no small ingathering of souls there. Likewise amongst many
of the young people in the first precinct in Stratford, under the
ministry of the Rev. Mr. Gould; where the work was much promoted by the
remarkable conversion of a young woman who had been a great
company-keeper, as it was here.
Something of this work appeared in several others 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. 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
other ways. 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.
There has been a degree of the same work at a part of Guildford; and
very considerable at Mansfield, under the ministry of the Rev. Mr.
Eleazar Williams; and an unusual religious concern at Tolland; and
something of it at Hebron, and Bolton. There was also no small effusion
of the Spirit of God in the north parish in Preston, in the eastern part
of Connecticut, of which I was informed, and saw something, when I was
the last autumn at the house, and in the congreg
of the young people in the first precinct in Stratford, under the
ministry of the Rev. Mr. Gould; where the work was much promoted by the
