from the ſtate of a 
child to that of a man in Chriſt, ſo in the work of 
the miniſtry, or preaching the goſpel, there 1s alſo 
a growth from a babe to an able miniſter, in all 
which the power and grace of the holy ſpirit mult 
de our guide, our help, and ſupport, keeping 
cloſe to which, we ſhall increaſe in divine v iſdom 
and ſound judgment, and our hearts and under- 
ſtandings will be more and more opened and enlarged 
The apoſtie Paul faid, Ii hen I da child, I ſpake 
as @ child, underſtood as a child, and thought as 4 
child; and yet he was an excellent child of God, 
and miniſter of Chriſt, and as he grew in his gift, 
and Chriſt's grace, he became a wonderful ſervice- 
able inſtrument in the hand of God. Now a child's 
tate in the | miniſtry is too much over looked by ma- 
ny, ſome thinking to be men, as ſoon as they are 
brought forth into the miniſtry; and, according to 
my obervation, divers have been at a loſs, and 
ſome quite loſt, for want of a patient continuing in 
well-doing, and not waiting to feel a growth and 
increaſe from above, have gone on in their own 
ſtreugth and will, perhaps againſt the advice and 
inſtruction of a ſound and hovelt Aguila and Prif- 
ills, and have been hurt: and ſome, who had re- 
ceived a gift, have had that ſame gift taken from 
them even by the Lord who gave it them, | 
As ILtake it, a true miniſter of Chriſt, is to take 
no thought what to ſay, but it will be given him in 
the ſame hour that which he ſhould peak to the 
people (that is, in a general way) and if it is not 
given from above, I belicve he or ſhe ought to be 
lent; for they receive freely, if they do receive any 
ting trom Chriſt, and ſo they ought freely to ad- 
nimter; and were little is given, little is required, 
al whit is plain from Chriſt's own words in the 
AW tellament : and Chriſt's croſs is to be taken

up by his miniſters in their preaching, as well xj,

It. is a practice which the holy ſcriptures hae 
not acquainted us with, that the miniſters of Chr 
ſhould take a verſe, or a line, out of the holy fois. 
tures, and write, or ſtudy, before-hand, a diſcoueſ. 
on it, and preach it, or rather read it, to the pegyle 
The holy men of old (as we read both in the old ay 
new teſtament ) ſpoke as they were moved by 


Eonvincing, converting, and reforming the world, 


contrary to the latter practice of modern. reading di- 
vines, who diſpute, write, and preach, again# the 
immediate and divine revelation of the ſpirit of 
Chrift, and therefore cannot be of his miniſter, 
but muſt be the miniſters of Antichriſt, and mini- 
ſters of the letter, and not of the ſpirit of Chrif, 
or of his goſpel. And where the apoſtle ſays, I ben 
cas a child, I pate as a child, I take him to 


„ point at the being brought forth newly into the work 


of the miniſtry, as well as the work of converſion, 


„ and thar he uſeth them expreſſions by way of com- 


pariſon, and therefore I compare it thus: a child 


but a few words, and thoſe ſtammering ſometimes, 
and its judgment is weak, and muſt be put upon

thus according to my obſervation, it hath pleaſed 
our heavenly Father to inſtruct his children in ie 
miniſtry, and as a child in Chriſt, I would ſpeak « 
little of my experience unto a child, or children 
of God. When ] ö firſt felt a neceſſity on me to 


preach the goſpel, 1 had but a few ſentences to de- 
liver, in great fear and tenderneſs, with ſome 
trembling,

trembling, with which my brethren were generally 
{risfied and edified: and after ſome time 1 felt # 
concern to preach the goſpel in other countries, and 
to other nations (than that in which I was born) 
which to me vas a very great croſs; but feeling rhe 
woe of the Lord to follow me in not giving up to 
it, I in ſome time took that croſs up, for Chriſt's 
ſake and the goſpel's: and in taking it up, 1 ex- 
<rienced the truth of the apoſtle's doctrine, That 


the poſpel of Chrift is the poxver of God wnto falva- 


tion, to every one that believeth, Rom. 1. 16. Thus 
thro a continual labour and ſpiritual travel, I wit- 
neſled a growth in experience, and an enlargement 
in expreſſions and heavenly doctrine ; and my heart 


vas mightily enlarged to run the ways of God's 


commandments, and divers were convinced, and 
ſome, I hope, thoroughly converted, and many com- 
forted, and God thro' the miniſtry of his dear Son, 
glorified, who is thereof only worthy for ever. 

In all which I have nothing to boaſt of nor glory in 
ſaving in the croſs of Chriſt; for what is Paul or A.- 
pollos, or Cephas, but Inſtruments ? (I would not be un- 
derſtood to compare v ith thoſe apoſtles, but to endea- 
your to follow them as they followed Chriſt) Chrift 
is all in all: he is the great teacher of teachers, 
and the higheſt ſchoolmaſter of all: and he ſays, He 
that will be my diſciple, muſ? fr/? deny himiſelf, and take uf 
bis criſs, and folloua me. | 

We do not find any where in the new. teſtament, 
that Chriſt's miniſters or meſſengers were only to 
ſpeak or preach to one meeting of people, or that they 


were call'd or hired by man; for then it would have 


been neceſſary man ſhould pay them; but Chriſt ſays, 


Freely you have received, freely give; and go forth, &c. 


Matth. xxviti. 19. 20. | 
And, my friend, I find to this day, that it is ſafe 


for me when I am miniſtring to the people, when

In the firſt month, the general meeting at Phi- 
hin was a ſolid good meeting, and ended in a 

gente of grace and truth, Which comes by Jeſus” 
Crit Next day, being our week day mecting, our 
bear friends, Higabeth Levis and Fare Fenn, took 
kae of us, they lorending for che land of Baxha- 
4, ; and it was ſuch a parting meeting that will not 
ben be forgotten by ſome of us then preſent. 
F Afr this meeting I went to Burlington, to viſit one: 
dat was ſick, and under ſome trouble of mind for 
going aftray, and greatly geſiredto come intothe right 
E way, with whom I had a good, ſcalunable meeting, 
0 her comfort, and my Own ſatisfaction... Upon this 
wir J would remark,, that it is a great pity, that 
youth, when in health and ſtrength, ſhould put 3 
the workof their ſal vation, and forget the maſt Rig] 
ill either ſickneſs or death overtake them. And then 
| Oh! the bitte rpiereing cries and groans, and terrible 
zronics the foul is in, which, by timely repentance, 
ad amendment of life, might be ayaided. :. ..

ad aid, © He thanked me for my adyice and c oun- 
FE « ſel;“ and ſeem'd heartily affected with the doctrine 
ot Chriſt, From (Feorge"s-creek we travelled to Not- 
„bam, and had a large meeting on a firſt day, 
ind another (very large) on the ſecond day, where 
E pore many people of divers perſuaſions. The houſe 
| cond not contain us, ſo that we met in an orchard. 
A {olid meeting it was! wherein the mighty power of 
ne Creator was deciar'd of, as alſo rhe divinity of 
Cyriſt, and his manhood, and people were exhorted 
o be careful of forming any perſonal ideas of the 
Almighty; for the holy icriptures do plainly maniteſt, 
that God is a wonderful, infinite, eternal Spirit, and 
therefore is to be worſhipped in ſpirit and in truth, 
and out ward repreſentations ofthe Lord Jehovah, bor- 
ders too much on idolatry. Pretty much was deliver- 
ed on that head; and I was told after meeting that 
| civers Papiſts were there, tho' I knew nothing of it. 
From Nottingham I went to Newcaſtle, had a meeting 
mere, and then viſited a ſick friend, with which he 
expreſſed much ſatisfaction ; and then went on to the 
enter, Kennet, and Marlborough, and fo to the month- 
h meeting at Ney - garden, where we hadalarge, open 
meeting, wherein was ſlie wn, thatthoſe whomeddled 
vith our diſcipline, in the will, nature, ſpirit, and 
viſdom of man only, could do but little ſervice, 
and that our diſcipline, as alſo our worſhip and mini- 
Airy, ought to be performed in the wiſdom and pow- 
er of God, thro' the grace and ſpirit of Chriſt— 
From Neww-garden we went to Birmingham, had a large 


| wiom many were there: from Birmingham, we went 
do the quarterly meeting for diſcipline and worſhi 
at Concord in Chefter-county, which was larger than 
bad ever ſen there before. In the quarterly meetin® 


| of diſcipline, friends were exhorted to keep to the

About the latter end of the fourth month I was af 
i meeting at Abington, occaſioned by a burial ; and 
in the beginning of the fifth month, I was at a mar- 
rage in Philadelphia ; and was ſoon after on the firſt 
day at too meetings art Germantown, where I went to 
viſit a friend who had not for ſome months been at 
meeting, being in a diſconſolate condition; I invited 
her to meeting, where the love and goodneſs of 
Chriſt to rhe poor in ſpirit was largely manifeſted, 
and the friend after mecting ſaid, flte.was better, and 
afterwards recovered, and kept to meetings. I was 
frequently at the week day meetings at Philadelphia; 
for | thought that week not well ſpent, in which 1 
could not get to week day mectings, if I was is 
heaith. | 3 
In this month I was at the burial of George Calvert, 
who was one of ſober life, and juſt converſacion, 
and being well: beloved by his neighbours, he lefc a 
good report behind him. Soon after which I was at 
Merion meeting, which was large and folid : the 
people were tenderly exhorted, that neither outward 
f:yours, nor ſpiritual bleſſings, might make them 
grow forgerful of God; but that in the ſenſe of rhe 
acreaſe and enjoy ment thereof, they might be the 
more humble; and foraſmuch as the chriſtian church 
in former ages was corrupted by temporal riches and 
power, it was intimated, that as we had favour ſhewn 
vs from the government, and increaſe of outward 
things, we ſhould be very caretul not to abuſe 
ole privileges, by growing proud, and wanton, 
or envious, and quarrelſome; bur To do juſtly, lows. 
mercy, and <wals humbly with God. | 
In this month I was at Midaletocun in Bucks county, 
at the burial of my dear and intimate friend Jahn 
Rutledge (who died very ſaddenly ) at which burial 
there were above 1000 people: he was well-beloyed 
among his neighbours, and was a ſerviceable man 
here he lived ; I admired to ice ſugh a number of

keep cloſe to Curiſt, their holy, ſure guide, and 
viſhop, to becautious of going before, leſt they ſhould 
miſs their ways. and of ftaying too far behind, for 
ar we ſhould loſe our guide; and to be careful to 
keep 4 conſcience void. of. offence towards God, and ale, 
jovards man; that we 1 7 ſay to the people truly, 
Fullow #s, as cue follow Chrift; that our converſation 
might confirm and not contradict our doctrine, for 
our Saviour ſays; By their fruits ye ſnall knog them 3 
men do not gathen grapes off thorns, &c. and of ſuch 
3 ay and do not, he charged his followers not to be 
like them, Matt b. ».x111, 3.: The next day we had 
another very large meeting there, in which many? 
things were opened and declared, tending to eſtabliſh 
and build us up an our faith in Chriſt. After this meet- 
ing parting with my friend ohn Cadewallader, wha. 
had accompanied me, I came homeward, lodging that, 


lugt at Morris Morris's (whoſe wife was very weak

» The zgth of the fifth month I was at the general 
meeting at Germantown, which was a large and good 


meeung; goinghomel wentro ſee. Richard Buzby, who 


was not well; he ſaid the company of his friends re- 
vired him. Next day I went to viſit ane Breintnall 
#ho was ſeized with the dead-palſy on one fide, and 
tne Lord was pleaſed to. comfort us together, as ſhe 
expreſſed, to our mutual fatisfaction, | 6 
On the zoth of the ſaid month was aur quarterly: 
meeting of miniſters at Philadelpbia, where humble 
walking with God was recommended and pray'd for, 
and it was defired that miniſters might be exemplary, 
therein, having Chriſt for their pattern. e 
On the iſt of tlie ſixth month, I Was at our mect=

Therefore let not chriſtians be ſlow of heart to be-

The 16th' of fixth month, I was at a weekly-meet-

THOMAS CHATKLEY. 61 


Cuil county, in Maryland, where we met with two 


bre! friends from Rhode-iſland, and two from P ennſyloanias 
as 2t who were there on the like occasion. The 
peak meeting was large and quiet, many people being 
$ Wa chere not of our ſociety, and were very ſober: the 
ted meeting held ſeveral days, wherein the goſpel dif- 
ence penſation was ſet forth, and the love of God in Chriſt 
and «23 exalted. From Cecil we went to Cheſter river, 
l0iy and had a meeting there, at which the people were 
2 by exhorted to come to Chrift, the eternal rock, and 
the true foundation, and to build their religion on him, 
nity againſt whom the gates of hell can never prevail; 
that and they were fo much affected, that they did not ſeem 
elt for ward to leave the houſe after the meeting was over. 
oly From Chefer river we went to Tread-haver, tothe ge- 
2h, neral· wecting of friends for Maryland, which was 
5 very large; ſome friends from Penrſylvania and Vir- 
nat ein being al ſo there, and many people of other ſoci- 
110, ces: many teſtimonies were borne to the opera- 
Ice non of Chrift by his ſpirit in the foul, and friends 
(0 F were earneſtly deſired to be diligent in reading 
Of the holy Criptures, and to keep up the practice 
1h of our wholſome diſcipline ; by rhe neglect of 
\'- MF which, a deor would be opened to loofe living, 
nad undue liberties. From Tread-haven we tra- 
te | velled into the Great-foreff, between the bays of Che- 


„Heal and Delaware, and had a ſatisfactory meeting; 


at as yetthere was no public meeting houſe in this place, 
15 uberefore I told the people of the houſe, Iwas obli- 
ee to them for the uſe of it ; but they renderly an- 
2$ | ivered they were more obliged to me for my kind 
8 niting of them; and truly we had a ſolid, good 
lc meeting there: the people being generally poor, 
I they had but little notice taken of them by the mo- 
h ncy-loving teachers, who preach for hire. From 
's tic Foreſt 1 went to Little-creek, in the territories of 
c Pemylvania; where was a general-meeting for the 
; buntes of Newcafle, Kent, and Sufſex, The meet-

meeting was large, and friends parted in great lo: 


and tenderneſs. And I went for ward to Duck-crgb 
where we had a meeting; divers perſons of yg. 
being there, and all were quiet, and heard ith 2. 
tentian, From Duck-creek I went to George S cel 
and had a meeting; where a man of a ſober conver. 
ſation, ſaid, that he never heard things ſo ſpoken iu 
before; but that he could witneſs co the truth of of 
that was ſaid. Ir was a good meeting before dhe 
concluſion; but I was very low and poor in my ri 
in the beginning of it, From this place we ſet for- 
ward to Newcaſtle, whiere we had a meeting; it wa 
the time of the ſitting of the general all:mbly, and 
ſeveral, members of the houſe were at meeting; 
the governor (who has from our firſt acquaintance 

een very reſpectful to me) hearing that I was il 
town, ſent to deſire me to tarry all night in News: 

le; but being engaged to a meeting over the rivers 
Cbriſtine and Brandywine, and it being near night, 
I could not ſtay, but went away that evening, and 
ſent my. love to him, deſiring to be excuſed, That 
night I lodged at John Richardſon's and next day 
went to George Robinſon's, at Newark, where we had 
a meeting on the firft day, and on ſccond day 
another at Providence; and went from thence 0 
Darby to viſit our worthy aged friend Thomas Light- 
for, Who lay very weak in body, none expecting his 
recovery; I called as I went. from home, and then 


- he was very ill, and told me, He thought rhatillack 


would conclude his time in this world, but aid that 


all was well, and likewiſe that he had a greatconcern 
upon his mind for the growth and proſperity ot 


truth in the earth, and defired with tenderneß of 
ſpirit, chat I would give his dear love to all friends; 
and he now ſaid, I never thought to {ec thee more, 
but am glad to ſee thee.” 1 ftaid there all nig 
and in the morning we had a comfortable heart: melt-

ed if we never met more in this world, we mighr

my dear wife and children wich open hearts and 
arms received me, and I them with joy, at which 
ime I had a gracious reward of peace for my 
labour of love, which far exceeded ſilver or gold. 
[athis journey ] travelled above three hundred miles,

three weeks, in which time I recovered of my lame

Aker my return home, I was at the general-

On the fifth day of this month in the morning,

In this month, I was at the funeral of our worthy 
antient friend, Thom Lizhttoot. He wa. 15 55

ſeen at that place. Our dear friend s ee 5 
loved for his piety and virtue, his ſwee: (i; FO 
and lively miniſtry: the Lord was With Tt ons. 
life and death, and with us at his buria! 1 1 

After this burial, I was at one at ingten: hi 
meeting was large, and, on that occaſion, Cre 
things ſuitable to the Rates of the people were fen.

1 WAS alſo about this time ar Germantoton, and it 
n at Plymouth, to my great ſatisfaction 

cing accompanied by my antient frier d Roland . 
tis ; and at the third day meeting in / delpbia, a 
the time of our fall fair, there were fervent defirey 
and prayers, in ſeveral of us, that the yourh might be 
preſerved from the evils too prevalent at ſuch ing 
of liberty and profineneſs. 

