hendered a short time in looking for a suitable place for Baptizing a man by the name of Pitt came to us filled with the Devil & wrath at the head of a mob & commanded us not to be Baptized in that river & threatened us much if we did so. Elder Richard Preached to Mr Pitt & warned him to repent & be Baptized or he could not be saved. But the Devel raged to such a degree in this man & his company we thought it wisdom to omit it on this occasion. We did so & retired & went our way, with this wicked man & the rest of the mob follow- ing us shouting, hooting, & yelling as though a part of hell at least had broke loose. the Saints were strengthened seeing that they were not of the world but the world hated them & we also went our way rejoicing that we were counting worthy to partake of thes things. We clensed our feet by the way side as a testimony against Mr Pitt for rejecting our testimony, & forbiding, & hindering, others from Entering into the kingdom of God. may the will of God be done conserning that man, I pray that we may ever be reconciled to his will in all things
