Wednesday, July 1.—I spoke severally to all those who had votes in the ensuing election.
I found them such as I desired. Not one would even eat or drink at the expense of him for
whom he voted. Five guineas had been given to W. C., but he returned them immediately.
T. M. positively refused to accept anything. And when he heard that his mother had received
money privately, he could not rest till she gave him the three guineas, which he instantly
sent back.
Thursday 2, was the day of election for Parliament men. It was begun and ended without any hurry at all. I had a large congregation in the evening, among whom two or three roared for the disquietness of their heart, as did many at the meeting which followed; particularly those who had lost their first love.
