Some years since, an old abbey here was; rebuilt with a design to have public service
therein. But that design failing, only the shell of it was finished. Of this (lying useless) the
society has taken a lease. Here I preached in the morning, Saturday, 13, to six or seven
hundred people.
We then went to prayers at the cathedral, an ancient and venerable pile. In the afternoon I walked round the walls of the town, scarcely so large as Newcastle-upon-Tyne. And the fortifications are much in the same repair; very sufficient to keep out the wild Irish.
