closehandedness

Parsimony.

I have (saith he) long been of that mind that N. E. is guilty of great unthankfulness for the Gospel, & strait-heartedness, & closehandedness toward the Ministers.

Secrecy.

This cannot disturb me without making me guilty of an inconsistency, and this cannot be, since I do not wish to confide in anyone lest I myself make a mistake and think I should go out and proclaim this closehandedness instead of staying close to myself.

Proximity.

The warm palm on his mind, in she goes, in where he is, to poultice down— not fast enough, faster they must till again from dysfunction, night inklings, to love himself he has a mind, she from untoward closehandedness, they go down to the bottom, the scolded skin, there concentrate.
