end—_that_ part of the public, who were prejudiced, and who never took
the trouble to search into the business, but guided by bare hear-say,
these have been satisfied, that I have, in their opinion, met with my
deserts; but _those_, who best know about the affair, will _never_ be
satisfied with the cruelty I have experienced.
_I am_ satisfied that it was all divinely appointed, that it has taught
me many important lessons, and has produced the fruits of righteousness
to the glory of God. The _Congregation_ is satisfied with my return to
them, in hopes of being more blest than they were before, by subjects of
truth, learnt in the school of deep affliction. _Neighbours_ around, who
esteem me as a neighbour, are satisfied with my return, and my _Family_
particularly share in the satisfaction. Thus, I hope, as all have
satisfaction, the matter of eleven years contention is at an end.
While I pray daily for grace to walk as becometh the gospel of Christ, in
holiness and righteousness, as an evidence of being delivered from my
enemies, and from the hand of those who unjustly hate me, that while they
intended me evil, God meant it unto good.