About the 2oth of the month I' went for Tonsil 
being drawn in true love to make a general viſit 1 
friends there; and likewiſe having ſame buſinel, to 
tranſact there, On the fifth day of the week, Tha.

evening we got to a friends houſe near the fille of 
Delaware, where we were kindly cntcrtained, and 

ur horſes taken good care of; to take due care of 
travellers horſes is a commendable thing ; and 
more grateful to ſome travellers, than to take care of 
themſelves. From the Falls of Delaware, we travel 
led next day to Piſcattaway, and lodged at an inn; 
and on the next day we went to //oodbridoe, to pin 
Kinfy's, and on firſtalay we had a ſatisfactor / mect-

John Kinſey went with us to Long- ind, and that 
night got to 7h Rodman's, and next day we rated, 
being weary with travelling fo far in the cold. Our

wired my. viſit to them; ſo that I had occaſion to 


remember that ſaying of the holy ſcripture, As 
ron ſharpneth iron, ſo doth the countenance of a man his 


friend ! : 

The fifth day of the week we had a large meet= 
ing at Fluſvirg, and another in the evening at Obedi- 
ah Lawrence's, which was an open, tender time. 
From Fluſhing we went to Cow-neck, to Foſeph Law 
than's, who went with me to Heftoury meeting, 
which (conſidering the cold) was much larger than E 
expected from Weſtbury, Nathaniel Simmons, Samu- 
4] Underbill, and Phebe Millet, went with us ro Beth- 
tage; where we had a comfortable evening: meeting 
at the houſe of Thomas Powell, who went with us next 
morning to a town called Sezawket; it was as cold a 
day's travel as ever I went thro? in all my life; the 
wind vas in our faces and northerly; 1 do not 
remember (though I had beerra traveller above thirty 


years) that ever I endured ſo much hardneſs by cold 


in one day ; my chin and jaws were much affected 
with the froſt for ſeveral days; but we had a good 
meeting that made up for all. After which we went 
ten miles to Ames Hllet's houſe, where we had a 
ſerviceable meeting : he invited bis neighbours, 
who came and received us with hearts full of good- 
vill, and thoſe not of our ſociety, were well ſatisfied 
vith the meeting, ſo that we went on our way re- 
picing, that we were favoured withthe good preſence 
of God in our journey. Amos Willet and his wife 
went With us to Huntington, where we had a quiet, 
peaceable meeting, and the grace of our Lord ſeſus 
Chriſt was ith and among us, as many can witneſs 
ther were there From hence we went to Samuel Un- 
dernill's, and viſned his weak brother; in which viſit 
the Lord mighiily refreſhed us together, and e bleſ- 
da his holy name, for be is good to all them who put 
ear traff in bim. Next day we had a large meeting

meeting in the evening ar Samuel Harriſon 5, and on the 
morrow had an evening meeting at a2 place called 
the Kills, ar the houſe of Richard Halle, and the 


bert day beirg firſt day, had « large meeting at 


N-eztorun, to the edification of friends and other ſo- 


der people. | | 
1 befng now generally known that I was on the 


| land, the people lock'd to meetings, tho“ the wea- 


ther was extream cold, for the Lord manifeſted him- 
ſell in the riches of his love unto us in our meetings 


| for the worſhip of his holy name. The next meet- 


ing was at Fames Jackſon's, at Rocky-hill, where was 


| judge Hicks, the high ſheriff, and a juſtice of peace, 


with ſeveral other perſons of note, with whom and 


| our friends, we had a good time to ſet forth the 
| workof grace and reformation (as I think) to gene- 
ral ſatisfact ion, for which we bleſſed the holy name 
| of God, and humble prayer was put up to him for all 


men and par ĩcularly for our king George, as alſo for 


all in authority under him, and that they might be n 


error to cvil doers, and the praiſe of them that do 
nell. The next meeting we had, was at Jamaica, 


| which was alfo large, and ſeveral in authority were 
| there, and were very loving and reſpectful after meet- 
ing. The next firſt day we had a large meeting at the 


meeting-houſe at Gow-neck, which was ſomewhar 


crouded. I was right glad (tho' my exerciſes were 
eery great)that there was ſuch openneſsand room in 

peoples hearts to receive the doctrine which I had to 
eeclare unto them, in the name and power of Chrift; 


ter wards we had an evening meeting with the wi- 


| «Or Titus, to which divers Dutch people came, and 
| were very attentive and ſober, Onthe zd of the week 
ve had a meeting near the place called He!l-gate (a | 


arrow paſſage in the great ſound or bay, between 


lag iſtund and the main land) ſeveral juſtices and

port her ſoul by his grace and ſpirit, and ſarctif hes

in the evening we had a meeting with che wife oH 
Leco Farrington, who was too weakly to go abroad; 
the neighbours'came in, and we had a ſeaſonable 0z- 
portunity. The next third day was the youths mcetirg

obedience'to God and their parents, and to {clloy 
their parents as they follow Chrift ; for wher any 


leave Chriſt, there we are to leave their example,

kezrts, and tho" I think I never felt it colder I never 
had my health better. Several friends accompanied 
us to the boat at Neu- Jorb, the water being open on 
chat fide, we took our leave of each other, and put 
out for the other ſhore; but before we got there, we 
were blocked up in the ice, and it was a conſiderable

Fr company; who thro* ſome difficulty got o

form of wind and ſnow, but the wind being high 
we could not get over that night, nor the next day, 
the ice having come down, and filled the bay: when 
the tide bad drove away the ice, we put out, and gor 
well over, and lodged at the ferry-houſe on Staten- 
ilars, Next morning we went to the ferry at the Bla- 


- zinp-Stav; over againſt M oodbridge, but it was all 


ſaltened with ĩce; and we not daring to venture over 
it, went to the ferry at Amboy, and got comfortably 
over, and ſtaid there that night, and next day went to 
Trenton, and lodg'd at capt; Gould's, whotreated me ve- 
ry kindly, I being much tired with travelling. Next 
morning I went over Delaware river on the ice (as 
ive had alſo the day before at Rariton) and that day, 
being the 5th of twelfth month, I got ſafe home to 
my loving ſpouſe and tender children, where I found 


al well, and a hearty reception, having travelled 


bos miles, and attended above 60 meetings. 
After having been at home, and at our own meet=

Philadelphia, where friends were glad to ſee me.

was as foilowerh. = 


Franlfort, 12th month, 1925-6. 


My dear ard well beloved friends, | | 

ELIEVING it might be acceptable to voy tg 

hear that I was got well to my babitation in 

tuch a difficult time of the year as I fer our from cu 

in; and alſo feeling the ſweer influence of the divine 

love of the heavenly Father, and his dear Son our 

Lord Jeſus Chriſt, to arife and ſpring in my heart, 
and flowing towards you : | 

It came into my mind to write a few lines to the 

quarterly-meerting of friends at #lufinz, b way of 


epiſtle, well knowing alſo that many of us are 


as epiſiles writ in one anothers hearts by the heaven: 
Is finger of the Moſt High; and thoſe characters of 
divine love ſo written willnoteaſily be eraſed. Icould 
Willingly have been at your quarterly meeting, but 
that I had been ſo long from my family, that I was 
much wanted therein, and my coming home was 
ſeaſonable and acceptable, both to them and my 
friends; and I humbly thank the Lord, 1 found 
all. well. Now that which is on my mind to your 
quarterly- meeting, is aftez? this manner, concerning 
the government of rhe church of Chriſt, of which 
church he is the holy head and lawgiver, where- 
fore we are to ſeek and wait for couuſel and wil 
dom from him, in all our monthly aud quarterly- 
meetings, for the well ordering of our little ſociety, 
which is growing and increafing ia the earth, and 
alſo in your iſland (notwithſtanding the iayidious 
attempts of ſome men of corrupt minds) and it will 
grow and increaſe more and more, as we keep gur 
places, our heavenly-places in Chriſt ſeſus. 
Dear friends, the good order of truth, and ge- 
vernment of Chriſt and his church, is a great help

fyirit [pray obſerve or wind that] for if our order, 
and church: government, be carried on iu the ſpirit 
of man (as he is meer man) tho” he is never fo 
crafty, or cunning, it will do more. hurt than good 
in the church of Chriſt. Chriſt's ſpi: it muſt go» 
vern Chriſt's church; and When, and where, that 
ö over all, then, and there, Carift's church, and 
kingdom, is exalted, of whoſe kingdom and peace 
there will be no end; and happy. will all thoſe 
be, whoſe end is in it. Hoſes, that man of God, 
governed in the Jeqviſh church in the ſpirit of God, 


and when he tound the work too heavy for him, 


the Lord put his ſpirit on ſeventy more, who were 
help-meets in the government; ſo that it was 
God's ſpirit that governed; and while that ru- 
led them, all was well; but when they went from 
that, they fell into error and diſobedience ; and, 
at length, the Meſſiah came, and he governed his 
on little flock himſelf: and when he aſcended up 
on high, he promiſed his ſpirit ſhould be with, and 
in his church, for ever, and be their holy guide into 
al truth, in which he would alſo comfort them: 
and Chriſt fulfilled this his promiſe ; for when his 
diſciples waited at Jeruſalem to be endued with 
power from on high, according to the advice of 
their Lord, they were filled with the gift and grace 
of the Holy Spirit; and when the brethren and ek 
ders met together about the affairs and govern- 
ment of the church, they gave forth rules and or- 
ders from thar general meeting to the particular 
ones; and the Holy Ghoft precided amongſt them, 
which they fignified to their other meetings, ſaying, 
lt ſeemed good to the Holy Ghoſt, and to us, to put 
u in mind of ſuch and ſuch things, And while 
this Holy Ghoſt, or ſpirit, governed in the primi- 
ave chriſtian church, all was well; God and Chrilt 


., and his church and people edified; 
Ft by going from that, che apoſtacy came in.

After my ſervice on Tong-ifland, I had great 
ſweetne s upon my ſpirit for ſome time, which ſome- 
times cauſed my heart to fing for joy; and yet I 


rejoiced in a trembling frame of ſpirit, and had ths 


true ſenſe of what is written in the holy ſcriptures, 
where it is ſaid, Serve the Lord with fear (I take it, 
filial fear) and rejoice with trembling, for fear of Io» 
fine that precious ſenſe of the love of God, which is iy 
Chriſt, V 1 

00 the zoth of the twelfth month (the firſt day 
of the week) I was at Abington meeting, in which. 
the love of Chriſt was manifeſted to us, in the open- 
ing of his. ſaying, If I be lifted up, I will draw all 
men unto me, ſohn xjt. 2. Next day I was at 
Germantown, at the burial of a fon of Dennis Cunrad, 
at which alſo was our friend higail Bowles. On the 
ſicth day following, I went ro the general-meering af 
miniſters and elders at Burlington, where I again met 
' Vith our ſaid friend and many others: the firſt day 
meeting was large; and on ſecond day was the 
quarterly- meeting for the county; and third day 
was their youths- meeting, which was large, and ma- 
ny weighty truths were delivered in that meeting. 
On fourth day we were at a _— at Spring field; 
je houſe was pretty much thronged, and friends

The 15th day of this month I was at Hurlin gion at 
the hurial of my good friend and old acquaintance 
ſeabam Pickley, at whole funeral were reat num- 

bers of people, he being well-beloved of his neigh- 

hours: Chriſt's raiſing Lazarus out of the 15 and 
his tender neſs and weeping there, was ſpoken of, in 
order to ſtir people up to a tender, religious exerciſe 
of mind which is too much wanting among many of 
the profeſſors of his holy name, who have too little 
ſenſe of that which ſhould bring true tendernefs over 
their minds, being more in earth than in heaven; ſo 
that they are dry and barren, as to the things of 
| God. The meeting ended (to ſatisfaction) with ſup- 
plications to che. A Ii ne ce 

A few days after, I was at our general ſpring- 
meeting in Philadelphia, which was large; where our 
| friends Robert Jordan and Abigail Bowles had good 
%% ro. N 
. This week I was at four very large meetings, at 
Philadeſpbia, Frankfort, and Abington, much to my 
| ſatisfaction, tho" I had no vocal ſervice therein; yet

that were borne by good and living miniſters, qualihed

In the fourth month I left my family, and went 
tk in the woods as far as Ole). I was from home 
nie days, travelled about one hundred and fifty 
miles, and had fix meetings at Oley, Perkiomen, and 
"*ivers other places, chiefly in barns and open places, 
there being large companies of people, and few meet- 
ing-houſes yet built in thoſe parts of the country. In 
this journey I ſuffered pretty much thro* the heat--- 
The fir meeting was at the iron Works ſettled a little 
beyond a place called Mount-miſery; I was concerned 
for thoſe people, having heard of their rude doings 
before I left my habitation; and altho* ſome were 
rade, others behaved themſelves ſoberly, and expreſ- 
ſed their thankfulneis for that viſitation, as I do for 
the opportunity I had of clearing myſelf to them. 
Dn my return homewares I croſs'd Schuylkill, and 
went to Samuel Nitt's iron-works, where I bad a 
large, quiet, ſolid mecting : and the next day I call'd 
5 ſee my old friend David Meredith, who being about 

9 years of age, I thought it probable I might not 
have another opportunity of ſecing him. He met me 
with gladneſs, and told me, It was their mesting- 
day; ſo that I Raid, and was much comforted and 
tendered by the power of Chriſt; after which L

On the next firſt day, after my return, I went to 
Philadelphia, and, 'after the afternoon meeting, to 
Darly, and from thence to a yearly meeting in Chef 
er county, held at Geſben; tho“ the ſeaſon was wet, 
this was a large good meeting; at which there were 
three young men, who were latelycalled ro the work 
b the minittry, whom I was glad to hear declare the 


ruth in the power and ſimplicity of the goſpel of 


Chritt, being of the mind of Avo/es, when he ſaid, in 
anſwer to Jona, Would God that all the Lord's peo-

On the 22d of the fourth month, I went to th 
marriage of Jobn Lee's daughter at S>rinogetd, jr 
Chefer county: the meeting was large, and I was cn. 
cerned to ſpeak moſti y to the young people, 2dvifing 
them to ſeek the Lord in that great affair of murriade 
that they be careful how and on whom :licy (er thi 
affections, and not to draw our one another minds is 


theydid not ir tend an honourable marriage ʒand remis. 


ing them of the ill tendency of courting teveral a 
time, or ſutfering ſeveral to court at once, and that they 
be chafte and true in their proceedings duly regart- 
ing the ad vice of the apoſtle, Bo no: an yoked f for 
ro be ſure all ſuch marriages are unequal, hen tho 
who marry are of different principles in religion. 
The meeting ended with render ſapplicarion for pre- 
ſervattonthrough whatever exerciſes, further troubles 
or trials, temptatioris, or afflictions, we might meet 
with in the world, that we might end well at lad, 
and live for ever to pratſe and glorify God and the 
Lamb, who, thro' the holy eternal ſpiric, is worthy 
forever. | 

On the receipt of the laſt letter from my dear f:- 
ther, which I ſome time ſince mentioned, I was appre- 
henſive it might be his laſt, which ir proved to be; for 
the next letter from my dear brother gave me intel- 


ligence of his death, which I received the 25th ofthe 


fourth mon h this year. The news of my dear 
father's deceaſe took fuch hold on my mind (tho'l 
daily expected it) that for ſome time was Hard! loct- 
able Oh how have I been ſomerimes comforted in h 
loving and tender epiftles ! At the receipt of u hich 


I have cry'd to the Lord, that, if it pleaſed bim, 


might have a double portion of the ſpirit which he 
gave to my father: but OI Now I mutt never hear 
more from him in this world; yet in this I have lone 
Inward comfort, that I hope we ſhall meet where ue

lectionate brother's account of my father's death 


and burial. 
Earenion, 251h of 1f inonth, 15726. 


Dear brothor, ; | 
ls comes with the forrowſul aceount of 


our dear father's deceaſe, who departed this 
the 7th inſt, after having been indiſpoſed about 


( 
Fits 


ea fortnight.---I have herewith ſent a particular ac- 


count of ſome remarkable paſlages, and his laſt ex- 
preſſions in his ſickneſs; that part relating to his 
convince ment, he de ſired ſhould be commited to 
( yriting, which J have done, and ſent it to tlice. 

