--He ask'd me how it was with me? if I was not almost
starv'd? I burst out a crying, and told him I was indeed. He said his
master suppos'd so, and that he wanted to speak with me, and I must
return with him. This Gentleman's name was _Danniel_, he was a sincere,
good Christian. He used to stand and talk with me frequently when I
work'd in the road for Mr. _Handbarrar_, and would have employed me
himself, if I had wanted work.--When I came to his house he told me that
he had thought a good deal about me of late, and was apprehensive that I
must be in want, and could not be satisfied till he sent to enquire
after me. I made known my distress to him, at which he was greatly
affected; and generously gave me a guinea; and promis'd to be kind to me
in future. I could not help exclaiming. _O the boundless mercies of my
God!_ I pray'd unto Him, and He has heard me; I trusted in Him and He
has preserv'd me: where shall I begin to praise Him, or how shall I love
Him enough?
I went immediately and bought some bread and cheese and coal and carried
it home.
