Excerpt from Autobiography of the Rev. David Powell, a Minister of the New Church Signified by the New Jerusalem in the Apocalypse: Together With Eight of His Sermons But I know of no record having been made of what occurred during this period of my life; and my own memory is not suffi cient to give its history now. Hence, as I have stated, but little can now be said about it. I simply remember of having heard my parents say, that I was not a very healthy infant; for, when quite young, I had seven large boils on my head at the same time, and that all were lanced by the physician at one visit. This was surely sufficient to carry off corruption enough to make me a healthier child, if not a better boy.
