Thur. 17.--I preached at five, on Matt. x; about noon, at Little Horton, near Bradford ; about three in the afternoon at Stickerlane, and at Birstal in the evening. Fri. 18.--I rode to Leeds, and preached in great peace. Sat. 19.--I went on to Mr. Clayton’s, at Wensley; and on Sunday, 20, preached in Redmire church on part of John iii, the Gospel for the day. In the afternoon I preached at Bolton chapel, on, ‘* We know that we are of God.” I was much pleased at the serious behaviour of the congregation, both in the morning and afternoon; especially at Redmire, where, from a village of about thirty houses, we had more than fifty communicants. Mon. 21.--I rode to Newcastle, and passed a quiet week. Mon. 28.--I began visiting the classes in the town; and on Sunday, June 3, those in the country, which I had never found so much in earnest betore. | I trust, ‘here is not only not a disorderly walker, but hardly a trifler left among them. Fri. 8.--I preached at night on John xvii, 3. The house could no* contain the congregation; and most of them stayed either within o1 without, till the end of the midnight hymn. Sun. 10.--I preached at Biddick, about eight; at Tanfield, as soor as morning prayer was over; at Spen about three, and in Newcastle at six. I concluded the day, in praising God with the society. Mon. 11.--I left Newcastle, and in the afternoon met John Nelson, * All the particulars of this memorable transaction are set down in, “ The Case of John Nelson, written by 1imself.” July, 1'744. | | REV.
