an account of tfle author
He was frequently suspicious of his friends
where no good grounds for suspicion appear.
Again and again was he profoundly disturbed
by dreams, particularly when he saw himself
separated from his friends by water, although
measurably consoled by the absence of the
added sensation of having thereby wet his feet.
Lay-reading was an abomination in his eyes. He
looked with little favour upon what he styled
"New England men," among the clergy, who
had not, like himself and Mr. Honyman, had
the good fortune to be born in Great Britain
or Ireland; bequeathing his farm for the use
and support of bishops whose jurisdiction
should include the Narragansett Country, provided that at least the first three should have
been born or educated abroad,—a provision
which would have excluded all the bishops of
Rhode Island to the present moment.
At one time he records, with evident deprecation, as if derogatory to his dignity, that
"necessity compelled him to pitch hay."
His low estimation of all religious teachers outside his own church sometimes led him into
unseasonable remarks and occasionally into ill-
timed jocularity, rebounding upon himself.
There dwelt, not far from the Glebe House, a
humble Quaker, of poor natural abilities and
little or no education, but withal esteemed a
wonderful preacher. Of so small capacity that
he got his living by the most menial labour
