oxes in my house 1l. 0s. 6d. Evening: I was able to supply
the matrons only with means for house-keeping for three or four days,
being fully assured, that, by the time more is needed, the Lord will

Sept. 24. Friday. After I had paid away on Tuesday evening to the last
penny what I had in hand for present use for the Orphans, there came in
a pair of ear-rings from Norwich; also 1s. 6d. besides. On Wednesday and
Thursday nothing came in; but it was needful that I should send more
means to the matrons today. Thus situated I received this morning from
Barnstaple. 19s. 4d. and 17s. About three hours after, came in by sale
of the 3 silver spoons (given on the 15th), an old silver punch ladle,
and a few trinkets lately given, 6l. 14s. 7d. Thus we are once more
helped, and I have been able to send all that which was yet needed for
house-keeping till Tuesday evening. The Lord be praised for His
seasonable help! --Observe, dear reader, we may be poor, very poor; we

about two days for provisions.

twice given myself especially to prayer for means, as we are now in so
much need.

Sept. 30. Nothing more having come in, we were in great need today. On
this account the boxes in the Orphan-Houses were opened, which contained

Oct. 2, Saturday. As today more money was needed, and nothing had come
