On Monday a servant of a tallowchandler in Clare-Market was
committed to the compter of the following occasion. This
fellow was one of the enthusiastic followers of Whitefield;
among whose campaign audience one day accidentally seeing a
young lady, of good fortune, living not far from St. Paul's,
he took it in his head to fall in love with her; . . . [5
lines] He pretended to have a divine commission, that the
lord had sent him on the errand, and that God had ordain'd
the lady to be his wife; but not producing any credentials,
his bare word could not be taken, and he was look'd upon as
an impostor. On his admission to the poultry he chaunted to
the 100th Psalm.
