Sunday, August 6.--At one I proclaimed the glorious gospel to the usual congregation
at Birstal and in the evening at Leeds. Then, judging it needful to pay a short visit to our
brethren at London, I took the stagecoach, with five of my friends, about eight o'clock. Before
nine, a gentleman in a single-horse chaise struck his wheel against one of ours. Instantly the
weight of the men at top overset the coach; otherwise, ten times the shock would not have
moved it. But neither the coachman, nor the men at top, nor any within were hurt at all.
On Tuesday, in the afternoon, we were met at Hatfield by many of our friends, who conducted
us safe to London.