(1 was with him ſeveral times in his laſt illneſa, and 
(moſt of the two laſt days of his life as thou mayit 
i perceive by the contents Our worthy father was 
(honourably buried on the 11th inft. being carried 
from his own houſe to the meeting-houſe at Hoxſſo- 
' azz, accompanied with his relations, where was a 
large meeting of many people, as many as the meet- 
ing houſe could well contain, and many teſtimonies 
ere there borne to the innocent, exemplary life, 
integrity and honeſt zeal of our dear father, ſo con- 
(current and unanimous, that I have hardly known 


any ſuch occaſion more remarkable : he was ac- 


companied from thence to the grave very ſolemnly, 
and there in like manner interred, where a further 
' teffimony was given to his honeſt life and conver- 
„ation, and lively zeal for the holy truth, whereof 
he made profeſſion. x | | 
Dear Brother, tho" it be a ſcrrowful occaſion 
cf writing, yet herein we may be comforted, in 


eanſde ration that our father went to his grave in 


| Peace in a good old age : he had his underſtanding 
4nd memory to the laſt in a wonderful manner. I be- 
lere (s] have ſometimes ſaid) that he embraced 
cd as joy fully asever he did any happy accident 
al lus life : I remember one paſtage of his chearful

received of friends: divers other journies and travels 
he performed not here noted, but this journey into 
another nation at 75 years of age, ſhews his age had 
not quenched his love and zeal for his Lord's work 
and ſervice, : | : 

In our father's old-age he was attended with 
yery great exerciſes: about the 77th year of his 
age; as he was atlifting his men in the dusk of the 
evening, he miſſed his footing, and fell down, and 
broke his leg; and ſoon after his leg was well, 
he met with another accident by a fall which diſ- 
abled him, and made him lame to his death, never 
recovering the hurt he had by that fall which was 
after this manner; he was ſitting in a chair by his 
door on a plank, which not being ſer taft, it fell, 
and he, to fave himſelt from the ſtroke of the plank, 
fell with his hip on the ſtones, and got hurt ex- 
ceedingly, notwithſtanding he was remarkable for 
his activity; he would walk (tho* fo aged, and alſo 
lame) as far as the I ork-houſe, Devonſbire-bouſe, 
and Bull and Mouth meetings [two or three miles 
from home] The laſt bad accident tliat befel him, 


was ahout three weeks before his death, when 


being walking in the timber-yard, a fingle plank, 
which ſtood againft a pile fell down, and ſtriking 
him on the fide, threw him down ; he complained 
not much of the blow till about a week after, when 
he was taken with a violent pain in his fide, on the 
very place where he received the ſtroke, and, 
when his cough took him ( with which he was often 
troubled) the pain was very great; howbeit ; thro” 


means of a fear cloth he received ſome caſe, and 


he pain of his fide abated, and rhe cough went off ; 


but a violent flux followedd, an it brought him very 


low, and extream weak ſo that it was thought he 
could not continue long; upon which notice was ſent 
ome, andI went to ſee him, and fourd him very low; 
but he revived, and changed often in this laſt illneſs :

4H would be high-water about 3 a clock in the after-

To which account J ſhall add the following thort 
teſtimony concerning my dear and greatly bcloyed 
father, George Challey, viz. | | 

I have a great deal in my heart, more than | 
can write concerning my dear father's life, it ha- 
ving been a wonderful life to me from my youth 
up; his early care of me, and counſci to me, 
when was too thoughtleſs and wild, melts me in- 
to tears now in the remembrance of it , and ny 
tender mother was a partner with him in the fame 
exerciſe, and ſhe died in like peace: the laſt words 
I heard her ſpeak, were, I long to be difſolced. . And 
as to my tender father, I would recorda little brief: 
ly in memory of him, that he was, | 

Iſt, A true and faithful ſervant of Chriſt. 

2d, A tender and affectionate husband: I lived 
at home with my parents about twenty years, and 
I never heard (that I remember) an angry expret- 
lion between them, only once ſomething had 10. 
bied them, and they both wept, my father ſaying, 


J have been an indulgent; husband unto chec, ane

words, and the greateſt difference that I obſerved

their children. Oh! may we foo them therein

zd, He had a fatherly care for his children, in 
tender prayers for us, and. in good advice to us, 
and in giving us learning according; to his ability, 
and teaching us (by his example, as w cl as precept) 
induſtry, humility, and the true religion of our 
deſſed Saviour, endeavouring to plant it in us be- 
times, and to deſtroy the evil root of fin. in us, 
while young. 

4th, I was his ſervant, as well as ſon, and 1 
can truly ſay, his ſervice was delightful, and bis 
company pleaſing and profitable to me; and he was 
alſo beloved much by his other ſervants. 

eth, He was univerſally beloved by his neigh- 
bours, and I do not remember any differeſte be- 
tween him and them, in the many years I lived with 
him ; but all was peace and love. 

6th, He was very loving to his relations, and 
true to his friends, and a hearty well-wiſher and 
lover of his king and country. | |

Our general meeting at Frankfort, the zoth of 
fourth month, was large, our friend J illiam Piggot, 
from London, being there (ia the caurſe of his viſit 
w friends in America) and had cloſe work and good 
ſeryice in this meeting. 

In the fifth month, 1726, I viſited: the meetings 
of friends at Philadelphia, Germantown, and Bibury, 
ln ſome of which meetings, as alſo at our own ar

winks another; for if they loſt their love, they 
«aſd Joſe their religion, their peace, and their 
God: for God is love, and thoſe that davell in Goa, del} 


in te. 


My neighbour Darie! N ort bing ton, accompanied 
ne in this rough travel, ſome part of the way being 
hilly, and very ſtony and buſhy, and the weather 
wt, We had four meetings, and rode about four- 
fore miles; and tho I had travelled much in this pro- 
vince, I had never been at ſome of thoſe places be- 
fore : but few nights before I ſer out, I had a plain 
proſpect of them in a dream, or night viſion, as 
| ſax them afterwards, which I thought ſome-wahar, 
remaſkadle, _. ; 1 Fre” i 

The people inhabiting this province, are now be 
come. numerous, and make many ſettlements in the 
woods, more than I have obſerved in my travels in 


| any of the Britiſh plantations; and there bath long 


been a deſire in my mind that they might proſper in 
tle work of true and thorough reformation ; and a 
godly fear and concern being upon me, I have ſome- 
limes püt them in mind of the ſtate of this land, 
when their farhers firſt came and ſettled in ĩt; and to 
cution them, of growing careleſs, and forgetting the 
Lord, left be ſhould foriake rlicm, and turn their now 
feel field; into a barren «wilderneſs, as this was ſo 
ately ; which it is eaſy with him to do, if he pleaſes, 
lor the ſins of the people. „ 
After my return home, I viſited many meetings, 
s, Abington (y onrhs-mecting ) Philadelphia, and Ghe- 


fer. At Cheſter I was concerned to direct the people 


io that power in themſelves, which is the life of re- 


Ii x ; s * 
Alon, and to be careful not to reſt in the beſt forms 


%thoat it; for if e had only the form of godlineſs;

ere, got up before day, it being firſt day morning,

Foo-Harbous home; in which jourrey I travelled

concerned to write a few lines concerning {wearing,

ſriends to labour to purge and cleanſe our ſociety of 


ſach under our profeihon who live in open prophanc- 
nes, nd are vĩotous in their converſations. I wasat the 
bank meeting in te ate rnoon, where we had a com- 
fortable time: and the ne xt ſixch day ofthe week! Was 
it our monthly meeting, where it was unanimouſly a- 
greed, in conſideration of ſome late indecent conduct 
of ſome perſons pretending to be of our profeſſion, 


that a teftimeny from that meeting ould go forth a. 


rainſt ſuch diforderly doingsand unchriſtian practices; 
2nd that all ſuch pe rlons, who are irregular in their 
converfations, be dilown'd to be of our community, 
antilthey by repentance, manifeſt their reformation ; 
rhich was accordingly ſoon after publiſhed, and read 
in our frit day morning meeting, and in our yourhs- 
meeting. And about this time our governor iſſued 
i ſeaſonable proclamarion againſt drinking to exceſs, 
pacning, ſw earing profanely, revelling, night - walk- 
Ing, and diſturbing the peace, and other immoralities; 
«hich afforded ſome ſatisfaction to ſober and well- in- 
clined friends, and others: yet there remained a 
great exerciſe and concern upon my mind, that ſome 
young people, whoſe parents had been careful in 
training them up, were grown ſo wicked, that by 
heir extravagant conduct, they notonly diſturb'dour 
religious meetings, but likewiſe became obnoxious ro 
the peaceable government we live under. 

In the ninth month I was at divers meetings, at 
Merion, Germantown, Fairhilt, abington, and PFoila- 
wipkia; in which were ſeveralmarriages ſolemmz.'d 
ina religions manner. And in the tenth month, I 
Kent in the County of Salem, about my affairs: it 
happened to be at the time of the quarterly meeting 
for Salem and Gloucefter counties; but I did not know 


of it, until J came to Salem, where friends were Sad | 


o ſee me, as alſo I was to ſee them; there were ſome 
i us whoſe hearts were knit and united together as

THOMAS CHALKLEYT. 20x 

In the eleventh month, as | was teditating in my 
cloſet, on the duty and beauty of that great virtue 
of remperance, it appeared very brig nt to the view 
of my mind, and the great bene ht of it to thoſe who 
loved and lived in it: Iſt, As to religion, it tends to 
keep the mind in an even temper, which is a help 
0 devotion, and the practice of religious dutzes. 
:dly, It is a great preſervative to health, and a 
00d conſtirution. adiv, It is à bleſſing to poſtericy, 
in many conſide rations. WV nereas imemperance de- 
iroys the health, ſtains the reputation, hurts poſte- 
rity (ia reſpect to a healthy conſticution of body and 
ehate) rains many families, brings to. poverty and 
diſgrace, and, what 13 yer worft of ail, is a great lett 
to religion and the tri fear of God, and is a great 
ſ-andal to any who make profe ion of the chriſtian 
religion N 1 
In this month I accompanied , illiam Pig got (who 
lately arrived from London, on a religious viſit to the 
meetings of friends in America) From Philadelphia 
we went to my houſe at Franlfort, and from thence 
to North-IM ales, and had two large ſatisfactory meet- 
ings on the firſt day; next day we were at the month- 
ly meeting ar Abington, the third day at Frankfort, 
and fourth day at Germartozcn, Fifth day I went to 
Philadelphia week day meeting, aud the ſaid friend 
to Abington general meeting, and a few days after we 
met again at the quarterly meeting of miniſters and 
elders at Philadelphia.

themſelves much out of temper about it 28 for 
Wy own part, 1 had been us'd to diſap ointments, 
and therefore did not ſo much mind it. 1 ſpent pretty 
much of my time in reading and writing, and God 
being gracious, it was, in che main a comfortable 
time to me; and I enjoyed my health as well as 
ever 1 did at ſea in my life, for which I often 
breathed forth inward thanks to the Almighty. On 
the 5th of the third month 'we arrived at Barbados, 
md] was lovingly recetyed by our friends, but camo 
toa very low market for my goods. | 
viſited friends meetings at Bridoe-town, and Spight's 
1621; and-likewiſe at Pumpkin-hill, and the Spring. 
On the day of "Pentecoſt (fo called) we had a meet- 


ing at Bridge toaun, in which was ſhewn, the work 


aud operation of God's ſpirit on the old world, and 
under the law; and the everlaſting duration and 
operation of the ſame Holy Spirit under the goſpel 
Gſpenſation ; evbjich, Chrift faid, ſhowld ' abide forever. 
At the quarterly meeting at Spigbt's-towrr, was judge 
Alen, and the captain of the man of war ſtationed 
there, with ſeveral others, not of our ſoctery. I was 


nuch drawn forth in this meeting to ſpeak of the 


power of the Father, Son, and rhe Spirit, opening to 
the people how we had been miſrepreſented, in reſpect 
to our belief in the Trinity, or the holy Three 
witch bear record in heaven, the Father, Word, and | 
Hirt, evhich Three are One ; for that it was clear and 
_ that we are more orthodox in our belief in the 
Helty, than thoſe who do not believe in the operation 
ot the Holy Ghoſt ; as alſo that none could be true 
chriſtians without it. It was queried, How could they 
be clear in their belief in tie Holy Trinity, or the 


Three that bear record in heaven, who believe the ho- 


ly ſpiric is ceaſed in his operations, gifts, or imme - 


date revelations, and, if ceaſed, when, and where,

THOMAS CHALKLEY. 20% 


The 1k of the fifth month, about noon, we came 


to the Caves of Delaware, and falied up the bay; but, 
in alittle time, we touched the ground with our 
reſlel ſeveral times; but there being little wind, we 
got no harm ; but t Wo hours after, or the reabouts, 2 
rift, or orm of wind took us, which, if it had 
met with vs on the ſhoals where we ſtruck, in all 
likelihood we muſt have periſhed; which I-rook to 
be a remarkable deliverance, Next tide we got to 
Vbcaſtle, and, it being firſt day, I had a meeting 
with friends there, with which we were greatly re- 
Teſhed in the Lord, and in one another. After 
meeting I went on board rhe floop, and having a 
fair wind, we ſailed for Philadelphia, where we ar- 
rived about the eleventh hour, I lodged that night at 
Paul Preſtan's, and next day went home to my fas 
mily at Frankfort, where my wife, children, and jer- 
rants, received me with much rejoicing. 
When I was in Barbados, P. A who accompanied 
me from Bridee-tcun to windward to counſellor 
Weeks's, told me, That when 1 was in the 1fland 
before, he and I had ſome diſcourſe concerning the 
uſe of the ſword, he then (not being of our ſociety) 
wore a ſword, but now had left it off, and his buſineſs 
al, which was worth ſome hundreds a year.“ I 
had reminded him of Chriſt's words, that, Thoſe auhe 
tale the ſevord, jball periſh with the ſword, Matt. 
xxl. 52. and, Reſiſt not evil, and if à man ſmite thee 
in one cheek, turn the ot ber alſo: love enemies, ' as 
good to them that hate you, pray for them <vho agſpite-= 
Fully uſe you and perſecute you. After I had uſted theſe 
erguments, he asked me, If one came to kill me, -avould 
1 rot kill rather than be killed? I told him, No; fo far 
as 4 free my own heart, I bad rather be killed than 
i, He ſaid, That ch ſtrange, and deſired to know 
What reaſon I could give for it. I told him, That F 
being innocent, if I <vas killed in my body, my ſoul 
"obs be happy ; but if I killed bim, be dying in hit

wic ledreſs, would, conſequently, be wnhappy ; and i : 
evas killed, he might live to repent ; but if [ Li in, 
he awould have no time to repert; ſo that i, by billog 
one, / ſhould have much the better, both in whedt t; 
myſelf awd t him. This diſcourſe had made 0 much 
impreſſion, ard. ſo atfected him, that he ſaid, he 
could ot but often remember it. And when we parted 
at Bridge tocur we embraced each other, in open 
arms of chriſtian love, far from that which would 
hurt or deſtroy. 3 | 

After I had been at home fome time, 1 
meetings at Philagelphia, Burlington, and Germantown, 
in which places I had ſervice of divers kinds, and was 
lovingly received by friends and others 

In rhe fifch month, Jeſbua Fielding and Join Orley 
had a large and fatisfattory meeting at © Frankfor, 
Foſbua came from London on a religious viſit to Au- 
rica, and having been on divers iſlands, hie landed on 
the main at South- Carolina, and from thence travelled 
thro' the wilderneſs 400 miles or more, where ng 


public friend had ever travelled before: the jour- 


ney was perilous, but the Lord was with him; who 
may in his own time, make way for his ſervants 


in thoſe deſert places. ohn Oxley came on the ſame 


account from Barbados, and had good ſervice among 
friends in his public miniſtry.” EN | 

In this month we thinking it convenient to ſend our 
Iictle children to ſchool, and not having a ſchool- 
maſter of our ſociety near us, concluded to put our 
ſon and daughter under the care of Nathanael Ii alton, 


to whom I thought it my duty to write a few lines a- 


bout the ſalutation and language I would have then 


train'd up in, which were on this wiſe, vi.

ar ſociety in the above, it being conſonant to our 
principle and profeſſion, and I write in a motion of

The latter end of the fifth, and the boo; ginning of

In the fame month I was alſo at the youths-mecet—

many had recovered. That paſſage opened on my 
mind, to ſpeak of in t the meeting, concerning the 
lepers which Chriſt cleanied and heated, belug ten in 
number, and that but one ame to return thanks to 
God, for being healed, and reſtored to health, Late

and to ſhew their thankfulneſs to G. 5 the g Fiver of

Ehrift the word, in their hearts. The meetin? was 
th a good ſolid frame, and we ' pratl ed the Lord to-

Abaut thts time 1 heard of the death of our king

The 2oth or the fixrh month, going into my cloſet, 
I there met with a paper of my fot-in-law Iſaac 
3-ws's, and finding the contents were religious, as 
{ had done of ſeveral of his late writings, I found it 
on my mind ko write to him after this manner ; 


Dear fon Iſaac, 1 VV 
Dy feveral writings of thine (of late) I perceive 
D chat a good thing is at work in thy mind, the 
which I pray the all-wiſe and infinite Being to pro- 
mote in thy heart, to thy eternal falbation, and 
bis glory. I now begin to be in ſome hopes that, 
ny prayers and tears for thee, in the Lord's time, 
may be anſwered : and I do believe, if thou Keep'tt 
by in thy mind, that God will more and more vi- 
fit thee, 'The advice of David to Ulis ſon Holamon, 
when he alſo gave him the kingdom, comes before; 
my mind to, gige thee---.4:y en, know: thou the Cod

thy Ghoft, that blefled comforter, which Cariſt pro- 
miſed to his church, who ſhould be with them forever, 
aud guide them into all truth. ; X 

Next firſt- day after the yearly-mecting, I, with 
feral of my neighbours, went over Delaware to a 
meeting up Penjawwken creek; in which the Wonder 
fullove of God was declared, in ſending his Son upon 
earth, who, as he was man, died for man, and is 
now by his ſpirit preſent with all thoſz that truly be- 
leve in him, he being the meſſenger of the cove- 
mnt of God to mankind ------ And on ſecond day, 
wing the 25th of the ſeventh month, I had the ſor- 
rowfl tidings of the death of my beloved friend 
James Lord: who, on his death-bed, defired that 1% 
mizht be ſent for to his burial.” In the conſide ration 
of that chriſtian love which was between us, I think I 
may truly note, that we were always glad to meet 
each other; therefore the thoughts of this to ſudden 
change, ard final parting, brought for the preſent, 
: ſadneſs and heavineſs over my mind; conſidering 
his fation in that neighbourhood, and ſervice in that 
congregation to Which he did belong; for therein he 
was Well- beloved, and very ſcrviceable. 

