Some that before were very rough in their Temper and Manners, seem to be remarkably fo••ed and sweetened. And some have had their Souls exceedingly filled, and overwhelmed with Light, Love, and Comfort, long since the Work of God has ceased to be so remarkably carried on in a general way: and some have had much greater Experiences of this nature than they had before. And there is still a great deal of religious Conversation continued in the Town, amongst young and old; a religious Disposition appears to be still maintained amongst our People, by their upholding frequent private religious Meetings; and all Sorts are generally worshipping God at such Meetings, on Sabbath Nights, and in the Evening after our public Lecture. Many Children in the Town do still keep up such Meetings among themselves. I know of no one young •••son in the Town that has returned to former ways of Looseness and Extravagancy in any respect; but we still remain a reformed People, and God has evidently made us a new People.
