The Words of George Liele in a letter dated Kingston, Dec.18, 1791

"I was born in Virginia, my father's name was Liele, and my mother's name Nancy;
I can not ascertain much of them, as I went to several parts of America when young,

with thoughts of death, which barred me from many sins and bad company.
I knew no other way at that time to hope for salvation but only in the performance of my good works."

"the Rev. Mr.Matthew Moore, one Sabbath afternoon, as I stood with curiosity to hear him,
he unfolded all my dark views, opened my best behaviour and good works to me
which I thought I was to be saved by, and I was convinced that I was not in the way to heaven,
but in the way to hell. This state I laboured under for the space of five or six months.
The more I heard or read, the more I" saw that I "was condemned as a sinner before God;
till at length I was brought to perceive that my life hung by a slender thread,
