Hard work
“Let a person accustomed to sleep ’til 8 in the morning rise the first week in April at a Quarter before 8, the second week at half past 7,the third at a Quarter after 7 and the fourth at 7.Let him continue this method until the end of July, subtracting a quarter of an hour each week from sleep and he will accomplish the work which at first sight appears difficult.”

1779 October 31st. “Our house at London Bridge was preserv’d when in great danger from fire.”
“…experienced the Lord a very present help in a time of great need, by His preserving us, and our habitation from devouring flames, a fire having broken out about 8 o’Clock at the hop warehouse behind our house, which consumed both it and the waterworks. Oh may I never forget His kind appearance when in imminent danger”
