sayinf he was sir.iple and igno-^^nt, beguiled and led by others
171
laore subtle, he rvnswered: "If you thi.nk I rijr. ^inp.13'' beguiled

In the 8th month, 1669, the Qu^irterly neetings of Nevnoort
sent hin to Maryland fo-" t'^e first tijne. He sometines rode
o^K horseback, stovi-ing to hol'l neetings anoTig friends after-

accoi;int of his first voyage to Karyland. Jle says: ''It
