[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.
