Monday, May 25.—We rode to Durham and thence, through very rough roads and as
rough weather, to Barnard Castle. I was exceedingly faint when we came in. However the
time being come, I went into the street and would have preached; but the mob was so numerous and so loud that it was not possible for many to hear. Nevertheless, I spoke on, and
those who were near listened with huge attention. To prevent this, some of the rabble fetched
the engine and threw a good deal of water on the congregation; but not a drop fell on me.
After about three quarters of an hour, I returned into the house.
Tuesday, June 9.—My lodging was not such as I should have chosen; but what Providence chooses is always good. My bed was considerably under ground, the room serving both for a bedchamber and a cellar. The closeness was more troublesome at first than the coolness; but I let in a little fresh air by breaking a pane of paper (put by way of glass) in the window, and then slept soundly till the morning.
