"Our Brother _Andrew_ was one of the black hearers of _George Liele,"_ of whom an account was given before; and was hopefully converted by his preaching from chapter III. of St. John's Gospel, and a clause of verse 7, _Ye must be born again_; prior to the departure of _George Liele_ for Jamaica, he came up from Tybee River, where departing vessels frequently lay ready for sea, and baptized our Brother _Andrew_, with a wench of the name _Hagar_, both belonging to _Jonathan Bryan_, Esq.; these were the last performances of our Brother _George Liele_ in this quarter. About eight or nine months after his departure, _Andrew_ began to exhort his black hearers, with a few whites. Edward Davis, Esq.; indulged him and his hearers to erect a rough building on his land at _Yamacraw_, in the suburbs of Savannah for a place of worship, of which they have been very artfully dispossessed. In this their beginning of worship they had frequent interruptions from the whites; as it was at a time that a number of blacks had absconded, and some had been taken away by the British. This was a plausible excuse for their wickedness in their interruptions. The whites grew more and more inveterate; taking numbers of them before magistrates--they were imprisoned and whipped. _Sampson_, a brother of _Andrew_, belonging to the same master, was converted about a year after him, and continued with him in all their persecutions, and does until now. These, with many others, were twice imprisoned, and about _fifty_ were severely whipped, particularly _Andrew, who was cut and bled abundantly_, while he was under their lashes; Brother _Hambleton_ says, he held up his hand, and told his persecutors that he rejoiced not only to be whipped, but _would freely suffer death for the cause of Jesus Christ_. "The chief justice _Henry Osborne_, Esq.; _James Habersham_, Esq.;[1] and _David Montague_, Esq.; were their examinants, and released them. Their kind _master_ also interceded for them; and was much affected and grieved at their punishment." Brother _Hambleton_ was also an advocate for them; and further says, that at one of their examinations _George Walton_, Esq.; spoke freely in favour of the sufferers, saying, that such treatment would be condemned even among barbarians. "The chief justice _Osborne_ then gave them liberty to continue their worship between sunrising and sun set; and their indulgent _master_ told the magistrate, that he would give them the liberty of his own _house or his barn_, at a place called Brampton, about three miles from town, and that they should not be interrupted in their worship. In consequence hereof, they made use of their masters _barn_, where they had a number of hearers, with little or no interruption, for about two years. During the time of worship at Brampton Brother Thomas Burton, an elderly baptist preacher, paid them a visit, examined and baptized about _eighteen_ blacks: at another period