And oh! the lois that his dear wife and tender 
children will have of him, really affects me with ſor- 
rox in penning theſe notes; but the ſorrows in theſe 
things, is all on our fide : for he, without doubt, is 
at reſt with his great Maker in heaven. We had a 
larger meeting at his funeral, than everwas nown to 
be there before (as an antient friend told me) which 
was ſolemn and ſerviceable to many. Zo 

Sometime after, having been at divers meetings 
wout home, Joby Oxley and I, in company, viſked 
riends on Long iſland At Fluſbing we were at the 
burial of Jonathan Dickinſon: many people of divers 
perſwaſions, were at the meeting on that occaſion, 
and were very ſober and attentive. ] was at the 
gear ly-mecting for the ſouth fide of the iſland, at a

In GHNSCHRY a concern WAS on my mind to geclare 0 
the people that the Almighty had ſhewed me, that 


he had often viſited them in PHIladelphia and Penn 


rana, With his own hand, and with his own rod 
but if that did not work the deſigned end, for which 
hie viſited them (of which they were told al ſo before i 
came to pals) he then would chaſtiſe them with the 
rod of man, and this was as plainly ſpoken to we in 
my own habitat ion, as tho* it had been the voice of 
a man, though it was not vocal. |

thit the Almighty had been with us, and helped us to 
exform that day's ſervice. | 

On the 2oth of the eleventh month, and ſecond- 
day of the week, I went into a piece of ground 
(which I was clearing for meadow) in order to give 
directions to the workmen, and one of the trees fel 


eontrary to the kerf, and alſo to the wird, which was 


then at north weſt, and when I ſaw it falling towards 


me, I ran from it, but before I could get out of the 


way, it fell upon me, acroſs my back, from my ſhoul- 
der to my hips, and ſtruck me down to the earth, 
where for ſome time 1 lay ſpeechleſs, and in all likes 
hood I ſhould have becn immediately kill'd, if I had 


not been providentially preferved by the bod of the 


falling tree lying on a ſtump, which prevented its 
cruſhing me, as I lay on the ground. A friend 
that v as near mewich a horſe, deſired the wood-cut- 
fers (whenthey were recovered from the furpriſe, and 
to the uſe of my ſpeech) to help me on his horſe, 
and Irode home, but textremem yery, and [ was un- 
der great concern, left I ſhould furprize my wife and 
children ſuddenly. We ſent ro Phjladelphia tor Dr. 
GrifitbOxwven, who came in about two hours, and let me 
blood, and order'd ſeveral things to be apply d and ta- 
ken, which thro'divine favour prov'd very ſerviceable 
th me; notwirthitanding which was in great pain many 

days, and lohg and tedious nights, not being able 
either to feed my ſelf, nor turn in my bed, for a great 
while In this confinement I was at times favour'd with 
very comfortable ſenſe of the preſence of God, whoſe: 

providence 1s over all his works; and as his love to 

de was great, {0 the love of his people was alſo, many 

ot whom, and of my neighbours, came to ſee me, 
{ympathifing with me in my diftreſs ; but among 

them I had one of %b*'s comforters, who wickedly 
zuſed me in this low ſtate. I can ſcarce forbear 
nenioning his name, having example for it in holy 


writ but through the Lord's help I'll put on * :

flowing I was at Bridge-trzpn, at their week-day 


meeting; and next firſt day (being the 30th of rhe 
month) 1 was at a meeting at Pumplin Hill, where I

After this Lwent to the Bridge with a friend from

Acer wards 1 with ſcveral friends went to Speiobr's-

colonel Charnort, and juſtice St; I dined with them 
A judge M eels's, and they diſcourſed of what was

Kllor and judge ſaid, it was home doctrine to ſoma 


tht were there; divers of them ſeemed to be touch

who treateqhs wich much freedom and civility; he 


deſtred me ig fir down by him, and then called for a 


decanter of wine, of which he kindly offered me a

more ſo in the afternoon. At this! meeting there is 
a merciuant of the. towa, who ſent hoo if ov! : 
friends (he not being of our pr es) would m ks 
a contribution for me, in confider:tio: ot my offs 


He faid he would contribute as Wich 28 a; leh 


.he had heard me only that one time; by + hb 1 58 in- 


formed that we received no money nor Pay for our 
preaching ; yet his good-will I acknowledged

is the ſummer (1. e. ſhe prepares againſt the winter) 
hough this may be def picable in the eyes of our ſine 
endlemen and learned ſpending wits, yet there ap- 
bears more wiſdom in theſe little induſtridus animals, 
than in thoſe great ſpenders, who, in the ſpring and 
ſimmer of their years take fo little thought of 


ring what hath been with fo much care gotten for 


them, or of getting more againſt their winter or old- 


292; which if they live, will certainly overtake them 
Ven their youth of ſummer is 7 7 

But many youths object againſt this advice, crying 
gut, as 1 have often heard, The aged give this 
xlyice when they are old, but did as we do when 
they were young, as we are;“ although this may be 
rue in ſome, yet it will not hold good in the general, 
and if it do in ſome, is not that maxim good! Let 
athers harms learn us to beware, beforc it be too late, 
fat we fall not into the ſame ſnare, which hath en- 


nugled or caught thouſands, to their great ſhame 


12d reproach.” Again, Thoſe who have heenſoover- 
taken in their We and aree ſcaped out of the fnare, 
are more fit to caution or adyiſe how to eſcape it, or 
% e thoſe paths which led them into that laby- 
finth of woe and miſery, © 3 5 | 
The author of all evil uſerh his utmoſt. skill and

fatiors. | 

In this voyage we had ſeyeral meetings on boar 


the firft of which was at the requeſt of my ſecond 
mate, to call the ſailors together in the cabin; In 
being forward to propoſe it to them, Ie they ſhow! 
ſuſpect me of ſome vanity, in defiring to preach to 
them; they not knoy ing che croſs of Chuiſt in that 
exerciſe. | | Dd 
On the 24th day of the ſeventh month, at noo", 
our ſhip, by obſervation being exactly inthe latitude 
of Barbados, we feer'd away welt for the ifland, 
and on the 26th we ſaw it, after five weeks and ons

divers times at the Bridge meeting of friends, as al.

it was obſerved to the people, that the ſalvation o.

rock and foundation of all the righteous, in all ages; 
ks was the rock that followed {rael, which they 
grank of; any other foundation than him, no mari 
can lay; who is, in the truly religious, and the true 
believers, the Hope of their glory Many other precious 
truths were majilfelted to us in thac meeting, for 
which we praſſed the Lord. 

Fdoh after I went to Bridge- tocun to clear out the 
eſſel, and was at their week day meeting : The 
ſubject matter J had to treat of in that meeting, was, 
That the Lord briugeth low, and he raiſeth up a- 
gain; and thar, in divers reſpects, as to kingdoms, 
families, and particular perſons, and as to health, 
wealth, honour, Sc. divers in that meeting were 
zppezled to as witrneſſes of it.“ After this meeting, 
I went to viſit the governor, who was courteous to 
me, and took my vilit kindly, and defired to be re- 
membred to our governor, and ſeveral others, and 
wiſhed me a proſperons vo) age, and well back again, 
which he hoped would be in about three months---he 
aid, * Whoever lived to ſee it, Pennſylvania would be 
the metropolis of America, in ſome hundreds of years.” 
He ſaid, he loved down-right honeſt men; bur 
he hated deceit and hy pocriſy. A great man, and & 
great expreſſion ! | 

The 214 of the eighth month, 1729, we, having 
done our buſineſs, weigh'd anchor and went to fea : 
aud on the 26th, we had a good meeting with rhe 
Nip's company, for the ſervice aud worſhip of God; 
in which the goſpel of Chriſt was declared without 
parttality, and the reipning {ins of ſailors openly ex- 
poſed, according to the doctrine of the goſpel, and

THOMAS CHALKLEY. 22x 
home, where we arrived the latter end of the 
month. | 


#zy 1 was on ſhore, I was divers times at meetings 
at Philade/phia and Frankfort, attd was allo at Gers 
nartown, at the burial of our antient friend Dennis 
(urrad, who was one of the firſt ſettlers of this town 
(under ſtood the firſt meeting of friends, for 
worſhip, in it, was kept at his houſe) he was a 
man of an inoffenſive life, much given to haſpita- 
lity, and left a good report behind him : the meet- 


ing was large, and many of the firſt ſettlers of the 


country were there. I was alſo at the burial of Ca- 
tiarine, the daughter of Thomas Lig biſ bot, the wite 
James Aliller, a worthy woman, who died ſoon 
er their arrival from Ireland, and was buried from 
our great meeting houſe in Philadelphia, in a decent 
ind exemplary manner... 9 $2 0-8 - 
The latter end of the tenth month, Samuel Flar-. 
won, of New-York, and Obediab Lawrence, on Long 
and, favour'd me with their company all night at 
our houſe, where we called rhe family together, and. 
had a ſeaſonable time to take leave, they of me, and 
Lot them, and my family alſo ; and the next day 
ayers very dear friends came with me to the boar 
t the river ſide, to take leave, and we parted with 
hearts full of love and goodwill to each other. 

So I went on board at I iccacoe, and had a cold 
pallage down the river and bay, and left the Capes 
ne iſt of 11th month (being the third voyage as 
maſter) and the 179th we paſſed the Tropic of Cancer. 


Hitherto we had a comfortable paſſage, und though 


ke nad acrouded ſhip, . yet we had peace and quiet» 
nels to a greater degree than I expected: for men 
at uſe the ſeas, are, too generally, incouſtant as the 


uind and waters they wade through. We had ſe- 


era meetings on board the . veſſel in this voyage, 
and were at ſea about four weeks, before we arrived

effel loaded, we failed from Philadeiphia the gth of 
the fifth month. Next day came to an anchor at 
Cheſter, and viſited my old friend David Livgd, who., 
with his good ſpouſe Grace, treated me rh tender, 
chriſtian love ; the judge and I, being old acquain- 
tance, and both of us in years, and he not well, we 
took leave, as if we were not to ſee one another any 
more (which happened accordingly, for he died be- 
fore I returned.) | | 
We weighed anchor at Cheſter, and got down. to 
Elinburgh, and went to Salem meeting (it being 
elt day of the week, and 12th of the month) with 
ſome of our paſſengers and ſailors. The meeting 
was pretty large, and J was earneſtly concerned tor 
their welfare (as I had often been when was abſent) 
and was glad I was with them that day. 

After this meeting we proceeded on our voyage, 
and left the Capes the 15th of the aforeſaid month = 
had ſmall and contrary winds, and ſometimes calms, 


vntil the 2d of the ſixch month, and firſt day of the 


week, when the wind was at ſouth, and a hard 
vale, the ſea high, and the ſhip having A * moti- 
on, therefore We had not a meeting as uſual: man 
of the paſſengers were very ſea- ſick; as for my part, 


thought, if the "Almighty was but with me, that 


would make ip for all difficulties ; for in him was, 
and is my life and chiefeſt joy: and, as an anſwer 


of peace in my toſſed condition, I fometimes had com- 


fortable times; being inwardly refreſhed with the 
love and preſence of God; not only in the day, bur 
allo in the night, in my fleep; out of which I was awa- 
kened one morning (in the morning watch) with 
theſe comfortable words, He took me to his 1 


houſe, and his banner over me avas love. Theſe expreſ- 


hogs were ſo treſh in my mind, for ſome days, that 


1 could not forbear but bleſs the holy name of the 


living Lord ſecretly in my ſoul.

The ſea, that roar d at thy commayd, 
At thy command was ftill. |

In midſt of dangers, fears, and dent, 

Thy goodneſs FU 'adove ; | 
And praiſe thee for thy mercies Peuſt, 
And humbly hope for more. 


My life, if thou prejery'ft my life, 
Thy Jacrifive fall be; 

And death, if death muff be my dion, 
Sholl join my ſel to t hee. 


The 4th of the eighth month, we met with a hard 


gale of wind which broke the tiller of on rudder; 
and ſplit our bowſfpricand main-fail, and overſir many 
of our cheſts; Robert Jordan narrowly milled his chetl 
falling on him from one ſide gf the ſhip to the other, 
which we looked on ag a merciful providence, ans 
poke of it to one another, remembring ulliſn's ver- 
es, which the night before were repcated. | 

In this paſſage we ſaw three veſſels only; it wasa 
bluſtering time, but the ſhorteſt from land to land 
That ever I had, being but 14 days and 14 hours 
from the fight of Barbados to the fight of che nn land: 
we arrived at Philadelphia, the 16th of the eighth 
month. Sel 

In the ninth month, I proceeded on a fifch voyage 
{as maſter) to Barbados, and went down tie river 
Dela toare on a ſeventh-day, and on firft day was 4

Chefter meeting, c which time there was a burial ot 
2 child, and a large meeting: our friends at Chee 
were glad to ſee me, and I them, and after mecting ue 
let fail and went down the river to H ſinburel, where 
we came too and landed Robert Worthington, whoſc ſon 
Arra, was on bourd, and went to Barbados for lis 
Health, being in a deep conſumption. 

This voyage we were on our paſſage about 33 cay5,

| I was at one meeting, where was the governor and 
his daughter, with divers of the beſt and ſobereſt ped» 
ple of this! and; it was a ſatistactor meeting, which 
ended in prayer; and when J aroſe from my knees L 
tound the governor on ane tide, and his daughter on 
the other fide of me, borh on their knees f in a pof- 
ture 1 in which people are too ſeldom found in this 
degenerate age of the world. | 

Nathe 1oth of che firſt month, 1531, we departed 
fromtbe iſland of Anguilla, with a pleaſant vale, and had 
fir weather and winds for {-veral days; I ſpent 
ſome time of this voyage in reading, and met with 


f paſſage of, or concerning; friendſhip; the comfort | 


and beauty of it therein was notably ſet torth, yet 
moſt who treat upon that noble ſubject, place (too ge- 
berelly )- the felicity thereof in humanity: : whereas 
true and laſti ag friendſhip is of a divine nature, and cart 
never be firmly ſettled without divine grace; Chriſt 
Jeſus is the prime friend of mankind, and from he 
all true and lafting friendſhip fprings and flows, 
from a living fountain, himſelf being the head 
ſpring thereof, out of which holy fountain harh 
ſprung as followeth, Henceforth I call you not ſervants, 
ard ye are ny friends, if je do <vhatfoever I command you. 
And ___ By this ſhall all men hnow that ye are my 
ajciples, if ye love one another. Q holy expretiions ? 
nuch to be admired, and worthy every true and 
good man's and woman's imitation and practice. 
berve, tat whenthey had done whatſoever Chriſt 
md commanded them, then they were to be his 
friends, and they were not onl ly to be his friends, and 
Ine anothers friends, as he was theirs, : and if occa- 
hon were, as he died, 10 they would die for oneang= 
mer: by this mark and trueſt ſeal of the rrueit 
friendſhip, all the world ſhould know they belong d. 


to Chriſt, that they were united to him, and in him. 
united to one another: nothing but ditobedience and 


n can ever ſeparate this friendihip.

On the z6th the wind ſprung up at caft-north-eaft,

of Philadelphia, and I was concerned to exhort friends 
in that city to bring their children to meetings, and 
educate them, when young, in che way they ſhould 
po, that they might not de part from it when old; and 
that he who had taken many away, could, if he pleaſed, 
uke many more; for though he might have laid 
down his rod at preſent (the diſtemper in the city 
being much abated) he could ſoon take it up again. 
it is my belief the Lord Almighty will ſtill continue 
to viſit the city and people (if there is nota reforma- 
tion) with farther, if not ſorer viſitations, becauſe 
he hath known them to do themgood, and make them 
a bleſſing to many iſlands and people; giving them 
the fatneſs of the earth, and that which is far more,

thedew of heaven; fo that he may juſtly ſay to us, as 


to {{rael of old, Yor have I knoaun of all the families of tb 


tarth; therefore I will viſit upon you for all your iniquities. 

In the beginning at the fourth month, Robert 
Jordan was married to Alary, the widow of Ri- 
thard Hill (all three worthy friends) the meeting 


on this occaſion was large, arid the marriage ſblem- 


atzed in the fear of God. Divers friends were con- 
cerned to ſpeak to the people, and it was greatly de- 
bred that thoſe preſent (ho were then ſpoke to) might 
be married to Chrift, the great lover of ſouls, who” 


lad down bis life (the moſt precious life that ever was 
on earth) and ſhed his precious blood for our ſalvation. 


