in the evening, to the best dressed congregation I have ever yet seen in
Wales. Two persons came to me afterward, who were, it seemed, convinced of sin, and groaning for deliverance. Mon. 5.--I preached in
the morning at Pont-y-Pool, to a small but deeply attentive congregation. Mr. Price conducted us from thence to his house at Watford.
After resting here an hour, we hastened on, and came to Fonmon,
where I explained and enforced those words, “* What must I do to be
saved?” Many seemed quite amazed, while I showed them the nature
of salvation, and the Gospel way of attaining it.
Tues. 6.--I read prayers and preached in Porth Kerry church. My
text was, “ By grace are ye saved through faith.” In the evening, at
Cardiff, I expounded Zechariah iv, ’7: ‘ Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain.” The next morning
we set out, and in the evening praised God with our brethren in Bristol.
Thur. 8.--I dined with C T , greatly praising God for having
done his own wise and holy will, in taking away “the desire of his
eyes.” In the evening I preached on, “ Looking unto Jesus ;” and
many were filled with consolation. Ft. 9.--The same spirit helped our infirmities at the hour of intercession; and again, at Kingswood, in the evening. I was just laid down, when one came and told
me, Howel Harris desired to speak with me at Bristol, being just come
from London, and having appointed to set out for Wales at three in the
morning. I went, and found him with Mr. Humphreys and Mr. S :
They immediately fell upon their favourite subject ; on which when we
had disputed two hours, and were just where we were at first, I begged
we might exchange controversy for prayer. We did so, and then parted
in much love, about two in the morning.
