its greatest height in this town in the former
part of the spring, in March and April. At that time God's work in the
conversion of souls was carried on amongst us in so wonderful a manner,
that, so far as I can judge, it appears to have been at the rate at
least of four persons in a day; or near thirty in a week, take one with
another, for five or six weeks together. When God in so remarkable a
manner took the work into His own hands, there was as much done in a day
or two, as at ordinary times, with all endeavors that men can use, and

they should be apt to think so; and, for this reason, I have forborne to
publish an account of this great work of God, though I have often been
solicited. But having now a special call to give an account of it, upon
mature consideration I thought it might not be beside my duty to declare
this amazing work, as it appeared to me to be indeed divine, and to
conceal no part of the glory of it; leaving it with God to take care of
the credit of His own work, and running the venture of any censorious
thoughts, which might be entertained of me to my disadvantage. That
distant persons may be under as great advantage as may be to judge for
themselves of this matter, I would be a little more large and
particular.
