On The Day, Therefore, When I Went

Some Of The Priests From The Seminary Were In The Nunnery Every Day And Night, And Often Several At A Time.

I Really Believed That The Priests Were Acquainted With My Thoughts; And Often Stood In Great Awe Of Them. They Often Told Me They Had Power To Strike Me Dead At Any Moment.

On The Day, Therefore, When I Went To The Church To Be Confirmed, With A Number Of Others, I Suffered Extremely From The Reproaches Of My Conscience.

I Have, I Think, Afforded Every Opportunity That Could Be Reasonably Expected, To Judge Of My Credibility.

A Number Of Girls Of My Acquaintance Went To School To The Nuns Of The Congregational Nunnery, Or Sisters Of Charity, As They Are Sometimes Called.
