Friday, 19.—I rode over to Howell Harris at Trevecka, though not knowing how to get
any further. But he helped us out of our difficulties, offering to send one with us who would
show us the way and bring our horses back; so I then determined to go on to Holyhead,
after spending a day or two at Brecknock.
Saturday, 20.—It being the day appointed for the justices and commissioners to meet, the town was extremely full, and curiosity (if no better motive) brought most of the gentlemen to the preaching. Such another opportunity could not have been of speaking to all the rich and great of the county; they all appeared to be serious and attentive. Perhaps one or two may lay it to heart.
Monday, 22.—It continued fair till we came to Builth, where I preached to the usual congregation. Mr. Phillips then guided us to Royader, about fourteen English miles. It snowed hard behind us and on both sides, but not at all where we were.