A few days after which I again took ſhipping for 
tne land of Barbados (being the ſixth voyage) in the 
New Briftol Hope, and left the capes of Delaware the 
eichth day of the month. The 22d of the ſaid month,

md was awaken'd out of my ſleep with the words,

met with an accident that was painful and troubleſume 
o me, which happened in a hard gale of wind, I he- 
ing to the windwarc, and the ſhip having a large mo- 
ton, and miſſing my hold, was canted from my place 
o the other ſide of the veſſel, againſt rhe edge of a 
cheſt, and ſo bruiſes my leg that I could not do my 
buſineſs as IJ uſually did, which was a great hin- 
drance and diſappointment to me: but in about a 
month's time, with the aſſiſtance of ſome of my friends 
there, I got indifferently through it, and alſo rode 
to Bridge-texun, and had ſeveral meetings there, I 
was allo at ſeveral good and comfortable meetings at 
teirbt's-town, where we had one the day we ſail'd, 
being the 21ſt of the eleventh month ; and on the 
ſex-ſhore parted with our friends in great love, and 
ſet fil, the wind being about north-eaſt, fo that 
we could not weather the iſland of Martineco; we 
therefore jailed along by the iſlands of Dominico and 
Cuardalowpe, and had calms under the iſland, and 


ſometirnes the eddy winds from off the mountains, or. 


high lands, would take the fails, and carrythe ſhip 
clear round, which made it ſometimes tedious. The 
:3d and 24th, we paſſed by the iſlands of Montſerrat, 
Antioua, Rodondo, Chriſtopher's, Nevis, Bart holomeau, 
ltatia, Saba, Barbuda, Martin's, and Anguilla, the 
winds and weather being fair and pleaſant. The 
25th, in the evening, it began to be hay; and, in 
the night we ſplit our main-top-ſail, which coſt us a 
great deal of labour, and loſs of time, befere we 
could get it mended and ſet again. Ve had pretty 
lar weather for about 20 days, until we came on our 
coat, and into ſoundings; when a hard gale of wind 
rung up eaſterly, which ſetting on the ſhore, was 
langerous, and we had a long night coming on; bur, 


rough the favour of the Almighty, we got off from 


be land. In the midft of the danger of this ſtorm, 
*y-10ut fang praiſes co the Lord.

The r2th of the twelfth month, we met with ano. 
ther ea fierly ſtorm, being 1 in about thirty fathom 
water, it blew, and rain 4 very hard, and was ali 
exceeding cold, and our coming from a hot climate 
made it more hard to bear. In this Nor: m we ſaw di- 
yers lights, which the ſailors call Corpruſir bn, one of 
them was exceeding bright, and fat, as near as | can 

Compute it, about half an hour on our main Op- 
maſt head, plain to the view of all the ſhip's c 155 
pany, divers of whom ſaid they never faw the like, 
and I think I never heard of, or ſaw the like before. 

The ſtorm continued all night till day, when i: 
abated, and it being the firſt bas the week, we had 
a comfortable meeting, in which the peopl: eon board 
were adviſed toget divine and heavenly y learning, and 
not to be fools in religion, or in the things of Gor 
nor to hate his true, Knowlellge; tor if they had al 
che naturai knowledge, and br ighteſt natural parts in 
the world, they would be bur fools without the 
true fear of God, which the wife king Solomon ; lays, 
is the beginning of Wiſdom. |

Moſt High, whom I love and ſerye, to be hielt ye. 
warder, 
J had two meetings at our meeting hauf, 


George Scree where was people of diver: perfwaß 


ons, Who gave good attention. Fort ele meeting. 
Iv as truly thenkful; for though, throughtleextream 
cold, I could hardly ſpeak he n on board, OE 
ſpoke freely, much romy admiration, and | belic veto 
the people's farisfaction, more than is proper for mc 
to mention, wherefore [ praiſe God. When ne we 
ther was a little more open, and the ice pone, we 
ſail'd up the river to Philagelphia, where ! Yo; 
_ fally received by my friends; and while the eget 
Was Yepalring and fitting for another voy; age, I was 
not idle, bur viſited friends meetii 85 at Phitadelybia, 
Burlington, Abington, Germantozn, By bu V, Hair Hill, 
and Franlfort; being ſometimes at four or tive mect- 

ings a WEEK. 1 was alſo at Had. fe d and Hus ban 
meetings, in I {#- Jerſey; - both good and « comfortable 
meetings, and will not caſily be for gotten ; for there- 
in God was gracioutly pleaſed to viſit us with his 
word, blefled be his name. 

The 4 ath. of the third month we again {et fail for 
Speight's: foam, in Barbados; and the th of 
month, about ſix in the morning 
Fre From the time we left che light of the 
Capes of Delaware, to the fight of Ba: ados, Was 
twenty five days e was the quickeſt voyage 
that ever I had in this ſhip) in which time we had 
three meetings for the public worſhip of Alwighi, 
God, and to me they were beneficial; and for God's 

oodneſs, I could do no leſs than return praiſe to 
Bir, who alone is worthy for ever. : 
After 1 had done my buſineſs at Barbados, and 
vidited friends meetings on the 5rh of the fifth month. 
I failed for Saut h- Carolina, touched at the iſland ot 
Cbriſtopher s, and landed ſome paſſengers there, From 


thence we weut to ſeaz and the ſame night we had 
form; 


left the Cate . 


form, but ſuffered little, the wind being for us, thar 
we went before it, and after it was over, we had a 


leaſant paſſage of abour fourteen days to the coaſt of 


Carolina; and when we ſaw the land, the wind 
came againft us, which made ſome of our paſſengers 
very uncaſy ; but in meditating on the Infinite Being, 
I was favoured with inward comfort and ſtrong con- 
ſolation, fo that I was humbly thankful, and pralied 
God. JETS e | 

We were prevented by contrary winds, and a 
frong current, from getting into Charles totn, and 
while we were beating about the coaſt, we met witle 
a veſſel, which came from thence, who gave us in- 
telligence that many people died ſuddenly, and that 
they buried ten or twelve in a day. Hearing ſuch 
news, and the wind being ſtill againſt us, our paſſen- 
gers who intended for Carolina, concluded to go for 
Pee lia ſo we tacked about, and ftood for Dela- 
dart bay, and then we had a freſh pale a-head again 
for ſeveral days, and ſpending much time on the 
coaſt, our water was far expended, and we agreed to 
come to an allowance of water, a quart a man for 
twenty-four hours, for ſeveral days before we got 
in. We were about five weeks in our paſſage from 
Barbados to Delumare river. | 


Soon after our arrival at Phila#elphia we got cur 


ſhip on the ways, in order to refit and ſheath her, in 


vhich time I travelled into ſeveral counties, and had 


many religious meetings in divers places, in which I 
had good ſatisfaction; and my old acquaintance and 
friends ſaid, they rejvic'd to ſee me again after my 
bea voyages. I was thankful in my heart for the good-- 
will of my good Maſter, and of my friends, in thoſe 
journeys, which was, and, I hope, ever will be bet- 
(er to me than choice ſilver, and fine gold. | 
The winter ſetting in about a month ſooner than 
alual, many veſſels were detained from going to ſea, 
geing trozen up; alſo many veſlels could not come

both to me and friends, aud we had meetings at the 
alu, Hriſtol, Middleton, I rieht's-toaun, Borden- 
town, Grofevicks, Man field, Upper and Lommer Hpring- 
feld, Mount Holly, Rancocus, Ateſbam, and Cheſter, 
and divers evening meetings at ſeveral friends houſes, 
It now being a ſfekly time I was often ſent for to 
vr the ſick, in which viſits we were comforted, ang 
God's holy name was praiſed. 

On the 18th of the eleventh month, I was ſent for 
to Briſtol to vitit EnnionHilliams, who vwasdangeroully 
ill, and to Burlington, to the burial of Elizabeth, the 
vife of Jonathan Wright, who was buried from the 
great meeting-houſe at Burlingten. The meeting 
was very large; ſh2 being well beloved by her neigh- 
bours and acquaintance, being a woman much given 
to hoſpitality (and indeed many of our friends at Bur- 
linoton have exceeded in that reſpect the moſt that ever 
| have obſerved in my travels) ſhe was a pattern of 
piety, a loving, obliging wife, and render and careful 
mother, a kind neighbour, aloving and faithful friend, 
and ſo continued to the end, for ſome of her dy ing 
words were, * That ſhe defired her love might be 


' remembred to all friends, which was done openly : 


in the ſaid meeting, and tenderly affected many. 

After I came home, I was at the marriage of I 
liam Parker and Elizabeth Gilbert, at which marriage 
was our worthy, antient friend, 7b» Richardſon, 
with divers other European friends. The meeting 
was large and edifying. N 

The river ſtill continuing frozen up, I had a deſire 
to viſit my friends and brethren in Cheſter county, 
vhom I had not ſeen for ſome years; and in order 
thereto, in the beginning of the twelfth month, I, 
with my kinſman, Daniel Stanton, ſer out from Phila» 
@bphin, and went to Neutcaun, where we had a meets

our boat out and went to Lecbistotun: and next

260 The JOURNAL / 


zoth of the eighth month we left the iſland of 5 


bados, bound for Philadelphia; and on the 1 ith of the 


ninth month it pleaſed God to favour us with a gra- 
cious orrunity to worſhip him; wherein es Pot 
Clared to the ſhip's Company, the nature and ad. 
vantage of good, and the fountain fr om whence it 
flows. or ſpring 3; as allo the nature and diſadyay 
tage of evil; the one being or ſpringing from God, 
and the other proceeding from ſatan, or the devil, 
who 1s the root of all evil; and, that men might be 
left without excuſe, God hath ſert the divine and fu. 
pernatural light of tus holy ſpirit, to ſhew to wor- 
tals what is good, and w fat i iS evil; in order that 
they might embrace the good, and refuſe the cvil. 

The 21ſt cf the ninth” month, we had ver y hard 
gales of wind at north weſt, which blew ſo har d, that 
it put us from failing, fo that we were obliged to 
Jay her to the wind; for by the violence thereof, we 
could not carry any ail; and it was fo dark, that we 
could neither ſee fars, nor one another; nor hear 
one another, without we were very near, the feas 
Filing very high: indeed the long ſtormy and dark 
nights were very diſmal; and ſome of our goods got 
looſe i in the hold. In the beginning of the ni; ght, a- 
bout the ſeventh hour, 1 Philip Kerney, my apprencice, 
fell into the fea, and was loft: which was a deep al. 
fliftion to us in divers conſiderations. 

The z 5th we ſaw rhe land, and next by we came 
to an anchor in Delaware bay, The loſs of this 
lad, was a cauſe that we were £ ot to 30% fa, as is uſu

The latter end of the reath month I went the zu 
voyage { commander of the PBaviades-Paciet | ) from 
Philadelpbia, bound to Barbados : we were towed

through rhe ice by two bbats from Thomas Mi, e

Fhence we failed down Delaware bay ; where we lay

the nights being long, the days very ſhort, and wea- 


ther ſharp; we left our Capes inthenight, it being dan. 
gerous lying in he bay ; and afrer being out ſeveral 

days, we had favourable winde, and pleaſant wea- 
ther; but when we got into the trade wind, it blew 
bard, and moſtly againſt us; fo that the firft land we 

{fy was the iflard of Chriſcpher's, where we arrived 
in 20 days from our Capes; and the market for pro- 
viſlons being at that time better than at any other of 
thoſe iflands, and the property of the veſſel moſtly 

belonging to me, and the cargo generally conſign'd 

to me, I diſpoſed of part of it. Here being no mect- 
ing of our ſociety on this iſland, I had meetings on 

board the veſſel. in the harbour, and divers from the 

more, and ſeveral maſters of veſſels came to our 
meetings, the ſnow having large accommodations for 
ſuch an aoccation ; and fo far as I could underiand, 
the people were generally ſatisfied, and ſpoke well of 
our mectings. | 

Of late times, and alſo in this voyage, meeting 

with many loſſes and croſſes, and much afflictions, 
and various exerciſes, I was ready to fay in my. 
heart, Loyd, «vby am Inbus affiifled, now in my decli- 
King years, ſince, thou know'ft, I love thee above all 
things, and that I would not willinaly or knowingly of- 

jend thee, my great and dear Lord? It was anſwered 

(as though vocally ſpoken) Ay only begotten and le- 
loved ſon, who never offended me, ſuffered much more. This 
word being ſuch an evident truth, 1 begged pati- 
ence to go through all my ſuſfe rings and afflictions, 
lo that at leaſt I might live with Chriſt in the glorious 
kingdom of God for ever, where I might always bleſs 
290 praiſe his holy name. „„ 

Five or ſix days after our arrival at this ifland, a 
velle}, that came our five or fix days before us, arrived, 
ſhe meeting with the ſame boifterous weather as we 
did, yet we made our paſſage ten or eleven days ſoon- 
er divers other veſſels, bound to Barbados, put in

had an open, fausfattory meeting, for which ! was

The next day we arrived again at Chriftcpber's, and 


there unloaded che remainder of our cargo, though 


much againſt my mind. After having ſold the mot

and there ſold the remainder, and took in our load 


In loading our veſſel, judge Broan was my very 
good friend, and heiptul ro me therein, for which | 
think myſelf much obliged to him. 

While we lay here, I hada meeting on board our

a good meeting, tho' I ſpoke to them in much miſery 
and pain, having very angry painful ſorcs on my

but, after ſome time, he was more ſober, and ſeem- 


ed reſpectful at parting. 

[ was invited to have a meeting next ct firſt· day on 
board the ſhip King George, a large veſſel; the ma- 
ter told me his cabin was large, and w ould accom- 
modate many more than mine; but we did not Roy 
ſo long as till the firſt daß. | 

after this meeting was over, the maſter of the 
large ſhip came on board, and faid, “ He wagsdorry 
he had not come ſooner, lo as to have had the oppor 
tunity co have been at the meeting.” 

From Chriſtopher's we ſet fail for the ifland of Ar- 
wills, and had a meeting at the governor's houſe on 
a firſt day. We ftaid at Anguilla three davs, and 
there took on board ſome bags of cotton on freight, 
and failed from thence the och of the ſecond month. 
The governor of this iſland, whoſe name is George 
Leonard, told me, That ki ſhould live and die in 
our inciples, ſaving that he muſt defend his people. 
But be did not conſider, that his defence might de- 
ſtroy both him and them, and that ſuch defence was 
13 contrary to Chriſt's doctrine and practice. 

A remarkable and diſmal paſſage he related to me 
mat, ſome days before, a veſſel came fr om the iſland 
Kad (which went there to take in ſalt) the 
people g going onſhore, the maſter told him, that there 
lay at the landing the heads of above twent y men on 
one {ide the path, and the quarters of them on the o- 


ther; which ſo ſurprized them, that they made the 
delt of their way to Anęuilla, where they related this 


Glnal ftory, and ſuppoſed the flain to be Britons by 
their appearances, and that they were deſtroyed by 
[ne Spaniards, who are known to be cruel to them:

«ſervices in his power he carefull, performed, and 
took delight in; he was very diligent, and ready to 
go to religious meetings, and an entire lover of re- 
* people, N In his ſickneſs he behaved himfelt 
more like a wilc man, than a youth of that age,

ither, He was very fervent in prayer in the time 
of his ſickneſs, and prayed that God would preſerve 
this pcople all the world over. One time, when

Chriſt, made him defirous of being with him, and 
ſceing the joy that was ſet before him, thought the 
time long to be with Tefus, as knowing that then 
' he would be out of all miſery and pain. His heart 
' was fall of love to his relations, acquaintance and 
friends, who came to ſee him in his illneſs; and full 
{of tender ſweetneſs and divine love, he took his 
alt leave of them, which greatly affected many,

of which nature were divers others, which peradven-

One place which much affected my mind that he 
wrote down, and got by heart, was the 15th verſe of 
the 57th chapter of that evangelical prophet /ſaia# :

| undertook another voyage to Barbados, and from 
thence intending for Lnndon, in order to ſettle ry at- 
fairs there, which I intended fome y cars before, but 
oſſes and diſappointments hinder'd me: wherefore, 
the 7th of the tenth month, I proceeded on a fifth 
voyage in the Barbados Packet, and left Philadel- 
ybia, and was at a meeting the next day at Cbeſter 
(being firſt day) and in the evening we had a large 
meeting at Grace Lloyd's, where I met with my dear 
friend Joſeph , who had good ſervice in ſaid 
meeting; we rejoiced in Chriſt to fee each other: 
we Jeit Chefter the gth, and got that tide down the 
river to Newcaſtle, and after viſiting thoſe few 
friends there, we ſet fail the 12th in the morning; 


the wind being high, and the weather very ſharp, 


freezing hard, our fails were fo froze, that we had 
bard work to get the veſſel under fail. The 13th 
dy, weighed anchor, and failed down the bay, and 
the 14th we were clear of the Capes. The firſt day 
following, we had a good, ſeaſonable meeting, tor the 
worſhip and ſervice of God; and, in ſaid meeting, 
3s I was treating of diſobedience to parents, and dit- 
obedience to Almighty God, our great Parent and 
Heavenly Father, a youth, who was a paſſenger in the 
veſſel, went out haſtily and abruptly, as I was ſhew- 
ing the ung rute fulneſs of the irſt much more of the 
laſt: when I asked the realon of his going out, he 
laid, “ It was becauſe he could not forbear cry ing;“ 
and thinking I tpoke ſo becauſe of him, he ſaid, He 
could not hear me any more.” AfrerwardsLunderitood 
that he was a youth who wasvery ungrateful and diſ- 
obedient to his parcnts; the which I knew not of, 
for his mother told me, and himſelt alſo, that he went 
to ſea on account of his health. I thought his going 
out ſo haftily, was occa fioned by ſome indiſpoſition of 
body ; but it was, as he gave us to underftand,'thro* 


reſenting ill what was ſpoken, and by his taking of it 
to hi mſe lf, I have, in like manner, ſometimes obſerv d,

eaſineſs in public aſſemblies of worſhip and de vvoti. 
on, and ſometimes g oing out, O. to that they have 
thereby expoſed themſelves to the notice of the 2:9. 
pie, as perſons guilty of the matter public, repre- 
nenged, or ſpoken againſt ; juſt as though they were 
the only perſons in the aſſembly, who were grilry of 
the evil then taken notice of: ſuch public rettet. 
nels, is a great folly and weakneſs, heſiles ſo openly 
and publicly expoſing themſelves. : 


After we left our Capes, we had divers hard pales 


of wind, which lafted ſeveral days. The 28th, being 


a firſt day, we had a meeting for divine worſhip, 
in which God was praiſed, and his holy name exalted, 
for his unſpeakable grace, in ſending his only begor- 
ten Son, a Divine Light to eniighten the inhabitants 
of the world: after which we had ſtormy weather 
and contrary winds for ſome weeks, io that our 
paſſige was tedious ; and of 15 times going to Bar. 
bades, I found this the moſt difficult; and the proj- 
pect was very diſccuraging of making 2 loſing vo) - 


A 3e, by the great expence J expected for repairing 


and refitting the veſſel, Ec. ſo that I began to de- 


{pair of accompliſhing my defign of diſcharging my 
debts in Great Britain, and the thoughts and conſi- 
de ration of loſing ſo much of the company and con- 


erfation of my wife, relations, and friends, and 


ſpending fo much precious time (which cannot be re- 
called) to fo little purpoſe, lay heavy on my mind; 
yet by the grace of God, my mind was ſupported, 
and my reſolutions confirmed to praiſe the Almighty, 
for every diſpenſation of his providence. 

