this has no manner of respect, either to the Lord's Supper, or the righteousness of Christ ; but that it means neither more nor less than holiness. At three I preached to a crowded audience at Allhallows church, on Matt. vi. 8. At both places I believe God strongly applied his word to many hearts. Mon. 26. I set out early, dined at Wallingford, just fifty miles from the new chapel, and preached in the evening to far more people than the preaching-house could contain.

I never saw that preaching-house so full as it was this evening ; and the people now begin not only to understand, but to relish, what they hear. Tuesday, 3. We went over to Wrestlingworth, where likewise the church was fuller
