But  stop,  my  fancy  !  stay  thy  soul  on  God,  who  can  give  peace  even
on  the  raging  ocean.  To  him,  and  him  alone  would  I  look  for  comfort,  and
not  to  objects  which  are  so  transient.  My  lot  appears  to  be  in  a  peculiar
sphere,  and  I  hope  in  love  and  mercy  the  Master  will  enable  me  to  fill  it
with  patience  and  submission.
We  left  Cornwall  on  Saturday  morning,  and  proceeded  on  our  way  to
the  city  of  New  York.  We  made  such  progress  that  we  got  within  fifteen
or  sixteen  miles  of  the  city  that  night,  and  put  up  at  a  public  house,  where
we  were  much  disturbed  by  some  town's  people,  Avho,  I  believe,  did  it  on
purpose,  on  the  account  of  our  appearance.  O  that  they  may  be  made
sensible  of  the  duty  they  owe  to  themselves,  their  God,  and  their  neighbors.
