Tuesday, April 30.--in the evening I preached in a kind of square at Colne, to a multitude
of people, all drinking in the Word. I scarcely ever saw a congregation wherein men, women,
and children stood in such a posture; and this in the town wherein, thirty years ago, no
Methodist could show his head! The first that preached here was John Jane, who was innocently riding through the town when the zealous mob pulled him off his horse and put him
in the stocks. He seized the opportunity and vehemently exhorted them "to flee from the
wrath to come."
