ABSTRACT
After Sancho’s departure, Dr. Homily had ordered his horse for his visit to Letitia, when two strangers, of very venerable appearance and manners, inquired for him, on particular business. They represented, ‘That they were from England; had settled in Boston with other British emigrants, to the amount of two hundred families; that they had quitted their native country from the same religious and political scruples as the Doctor’s, and proposed having a convenient place of worship, if they could, by the assistance of the well-affected, make a sufficient / collection; that hearing of his extraordinary munificence, and well-known principles, they had waited on him for his contribution.’
