Monday, 20.--I went on to Greenock, a seaport town, twenty miles west of Glasgow. It
is built very much like Plymouth Dock, and has a safe and spacious harbor. The trade and
inhabitants, and consequently the houses, are increasing swiftly; and so is cursing, swearing,
drunkenness, Sabbath-breaking, and all manner of wickedness. Our room is about thrice
as large as that at Glasgow; but it would not near contain the congregation. I spoke exceedingly
plain, and not without hope that we may see some fruit, even among this hardhearted generation.