The 23d of the eleventh month, we faw the iſlant 
of Barbades (at the breaking of the day) baving been 
from the Capes of Delaware forty days, and one night; 
and was truly thankful, that, ar lat, we, through di- 
vine favour, got well to our deſired port; where vc

aun who were joyful at our arrival, From thence 
| went to Bridee-town, and ſo on to the governor's, 
in order to enter our veſle] ; bur, ſtaying a little too 
late, che governor, who was the lord Howe, was 
come from his houſe on his way to Bridge-town, 
with his coach and fix, and his artendants ; but he 
ſeeing me) courteouſly fropp'd his coach, and did my 
buſineſs as he far therein; and though. I made an eſ- 
fy towards an excuſe, he would not admit of it, ay- 
ng, „There was no need of any excuſe.” He was 
indeed an extraordinary courteous man: he died ſoon 
after, mach lamented, as he was much beloved. 

My ftay at Barbados this time was the longeſt 1 
erer ſtaid, believing it to be the laſt time I ſhould 
20 there, and that I ſhould ſee them no more. My 
0 ſaying troubled ſome of them; bur baker in 
years {being then turned of threeſcore) I thought it 
would be too hard for me to undertake ſuch another 
voyage; therefore I was at all the meetings of our 
friends on the iſland. 

Here IT met with Mofes Aidridze, a friend from 
New-Frgland, who came on a religious viſit to friends 
of this iſland, with whom we had divers good meet- 
ings, his ſervice in preaching the goſpel being edify- 
ing and acceptable; we were together at the marriage 
of Andrew Drury and Mary Levis, after which meet= 
ing and marriage, I was ill of a fever ſeveral days, 
which diftemper was very much among the people, of 
whicn near twenty maſters of veſſels, and ſome hun- 
creds of people died; and though I had been at ar- 
bados many times, I never had ſo much illueſs there be- 
fore; Yoſes Aldridge and ſeveral friends ofus, had a large 
meeting at John ¶ ibſon's, where were many people, not 
or our perlwaſion, who generally were ſober; but as 
Iwasrecommending charity to the people, according 
the doctrine of the apoſtle Paul, as the molt excel- 
lent gift, I adviſed them to ſhew it forth to all people 
*#al-profcfiions, and alſo to their Negroes, telling

fortable meeting after the ſtorm, wherein the great 
benefit of true religion was a little 6pen'd to our

eighteen meetings in that great ci, at two of which 
I was with lay Drummond, a virtuous young woman, 
who hath a good gift in the miniſtry, and had a gra-

was joyful, at SHHecusbury WE parted, and {/aac and I 
went to-Golehroo%, where, onafirſt duy, we had a ſolid, 
good meeting; from thence we went to Sturbridge, and 
after having a meeting there, we had another at Bromſ- 
zrove, and ſo went on to MH orceſtor, where we had divers 
large and ſolemn meetings ; we lodged at 7h Corbin's, 
who was very kind to us, as alſo were his hopefal 
children, and in great love and unity we both met 


and parted. From Worceſter, we went to Eveſbam, 


where we had two mectings, and from thence to Od= 


#ngton, and had a large evening meeting, the people 


(who were moſtly of other ſocieties) were very ſober, 
and gave good attention; this was the fourth day of 
the week; fifth day we had a meeting at Chalbury, 
and a tender time witha friend very weak at /alling- 
ford, who expreſſed his ſatisfaction and thankfulneſs 
for the viſit; his children were very tenderly affected 
alſo. The good Lord, the great Phy ſician of value 
was with us, and his balſamic grace was at that time 
ſhed abroad in our hearts. From V allingford, we 
went to Reading, where my good companion and fel- 
low Traveller Iſaac Picherelldwelt; we were lovingly 
received by our friends; I ſtaid here and reſted ſe- 
veral days, and had ſeveral ſatisfactory meetings with 
friends, they being a large people, living much in 
loye and good-will; here Samuel Thornton of EA. 
monton, my kinſman, and ſſaac Brown, my wite's 
fon, came to fee me from London. From Reading, 
Iſaac Pickeye!l accompanied me to Maidenhead, and 
to Jordan's, at both which places we had meetings. 
The houſe and buryiig ground at Jordans, are kept 
in the neateſt order I ever ſaw, in which ground lies 
me bones of divers worthy friends, /ſaac Penington, 
William Penn, Thomas Elzvood, Georgs Boxbles, and 
their wives, as I remember ; this meeting is often if 
not moſtly hept in filence, yet ſeveral have been con-

THOMAS CHALKLEY. 285 


next morning a meſſenger was ſent for me from London: 
thus having fach a favourable opportunity of return- 
ing home, I embraced it, and went on ſecond day to 
J/itham, where I again met with ua Toft, and 
Tſeph Hobſon at meeting; from thence we went to 


Plaifow, where we had a meeting, and then went to 


Bromley, near Boao, and was at Joſeph Olive's, had a 
meeting with his people and ſervants, which were 
many; I thought it was a good meeting, a Divine 
hand of love was reached out to the young people, 
and they were adviſed to give upthe ir hearts to their 
Creator intheir youthful days; ſeveral ſcores of people 


belong to his family; after this meeting 1 went to 


London, and prepared for the voyage. M hen our 
yellel was loaded, which was chicfly by [frael Pentber- 
ton the younger, who went with us, as did our owner 
Stephen Payton, and {ſanc Brown, and four of my 
kinsfolks, whoſe namesare Freeman, with divers other 
paſlengers: in the latter end of the twelfth month, 
my brother ard his eldeſt daughter. Rebecca, with her 
husband Sammel Theenton, accompanied me to Graveſ- 
end, where our parting with them was, as at Edmor- 
ton, very ſolemn and ſorrowful, we never expect- 
ing to ſee one another any more. From Graveſend we 


Jail'a the zd of rhe. firſt mouth to the Docuns, and 


from thence down the Byitij» channel to the fea, 
and was at ſea above nine weeks, which we thought 
long, having many contrary winds; but, after we 
came on ſhore, we underſtood, that there were divers 
veſſels that were much longer. Ar ſea we haddivers 
meetings, which were ſome of them to my ſatisfacti⸗ 
on. I came very unwell on board; but, when at ſea, 
i mended; for which favour I am truly thankfal, 
We landed all well and in health at Philadelphia, in 
the third month, 1736, where we were receiv'd with 
oy dy our relations, friends and acquaintance; it 
was much the more ſo, becauſe they had heard I was 
like to die; I having, at London, had a {ore fit of

next enteß meſſenger was ſent for me from London: 
thus having ſuch a favourable opportunity of return- 
ing home, Jembraced it, and went on ſecond day to 
Witham, where I again met with Jejbna Toft, and 
ehh Hobſon at meeting; from thence we went to 


Plaifoww, where we had a meeting, and then went to 


Bromlej,. near Boaw, and was at Joſeph Olfve's, had a 
meeting with bis people and ſervants, which Were 
many; I thought it was a good meeting, a Divine 
hand of love was reached out to the young people, 
and they were adviſed to give upthe ir hearts to their 
Creator intheir youthful days; ſeveral ſcoresof people 
belong to his family; after this meeting I went to 
London, and prepared for the voyage. M hen our 
veliel was loaded, which was chiefly by Hat Pember- 
tm the younger, who went with us, as did our owner 
Stephen Payton, and [ſaac Brown, and four of my 
&insfolks, whoſe namesare Freeman, with divers other 
paſſengers: in the latter end of the twelfth month, 
my brother and his eldeſt daughter Rebecca, with her 
husband Samuel Thornton, accompanied me to Graveſ- 
end, where our parting with them was, as at Edmor- 
ion, very ſolemn and ſorrowful, we never expect- 
ing to ſee one another any more. From Graveſend we 
jJail'd the zd of the firſt mouth to the Docuns, and 
from thence down the By#zip channel to the ſea, 
and was at ſea above nine weeks, which we thought 
long, having many contrary winds ; but, after we 
came on ſhore, we underſtood, that there were divers 
veſſels that were much longer. Ar ſea we had divers 
meetings, w hich were ſome of them ro my ſatisfacti⸗ 
on. I came very unwell on board; but, when at ſea, 
i mended; for which favour I am truly thankful. 
We landed all well and in health at Philadelphia, in 
the third month, 1736, where we werereceiy'd with 
Py by our relations, friends and acquaintance; it 
was much the more ſo, becauſe they had heard I was 
like to die; I having, at London, had a ſore fit of

her children by blood and marriage to the fo: irth ge-

ſeventh- day following, at which were many young 
people; for whoſe ſakes I was drawn and moved, in 
my exerciſe of the ministry, to ſhew tlie riſe and de 
ſign of our meetings of diſcipline. 
« Firf, That the ſame power that gathered us to 
be a people, inclined our elders to eſtabliſh those 
meetings, and ſettle them in molt parts be we 
were gathered, and had meetings tor the worthip 
God: 
e Secondly, They were advifed to do their butin _ 
and ſpeak to their own affairs, inthe ſenſe ofthe ſa 
power, ſpirit and wiſdom, of Chriſt, which, as i- 
had raiſed us, would, as we kept to it, preſerve 
be a people to the praiſe of God's holy name. 
« Thirdly, They were adviſed, in doing their buſfi- 
neſs, not to run out into many unneſſary words, w hich

little purpoſe; religious affairs being done beſt in 4 
. meek and quiet ſpirit, that being of great price evith the 
Lord ; great evils having been known in many ages, 
thro' hot and long contentions about religion. Ir is 
afo good to avoid, in matters of difference, reſpect 
ol perſons, on account of being acquainted or related, 
ſo as to be ſway d thereby from juſtice. 

« Fourthly, They were adviſed to be very care ful in 
giving any juſt occaſion of offenceto any, ro Jeep or 
Gentile, to Indian or Negroe; for, wo to them, ſays 
our Saviour, by hom offences come; and if any will. 
take offence when none juſtly is given, *ris the beſt 
way to be patient, and taxe our Saviour for our ex- 
ample, who got the victory thro' ſuffering; a ſafe 
way, and glorions inthe end. And as to few words, 
the apoſtle ſays, Let your <vords be feav and ſavoury, 
ſeaſon'd with grace, that they may aaminifier grace to the 
beavers. 

« Fifthly, I was engaged, for the fakes of the youth 
of both ſexcs, to ſhew them, that a natural part of 
the ſervice of theſc meetings, is, that care be taken 
therein to fee that perſons are clear of prior engage- 
ments or entanglements, in relation to marriage, and 
that they had conſent of parents, or parties con- 
cerned as guardians, G*. and, alfo, that they, and 
all that belongroour ſociety, walk orderly in conver- 
lation, otherwiſe they could not be in unity with us, 
or owned by us, as lociety of religious people: we 
don't own ſcandalous perſons, nor admit them to be 

arried amongſt us, without acknowledging their 
faults, and promiſing amendment for the future, 
through divine grace and aſſiſtance. Alſo in theſe. 
meetings, the widov/s and fatherleſs are taken care of 1 
that they may be ſupported and viſited, and youths' 4 9200 
put our apprentices to learn trades, & . WE +: 

This meeting concluded with ſupplication for the US hi 
riſing generation, and for the king, and all his ſub- 
ets, and with thankſgiving and praiſes to the ſacred 
name of him who lives for ever, Ang.

by how much they fer theit: hearts and affections on

me being well known and well beloved; the next day 
was at an appointed meeting at Portſmouth, which 
Was large and to ſatisfaction. for which we bleſled the 
holy name of God. I had divers good opportunities 
at Rhode land in private families, and was Al ſeveral 


meetings over the beach at Jahn faſton'o, ho was a-

= opportunity to declare the truth of Chriſt at the 
uſe of Richard Haller, among ſeveral of his ſober 
neighbours; next morning being the icyenth of the 
week, we went to Zeſt Cheſter, to a yearly meeting. 


'v hich was much crowded, and che people very unſer- 


tied, ſo that it w as not fo ſatisfattory as coul have been 
deſired, after mee ting we went over again to Long 
land, and then to Neau- York, where we had a large quiet 
meeting in the evening. At New-Tort, third day 
in the morning divers dear and loving friends accom- 
panied us to the water-fide, where we ſolemnly too 
leave of one another in the love of Chriſt, and in the 
fellow ſhip of his goſpel, ſome of us not expecting to 
ſeeachother any more, and fromthencepathng over 
Lon and Staten lands, to Hligabeth- totun, we travelled 
to Raway, and had a mecting at friend SbatevetF's 
on a fourth day in the evening, where many neig h- 
bours came in, and after meeting a certain perſon was 
diſſatisfied about womens public ſpeaking in religious 
meetings (Raſe Tibbets, having publicly exhorted them 
in this meeting to be religious, and to fear God, and 
having pray d to God for us all, and praiſed his holy 
name) which ſaid perion deſired we would endeavour 
to ſatisfy him about it, inſomuchas rhe apoſtle Pa for- 
bad it, as heapprehended, To which it was anſwered, 
that the apoſtle Paul, only forbid, or did not permit 
forward or overbuſy women, to ſpeak or ask queſtions 
in the church; but, adviſed themro ask their husbands 
at home, and that doubtleſs he never intended to debar 
inch godly women, who had a real neceflity laid on 


them, and were concerned, by the Almighty, to ſpeak. : 


unto, or pray for the people, elſe he would not have 
ſew'd them, how they ought to behave themſelves in 
their ſpeaking unto, or pray ing for che people or 
church; for if he hadany deſigu to hinder ſuch, whom 
the Almghty ſhould concern, then he muſt have con- 
tradicted himſelf (where he ſne s how they muſt be- 
lavethemſelves in their duty of ſpeaking or pray ng)

From Raway, we went to FFovdlbridpe, where we 
had a meeting, and there I. parted with mv fellow 


travellers, having a concern (though much in the 


croſs to my own will) to go back in the woods, i 4 
meeting about eight dr nine miles off; which mecting 
was much to: mine and their ſatisfaction, as divers of 
them expreſſed. From this place I went to Sion 
brook, had a pretty large meeting, conſidering it 4 
rainy, in the time of the meeting's gathering. Ar this 
place my ſon in law Iſaac Brown, with ſeveral tende, 
game to meet me, whom [. was glad to ſee, and wen! 
after meeting with.them ro Penton, and next du to, 
Briſtol, it being the third day meeting, yrhich was 


large, and after meeting went heme to Frori/ore, 


and there was lovingly, received by my wife and fa- 
mily. In this journey. I was from home three month 
and nine days, had fifty five meetings, and travelled 
by land and water above a thouſand miles; and! 
may truly ſay, that therein JI was favoured with the 
divine preſence and grace of God by Chritt ina good 
degree, and alſo with the fellowſhip of many ſincere 
belie vers in him, which. in my return cauſed my tou! 
to bleſs his holy name, who lives for ever. 

In the 6th month, after having had divers mect- 
mgs at and about home, I went to Darby, Cbeſter aud 
Neewcaftle,' having meetings at each place, WHO h was 
wo the tendering of ſome mournful ſouls, and to the 
comforting and ſtrengthning them. From Nerve 
I terricd over Delacuare river to Pennjneck, w herd L.

to third day meeting, and ſtaid till next firſt day 
meeting, which {tao* ſmall, by reaſon of rainy tops 
my, weather) was a, very precious meeting. After 
þ acgocured fone. affairs at Coban, I returned 
to Krlem, where I met with my fellow-trayellex 
filijah Collins, of Haſton, wh whom I went on to 
Pbiladeſnbia, and from thence home; having muck 
farisfacbion in this journey, in which I had nine meet» 
ings, and rravelled about 159 miles. I cannot be clear 
in my mind . without. ſaying, : that I did not, nor da 
not ſtudy what I preach to the people, nor did I, o 
do I receive any pay or natural conſideration fos 
preaching ; it being, as I really believe, contrarꝝ ta 
the doctrine of Chriſt, and his apoſtles and diſciples 
Tais fall I vifired ſeyeralof the meetings of friends 
in Bucks county, and the meatiugs at and about homey 
w at Franifort, Philadelphia, 2 ington, Bybury and 
Cemmantotun. In the ninth month I was appointed, 
with ſeveral other friends, by our monthly meeting: 

to viſic the families of friends in Philadelphia; m. 
lot was to viſit the upper: part of the city, in em- 
panty with Phehe Aforvis, Hannah Parvrock, and Daniel 
Stanton ; in which ſervice we were of one heart and 
mind, and we performed ſaid ſervice in pure -ſeife 
dental, and in the croſs of our holy Lord JeſusChriltz 

and wonderful it was, how the preſence and goods, 
nels of God went with us from houſe to houſe, and 
opened the Rates and conditions of the families to us 
o the rendering of many Hearts, both of parents, and 
of thoir children. We viſited about forty families of 
aur friends, and the winter ſetting in, and I betag bu 
weakly, having had a ſharpſpell of the fever, we, by, 

zonſent, were willing to defer the concluſion of this 
work, until longer days Ke warmer weather. 3 ;

In this month I was ſent to, in order to be ar the 
burial of the wife of Richard Smith, junior: ſhe was 
2 virtuous woman, and well beloved, at wil fu 
neral were many of her neighbours and friends: it wa; 
a very ſolemn time, in which meeting, it as defir'd 
that thoſe who had loft their parents would live ſo, 
that they might not be a diſhonour to thera ; for it 
was obſery'd of fome children, after their parent: were 
dead, they grew worſe than when they were alive, 
taking undue liberties, which their fathers and mo- 
thers could not have allowed of, which was a ſore 
grief, and trouble to their friends, and ſuch as with'd 
them well; therefore they were exhorted nor to do 
that now, when their parents were dead, which che p 
would not have done it they wereliving, which would 
be heavy on them, and tend to bring a blaſt on them 
in this world; and they were deſired to counſider 
how they would anſwer it in the world to come. 


