At this time he met with great opposition, and was sorely persecuted by the Universalists, Dunkards, and Catholics. We made him up some money to buy him some clothes, and sent it to him, but he paid the money out for flooring boards. He then went into the forest, and cut down pine trees, and hewed them with his own hands - next, borrowed a yoke of exen, and hauled them together; finally, he called the neighbors to raise the house, which he covered with shingles, made with his own hands. He built his pulpit - cout out the doors and windows - bought him boards and made seats. He then have notice that the meeting house was ready, and if the people would come together he would preach to them.
