Mon. 11.--Forty or fifty of those who were seeking salvation desired leave to spend the night together, at the society room, in prayer and giving thanks. Before ten I left them, and lay down. But I could have no quiet rest, being quite uneasy in my sleep, as I found others were too, that were asleep in other parts of the house. Between two ond three in the morning I was waked, and desired to come down stairs. T immediately heard such a confused noise, as if a number of men were all putting to the.sword. It increased when I came into the room, and began to pray. One whom I particularly observed to be roaring aloud for pain was J---- W. , who had been always, till then, very sure that none cried out but hypocrites :” so had Mrs. S--ms also. But she too now cried to God with a loud and bitter cry. It was not long before God heard from his holy place. He spake, and all our souls were comforted. He bruised Satan under our feet; and sorrow and sighing fled away. Sat. 16.--I called on one, who, being at Long-lane, on Monday, the 4th instant, was exceeding angry at those that “ pretended to be in fits,” particularly at one who dropped down just by her. She was just going ‘to kick her out of the way,” when she dropped down herself, and continued in violent agonies for an hour. Being afraid, when she came to herself, that her mother would judge of her as she herself had done of others, she resolved to hide it from her. But the moment she came into the house, she dropped down in as violent an agony as before. I left her weary and heavy laden, under a deep sense of the just judgment of God.
