The Life And Ministry Of Richard Marsh
This dear, aged servant of the Lord was well known and highly regarded amongst the Strict Baptist churches in Lancashire and Cheshire. When God the Spirit first met with him he was, like all of us by nature, wholly taken up with the things of time and sense. He was one of the bell-ringers at the parish church of his native place, Tyldesley, near Manchester, and also a member of a club of hand-bell ringers, to which carnal amusement he was very much attached.

At the age of sixteen it pleased God to quicken my dead soul, open my blind eyes, and unstop my deaf ears, and he made me feel that living and dying as I was then, hell must be my eternal portion.

The Life And Ministry Of George Morton
I gather from my father's account of the Lord's dealings with him that he began to be awakened to a sense of his lost and ruined state before God when about 23 years of age. His parents were in poor circumstances, so that he was sent to service when very young, and to use his own words, there he learned to fake God's Holy Name in vain and to profane his holy sabbath, and also to indulge in some of the most sinful practices: But God, who is rich in mercy, in his own time and way, brought him to a knowledge of his sinful state, both by nature and practice,
