Wesley Corpus

22.--I rode to Caladon, where, two years ago, Mr. C was ready to put me in his bosom. But he did not know me now. So I preached in the street, to an exceeding quiet congregation; and rode back in the evening. Is it strange that men, or the moon, should change? Sun. 23.--In the evening, such a multitude of people assembled, and stood so close together, that, though we were 4.38 REv. J. Wesley’s [July, 1771. in open air, the heat was almost insupportable. Surely God will have a people in this place | The poor, at least, will receive the Gospel. Mon. 24.--I preached, about noon, at a village which takes its name from the Black Water in which the Irish Papists drowned so many Protestants, in 1641. In the evening I preached at Clanmain, to a very dull congregation. It is well, if the first are not last ! Tuesday, 25. I preached at Cock-Hill, in a delightful evening, under some shady trees.

I preached in the street at Portadown, to a serious, well behaved congregation; and in the evening at Kilmararty, to the largest congregation I have seen since we left Armagh. This day I entered the sixty-ninth year of my age. I am still a wonder to myself. My voice and strength are the same as at nine-and-twenty. This also hath God wrought. Sat. 29.--I preached at the end of the market-house in Tanderagee. Sunday, 30. At nine the people flocked from all parts; but much more at six in the evening, when we had a London congregation both for number and seriousness. Mon. JULY 1.--I preached at Killwarlin, where, a few weeks ago, Thomas Mott died in peace. In the evening I preached in the Linen-Hall, at Lisburn, to a numerous congregation. Tuesday, 2. I preached on the Green at Newtown; but the people had not the spirit of those at Lisburn. Wednesday, 3.
