Wesley Corpus

I spoke strong and plain words again, both in the morning and evening ; and should not have regretted my being detained, had it been only for the blessings of this day. We took ship. The wind was small in the afternoon, but exceeding high toward night. About eight I laid me down on the quarter deck. I was soon wet from head to foot, but I took no cold at all. About four in the morning we landed at Holyhead, and in the evening reached Carnarvon. I rode with Mr. C. Perronet to Machynlleth, and the next day, Saturday, 21, to Builth. I had no desire to go further, as it rained hard; but Mr. Philips pressed us to go on to Garth. We came thither just as they were singing before family prayer; so I took the book and preached on those words, " Behold, to fear the Lord, that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil, that is understanding." At eight I preached at Garth, afterward in Maesmennys church, and at Builth in the afternoon. We proposed going this evening to John Price's at Mertha; but fearing he might be at the society, (two miles from his house,) we went round that way, and came while the exhorter was in the midst of his sermon. I preached when he had done. About eight we came to Mertha, and slept in peace. We were on horseback at four o'clock ; and at four in the afternoon came to Cardiff. The rain obliged me to preach in the Room. Tuesday, 14. I breakfasted at Fonmon, dined at Wenvo, and preached at Cardiff in the evening. Wednesday, 25. We set out after preaching, and in the afternoon came to Bristol.
