Wesley Corpus

Sat. 29.--About noon we came to Builth. « At three I preached in the main street, and at Garth in the evening; where I met my brother going to Ireland. Sun. 30.--He preached at Builth about nine. Thence we went to Maesmennys church. © But it would not near contain the congregation ; so that I was constrained to preach in the church yard. Thence I rode te Lanzunfried. Here also the church not being able to hold the people, I came out to a large tombstone, under a shady tree, and proclaimed “the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.” One of the audience pressed me much to preach at Clero ; telling me Mr. J. had often said I should be welcome to his pulpit. Monday, 31.--I rode thither, and called on Mr. J.; but (as I supposed it would) his heart failed. I preached on a large smooth meadow, Christ our “ wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption ;” and a multitude of people were gathered from all parts, though on so short a warning. We set out early, September 1; and, after a short stop near Crick Howell, aimed at the nearest way rer the mountains, to Cardiff. But it was near four in the afternoon before we could reach a little village at the foot of the hills, called Risca. The people at the inn here were civil above measure; particularly a young, genteel man, who was son to the woman of the house, and lived at a small distance from it. He rode with us two miles, to show us the nearest way ; and desired, if we came again, we would lodge at his house. The reason of all this kindness was, that; a year or two ago, he had heard me preach at Bristol. { reached Cardiff hetween seven and eight, and immediately went to the Room. My strength just lasted till Thad done preaching. I was then quite ready to lie. ‘down and rest.
