I began to speak, and the noise died away: but before I had ended my prayer, some poor wretches of Penzance began cursing and swearing, ‘and thrusting the people off the bank. In two minutes I was thrown into the midst of them; when one of Newlyn, a bitter opposer till then, ‘turned about, and swore, * None shall meddle with the man: I will lose my life first.” Many others were of his mind: so I walked a hundred yards forward, and finished my sermon without any interruption.
