Excerpt from The Diary of the Revd; Daniel Fuller: With His Account of His Family and Other Matters, Written at Gloucester, in Massachusetts, Circa 1775, and Edited by His Grandson

Upon their arriving at the age of fourteen years, he bound (after the custom of the day, and as he was himself bound) his male children to reput able artisans, that each might learn a useful trade, trusting to their own bents to lead them, as his own bent had led himself, to seek education and a learned profession, if so it pleased Providence. Although holding himself in line with the rigid tenets of his vocation, he was not wanting in that sense of humor which was often the amenity of the hard regimen of the Puritan pastor, and he used to tell of a poor man who came to him one spring to be married.
