five feet high. The lower part contains, I believe, near a hundred places for the bodies of the Pelham family. (Owhat a comfort to the departed spirits, that their carcases shall rot above ground! ) Over this is to be a chapel. It is computed the whole building will cost sixty thousand pounds. About five we came to Grimsby ; and, the Vicar reading Prayers, I preached on the Psalm for the day, "He healeth them that are broken in heart, and giveth medicine to heal their sickness. " I think the church is near as large as that at Hull; July, 1788.] and it has not been so well filled in the memory of manbefore. Allwere seriously attentive ; many received the word with joy ; and some doubtless will bring forth fruit to perfection. Tues. JULY 1.-The Vicar again read Prayers at eleven ; and Ipreached on those words in the Second Lesson, " Lord, are there few that be saved ? " I spoke as plain as possibly I could ; butGod only can speak to the heart. The gentleman at whose house I was to lodge coming from Louth to meet me, his headstrong horse crushed his leg against agate, with such force, that both the bones were broke and came through his boot. The horse stood byhim till some countrymen came, put him into a cart, and brought him home. It is doubtful whether he will recover ; but death is no terror tohim. I preached in Louth at six, in the preaching-house ; but per- haps I had better have been in the market-place. At five in the morning the Roomwas filled ; and I spoke, as doubting whether I should see them any more. At eleven I preached at that lovely spot, Langham-Row. Although Mr. Robinson has made the chapel twice as large as itwas, yet it would hardly contain the congregation ; and most of these are in earnest to save their souls ; as well as himself, and his wife, and his sixteen children. Thur. 3.-I was going to preach at Alford, near the end of the town ; but the Gentry sent and desired me to preach in the market-place ; which I accordinglydid, to a large and attentive congregation, on, " It is appointed unto men once to die."
