LIFE, CONFESSION, &c. ' 
 
 • a'A' 
 
 I WAS born in thei^riih of 8t, Mary Magdjden,!!! 
 the County of Surry, Engiand, My Father wag 
 of the to« bufinefs as myfclf, 4 Ihipwright j n»y niothij 
 crat the fainetifne having learned that of a Midwif% 
 thek joSm induftry and frugal way of Hving> in a feif 
 years put them rather above th« coaimanalty, At iki$ 
 period it plcafcd the Almighty to take my Father «? 
 way» i have evoi'y rcafon to believe to himfelf, juft as I 
 had attained my ibirreenth year. My inother'9 bufi* 
 ncfs incrcafmg with her experience, jny father's lofs, 
 with rcfpe^t to pecuniary matters, was not much fd*^ ? 
 accordingly I was kept a t fchool until my fourteet|t|i 
 year j-^aboul which time an uncle, a brother of my 
 mother's, came to town, from whom we had foirr eas- 
 peclations, he being a widower, and no family, poffcs^ 
 iing conilderabte property entirely at his own difpofalV 
 His mind was rather narrow and his tenrjper morofe-^ 
 his whole ft udy was to accumulate the hl:hy trafh of 
 this world, which at Jaft he muft leave behind him.r-s* 
 Shortly after his arrival, he fuggefted to my mother the 
 impropriety of keeping fuch a great boy, (for I was then 
 very ftout of my age,) running ^bout the iireet, for io 
 he termed it. But God knows I had very Uttle tin^ 
 for that, having to attend to two different fchools, from 
 feven in the morning uti til feven o-clyck in the evening 
 -^however he prevailed fo far witli my ipotl^^r, tj^atl 
 was taken from fchool. 
 
 Notwithftanding the repeated perfuafions of my 
 fch( ol niafters, to give me a couple of years more fchool- 
 ing, as }t would be of more benefit to me, than all the 
 jrett. I had learned ; but it availed not, an4i was given 
 to underiland that I iriuft quickly ^i^akc: choice of* 
 trade, tha^ ji fuitable mafter might be obtained before my 
 ungle left towp. So eafily does the tra£h of this w<Mrld 
 blind the eycg pf people even of a good underftanding } 
 Ibr my mojhef III all other refpe&, was a woman ol 
 liron£f ientiments. added to a crood c^mmnn educatinM«: 
 
I was not brig in determining^ cKoib that of piy fa- 
 thers ; this at fim Was ftVpnuoufTj^op^jEffed by i^y ^oxh- 
 €r, as a Idboreous ^pd dangerous J^iilinefs. Here again 
 my uncle gained his point, by rcprcfenting the ^dv^n- 
 tagcs my fat her derived frbtit the bufmeCs, niy h^akli 
 iod ftreng^h, that my 'mother gave way, and I wa^ 
 homd apprentice ^t <5ui|dhaU, to one of tpy fs^thera old! 
 Iteafters. Nothing ^naterial happened during my ap- 
 ferenticeftiip worth here r^lattng-r^fuffi^c it that 1 fcrv- 
 ftiiny fev^n years out Ivith credit, and recei^vcd the 
 freedom of the ci|y of London as a T^«*3ir^.' 
 
 At this tinte it was pea^c with alt nations ; our bu&-

 if ever wt fell in with a BritiQi man of-^ar, to find m0,
