Wesley Corpus

12.--I preached at Carlisle; and Saturday, 13, after a long day's journey, at Glasgow. After spending three days here fully employed, on Wednesday, 17, we went on to Edinburgh. Here likewise I had much and pleasant work. On Friday, 19, I went forward to Dundee; and on Saturday, 20, to Arbroath; where I spent the Lord's Day in the Lord’s work. 332 REv. J. Wesley’s [June, 1786. Mon. 22.-Having a long day's journey before us, we set out, at half-hour past three: So we came early to Aberdeen. Wednesday, 24. We had an exceeding solemn parting, as I reminded them that we could hardly expect to see each other's face any more, till we met in Abraham’s bosom. Thur. 25.--We set out early; but when we came to Bervie, the inn was full; there was no room for man or beast; so we were constrained to go a double stage, to Montrose. But the storm was so high, we could not pass for several hours. However, we reached Arbroath soon after six; and a large congregation was deeply attentive, while I applied, “To him that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not shall be taken away even what he assuredly hath.” The storm was still so high, that, unless we set out at night, we could not pass till nine in the morning. So we went on board at eleven. The wind was then so strong, that the boat could scarce keep above water. However, our great Pilot brought us safe to land between one and two in the morning. Saturday, 27. About three we came to the New Inn, and rested till between six and seven. Thence, going gently on to Kinghorn, we had a pleasant passage to Leith. After preaching, I walked to my lovely lodging at Coates, and found rest Was Sweet. Sun. 28.--I preached first at our own House, and at noon on the Castle-Hill. I never saw such a congregation there before. But the chair was placed just opposite to the sun; But I soon forgot it, while I expounded those words, “I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God.” In the evening the whole audience seemed to feel, “Without holiness no man shall see the Lord.” Tues. 30.--I had the happiness of conversing with the Earl of H and his Lady, at Dunbar.
