Wesley Corpus

Afterwards, meeting the society, I took a solemn leave of them, which I hope they will remember if they see me no more. Wed. 13.--We crossed over to Sarum, where I preached in the evening, with much enlargement of heart. Thursday, 14. Setting out about three, we came to Gloucester early in the afternoon. I spoke very plain, both in the evening and the 434 REv. J. wesley’s [Aug. 1788. morning. Friday, 15. We went on to Monmouth; but Mr. G. has done with us; so I lodged with my old friend, Mr. Johnson; and instead of that lovely young woman, S B , who is removed to Cowbridge, met with her younger sister, who more than supplies her place. She is a jewel indeed; full of faith and love, and zealous of good works. I preached both in the evening and the next morning with the demonstration of the Spirit; and all the congregation, rich and poor, appeared to be sensible of it. Saturday, 16. We had an easy journey to Brecon, where I preached in the evening. Sunday, 17. I preached in the Room at eight, on the fruit of the Spirit. In the evening I preached in the spacious Town Hall, so filled as it had never been before. I think there is a little company here that are truly alive to God. Monday, 18. I went on to Carmarthen, and preached at six, on 2 Cor. v. 19; and again at five in the morning, Tuesday, 19, when the Room was well filled. A servant of Mr. Bowen's came early in the morning to show us the way to Llyngwair : And it was well he did; for I do not know that we could otherwise have found our way thither. We met (as I expected) with a hearty welcome. At five I preached in Newport church, to a large congregation, and with agreater prospect of doing good than ever I had before. We passed an agreeable evening at Llyngwair. Wednesday, 20. I went to Tracoon, one of the most venerable seats in Great Britain. The good old house is buried in woods and mountains, having no resemblance to any place I have seen. It is just suited to the good old Admiral, with his four maiden sisters; the youngest of whom, I suppose, has lived more than seventy years.
