Wesley Corpus

Sat. August 6.--A convenient chapel was offered me at Snowsfields, on the other side the water. It was built on purpose, it seems, by a poor Arian misbeliever, for the defence and propagation of ner bad faith. But the wisdom of God brought that device to nought; and ordered, by his overruling providence, that it should be employed, not for ‘ crucifying the Son of God afresh,” but for calling all to believe on his name. Mon. 8.--Upon mention made of my design to preach here, a zealous woman warmly replied, “« What! at Snowsfields! Will Mr. W. preach at Snowsfields? Surely he will not do it! Why, there is not such another place in all the tewn. ‘The people there are not men, but devils.” However, I resolved to try if God was not stronger than them: so this evening I preached there on that scripture, “ Jesus said, They that be whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Sun. 14.-- Mr. G. assisted me at the chapel; one who had then a deep sense of the goodness of God, in lifting him up from the gates of death, and delivering him out of all his troubles.
