Wednesday, 12.--We came to Holyhead between one and two. But all the ships were
on the Irish side. One came in the next day, but could not go out, the wind being quite
contrary. In this journey I read over Statius's Thebais. I wonder one man should write so
well and so ill. Sometimes he is scarcely inferior to Virgil; sometimes as low as the dullest
parts of Ovid.
In the evening I preached on "Be ye also ready" [Matt. 24:44]. The poor people now seemed to be much affected and equally so the next night: so that I was not sorry that the wind was contrary.
