Wesley Corpus

I preached (as I had done the Wednesday before) to my favourite congregation at Placey, on, " Him hath God exalted with his own right hand, to be a Prince anda Saviour." JI then joined a little company of them together, who desire " repentance and remission of sins." I set out from Newcastle with John Downes, of Horsley. We were four hours riding to Ferry Hill, about twenty measured miles. After resting there an hour, we rode softly on; and at two o'clock came to Darlington. I thought my horse was not well; he thought the same of his; though they were both young, and very well the day before. We ordered the hostler to fetch a farrier, which he did without delay; but before the men could determine what was the matter, both the horses lay down and died. I hired a horse to SandYatton, and rode on, desiring John Downes to follow me. Thence 288 REV. J. WESLEY'S JOURNAL. Aug. 1743 foe to Boroughbridge, on Tuesday morning, and then walked on to eeds.
