the Devil, perverting that Text of Scripture, The Children of the Resurrection neither Marry, nor are given in Marriage; and they said they were the Children of the Resurrection; and indeed, as the Author of the Snake in the Grass has well observed; This Mad sort of Quakers, called Chase's Crew, did but consequentially practice, what the followers of George Fox held very generally in Principle, viz. that they were come already to the Resurrection, and had their vile Bodies already changed; so George Fox has expressly Taught in Print, in a Printed Treatise of his about the Supper, where he will have the Lord's Supper now to be only inward.

November 21, Sunday. I preached at Hampsted Church on Long-Island, on 1 Pet. 2. 9. and Lodged that Night at Isaac Smith's House, Four Miles distant from the Church, and there I Baptized a Young-Woman of his Family, and a Boy, and a Girl of his Relations, and a Neighbours Child, a Boy.

November 28, Sunday. I preached, at New-York on 1 Cor. 12. 13. and that Sermon also was Printed at New-York, at the desire of some who heard it, and contributed to the Charge of Printing it; and by the Blessing of God, both these printed Sermons have been serviceable to many in these American Parts, and to some also in England, to reclaim them from their erroneous Opinions about the two Sacraments, Baptism and the Lord's-Supper.

Mrs. Welch, with whom I lodged formerly, having been Sick and Weak all that time; but some time after it pleased God to restore her to Health.

During the most part of Winter, in the Year 1703. Mr. Talbot, by my free Consent, did travel in diverse other Parts in Pensilvania, West and EastJersey, Preaching and Baptizing many in those Parts where I was not with him. For the greater Service of God and his Church, we did oft travel separately, (being still one in Heart and Affection) and I had very good Friends that travelled with me in his Absence, to accompany me from place to place, in all those places where I travelled.

Mr. Talbot accompanied me from Philadelphia to Annapolis in Maryland, where with true Love and Affection, we did take our Farewell of one another, and he returned to serve God and his Church, as formerly, especially in Pensilvania, West and East-Jersey, where he was like to have the greatest Service and Success: And some time ago, the Right Reverend Henry, Lord Bishop of London, has writ to him to fix at Burlington, to be Minister of the Church there, where is now a large Congregation; and where, not long ago, there was little else but Quakerism or Heathenism.

April 26, 1704. I sailed down Maryland-Bay to Virginia, in Captain Pulman's Ship, who very kindly entertained me and Mr. John Barclay, my good Friend with me: He, in true Love and Affection, travelled with me from his dwelling House at Amboy in East-Jersey, to James-River in Virginia, and he staid with me until he saw me aboard the Ship, June 8. where we took our Farewell.

August 6. Having taken my Leave of Captain Evans at the Downs, I came aboard a Merchant-Ship, whose Commander was Captain James Thomas, and sailed in his Ship until we arrived into the Thames, about ten miles from London, being kindly entertained by him: And that Evening, being the 14th of August, I came to my Family in London, safe and well, notwithstanding of the false Prophecy of some of the Quakers, That I should never see England any more, after my Departure out of it, in April, 1702. The abovementioned Captain James Thomas, my good Friend, some Years ago came off from Quakerism (wherein he was educated) and his Wife also, and are come over to the Church. He was baptized above three Years ago, by the Reverend Mr. Stubs, in St. Alphage Church by Zion-College, whereof he is Minister; to whose Baptism I was one of the Witnesses.

Thus I have given an entire Journal of my two Years Missionary Travel and Service, on the Continent of North-America, betwixt Piscataway-River

in New-England, and Coretuck in North Carolina; of extent in Length about Eight hundred Miles; within which Bounds are Ten distinct Colonies and Governments, all under the Crown of England, viz. Piscataway, Boston, Rhod-Island, Connecticut, New-York, East and West-Jersey, Pensilvania, Maryland, Virginia, and North-Carolina.

I travelled twice over most of those Governments and Colonies, and I preached oft in many of them, particularly in Pensilvania, West and EastJersey, and New-York Provinces, where we continued longest, and found the greatest Occasion for our Service.

As concerning the Success of me, and my Fellow-Labourer Mr. John Talbot's Ministry, in the Places where we travelled, I shall not say much; yet it is necessary that something be said, to the Glory of God alone, to whom it belongs, and to the Encouragement of others, who may hereafter be imployed in the like Service.

In all the places where we travelled and preached, we found the People generally well affected to the Doctrine that we preached among them, and they did generally join with us decently in the Liturgy, and Publick Prayers, and Administration of the Holy Sacraments, after the Usage of the Church of England, as we had Occasion to use them.

