 acquainted with ome of the people called Methodits, and was by them peruaded to embrace their ect.

At her return to the Ile of Man, he oon made an eay convert of Molly Hamilton, the warmth of whoe dipoition rendered her uceptible enough of Enthuiam, and ready to receive all thoe impreions which her friend the Methodit endeavoured to make on her mind.

Thee two young women became now ineparable companions, and at length bed-fellows: For Molly Hamilton was prevail’d on to leave her mother’s houe, and to reide entirely with Mrs. Johnon, whoe fortune was not thought inconiderabie in that cheap country.

Young Mrs. Hamilton began to conceive a very great affection for her friend, which perhaps was not returned with equal faith by the other. However Mrs. Hamilton declares her love, or rather friendhip, was totally innocent, till the temptations of Johnon firt led her atray. This latter was, it eems, no novice in impurity, which, as he confes’d, he had learnt and often practiced at Britol with her methoditical iters.

As Molly Hamilton was extremely warm in her inclinations, and as thoe inclinations were o violently attached to Mrs. Johnon, it would not have been difficult for a les artful woman, in the mot private hours, to turn the ardour of enthuiatic devotion into a different kind of flame.

Their converation, therefore, oon became in the highet manner criminal, and tranactions not fit to be mention’d pat between them.

They had not long carried on this wicked crime before Mrs. Johnon was again called by her affairs to viit Britol, and her friend was prevail’d on to accompany her thither. Rh
