Parish, all of whom are dead, except one Son, who is now living, and as his unhappy Father says, is a very sober, industrious Youth. He told me, that he constantly attended the publick Worship of God, while he was in tollerable Circumstances; that he often went to the establish'd Church, and frequently to Dissenting Meetings, having an Inclination to the Presbyterian Perswasion. He was very Lame in his Feet, which he said was occasion'd by an Illness which seized him some Years ago; the Consequence of which was, that he could never wear any Shoes, but always walk'd with a thick Bundle of Rags tyed under the Soles of his Feet, and with a Stick in each Hand. His Wife died about eight Years ago, and after her Death he fell into extreme Poverty and Want, sometimes supporting himself by mending old Shoes, and when he had nothing else to do, he begg'd Charity in the Streets.
