Wesley Corpus

In the evening [ preached at Lantrisant. Thursday, 6,--We rode to a hard-named place on the top of a mountain. I scarce saw any house near: however, a large number of honest, simple people soon came together; but few could understand me: so Henry Lloyd, when I had done, repeated the substance of my sermon in Welsh. The behaviour of the people recompensed us for our labour in climbing up to them. About noon we came to Abérdare, just as the bell was ringing for a burial. This had brought a great number together, to whom, after the burial, I preached in the church. We had almost continued rain from Aberdare to the great rough mountain that hangs over the vale of Brecknock: but as soon as we gained the top of this, we left the 448 REV. J. WESLEY’S JOURNAL. [ April, 1749 clouds behind us. We had a mild, fair, sunshiny evening the remainder of our journey. Fri. '7.--We reached Garth. Saturday, 8.--I married my brother and Sarah Gwynne. It was a solemn day, such as became the dignity of a Christian marriage.
