Thad it. A clergyman, whom I never saw before, came and offered me his assistance; and as soon as J had done preaching, Mr. Fletcher came, who had just then been ordained priest, and hastened to the chapel on purpose to assist, as he supposed me to be alone. Mon. 14.--I went with T. Walsh to Canterbury, where I preached in the evening with great enlargement of spirit; but with greater in the morning, being much refreshed at the sight of so large a number of soldiers. And is not God able to kindle the same fire in the fleet which he has already begun to kindle in the army? Wed. 16.--I had the satisfaction to find an old stout-hearted sinner, who had been defying God for near fourscore years, now become as a little child, and complaining of his own ignorance and ingratitude to God. Fri. 18.---I returned to London. ; Sun. 20.--Mr. Fletcher helped me again. How wonderful are the ways of God! When my bodily strength failed, and none in England were able and willing to assist me, he sent me help from the mountains of Switzerland; and a help meet for me in every respect :. where could I have found such another? Frit. 25.--After I had read to a serious clergyman the conclusion of “ The Doctrine of Original Sin,” he moved, that we might spend some time in prayer ; and I found great liberty of spirit, in praying for Dr. Taylor: and a strong hope that God would show him “the truth as it is in Jesus.” About this time many of the children of God rested from their labours.
