The Record Book gives this three year background for the choice of Joseph as the minister· The 1732 biography of him has a swifter tone to its account. By the earnest solicitation of his friends being about this time [this follows the 1688 marriage account] prevailed on to appear in the pulpit, he preached in Devonshire-Square. The congregation ... at Pinners' Hall had been for some time deprived of ... Mr. Francis Bampfield This people soon fixed their eyes upon Mr. Stennett as a proper successor to so excellent a person."