It was alſo obſery'd, that ſometimes the death of 


parents had a good effect on divers ſober young people, 
ey being thereby led more ſeriouſly to think on theiv 
own mortality, and to eenfider che great loſs of their 
careful and religious fathers and mothers, and the 
good example and counſel they gave them. This 
meeting concluded with a ſolid weighty frame of mind 
in many. From Burlington I went io A.ownt-bolly, 
had a large meeting at the meeting houſe, and another 
in the evening at A/ornt-holly rown, at the houſe of 
Thomas Shinn ; both which. were open meetings, and: 
divers people, not of our proteſſion, were there, who 
were well ſatisfied therewith: From Aounj-holly I 
went to Eveſham and Cheſter, as alſo to Haddon feld, at 
all which places I had large meetings, and then I went 
back again to Burlington, and was at their fifth day 
meeting. From Burlington, 1 went with Richard Smith, 
Caleb Raper and Jonathan Wright, to viſit a friend 
who was ſick, after which the ſaid friends accompa- 
nied me to the ferry; after I was over the ferry [

{ was thankful. In the fore part of the tenth month 
dur worthy friend, Fobn Fethergill ſailed in the bri- 
gantine Joſeph, Ralph Loftus, maſter, for Barbados, 
he having made a third viſit to America from Europe 
on a religious account, Bis vifit was acceptable and 
terviceable, and we parted in great love and tender- 
neſs; the night before, about the eleventh hour, 
was an carthquake, which was the greateſt known in 


this province; the whole city of Philadelphia being 


ſhaken, and moſt part of the adjacent proyinces, tho 
little or no damage done thereby, which ſhews the 
abundant mercy of a merciful God; as alſo, if it 
were the pleaſure of his will, how ſoon he can lay 
cities and countries waſte and deſolate, and bury 
thonfands in a moment ; but. notwithſtanding the 
mighty power of the eternal Jehovah, oh how hard 
are the peoples hearts, and how they hate to be re- 
formed, and how unconcerned are the inhabitants 
of the land about their eternal peace and well-being ! 
This is really lamentable ; ob J a carthly mind - 
ednels, pride, covetouſneſs, and drunkenneſs, abound, 
with many other eyils, which were ſcarcely known 
among the firſt ſettlers of this peaceful, and now 
plentiful land of Pennſylvania. 

The 26th of the rwelfih month (being the firſt day 
of the week) was buried at Merion, Edward ones, 
aged about ninety-two years, he was one of the firſt 
ſettlers of Pennhyluania, and was a man much given 
to hoſpitality, a lover of good and virtuous people, 
and was likewiſe beloved by them. There were many 
hundreds of people at his funeral. I had a concern 
$0 be at this meeting before I left my place at Frank- 
fort, and before I heard of this friend's deceaſe. 

The beginning of the firſt month (being the fifth 
of the week) I was ſent to, in order to be at the bu- 
rial of Hannah, the wife of John Hickle, at Newtown, 
in et- Jerſey: my kinſman, Daniel Stanton, was

flime, my heart was broken into tenderneſs wil. 
many otliers. - This deceaſed friend was much be 
loved by her friends and neighbours, and there vas 
much mourning among her relations at her grave, a. 
Mong whom ſhe was greatly mifled. The people 
vere defired earneſtly to prepare for their kitier cri, 
and final change, I that, as we had all reato:: t 
hope it was well with our deccaſed friend, we might 
Ukewiſe have a well grounded hope that it wou h 
well with ourſelves, when we came to put off gur 
mortaſity, and put on immortality. The mciing 
ended with fervent ſupplication for our furvre „c- 
doing and well being both here and hereafter, and 
praiſe to the Moſt High, who is alone worthy tor 
T.. Tao oy 
As ſoon as I returned to Philadelpbia, on the {ith 
day of the week J heard of the death of Fe Re 
Bride, at frac] Pemberton's, who told me, I was deſired 
tw be at is burial.” He, his fon, and Hllizm Logan, 
accompanied me as far as Samuel Bunt ine s that uiter- 
noon, with which journey I was excecdingly tired, fo 
that I could hardly Rand or go when I alighted ot my 
horſe ; but being refreſhed with a good night's rett, { 
went in the morning to the houſe of my deceated 
friend. There was a multitude of people at the 
burial, among whom we had a good opportunicy i& 
invite them to lay hold ' of truth and rightecouſrcts, 
and prepare for another world. They were reminded, 
that neither natural v iſdum, nor riches, youth nor 
ſtrength, crowns nor {ceprers, would ner could le: 
Eure them from the ftroke of death. Rebert ſerdun 
was at this meeting, and had good ſervice therein; 
it concluded in ſuppli ation for the widow aud fa

the dead by the Divine power, was largely opened to 
the people, and that the fame power maſt be wit- 
ne ſicd to reform our lives, and give us the true fa- 
ving faith and cnowiedge of God the Father, andChrift

This month, at out general ſpring- meeting, I ac- 
zuainted friends that I had a defire once more to fee 
my friends 1 V ginia, Maryland, and ort h Carolina, if 


health and ſtrengch did permit, and Divine Providence 
favoured, I not having yet fully recover'd my former 


health and frengrh, to which the meeting conſented. 

The latter ena of the firſt month I was at the bu- 
rial of Robert Ian, of Nori hai ales; he was upwards 
of fourſcore years of age, and one of the firſt ſertlers 
there. A man who lived and died in the love If 
God and his neighboure, of hom, I believe it might 
de truly ſaid, as our de e {aid of Natl angel; Be- 
hold an Ifraelite | indeed, in w hom there ts no guile.” the 
was a miniſter of Chriſt, full of divine and religious 
matter. In this month I was at Fair-bill, at a me cering 
appointed for Ruth Courtney, and Sufannab E Hudſon, Who 


were on a religious vitit from Ireland, to fr 1cnds in 


this and the adjac dent provinces; it was a good meeting, 
the friends ſpeaking to the Rate thereof, 

The beginning of the ſecoud month, I went over 
Ido, and ſo to Ghanſy, intending home before 
ſet out for my journey to the ſouthward ; but my 
affairs not anſivering to come home, aud afre erwards 
to reach the yearly meeting of friends at Ii t. ver, 
the which I propoſed to our general- NESUING 3 ; 1 now

ceed to e- river meeting, it ſaving me much time 
and riding, and after having been at ſeveral meet:

and at a meeting at Files groe; being accompanied

we had a meeting, but by reaſon of the wet wot! 


it was but ſroall; thence we travelled to Cecil meet 55 
and ſo on to Cheſter, where we had a meeting on ft. 
day, then to Queen Ann's county, and back from 

thence to Newtown, on Cheſter river, at which town 

we had a large ſatisfactory meeting ; in which it wa; 
me en that no good chriſtian might or could break che 
moral part of the Jaw, for it (faith the apoſtle) ;; 
4 — fo bring to Chriſt, and that thoſe who 
come to the goſpel of Chi iſt, can in no wiſe break the 
leaſt commandment of God. As for example, the 
law ſaĩth thou ſhalt not forſw ear thy iclf, but if a man 

(according to Chriſt's goſpel) {wears not at all, then 
that man cannot forſwear himſelf. Again the Jaw 
aich, Thou ſhalt love thy neightaur and hate thine 
enemy ; but Chriſt ſays, Love your enemies, the 
which if we do, there is no doubt but we ſhall love 
our neighbours. Again, the law ſays, Thou (batt 
not commit adultery ; but if according to the doctrine 
and goſpel of Chriſt, a man doth not look on a wo- 
man with a Infiful eye, there is no danger of com- 
mitting adulter / with her, Sc. Thoſe things were 
largely ſpoke to and opened in the meeting, and the 
people {there being many not of our ſociety) were 
very attentive and ſober, and the good hand of the 

imighry was amongſt us in the meeting. From 


_ Cheſter river, we croſied Cheſapeak bay, to the yearly- 


meeting at H eft-river, with Cheſter friends in // ian 
Thomas's boat, and ſent cur horſes over by Aent-//lar:d

ters friends, with hearts full of love, and eyes full of 
tears, as rever expecting to ſee one another again. 1 
with my companion and Armiger Trotter (who came up 
with the friends from Virginia, to A eſt river) ſet 
out for Virginia, and having paſſed over Patuxent 
river, had a meeting among the family of the Plum- 
wer, one of whom, with another friend, accom- 
panicd us to the river:Potomack ; we rode as near 
a3 we could compute 1t ſixty miles that day, I being 
heavy and aged, ard the weather hot, was very muctz 


tired, and laid down in my cloaths all that night and 


the next morning ferried over the river Potomack, 
compured about three milesover, and parted with our 
uides. When over this river, we travelled about fif- 
teen miles to I illiani Duff's had a meeting there, and 
from thence to a meeting of friends at eh Cheagle's, 
and ſo on to Black- creeł, had a meeting there, and 
then went to the monthly meeting of Sands on the 
weſt- ſide of James-river, and ſo to HUliam Lad's, 
after which we went to the monthly meeting of friends 
at Nanſemond river, and from thence to Carelina, and 
on a firſt day had a large meeting at a new meeting - 
houſe built ro accommodate the yearly meeting ; it was 
good, ſolid meeting, and there thefriendsappointed 
for us the meetings following. Third day of the 
week, being the 13th ot the fourth month, at 7 
hb Barrow's, fourth day at Faceb Butler's, fifth 
day at Samuel Newby's, ſixth day and firſt day as 
the upper meeting houſe at Little-river, and third- 
day at the lower meeting houſe on ſaid river, and 
fourth day at Poſbotanck-river, and fifth day at mos True- 
blood's up Poſpotanc &-river, and then we went to the 
quarterly meeting of frierds in Nortb-Carclina, which 
was very large; the people were exhorted toovercome 
fin as Chriſt overcame, that they might fit with him 
in his kingdom, as he overcame, and is ſet down in 


the kingdom of God his Father; that ſubject was 
largely ſpoken to that day, and we had a good op-

In the cone luſion thereof, I told them, "Dlut [ came

own will, with reſpect to my. age, and the heat of

From Carolina we travelled into Virginia (Zac hariab 
Nulſea accompanying us) and bad a meeting at the 
widow Newby's, and from. thence had a megting at 
Nas ſemond, and ſo ro the Branch, where we had a 
very large meeting; many people were there not uf 
our ſociety, and were very attentive and ſober ; and 
next day, being the ſecond day of the week, we had 
2 ſatisfactory. mecting at Hennet's-creet, and thence 
to Gutkatuek, and ſo on to Raſper-veck, and then t

we traveiled to I illiam Duff's (John, and another 
friend, going with us) and had A meeting at their 
meeting houſe, and afterwards / illiam went 1 us 
over Potomack river, as far as Pifcataway Mary- 
land ; this river is compated to be near ft our lice 0 
ver, and when about the middle, there was a large 
{well in the river, fo that our horſes could not fand, 
and the motion of the boat made them fall do 
and the bout having much water in it, being very 
leaky, ſhe was near overſetting; they in the boar 
were in ſome conceru andconfterr ation, ſaying, when 
we came to the ſhore, that they did not remember 
they were ever before In the like danger ; and I ap- 
prehended we were in danger, and if the boat had 
dverſe ty in all likelihood, we might all have been 
drown'd ; and I then thought I was in the ſervice of 
Chrift, my great Maſter; and I alſo knew, I muft 
die, and It \oughr 1 mi; Ahr as well die in his ſervice 
as my own ; ſo I gave up my re for Chriſt's ſake; 
and he gave it to me again. Oh! may I, with all thoſe 
who ſincerely love | him, ſerve him truly all our days, 
is my defire! ., + 
From Piſcataway we travell'd to Patuxent, to the 
wth of the Plummers, who were ten ſons of one 
father and mother, who were convinced about the 
time I firſt had mectings in thoſe parts, and fo far ag 
Tknow, they axe all ſabes men. After this meeting 
e ent to Gerrard Hopbins's and from thence to Pa- 


71 had a large meeting, the houſe. being full be- 


fore the frien Wig came, ſo char Bey were. hard ſet to 
get in; to me it was a good, uable opportunity, 
as w © our next in the Fired 25 Gunpowder river 3 
where friends have built a new meeting-houſe, which, 
at this time, could not contain the people: from 
Gunpowder river we went to Huſb river, Had a good;

dence with the native Indians, giving them no oc- 
caſion of offence; they being a cruel and merclicſs 
enemy, where they think they are wronged or de- 
frauded of their righr, as woful experience hath 
taught, in Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, and e- 
ſpecially in Neeu- England, &c. And, 


Secondly, As nature hath given them, and their 
fore-fathers, the poſſeſſion of this continent of me- 
rica (or this wilderneſs) they have a natural right 
thereto injuſtice and equity; and no people, according 
to the law of nature and juſtice, or our own prin- 
ciple, which is according to the glorious goſpel of 
our dear and haly Lord ſeſus Chriſt, ought ro take 
away, or ſettle on other mens lands or rights wich- 
out conſent, or purchaſiug the fame, by agree- 
ment of the parties concerned; which, I ſuppoſe, in 
your caſe, is not yet done. 

Thirdly, Therefore my counſel and chriſtian ad- 
vice to you, is (my dear friends) That the moſt 
reputable among you, do, with ſpeed, endeavour to 
agree with and purchaſe your lands of the native 


Indians or inhabitants: take example of our wor- 
thy and honourable late proprietor, H#illiam Penn ; 
who, by his wiſe and religious care, in that relatt- 
on, hath ſettled a laſting peace and commerce with 
the natives, and, through his prudent manage- 
ment therein, hath been inftrumental to plant in 
peace, one of the moſt flouriſhing provinces in the 
world. | 

Fourthly, And who would run the riſque of the 
lives of their wives and children, for the ſparingd a 
little coft and pains? I am concerned to lay thoſe 
things before you, under an uncommon exerciſe of 
mind, that your new and flouriſhing, little ſettle- 
ment, might not be laid waſte, and (if the providence 
of the Almighty doth not intervene) ſome of the blood 
ef yourſelves, wives or children, be ſhed and ſpilt on 
the ground, | .

After my return from this journey, I ſtaid much at 


PS 

YO home that winter, travelling now being hard for me, 

ent jo that I could not perform hard journies as formerly, 

no being more broken in the long and hard travelling in 

ns, this journey, than in divers vears before 

lie In the year 1739, I took ſeveral ſhort or leſter 

In- journies, and had many meetings in divers places, as 

Ot in Salem and Burlinatan counties, in Vet Jerſey, and 

ed Philadelphia, Cheſter and Buchs counties, in Pennſelva- 

nd nia, having many large and comfortable mectungs, 

led and ſome ſatis factor ſervice in divers of them.

ne, peaceably ; but the crown of Spain tor complying 14 
"ut with the terms agreed on for an accommodation, iN 
Doe therefore war wasproclamed ; which occaſioned much i 
in- diſturbance and diſtraction in our little peaceable pro- 1

ereek, | went to Little-creek meeting, and fo proceeded 
to the Hother-xiils, where I had a large, open time in 
preaching the goſpel to the people, which divers of 
chem received with gladneſs; and there were many 
not of our ſociety, who were very ſober and antentive, 
a door being open among them; yet, notw irliſtanding 
there may be much openneſs bothin ſpeakers and hcar-

many are convinced, but few converted and com: tobe 
regenerated or born again, as our Saviour tauglu. 
From M#other-kilis I went back to Little-cre:k to 
Timothy Hanſon's he accompanying me, and from Jo- 
8/y's I went to Duc l- crecł, and from thence to bo- 
guinamy to the burial of a friend's fon, who died of 
che ſmatl-pox; on which occaſion we had a ſolid 
meeting, the monrnful relations being thankful for 
our company. From Addoquinamy I went to Joi x 
 AGooll's, and from thence to Newcaſtle ; where we 
had a large, open meeting, to the ſatisfaction of di- 
vers; though I was very weakly and poorly, as ro my 
health, ſo rhat it was hard for me to ſtoop to take a 
ny thing from the ground, and with difficulty I wal k-

of the meeting bey ond my expectation, was, with 
divers others, truly thankful to God the Father, and 
Chrift, my Lord and Saviour. 
From Newcaſtle I went to Vilmington, had a mect-

THOMAS CHALK LEY: ang 


next day we had a are wherein the evil conſe- 
quence of forſaking 
was ſpoke to, 1 at it would be a great hurt to the 
young and riſing generation, aud the mſelves alſo; be- 
ing a bad example to them, and contrary to the ad- 
vice and couniel of the holy apoltle, Net to forſake 
the aſjernbli no of ourſelwes togeil er, as the manner of ſome is. 

