Wesley Corpus

Saturday, 14, was the hottest day we have had this summer. We reached Tenby soon after one. After dinner we took a walk through the town. I think there is not such a town in England. It is the Killmallock of Great Britain. Two-thirds of the ancient town are either in ruins, or vanished away. In the evening I preached in the street, to a large congregation ofrich and poor, all quiet and attentive. I cannot but think, salvation is at length come to this town also.

Friday, 20. About eight I preached in the church at Newport, and spoke strong words, if haply some might awake out of sleep. Thence we went to Haverfordwest; it being the day when the Bishop held his visitation. As I was returning in the afternoon from visiting some of the poor people, acarriage in the street obliged me to walk very near a Clergyman, who made me a low bow: I did the same to him; though I did not then know the
