There was also the last Spring and Summer a wonderful Work of God carried on at Coventry under the Ministry of the Rev. Mr. Meacham: I had opportunity to converse with some of Coventry People, who gave me a very remarkable Account of the surprising Change that appeared in the most rude and vicious Persons there. The like was also very great at the same time in a Part of Lebanon, called the Crank, where the Rev. Mr. Wheelock, a young Gentleman is lately settled: And there has been much of the same at Durham, under the Ministry of the Rev. Mr. Chancy; and to appearance no small Ingathering of Souls there And likewise amongst many of the young People in the first Precinct in Stratford, under the Ministry of the Rev. Mr. Gould; ⟨p. 14⟩where the Work was much promoted by the remarkable Conversion of a young Woman that had been a great Company-Keeper, as it was here.

Something of this Work appeared in several other Towns in those Parts, as I was informed when I was there, the last Fall. And we have since been acquainted with something very remarkable of this nature at another Parish in Stratford called Ripton, under the pastoral Care of the Rev. Mr. Mills. And there was a considerable Revival of Religion last Summer at NewHaven old Town, as I was once and again informed by the Rev. Mr. Noyes the Minister there, and by others: And by a Letter which I very lately received from Mr Noyes, and also by Information we have had otherwise, this flourishing of Religion still continues, and has lately much increased: Mr. Noyes writes, that many this Summer have been added to the Church, and particularly mentions several young Persons that belong to the principal Families of that Town.
