Wesley Corpus

Sun. 17.--I preached (as I had done the Wednesday before) to my favourite congregation at Placey, on, “ Him hath God exalted with his own right hand, to be a Prince anda Saviour.” JI then joined a little company of them together, who desire “ repentance and remission of sins.” Mon. 18.--I set out from Newcastle with John Downes, of Horsley. We were four hours riding to Ferry Hill, about twenty measured miles. After resting there an hour, we rode softly on; and at two o’clock came to Darlington. I thought my horse was not well; he thought the same of his; though they were both young, and very well the day before. We ordered the hostler to fetch a farrier, which he did without delay; but before the men could determine what was the matter, both the horses lay down and died. I hired a horse to SandYatton, and rode on, desiring John Downes to follow me. Thence 288 REV. J. WESLEY’S JOURNAL. [Aug. 1743 foe to Boroughbridge, on Tuesday morning, and then walked on to eeds.
