Juve been here five days ; and I luve fpent
rnuch of my time in rambling :1bout the city,
and fpying out the curiof1ties. I am highly
delighted with New-York . The Luildings :1rc
far fuperior to tho~e of Bofi:on, and the flrccts
wider, and better paved. Broad-way is confidered the moll elegant. It really excited m,y
admiration . . But it will not do for me, who
have feen fo little of the world, to make comparifons. I ha,ve reafon to f peak well of th ~

The lall Sabbath, I attended worfhip in one
of the large!l meeting houfes in the city; and
heard the Rev. Dr.-_ !?reach. The audi~nce was very numerous ; and I was fl:ruck
-with their folemnity. The fermon was a very
ferious one, and, according to my judgment,
delive~ed remarkably well. The fubjet.t was
tJ1e importance·of early piety; and the fpeak~
~r ~ddrelfe_d the youth in a moil feefoig man,
ner ; '• .

ne1 ; and fhowcd the neceffity of repentance of
our fins, and faith in the Saviour. This, he
faid, was the only fore foundation for a pious
life, and a peaceful death.

they lived feveral years. - Then, in the yc ;i, r f1xteen

was very cold. They were a hundred a1i<l one in mimber, when they b.11ded ; but before
