1779. Monday, March 15.--I began my tour through England and Scotland; the lovely
weather continuing, such as the oldest man alive has not seen before, for January, February,
and half of March. In the evening I preached at Stroud; the next morning at Cloucester,
designing to preach in Stanley at two, and at Tewkesbury in the evening. But the minister
of Gratton (near Stanley) sending me word that I was welcome to the use of his church, I
ordered notice to be given that the service would begin there at six o'clock. Stanley Chapel
was thoroughly filled at two. It is eighteen years since I was there before; many of those
whom I saw here then were now grey-headed, and many were gone to Abraham's bosom.
May we follow them as they did Christ!
