    Built them a forge
    To make themselves rich.’

Dr. Loring continued the same prominence in Plympton affairs he had had at Plymouth, being selectman, assessor, moderator, surveyor of lands and captain of militia at various times. He had considerable medical practice and was never secure from calls; so that he had a door cut in the wall of the meetinghouse close by his pew, so that he could come in and go without disturbing the congregation in meeting time.”82
