Saturday, November 17 (London).--I spent an hour agreeably and profitably with Lady
G-- H--, and Sir C-- H--. It is well a few of the rich and noble are called. Oh, that God would
increase their number! But I should rejoice (were it the will of God), if it were done by the
ministry of others. If I might choose, I should still (as I have done hitherto) preach the gospel
to the poor.
Friday, 23.--The roads were so extremely slippery that it was with much difficulty we reached Bedford. We had a pretty large congregation; but the stench from the swine under the room was scarcely supportable. Was ever a preaching place over a hogsty before? Surely they love the gospel who come to hear it in such a place.
