Wesley Corpus

Tues. 17.--I spoke strong and plain words again, both in the morning and evening ; and should not have regretted my being detained, had it been only for the blessings of this day. Wed. 18.--We took ship. The wind was small in the afternoon, but exceeding high toward night. About eight I laid me down on the quarter deck. I was soon wet from head to foot, but I took no cold at all. About four in the morning we landed at Holyhead, and in the evening reached Carnarvon. Fri. 20.--I rode with Mr. C. Perronet to Machynlleth, and the next day, Saturday, 21, to Builth. I had no desire to go further, as it rained hard; but Mr. Philips pressed us to go on to Garth. We came thither just as they were singing before family prayer; so I took the book and preached on those words, “ Behold, to fear the Lord, that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil, that is understanding.” Sun. 22.--At eight I preached at Garth, afterward in Maesmennys church, and at Builth in the afternoon. We proposed going this evening to John Price’s at Mertha; but fearing he might be at the society, (two miles from his house,) we went round that way, and came while the exhorter was in the midst of his sermon. I preached when he had done. About eight we came to Mertha, and slept in peace. Mon. 23.--We were on horseback at four o’clock ; and at four in the afternoon came to Cardiff. The rain obliged me to preach in the Room. Tuesday, 14.--I breakfasted at Fonmon, dined at Wenvo, and preached at Cardiff in the evening. Wednesday, 25.--We set out after preaching, and in the afternoon came to Bristol.
