Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, were spent at Cokesbury in examining and arranging the temporal concerns of the college.

PENNSYLVANIA.-Sunday 21. I preached with some satisfaction, morning and evening, in Philadelphia. On Monday our conference began and held until Friday 26.

Saturday 27. We left the city.

NEW-JERSEY.-Sunday 28. Preached with some assistance in

Elizabethtown.

NEW-YORK.-Monday 29. Rode to New-York. Next day (Tuesday 30.) our conference began, and continued until Saturday the 4th of October.

NEW-JERSEY.-Sunday October 5, and Monday 6. My soul was uncommonly led out in prayer and preaching-I found it a very gracious season. My return brought me through Elizabethtown, Amboy, Hydestown, Crosswecks, and Burlington.

DELAWARE.-Sunday 12. I was much depressed in spirit whilst in Philadelphia. I left there on Wednesday, and preached at Chester; where I had some energy; and had openings at Wilmington and Duck-Creek, where I also administered the word of life.

Monday 20. Our meeting in Dover was attended with some power. At Milford we had liberty and love. At Johnstown I was very unwell, and was under the necessity of going to bed, but our friends were alive: God is with them of a truth. Preached at Shankland's. My soul enjoys great peace and love. On Sunday I was under bodily affliction, but I went to the court-house and spoke a few words on "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." We have a house now building, and I hope something will be done here.

Monday was remarkably warm weather, and I was ready to faint whilst I rode to the Sound. We reached Powell's about three o'clock.

Wednesday 22. I was very alarming-seldom, if ever, have I felt more moved. We came away, and rode twenty-five miles, having nothing to eat from eight o'clock in the morning till six at night. My body was weak, but my soul was kept in peace. Knowing the obligations I am under to pay money to several persons to whom the college is indebted, my mind is much exercised, and I feel very heavily the weight of such responsibility. The Lord opened the heart of and I thankfully received the kindness as from God

and man.

MARYLAND.-Preached at Bowen's, and I trust the Lord was present; as also at the Lord's supper. We then hasted to the widow Paramore's, about nineteen miles: the people were moved whilst I exhorted them to come boldly to the throne of grace.

On Friday I met with an engaged people at Pernal's, and they appeared tender whilst I enlarged on "My grace is sufficient for thee." After meeting we rode to B.'s, nineteen miles.

VIRGINIA. Saturday, November 1. Attended a quarterly meeting at Garrettson-chapel-O how changed! A preacher absent nearly nine weeks from his circuit, failing to give proper notice of the quarterly meeting. Other persuasions are less supine; and their minister boldly preaches against the freedom of the slaves. Our brother Everett with no less zeal and boldness, cries aloud for liberty-emancipation.

Sunday 2. Brother Whatcoat preached, and I exhorted a little. My soul and body are deeply depressed. We rode fifteen miles that evening, and held meeting again.

Monday 3. Myself and the people were comforted at S.'s: we had a meeting in the evening.

Wednesday 5. I preached at the school-house, on Peter's denial of Christ: it was a time of refreshing-there were few present that did not feel the word. Spoke again in the evening at S―'s to a very unfeeling people.

Friday 7. Preached at the court-house, to many people, with liberty. We have had heavy riding; dust, heat, and fevers. Our meeting at Downing's almost overcame us with heat and fatigue.

MARYLAND.-At Annamessex quarterly meeting I was at liberty on Rev. iii. 20. Again I preached on "Fear not little flock," &c. most of our members in these parts have freed their slaves.

Wednesday 12. We had a precious season at the line chapel on Rev. "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire," &c. After meeting I rode to Broad-Creek. We have travelled little less than two hundred miles a week.

Thursday 13. At quarterly meeting I preached on "Thy teachers shall not be removed into a corner."

Friday 14. My subject was "Is my hand shortened at all that I cannot redeem, or have I no power to deliver ?"-there was some moving on the souls of the people. Rode twelve miles to L-'s, and preached at night on "Search the Scriptures."

DELAWARE.-After preaching at North West Fork, I rode twentyfive miles to quarterly meeting at E-'s: here we had a good

time. I preached at Johnson's, Todd's, and at the chapel. I feel myself weak, but the Lord is present.

Friday 21. I felt some power in speaking on Matt. xi. 5, 6. at Mr. K.-'s. We came on to Hooper's, where we had a time of refreshing.

Saturday 22, and Sunday 23. Attended quarterly meeting at William Frazier's: there was some quickening among the people each day.

We crossed Choptank to Bolingbroke-death! death! The second day of our meeting a great power went through the congregation, and a noble shout was heard among the people.

I was much led out at the Bay side. At Doctor Allen's I was greatly comforted after a wet ride of thirty miles.

I preached at Queenstown to a few people, who appear to be far gone in forgetfulness of God.

MARYLAND.I went to Kent-Island, and found about two hundred and fifty people, among whom were some of the rich and great: we had a good meeting. I then returned to Queenstown, and gave the citizens another rally; there were more to hear than before.

