The next morning this brother was moved to remember the Orphans, and to send today 10l., which arrived after I had left my house, and which on account of our need was forwarded immediately to me. Thus I was enabled to give 6l. 10s. for housekeeping, and to put by 3l. 10s. for rent.
This morning 1l. was given to me which had been sent from Trowbridge, and this afternoon a brother who came from Scotland gave me 10l., and brought the following trinkets which were sent by a lady from Scotland: 2 clasps, a ring, 2 pairs of ear-rings, a slide, a pin, a cross, and 2 bracelets, all of gold. In the afternoon came in 3l. by sale of articles. Sept. 12. The Lord has sent in still more.
There came in altogether 3l. 9s. 6d. May 22. Several small donations enabled us to supply the necessities of the last four days. When this day commenced, however, there was again not a penny in hand. But my eyes were directed to the Lord, and therefore my heart was at peace; I was fully assured that He would help this day also.
It. to Thurston, my cook, 6l. 13s. 4d. It. to William Body, my servant, 6l. 13s. 4d. It. to Peter Mewtas, my servant, 6l. 13s. 4d. It. to Ric. Sleysh, my servant, 6l. 13s. 4d. It. to George Wilkinson, my servant, 6l. 13s. 4d. It. to my friend, Thomas Alvard, 10l., and my best gelding. It. to my friend, Thomas Bush, 10l. It. to my servant, John Hynde, my horsekeeper, 3l. 6s. 8d. Item.
The carpenter, our model idler, who won't work and can't work, receives 3l. per mens., when $8 should be the utmost; we cleared him out on return to Axim. Meanwhile he saunters about under an umbrella, and is always missing when wanted for work. Our companions and body-guards are Bianco and Nero, both bought by Cameron at L'pool for a suspiciously trifling sum.
It is a place of considerable antiquity; and was originally written Legheart, and in old Latin, Laga, i.e. a place which lies sheltered. "The manor was held of Edward the Confessor by Alwin. William the Conqueror gave it to his half-brother, Odo, bishop of Baieux, and Earl of Kent, of whom it was held by Walter de Donay." In the time of the Confessor, it was valued at 3l. and in Domesday at 100s.
Adorable Lord, grant that this may be a fresh encouragement to me. Aug. 23. Today I was again without one single penny, when 3l. was sent from Clapham, with a box of new clothes for the Orphans. Aug. 29. Today sixteen believers were baptized. Of all the baptisms which we have had, this was, perhaps, the most remarkable.
But before the day was over, the Lord helped still further. In the afternoon a gentleman from Bath called at the Boys-Orphan-House, and gave a cheque for 3l. There was also 1s. given; 2s. 6d. came in for needle-work, and 5s. 6d. for things sold. Thus altogether 4l. 4s. 9d. has been sent by the Lord this day. Nov. 17. Saturday.
Bolzius permission to erect ten sheds, with clay furnaces, at an expense of not more than 2l. each, and ten machines for reeling, at thirty shillings each, which he says could be made better than those at Savannah for 3l.; they also sent them ten basins, and the good Germans felt the impulse of this substantial encouragement.
To dine eight persons, worth 1l, 8s. 6d., for 7s. 3d.; to dine twelve, worth 1l. 18s. 6d., for 10s. 11½d.; to dine sixteen, worth 3l. 19s. 6d., for 19s. 9¼d.; and so on, at the same rate, to any size which the epicurean habits of this convivial age can possibly require. Space will not permit us here to give the bill entire, but after this fashion was it framed.
