Sunday, 23.--My brother being not yet able to assist, I had more employment today
than I expected. In the morning I read prayers, preached, and administered the sacrament
to a Iarge congregation in Spitalfields.
The service at West Street continued from nine till one. At five I called the sinners in Moorfields to repentance. And when I had finished my work found more liveliness and strength than I did at six in the morning.
Monday, 24.--l left London and, the next morning, called at what is styled the Halfway House. Quickly after, as a young man was (riding by the door, both horse and man tumbled over each other. As soon as he got up, he began cursing his horse. I spoke a few words, and he was calm. He told me, he did fear God once, but for some time past he had cared for nothing. He went away full of good resolutions. God bring them to good effect!
I reached Kingswood in the evening; and the next day selected passages of Milton for the eldest children to transcribe and repeat weekly.
