While I was in London I fell into Acquaintance with a sober, godly, understanding Apprentice of Mr. Philemon Stephens the Bookseller, whose Name was Humphrey Blunden (who is since turned an extraordinary Chemist, and got Jacob Behem his Books translated and printed), whom I very much loved, and who by his Consolatory Letters and Directions for Books, did afterwards do me the Offices of an useful Friend.
