Wesley Corpus

We had a clear, pleasant night, and reached Norwich about eleven on Monday, 27. I found all things in peace, through the zeal and prudence of Jasper Robinson and his fellow-labourers. The congregation in the evening was nearly as large as it usually is on Sunday; and more than twice as large at six in the morning as it is accus tomed to be. Tuesday, 28. About moon I preached at Cayster, a little town twenty miles east of Norwich, to a little, serious congregation; the greater part of them seemed to be ripe for a blessing. The House at Yarmouth was throughly filled in the evening, and many attended in the morning likewise. Once more the combatants here have laid down their arms, and solemnly promise to continue in peace and love. Wednesday and Thursday I spent comfortably at Lowestoft, among a quiet, loving people. Friday, DECEMBER 1. I took a solemn leave of them at six. At nine I preached at North Cove, with much enlargement of spirit; and about eleven at Beccles, to more than their preaching-house could contain; and all of them appeared as serious and attentive as the con gregation at Yarmouth. In the evening there seemed to be a considerable shaking even among the dry bones at Loddon; and such a company attended at Mr. Crisp's in the morning, as I never saw there before. Sat. 2.-I returned to Harwich, and was much pleased in the evening with the largeness and seriousness of the congregation. Sunday, 3. I administered the Lord's Supper at eight, and afterwards attended our parish church. Besides the little com pany that went with me, and the Clerk and Minister, I think we had five men and six women: And this is a Christian country ! Our House could in nowise contain the congregation, either in the afternoon or in the evening; and at both times, great was 356 REv. J. WESLEY’s [Dec. 1786. the power of God in the midst of them. I have not seen, for many years, such a prospect of doing good in this city. Mon. 4.--I was strongly importuned by our friends at Long Stratton, to give them a sermon there. I heard of a young woman in that country who had uncommon fits, arid of one that had lately preached; but I did not know that it was one and the same person.
