I afterward called on Mrs. E r, with whom was one lately come from Bristol, in deep anguish of spirit. We cried to God, and he soon declared his salvation, so that both their mouths were filled with his praise. Thence I went to a poor woman, who had been long in despair. I was glad to meet with Mrs. R there ; the person mentioned in Mr. Whitefield’s Journal, who, after three years’ madness (sa called,) was so deeply convinced of sin at Beech-lane, and soon after rejoiced in God her Saviour. Thur. 6.--I was sent for by one who began to feel herself a sinner. But a fine lady unexpectedly coming in, there was scarce room for me to speak. The fourth person in the company was a poor unbred girl ; who beginning to tell what God had done for her soul, the others looked one at another, as in amaze, but did not open their mouths. I then exhorted them, not to cease from crying to God, till they too could say, as she did, “‘ My Beloved is mine, and I am his: I am as sure of il, as that Iam alive. For his Spirit bears witness with my spirit, that I am a child of God.” Sun. 9.--I declared to about ten thousand, in Moorfields, what they must do to be saved. My mother went with us, about five, to Ken nington, where were supposed to be twenty thousand people. I again sisted on that foundation of all our hope, “ Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved.” From Kennington I went to a society at Lambeth. The house being filled, the rest stood in the garden. The deep attention they showed, gave me a good hope, that they will not all be forgetful hearers. Thence I went to our society at Fetter-lane, and exhorted them to love one another. The want of love was a general complaint. We laid it open before our Lord. We soon found he had sent us an answer of peace. Evil surmisings vanished away. The flame kindled again as at the first, and our hearts were knit together.
