 in humble dependanceon th^ Divine blessing, the prekcher endea^

 Ti^K truth of ^his encouraging portion of Scripture wa/atun- 
 dantly exemplified ia the case oRthe once unhl^py nian,;of 
 wnom it novf remains for me to gi^e jrou a short accfriiht. ^ 
 
 John JENMY'was bom at Nottingham, on the 9th of January, 
 179S.' His father dying at an early period of his life, he be- 
 ^^"we w>lely dependant on his mother ; and from a letter of heis, 
 which ^he showed to me in his confinement, it is evident that she 
 had taken some considerable pains to lead hinj ta a 4ue atten- 
 tion to religion and propriety of conduct. She there ch^ges 
 hiin to remember the many infitrutstions he had received, and 
 the egrjy vows he had made « before the sacred altar of God " 
 
 When m his native land, however, notwithstanding his mo- 
 tner 8 admonitions, he was led astray by loose cpmpany and in- 
 towcaUoo ; which so unsettled his mind from the business to 
 
 b*°ij. ? ..*/ apprenticed him, that he resolved to enter upon 
 a Soldiers life; and, though only sixteen years of age, enlisted 
 into the 2d Battalion of H. M. 73d RegimeDj, «nf was trans- 
 ferred into the Ist Battalion, in 1811. ' ..<'?4? ^-p. ;- 
 
 The saine causes which Operated to bi*ig^^#iiii©^i^y, 
 continued to ^flue«:e him afterwards, and procured him the 
 merited, character of an unsteady, dissolute, bad man. The 
 foundation of all this was his inclination for evlT Company and 
 intoxication ; as he himself assured me; and added^ "Oh, Sir 
 warn my comrades against bad company and drunkenness. It 
 wasthat which began my ruin." His ^vi I propensities often in, 
 VOlvedhiwin trouble ; at which times of distress he was not 
 wi^outaeriqus thoughts«f hi»«wftil condition, and resolutions 
 L^VT "'^J'^®- But thtesfeMlUtary impressions wore.offfttim 
 forfeWoIneM; and the mfluence qftemptation led him to break 
 hM resolutiona as often as he had made them.
