What Mr.Sharp has done to merit the title of coadjutor in this high sense, I shall now explain.

The following is a short history of the beginning and of the course of his labours:-- In the year 1765, Mr.David Lisle had brought over from Barbados Jonathan Strong, an African slave, as his servant.

He used the latter in a barbarous manner at his lodgings in Wapping, but particularly by beating him over the head with a pistol, which occasioned his head to swell.

When the swelling went down, a disorder fell into his eyes, which threatened the loss of them.

To this an ague and fever succeeded, and a lameness in both his legs.
Jonathan Strong, having been brought into this deplorable situation, and being therefore wholly useless, was left by his master to go whither he pleased.
