Thomas Paine was born at Tbctford, in the county ol Norfolk, (England) in the year 1736 At "the age of thirteen he left i'chool to learn the trade of ftay maker, with his father. At nineteen he went to Lon don, whete.he remained about two years,, andhen went to Dover, where he ellablid ehimfelf with one Grave, a Hay maker, of whom, onder pretence of an attachment :o his daughter, he contrived to borrow ten pounds to fet up as a aaymaker at Stind. wich, hut he'neither married the lady nor repaid the money. At this place he com menced methodift preacher ;' andfoon aftej married Mary Lambert, a pretty girl, of modelt behaviour. His treatment of her, in' lefs than two mouths, was notsrioufly brutal j but her former millrcOi relieved her Vol. VII. Numb. 348; with " many klof attentions : ; He ttibk iMif, td, raa h debt !

This a& of Paine's is declared to be by the marriage aft felony, without benefit of clergy.
