Brigham Yew Trees

And then I walked down towards the steeplehouse, where I found James Lancaster speaking under an yew tree, and it was full of people so as I feared they would break it down.
And I looked up and down for a place to stand upon to speak unto the people, for they lay like people at a leaguer, all up and down; and after a while that I was discovered, and I saw that there was no place convenient to speak to the people from, a professor came to me and asked me whether I would go into the church, and I told him, ‘Yes’.
