Both for the Main resolved thus howere,
For Ord'ring all they strait consulted there:
Choice Meeting ground, thick-shaded Rock design'd,
Flight-shoot beyond the Grove, to either's mind:
Thence four miles Walk to th' Burrough-Town which Place
Pastors less us'd; some Lonely House, tho base,
For Lodging got; sent Letter strait that Night
To Uncle of his i'th' Pastors Vale, t'invite
His friendly help for close retreating Grange,
Like Sojourners, till Calm, more setled Change.
