here before, he has added an obelisk a hundred feet high;
and dairy-house, with many other conveniences; and a
chapel, never yet used. But we were informed, he designs to
do many things more How well then may it be said to him,
Tu secanda marmora
Locas sub ipsum funus, et sepulchri
Immemor struis domos /*
At eleven I preached in the avenue again. It rained all
the time; yet the congregation was large and attentive. Afterwards a decent woman, whom I never saw either before
or since, desired to speak with me; and said, “I met you at
Caladon. I had then a violent pain in my head for four
weeks; but was fully persuaded I should be well, if you
would lay your hand on my cheek; which I begged you to
do. From that moment I have been perfectly well.” If so,
give God the glory. In the evening the rain drove us into
the market-house, where we were a little disturbed by two or
three drunken men; but all the rest (numerous congregation)
behaved with deep seriousness. Wed. JUNE 1.-I took my leave of my coeval, Mr. M“Gough, whom I scarce expect to see again in this world. About ten I preached in Blackwater-Town, in Mr. Roe's
yard, to a large and elegant congregation; and in the even
ing to a larger still, at the side of the Fort at Charlemount. Mrs. T. was an unspeakable blessing to this town, while
Mr. T. was stationed there; and the revival of religion, which
began then, has been increasing ever since. In the road to and from Charlemount, I had a good deal of
conversation with that amiable woman, Mrs. R. God has
indeed dealt very mercifully with her; and her soul is at pre
sent much alive. I have great hopes that she, and all her
lovely family, will be patterns to all that are round about them. Thur. 2.-I went to Mr. Caulfield's, the Rector of Kille
man, three miles from Charlemount.
