We visited JOSEPH WHITE'S Family, he being in _England_; and also a Family-sitting at the House of an Elder who bore us Company, and was at _Makefield_ on a First-day: At all which Times my Heart was truly thankful to the Lord, who was graciously pleased to renew his Loving-kindness to us, his poor Servants, uniting us together in his Work. CHAPTER VII _His Visit, in Company with_ SAMUEL EASTBURN, _to_ Long-Island, Rhode-Island, Boston, _etc. in_ New-England--_Remarks on the Slave-Trade at_ Newport, _and his Exercise on that Account; also on Lotteries_--_Some Observations on the Island of_ Nantucket Having, for some Time past, felt a Sympathy in my Mind with Friends Eastward, I opened my Concern in our Monthly-meeting; and, obtaining a Certificate, set forward on the seventeenth Day of the fourth Month, in the Year 1760, joining in Company, by a previous Agreement, with my beloved Friend, SAMUEL EASTBURN. We had Meetings at _Woodbridge_, _Rahaway_, and _Plainfield_; and were at their Monthly-meeting of Ministers and Elders in _Rahaway_. We laboured under some Discouragement; but, through the invisible Power of Truth, our Visit was made reviving to the Lowly-minded, with whom I felt a near Unity of Spirit, being much reduced in my Mind. We passed on and visited the chief of the Meetings on _Long-Island_. It was my Concern, from Day to Day, to say no more nor less than what the Spirit of Truth opened in me; being jealous over myself, lest I should speak any Thing to make my Testimony look agreeable to that Mind in People, which is not in pure Obedience to the Cross of Christ. The Spring of the Ministry was often low; and, through the subjecting Power of Truth, we were kept low with it; and from Place to Place, such whose Hearts were truly concerned for the Cause of Christ, appeared to be comforted in our Labours; and though it was in general a Time of Abasement of the Creature, yet, through his Goodness, who is a Helper of the Poor, we had some truly edifying Seasons, both in Meetings, and in Families where we tarried; and sometimes found Strength to labour earnestly with the Unfaithful, especially with those whose Station in Families, or in the Society, was such, that their Example had a powerful Tendency to open the Way for others to go aside from the Purity and Soundness of the blessed Truth. At _Jericho_, on _Long-Island_, I wrote Home as follows: _24th of the 4th Month, 1760._ "Dearly beloved Wife,--We are favoured with Health; have been at sundry Meetings in _East-Jersey_, and on this Island: My Mind hath been much in an inward watchful Frame since I left thee, greatly desiring that our Proceedings may be singly in the Will of our heavenly Father.
