462 REV. J. WESLEY’S JOURNAL. [Aug. 1749.
“ We find and present Charles Wesley to be a person of ill fame, a
vagabond, and a common disturber of his majesty’s peace; and we pray
he may be transported.
“ We find and present James Williams, &c. . We find and present
Robert Swindle, &c. We find and present Jonathan Reeves, &c. We
find and present John Larwood, &c. We find and present Joseph M‘Auliff, &c. We find and present Charles Skaron, &c. We find and present
William Tooker, &c.
“We find and present Daniel Sullivan to be a person of ill ‘ame, a
vagabond, and a common disturber of his majesty’s peace ; and we pray
he may be transported.”
Daniel Sullivan was an honest baker, who had lived in Cork many
years, I suppose in as good fame as any of his trade in the city ; but he
had entertained my brother, and several other Methodists; nay, and
suffered them to preach in his house. The other names (only most of
them miserably mangled and murdered) were designed for the names
of eight preachers who had been there.
Mon. 28.--I left London, and in the evening came to Great Potton.
About six I went out into the market place, and called to a confused
multitude, “* Seek ye the Lord while he may be found; call ye upon
him while he is near.” Great things were threatened, but nothing
done. We had a quiet and comfortable meeting, and there was reason
to hope that the word of God sunk into the hearts of many.
