Monday, June 28.--I preached in the new preaching-house, at Robin Hood's Bay and
then went on to Scarborough. Tuesday, 29, I spent agreeably and profitably with my old
friends; and on my way to Bridlington, Wednesday, 30, took a view of Flamborough Head.
It is a huge rock, rising perpendicularly from the sea to an immense height and giving
shelter to an innumerable multitude of sea fowl of various kinds. I preached in the evening
at Bridlington, and afterward heard a very uncommon instance of paternal affection: A
gentleman of the town had a favorite daughter, whom he set up in a milliner's shop. Sometime
after she had a concern for her soul and believed it her duty to enter into the society. Upon this her good father forbade her his house, demanding all the money he had laid out; and
requiring her instantly to sell all her goods in order to make the payment!