Saturday 29. I felt some power in preaching at Boardley's. We had a little move among the people at Choptank. My soul is kept in peace. In times past I have felt some disagreeable impressions on my mind about the college being burnt; now I have heard of an attempt to do it: but I trust the Lord will encamp about the house. We had a very good meeting at Dover, although the weather was very cold.-We had meeting again that night in town-I hope not in vain. Next day I rode to Dudley's church, QueenAnnes; and thence to Chester-Town, and preached on "Let us have grace whereby we may serve God acceptably, with reverence and godly fear."

Saturday, December 6. I had some freedom in preaching at Stillpond church, on "Simon, Satan hath desired to have you that he might sift you as wheat," &c.

Sunday 7. I preached at the widow Woodland's-was not in a good frame of body or mind. At Georgetown I felt still worse; and to crown all, I had a long dispute with Mr. B- about ordination and experimental religion.

Monday 8. Rode to Cecil court-house, and had, I trust, a profitable time. We crossed Elk-River to brother Ford's, and had a gracious meeting at his house.

Tuesday 9. We had a damp ride to Cokesbury, and found it was even as it had been reported to us :-au attempt had been made to burn the college by putting fire into one of the closets; but some of the students made a timely discovery, and it was extinguished. I stayed two days and expended more than £100, and felt my spirit tried. I put the young men to board in the college. -We have some promising youths among them for learning, but they want religion.

I came to Baltimore and found some tokens of the Divine presence, at the quarterly meeting, on Chron. xv. 8. “Thou canst save by many, or by those that have no might."

Monday 15. Came to Cromwell's and preached with some satisfaction. Thence I hasted to Annapolis, where the Lord was present while I declared "The Lord's hand is not shortened."

Tuesday 16. Rode to Weems's chapel, and preached with fervour on "Oh! Zion that bringeth good tidings," &c. Thence to Calvert quarterly meeting the weather was very cold, but there was some spiritual heat among the people.

VIRGINIA.-Friday 19. Rode thirty miles to Hoe's ferry; and thence to Pope's, about thirty miles more the weather is still excessively cold.

Sunday 21. I preached to a few tender souls at P-'s, on Isaiah xxix." Yet a very little while and Lebanon shall be a fruitful field." Tuesday 23. Had a few lively people at Woollard's. I read, write, pray, and ride; and hope to see much of the power of God on this journey.

Christmas day. I preached in the open house at Fairfield's, on Isaiah ix. 6. I felt warm in speaking-but there was an offensive smell of rum among the people.

Saturday 26. At the Presbyterian church in Lancaster, there was a divine stir in the congregation. Envy and disputation have been injurious to the work of God in these parts-O may the Lord yet help us and revive his work! I found our opposing the doctrine of final perseverance had given offence: a house of our own will alone fix us properly.

January 1, 1789. After waiting about two hours, the wind suddenly calmed, and I crossed Rappahannock and came to Cheesecake.

We had a comfortable meeting at R. M.'s, in Kingston, thence to B's; and afterward to D's, where, although I had an unfeeling audience, I had satisfaction in my own soul.

We came to James-City; where God has wrought a glorious work; as also in New-Kent county in the same circuit: a number of young people have been made the subjects of this grace.

Thursday 8. I had a most agreeable passage, for the season, across James-River.-Arrived at Mooning's about three o'clock, and found a lively people. Christians here appear to stand faithful, but sinners are not brought in.

Friday 9. Was a good day at Ellis's: my soul felt peace, and I was happy to find our old friends standing fast.

Saturday 10. We had a happy meeting at Lane's chapel. I went to the widow Lane's: I felt uneasy; but I found it needful for me to be there.

Sunday 11. Preached on " Kiss the Son," &c. and afterward rode fifteen miles to Moss's. They are a dear people at Lane's chapel : slavery is greatly on the decline among them.

Tuesday 13. An appointment had been made at Mabry's chapel, but the sleet and rain hindered the people from attending; so I preached at brother Theweett's to about six preachers, and as many members.

Wednesday 14. I had about three hundred hearers at the LowGround chapel: our brethren shouted whilst I enlarged on Isaiah lxiii. 1. I have felt very solemn for two or three days past, as though God would speak through me to the souls of the people.

Thursday 15. Rode to Moore's—had a dead, dull people-except those few who came from a distance. Crossed Roanoak, and arriving at the place of preaching a little after night, I spoke on "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people," &c.

NORTH CAROLINA.-Saturday & Sunday 17, 18. Preached at Whitaker's chapel, where we had a profitable time: I found God had been working, and that many souls had been awakened.

We came to J. -'s: in this neighbourhood the Christians are singularly devoted, but sinners yet stand it out. The Lord has begun to work on Sandy-Creek, in Franklin county, where twenty souls have been lately brought to God.-Came to Bemnet Hills, hungry and unwell. My soul enjoys much of God.

We had a shaking time at H's a sweet love-feast and sacrament. Thence I went to Pope's chapel: I came to G-'s.

Saturday 24. Rode to Kimborough's, twenty miles, where there were many people, and but little engagedness among them. After attending a few appointments on Tuesday 27, I crossed HawRiver, and rode twenty miles to brother Kennon's, in Chatham
