Comptnions  and  I  halted,  in  order  to  reft  ourlclTe&
«  little.  We  were  no  fooner  feated,  when  a  good
Woman  (a  Widow)  came  up  to  us,  to  know  who
we  were,  and  to  enquire  into  our  Defigns.  We  in-
form'd  her  what  they  were ;  and  faid  that  wc  imtc
Servants  to  the  Sovereign  Ijxd  of  the  UoivcHe ;
that  we  came  to  bring  the  Inhabitants  of  that  City
acquainted  with  him  }  and  to  fhew  them  the  Way
to  Heaven,from  which  (wc  obfcrv*d)they  were  very
remote.  I  added,  that  if  any  PerTon  would  be  fa
kind,  as  to  aflSft  us  in  building  a  Temple  to  die  So-
vereign Lord  in  that  Place,  I  vnxild  make  (bme
flay  in  it;  and  afterwards  leave  certain  of  my  Difci*
pies  there,  to  teach  fuch  as  were  defirous  of  being
inflnided  in  our  Religion.  The  Widow  was
pleafed  with  the  Propofal,  and  immediately  oSeied
me  a  fmall  Houfe  belonging  ro  her,  but  ftandii^
out  of  the  City.  I  obferv*d,  that  if  we  liv*d  in  the
City,  we  Ibould  difcharge  our  feveral  Duties  with
greater  Convenience  to  ourfelves,  and  more  to  the
Advantage  of  the  Inhabitants.  She  r«)lied,  that  I
was  in  the  right ;  that  ftie  herielf  would  be  at  l^
Expence  of  the  Building ;  and  that,  a  few  Months
Gcmn  thence,  I  need  but  fend  feme  of  my  I^ple  to
her,  to  complete  the  Afiair.  I  thank'd  the  Widow
for  her  Good-will,  and  promis'd  to  let  her  hear
from  me.