From Kennet I went te Concord to the burial ot 
Benjamin Merdinhall, where we had a large and ſolid 
meeting, ſeveral lively teſtimonies being borne there- 
in: this friend was a worthy elder, and a fervice- 
able man in our ſociety, and one of the farſt or 
early ſettlers in Pennſylvania , a man given to hoſpi- 
tality, and a good example to his family, and hath. 
left divers hopeful children ſurvivir 5 him. 

The night before this meeting 1 lodged at the 
widow G. lein $, whole hushand, Joſe 2 Gilpin, Was 
lately deceaſed : there was true chriſt in love and 
friendſhip between us for above fifty years. When 
nrſt I faw Jeſeßh in Pennſylvania, he lived in a cave 
in the earth, » he re we enjoved cach others com- 
any in the love and fear of God. This friend 
Jad fifteen children, whom he lived to ſee brought 
up to the ſtates of men and women, and all but two 
married well, and to his mind. 

From Cncord J went to 1 In ington, and from 
thence after meeting to Newcaftle, where I, with 
George Hogg, went over the river Del into 
Penn's neck, and had a meeting at James ii ilon's; 
from Pern's-neck we went to Salem,” and thence to 
Cobanſy, where I had ſeveral meetings at Greenwich 
and at the head of Allorvay's creek, alſo at David 
Davis's, where the people kindly lent us the benches 
of their meeting houſe, and many of them came them- 
ſelves, and were very attentive; atrer Which went to 
Pileſgrove, and had a meet ing there :, and from thence 
to oodberry-creek, and ſo to G. ovcefter, where I fer- 
ried over Delaware to Philadelphia, and from thence

next day down to Salem, in order for the yearly-

greve meeting, afterwards into Pexn's-neck, and had 
a good open meeting at the widow Hun bas, and ſo 
to ¶ vodberry creo meeting, which, I hope, was ſer- 
viceable; after which I went home with my friend 
James Lord's widow ; who, with her ſiſter Ann (vo-

He told me, he hoped he had, and was willing to die. 
He was recommended to the grace ot God, and to 
keep in an humble frame of mind, and beg mercy of 


the Almighty, for the ſake of Chriſt, for all bis fins, | 


While a friend was praying by him, he was broken 
into tenderneſs.

bout 150 miles; but travelling was painful ro my bo- 
dy; for I now more and more felt the effects of ma- 
ny old falls and bruiſes, which much diſabled and 
hurt me in riding. 
In the fourth month I was at divers meetings a- 
bout or near home, as at Fatr-hill, Germantown, and 
at a meeting at Thomas Robert's; alſo was at Philadel- 
pbia meeting. In the beginning of the fifth month, 
viſited friends meetings at Darby, Mierion, and Ha- 
ve rford; at the laſt place the meeting was large, and 
very open: wherein the mighty power of God was 
exalted over all, and it was plainly manifeſted, that 
if there was any virtue, or any geod gift or genius 
in the creature, it derived its excellency from the 
Creator; and that man, in his beſt capacity, in either 
natural or ſpiritual attainments, hath no cauſe to 
boaſt or glory in any thing or things, which he, as 
an inſtrument in the Divine hand, might help to do 
or perform; wherefors we ought to humble our- 
ſelves under the mighty hand of God, attributin 
noglory toſelf, or the creature; but all glory and — 
to the Creator, who is in and over all blefled forever. 
The 20th of the fifth month, I ſet forward on 
journey, in order to vifit friends at and near Bur- 
ling ton, and was next day at a meeting at Briſtol, 
which was large, conſidering the heat of the weather, 
and the ſhortneſs of the notice; next day, being 
the fourth day of the week, and the twenry- ſecond 
of the month, I was at Aownt-bolly, at the burial of 
our antient friend, Reftored Lippincoat : he was, as J 
underſtood, near an hundred years of age,” and had 
two hundred children, grand children, and great 
grand children, many ot whom were at his funeral; 
the meeting was large, and thought to be a ſerviceable 
meeting by divers. After this meeting, I went with 
a te choice friends to viſit Suſarnah Fearon, who 
had been long ill; in which viſit we were favoured 
with the Divine Preſence and goodneſs of the Moſt 
5 STE High: 


317 The JOURNAL gf 


High; for which we returned him thanks and praiſe, 
After which we went to Burlington, and next day 
had a meeting, which was an acceptable opportunity 
to many. | 
Next firſt day, being the 25th of the month, we 
had a good, ſolid meeting at Trenton ; from thence 1 
went, with divers friends to Hriſtol, and ſo home tc 
Frankfort , and was thankful to the Almighty for the 
grace which he was pleaſed to beſtow upon me, a 
poor worm; and that, conſidering the extream heat, 
I had my health better than uſual. After coming 
home, I viſited divers mectings, at Philadelphia, Had. 
donfield,” Frankfort, &c. . ; 
Ia the ſixth month there was a great mortality in 
Philadelphia, and many were taken away; on a hfth 
day, I was concerned to put the people in mind of tr, 
and of their own mortality, and exhorted them to 
prepare for it, they not knowing whoſe turnit mialit 
be next, nor the hour when death might come to 
their own habitations; and was concerned, in the 
ſame nature, at ſeveral large burials; in the meeting 
at Philadelphia, they were told it was better to fall in- 
to the hands of the Lord, than into the hands of 
men; and chat ſince we had been ſettled in this Pro- 
vince of Pennſyloania, we were preſerved from tha 
Hands of men; there having never been an enemy in 
it, in a Warlike way; our dependance being on Pro- 
vidence, and our principle againſt war, and againit 
fpilling of human blood by wars and fighting, ac- 
cording to the doctrine of Chriſt, the peaccable Savi- 
our; wherefore I believe the hand of God was mani- 
feſted in preſerving us in peaze': yet I would nor be 
under ſtood to be againſt the magiſtrates exerciſing the 
power committed to them, according to juſt law; 
bur national wars, woful experience reacheth, are de- 
Kractive to the peaceable religion of Jeſus, ro trade, 
wealth, health and happineſs. Our dear Lord preach's 
peace to the people, and againſt wars; telling his

enemies, and rather take a ſtroke or a blow, than giv®© 
one; and that they ſhould not reſiſt evil; which 
peaceable doctrine of Chriſt, the eus could not away 
with ; no, no, by no means; O, ſay they, I <ve let 
this man alone, the Romans will come and take amy ou 
Mace and nation: juſt as the people now ſay iu this 
province, among and to thoſe peaceabie men, who, 
for the ſake of Chriſt and his doctrine, cannot uſe the 
ſword; * The Romans will come and take our coun- 
try, if we don't build forts and caſtles, and have mi- 
litary preparations: and I wiſh it were not true, that 
ſome; who profeſs this peaceable principle, too mucli 
endeavour to ſmother, ſtifle and keep under, this 
peaceable doctrine, through a laviſh fear, and roo 


much diſtruſting of the Divine Providence, which may 


cauſe the Divine Hand to deliver us to rhe Ramans in- 
deed; at which I ſhould not wonder, ſince we diftruſt 
that Divine Hand, that hath hitherto preſerved us, 
without our preparing for war, above theſe fifty 
years. To which I know that it is objeCted ; “ But 
now there are abundance of people whoare not of that 
principle.“ I anſwer, Then why did they come among 
us, if rhey could not truſt themſelveswitk our princi- 
ples, which they knew or might have known, if they 
would? The king gave the province, and the go- 
vernment of it to our worthy proprictor, WIILIAN 
PENN; who was 2 man of this peaceable principle; 
for which the Heathens loved him, and honour his 
name and memory to this day, and thoſe of his ſociety 
and principles; whereof I ama living witneſs. The 
ſenſe of the ſweetneſs and ſoalal life that the firſt ſer- 
tlers ofthe province of Pennſylvania andthe City of Phi- 
ladelphia liv'd in, makes meexpreſs myſelf in this man- 


ner. Oh! that the inhabitants of the city and coun- 


try, did but live and dwell in that firſt love, and hold

On the laſt day of the fifth month, 1 acquainted 
my friends of the monthly meeting of Philadeipbia, 
with a concern I had been ſome time under, to viſir 
the people in the / 5977 iſlands, and more particular! y 


in Anguilla and Tortola ; in order to preach the goſpel 


of our Lord Jeſus Chriſt freely, ro thoſe who might 
have a defire to hear, as the Lord ſhould be pleas”, 
ro open my way : and my friends having uniry 
with me therein, at their next meeting, gave me a 
certificate of their concurrence : Soon after which. 
having ſettled my affairs, and taken leave of my 
dear wife and daughter, and the reſt of my family 
and friends, on the 19th day of the ſeventh month, 
{embarked at P hiladolplua, in the ſioop hr, Petey 
Blumer walter, bound for the iſland of Tortola. 

We ſail'd down the river, and came to an anchor 
near Obriſtine creek that night, in which there was » 
violent ſtorm, Which drove ſeveral veſtels on ths

walk round them. Next day we fail'd to Reecy- 
Man, where we waited for a fair wind: we ſail'd 
down the bay (in company with two ſloops, onc 
bound for Bermudas, the other for the if}and of Gri- 
Fopher's) und left the Capes on the 23d day of the: 
month, and in 18 days from that time, fell in with 
the Wand of Thorns, and in one day more turn'd up 
#0 7orrola. | | 

In this voyage we faw nine ſail of veſſels ; but 
poke with none of them: had a rough paſſage, the 
wind being high and contrary above a week, and 
much rain; yer, thro' the mercy and grace of God, 
I was preſerved abort all fear, except the holy fear 
ef the living Lord, in which I bleſy'd his holy name.

water fide, and lovingly embraced me, and led me 
up to their houſe, and, the ſame evening had a 
meeting at his houſe ; an on the 15th of the months 
being the fifth day of the week, we had a large, ſa- 
tisfactory meeting, at which were many people, di- 


vers of them not of our profeſhon, and, I think, the 


good hand of the Lord was with us. I was concern- 
ed in this meeting to ſhew, That the laſt diſpenſation 
of God to mankind, in and through his dear Son, 
was a ſpiritual diſpenſation ; a diſpenſation of pure, 
divine love, which is to laſt and be with the true be- 
lievers in Chriſt for ever, according to his own doc- 
trine in the new teſtament. 


On the firit day of the week, and the 18th of the. 


month, we had another meeting, larger than the for- 
mer (and the governor told me, he had never ſeen ſo 
large a gathering on the iſland, on any occaſion) my 
ſptrit was muc! ſet at liberty in this meeting, and 
great openneſs and brokenneſs was among tlie people, 
to that the goſpel was freely and largely declared to 
them. The caſe of Cornelius, and of the apoſtle 
Petey going to his houſe, was treated of, with divers 
other matters, rending to edification. E was fb af- 
feed with the power, ſpirit and graceof our Lord 
JeſusChriſt, that when the meeting wasover, F with= 
grew, and, in private, pour'd out my foul before the 
Lord, and begged that he would de pleaſed to mani- 
fet his power and glorious goſpel more and more: 
At this meeting there was a woman who had ſuffered 
much for her going to meetings; her husband being 
a proud, haughty man, had beat her to the drawing 
of blood; he alſo drew his ſword, and preſented his 
piſtol with threatnings to kill her; but ſhe thanked 
God, that ſhe was reſign'd to loſe her life for Chrilt's 
ke : this woman exprefied ſome words in ſupplica- 
tion in this meeting, in a broken manner. There 


was alſo another (a beautiful young woman whoſe a- 


ther had turn'd her our of doors for coming to friends 


mectings. | 1

few families up in the mountains, and had a mee 


ing, in which was creatbrokenneſs and tenderneſꝭ in 
the time of prayer. 

On ſecond day we viſited ſeveral families 3 in the di 
yiſton called the Road, to which we went by water in 
a Coble (ſome-W hat like our canoes) there. were four 
of theſe in company, five per ſons in two of them, and 

ſeven in the other two. 15 this viſiting of families 

the people came and filled the rooms, and we bad 
ſeaſovable meetings, in which the people were ſo * 
ing, and well- affected, that we could ſeldom go in 
friendly way to viſit our friends, but they would pre: 
ſently fill their little rooms, and we ſcarcely could de. 
part without having a time of worſhip

Fifth day, bcing the week day meeting, it was 
larger than was ever:known of a week day at that 
place; there being divers friends who came from an 
iſland called Jr. Fardike's, and many neighbours 
and ſober people, who were very attentive. | 
Sixth day, was at ſeveral peoples houſes, and had 
religious meetings; . which we could not well avoid, 
the people were fo loving and defirous to hear what 
might be ſpoken to them; they being many of them 
ike thirſtyj ground, wanting rain, and our good and 
gracious Lord gave us celeſtial ſhowers, which were 


refreſhing to us, and thankfully received. 


Seventh day, I went, with ſeveral friends, to the 
houſe of one who, with his wite, had been at our 
meeting on fifth day, he kindly invited me to his 
houſe ; his name was Flake ; he and his wife were 
loving; though he had formerly wrote againſt friends, 
he was now better informed. From his houſe I wenr 
to Townſhend Biſhop's, and be ing many friends there 
From another iſland, we had a moſt comfortable, ten- 
der evening- meeting, in which we offered up an e- 
vening ſacrifice of high praiſes and thankſgiving to 


' the holy name of the living eternal God, and his 


dear Son our Lord and Saviour JeſusChriſt; rhroug! 


the influence of the Holy Spiric, one God over all, 


bleſſed for ever. And, ; 5 : 

On the firſt day of the week, being the 25th of 
the month, we had a larger meeting than ordinary; 
and, in expectation of larger meetings than uſual, the 
governor, Fohn Pickerixrg, had made ſeveral new 
forms to accommodate the people at his on houte, 


which he ſent ſix miles on mens heads, the roads 
not being paſſable for carriage by carts, ec. This 


I think worth noting, that their zeal may be had in 


remembrance, and that others may be ftirr'4 up to a 


more religious concern, who will ſcarce go {tx ſteps to 
a religious meeting, or will not go at all. In this 


meeting I was concern'd to ſpeak of and fer fortliche

On third day, he was employed chiefly in writing 
to his family and friends in Philadelphia. | 
On fourth day, ſome friends from the Road came 
to ſee him, which prevented his going out to viſit du 

neighbours, as uſual. 

On fifth day morning, being 29th of the eighth 
month, he found himſelf much indiſpoſed; yet he 
went to our week day meeting, about a quarter of a 
mile. When the meeting broke up, he had a hot 
ſever on him : doctor Turnbull (the chief phy ſiciatt 
ia our iſland) thought i it proper to take ſome blood 
from him, and he being very willing, it was done that 
afternoon, and the fever abated ſome time that night; 
and the next day he walked about, and made no com- 
plaint until about eight o clock in the evening; a- 
bout which time the fever returned, and Eres 
very ſevere till firſt day morning; when the doctor 
adviſed him to take a vomit, which he declined that 
day, being deſirous of attending the meeting; Rich 
was held at my: houſe, and was a large, ſweet and 
tender meeting; in which he ſpoke to us firſt cans 
cerniug tempta ations, and how Chrilt was tempted, 


and how tb wirhſtand them '; and afterwards on the 


parablę ofthe great ſupper, and other ſubjects; end- 
ing his teſtimony with the words of the apoſtle Paw, ＋

this laſt ſermon, vs delivered in great brokenneſs; 
from whence J judged that he was ſenſible he had 
not long to live, -tho', I believe, he was not affraid 
to die. £ 
On ſecond: day morn, the avs abated a little, 
and he complied wick the doctor's preſcription. of 
taking a vomit, which ſeemed to have its proper ef- 
fect; but that night the fever returned, and con- 
tinued on him until he died; which was between

fourth day of the niath, being ſpeechleſs about ſeven 
hours before. | 


A general invitation wasgivento friends and others 
to his funeral; where three teſtimonies were borne, 
all in great brokenneſs, under a juſt ſenſe of our 
great loſs. After which he was decently interred on 
the evening of the ſame day, in a piece of ground 
which is ſince given to friends for a burial place, and 
on which a meeting- houſe is built by Joh? Pickering, 
the governor of rhe iſland at that time. N 

It is fald in che ſcriptures, that tbe righteous are 
faren away, and no man layeth it to heart; but, I 
hope it may be truly ſaid; this was not the caſe at 
enls time; for friends, in general, mach lamented 


= thelr great dofs, in being ſo ſoon deprived of ſo in- 


ſtruckive a friend and elder, whoſe care over us was 


-very-great; and who by. his loving and exemplary 
Ale, and tenderneſs to people of all ranks and profeſ- 
"Hons, engaged the love and reſpect of moſt of the 


nie in the itland, We are fully aſſured, that his 
abour among us was not in yain, and that many 


= have. felt ehe good effects of it; ſo that we believe 

dine of the gan words he expreſſed in public, may, 

iy be apply d co him, and that he now enjoys. &
