Wednesday, September 6.--I reached Newcastle; and after resting a day, and preaching
two evenings and two mornings, with such a blessing as we have not often found, on Friday
set out to visit the northern societies. I began with that at Morpeth, where I preached at
twelve, on one side of the market place. It was feared the market would draw the people
from the sermon; but it was just the contrary: they quitted their stalls, and there was no
buying or selling till the sermon was concluded.
At Alnwick likewise I stood in the market place in the evening and exhorted a numerous congregation to be always ready for death, for judgment, for heaven. I felt what I spoke; as I believe did most that were present, both then and in the morning, while I besought them to present themselves, "a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God."
