Its neither a Methodie, nor a Papish, nor Parsbetyrian, that he is, but just nothing at all; and its hard to think that he, who will not fight the good fight, under the banners of a riglar church, in this world, will be mustered among the chosen in heaven, as my husband, the captain there, as ye call him, says though there is but one captain that I know, who desarves the name.

"And never let me hear of thy being the devil's deputy again. We'll have no papish mummery at Greenwood." The servant sullenly stooped, picked up the slip of ivory without a word, and turned to leave the room. But as he reached the door, Philemon found tongue.
