myself, and found an uncommon blessing therein: I preached on Luke x, 23, 24, “‘ Blessed are the eyes which sce the things that ye see,” &c: and great was our rejoicing in the Lord. We were filled with consolation. We sung praises lustily, and with a good courage ; till, (in a manner I never remember before,) A solemn reverence check’d our songs, And praise sat silent on our tongues. We were well buffeted both with wind and rain, in riding from thence to J. ay ’s, where the congregation was waiting forme. And we had another season of solemn joy in the Lord. Mon. 2.--We rode to Camelford. In the way I read Mr. Gianvill’s ‘Relations of Witchcraft.” I wish the facts had had a more judicious relater: one who would not have given a fair pretence for denying the whole, by his awkward manner of accounting for some of the circumstances. Wed. 4.--We called in the afternoon on Mr. H » in Camborne parish. Sat. 7.--I rode in a stormy afternoon to St. Just. But the rain would not let me preach abroad, either that evening, or on Sunday morning. About noon I made shift to stand on the lee side of a house in Morva, and preach Christ to a listening multitude. I began at Newlyn about five. About the middle of the sermon there was a vehement shower of rain and hail: but the bulk of the congregation stood quite still, every man in his place. On Monday and Tuesday I preached in Ludgvan, Sithney, Crowan, and Illogan. Wednesday, 11.--At noon I preached in Redruth; and in the evening inGwennap. It blew hard, and rained almost without ceasing: but the congregation stood as if it had been a fair summer’s evening. ‘
