(1) I met with a man upontheromthat told me the Swanwasthebesthouse in the town, and nearest to friend Elwal's. I light there, drank a glass of wine with him, and then went to Elwal's house, where I found that he was at Bristol fair. His son Sion was there, and showed me up to his chamber, where he had Russia cloth, Coin Bow. I had some talk with his wife, who told me that her husband Elwall was but twenty-two when he married her; that he was a Churchman, but a Presbyterian when he married her; that she was a Presby terian, and she went to the Presbyterian meetings still; that he and she were baptised in the river Severn by a Baptist minister as he had told us at Chester, that one Mr. John Hays of this town had first put the notion of the Trinity being so and so into Elwal's head; that a philosophical meeting as she called it, a club of gentlemen who called themselves Seekers, who met at the Black Bull in Wood street, desired Elwal's company; thattheywere Dsistswho called themselves by that name, and would have had her husband to be one.
