When he was about the age of 4 or five years he would try to go to his Lady mother that he might hear somewhat of God. [???] even from a child being asked [???] course of life he best liked to follow whether to be a lawyer, a courteour or country gentleman he [???] any surer [???] he would be a minister of Jesus Christ from [???] some of his friends (for [???] sake] would seem to [dissuade] him as being to mean an employment for a gentleman, telling him it [???] hated, disliked, & [???] he would reply, it was no matter for that; for if the crowed [?] hated him, yet God would love him.'