And where Ministers were wanting, (as there were wanting in many Places) the People earnestly desired us to present their Request to the Honourable Society, to send Ministers unto them, which accordingly I have done and in answer to their Request, the Society has sent to such Places as seemed most to want, a considerable Number of Missionaries.

Beside the general Success we had, (praised be God for it) both in our Preaching, and much and frequent Conference with People of diverse Perswasions, many of which had been wholly Strangers to the Way of the Church of England; who, after they had observed it in the Public Prayers, and reading the Lessons out of the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, and the Manner of the Administration of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper, were greatly affected with it, and some of which declared their great Satisfaction and the Esteem they had of the Solemn and edifying manner of our Worship and Administration, far above whatever they could observe in other Ways of Worship known to them.

To many, our Ministry was as the sowing the Seed and Planting, who, probably, never so much as heard one orthodox Sermon preached to them, before we came and preached among them, who received the Word with Joy; and of whom we have good Hope, that they will be as the good Ground, That bringeth forth Fruit, some Thirty, some Sixty, and some an Hundred Fold. And to many others it was a Watering to what had been formerly Sown and Planted among them; some of the good Fruit whereof we did observe, to the Glory of God, and our great Comfort, while we were with them, even such Fruits of true Piety and good Lives, and sober and righteous Living, as prove the Trees to be good from which they did proceed.

Many or most of those who had born the Name of Separatist Quakers (for their leaving the Meetings of the Quakers, because of their Opposition to the great Fundamentals of the Christian Faith, and had embraced the Doctrine they heard preached by me, concerning the Way of Salvation by Faith in Jesus Christ, both God and Man, as he outwardly came in the Flesh,

died for our Sins, and rose again, &c. about the Years 1691 and 1692, and had set up distinct Meetings), we found had joined with the Church of England Congregation at Philadelphia, before our Arrival, when we came among them they received us with great Joy and Satisfaction to hear us preach what tended to their farther Confirmation in the Christian Faith, and in Communion with the Church of England. And they expressed the great Benefit they had received by my several Epistles I wrote to them from London, about the Years 1698 and 1699, to answer the Scruples and Objections some of them had made to me in some of their Letters, against joining with the Church of England, which they told me, gave them great Satisfaction, by the Blessing of God, to join with the Church, and with which they joined soon after. And the like Service my Epistles did to others of their Friends, in East and West-Jersey, and other Parts of that Country, to whom they had imparted them, at my Desire.

The Reverend Mr. Evan Evans, the Minister of the Church of England Congregation at Philadelphia, informed me, that (beside the considerable Number of Converts to the Church from Quakerism, that the former Minister, the Reverend Mr. Claiton had baptized) by his Account, since he was Minister there, he had baptized of Men, Women, and Children, in Pensilvania and West-Jersey, of English and Welsh, about Five hundred; many, or most of them, having been Quakers, and the Children of Quakers, and Quakerly affected; and beside these, many who had left Quakerism, and had joined to the Church, had been baptized in Infancy, not having been born of Quaker Parents.

Since our Arrival into those American Parts, by the Blessing of God upon our Labours among them, in Pensilvania, West and East-Jersey, and NewYork Province, there have been, by modest Computation, at least two hundred Persons baptized of Quakers, and their Children, and Servants, and of such who were Quakerly affected, by Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Evans, and by me, and some by the Reverend Mr. Vesey, Minister of New-York, in that Town. And beside these, many who had been baptized in Infancy, have come off from Quakerism and joined to the Church in these Countries, since t we travelled and preached among them, and had much Conference with diverse of them in private from House to House. Diverse also of Dissenters formerly disaffected to the Church, who were not Quakers, are become well affected to the Church, and her Publick way of Worship, and Administration of the holy Sacraments, as well as to the Truth of Her Doctrine, since our Labouring among them, both in East and West-Jersey, and else where; so that, God be Praised, almost in all these Countries where we Travelled and Laboured, in some of which there was little to be observed but Quakerism, or Heathenism, which are much one (and if we may believe some of the Quakers great Authors, they are altogether one, viz. the Religion of the Quakers, and of such Heathens, who were obedient to the Light within them, but without all Faith, and Knowledge of Christ, as he came in the Flesh). I say, in all these Countries almost, by the Blessing of God on our Labours, there are good Materials prepared for the Building of Churches, of living Stones, as soon as, by the good Providence of God, Ministers shall be sent among them, who have the discretion and due qualifications requisite to Build with them. The Truth of which some of the late Missionaries have
