Wesley Corpus

About noon we came to Builth. « At three I preached in the main street, and at Garth in the evening; where I met my brother going to Ireland. He preached at Builth about nine. Thence we went to Maesmennys church. © But it would not near contain the congregation ; so that I was constrained to preach in the church yard. Thence I rode te Lanzunfried. Here also the church not being able to hold the people, I came out to a large tombstone, under a shady tree, and proclaimed "the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ." One of the audience pressed me much to preach at Clero ; telling me Mr. J. had often said I should be welcome to his pulpit. Monday, 31. I rode thither, and called on Mr. J.; but (as I supposed it would) his heart failed. I preached on a large smooth meadow, Christ our " wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption ;" and a multitude of people were gathered from all parts, though on so short a warning. We set out early, September 1; and, after a short stop near Crick Howell, aimed at the nearest way rer the mountains, to Cardiff. But it was near four in the afternoon before we could reach a little village at the foot of the hills, called Risca. The people at the inn here were civil above measure; particularly a young, genteel man, who was son to the woman of the house, and lived at a small distance from it. He rode with us two miles, to show us the nearest way ; and desired, if we came again, we would lodge at his house. The reason of all this kindness was, that; a year or two ago, he had heard me preach at Bristol. reached Cardiff hetween seven and eight, and immediately went to the Room. My strength just lasted till Thad done preaching. I was then quite ready to lie. 'down and rest.
