MARYLAND.-Sunday morning, Rode twenty miles to Pipe-Creek chapel, and preached to a large congregation.

Monday 21. Reached Mr. Gough's, where I spent two days: the weather was very warm; but for one hundred miles and upwards I have had it sufficiently agreeable.

Came to Abingdon-Our college is still without a cover, and our managers, as I expected, almost out of breath. I made but little stay, but hasted on to Philadelphia, and arrived there on the twenty-sixth, Saturday.

NEW-JERSEY.-Monday 28. I came to Trenton; and thence proceeded on to Brunswick. I was accidentally, or rather providentially, favoured with a ride in a carriage; else, I know not how I should have proceeded on my journey. I reached New-York on the thirty. first of August, having travelled three hundred and fifty miles since I left Bath, in Virginia.

NEW-YORK-I was taken ill, and was confined about eight days, during which time I was variously tried and exercised in mind. I spent some time in looking over my Journals, which I have kept for fifteen years back some things I corrected, and some I expunged. Perhaps, if they are not published before, they will be after my death, to let my friends, and the world see how I have employed my time in America. I feel the worth of souls, and the weight of the pastoral charge, and that the conscientious discharge of its important duties requires something more than human learning, unwieldy salaries, or clerical titles of D. D. or even bishop :-the eyes of all--both preachers and people, will be opened in time.

Saturday, September 17. It was a very solemn season at the ordination of brother Dickens to the eldership. I gave the charge from 1 Tim. ii. 10, 14. In the afternoon I preached to the people from these words, "Pray for us ;" and in the evening from "The world by wisdom knew not God: it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe." I met the society, and opened my mind to them on various subjects.

Tuesday 20. I rose with a sense of God upon my soul.

I have been a little grieved with letters from -: but it is in vain to look for more than man in the best of men: my witness is on high; and I shall have respect to my Great Shepherd in all things. After preaching on "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God," &c. and settling some temporal matters relative to the support of the stationed preachers, I left the city and came to Elizabethtown at seven o'clock I preached and had much liberty.

NEW JERSEY Friday 21. We dined at Amboy, and reached Monmouth at nigh.

Saturday 22. I preached with life and love at Leonard's the people here appear very lifeless. I have lately been much tried and much blessed.

Tuesday 26. I had many to hear at Potter's church, but the people were insensible and unfeeling.

Wednesday 27. I met with brothers P-s and Budd; we sailed over the bay to the sea, for the benefit of the air.

Thursday 28. Since this day week we have rode about one hundred and fifty miles over dead sands, and among a dead people, and a long space between meals.

Friday 29. I preached in a close, hot place, and administered the sacrament; I was almost ready to faint. I feel fatigued and much dispirited. We lodged at Freedom Lucas's, near Batskow, an honesthearted man. We shall see whether he will continue to be the same simple-hearted Christian he now is, when he gets possession of the estate which, it is said, has fallen to him in England.

NEW-JERSEY.-Sunday, October 1. We had a very large congregation; to whom I enforced "Look unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be saved."

Cape-May. We stopped at the Cape.-I find there is a great dearth of religion in these parts; and my spirit is clothed in sackcloth before the Lord.

Tuesday 3. At P. Cresey's we had a few cold hearers-the glory is strangely departed.

Thursday 5. There are a few pious souls at Gough's; but here also there is an evident declension. My soul is under deep exercise on account of the deadness of the people, and my own want of fervour and holiness of heart.

Friday 6. At Morris-River church I was warm and close on, "Lord, are there few that be saved?" The people were attentive to the word.

Sunday 8. At New-England Town we had a small house and large congregation; I had liberty in preaching on " By grace are ye saved through faith." Thence I proceeded to M-'s, where I had poor times. Next day I felt quite unwell for want of rest, so annoyed were we the night before.

Thursday 12. I was shut up in speaking on 1 Cor. i. 30. At Marfrey's we had many dull, prayerless people. We came to the widow Airs's; the mother and daughters are serious, and the son thoughtful. The weather is oppressively warm, and I feel weary and faint. I was much shut up at Bethel on 1 Pet. iii. 18. Three times have I been here, and always straitened in spirit.

Saturday 14. Came to Sand-Town: the weather very warm, and the people dull: I administered the sacrament, and rode away to Cooper's ferry, where we left our horses and crossed to the city : (Philadelphia) here I found brother Whatcoat, with whom I took sweet counsel.

PENNSYLVANIA.-Sunday 15. I had some energy in speaking, and at sacrament. In the afternoon it was a feeling time on "The Lord will give grace and glory."

NEW-JERSEY.-Monday 16. Rode to Holly, where I preached on "Come, ye blessed of my Father," &c.—and then at New-Mills on "Suffering affliction with the people of God."

At Burlington I enlarged on, "Neither is there, salvation in any other," &c.—these are not a zealous people for religion.

PENNSYLVANIA.-Wednesday 18. We returned to the city of Philadelphia. Next day I preached, and was close and pointed.

Friday 20. I was led to treat on the sufferings of God's people; as entirely distinct from those they endure in common with other men, and certainly unavoidable by all who are really alive to God. I found it necessary to change some official men; and to take proper steps in preparing to defray our church debt, which is now £500. I gave them a sermon on "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciif ye love one another."

ples,

Sunday 22. In the afternoon I left the city, and preached in the evening at Chester.

DELAWARE.-Monday 23. I rode forty-five miles to Dickenson's, in the Delaware State. Preached at Little-Creek, and then rode five miles to Dover, and preached in the court-house. I bless God for peace of mind, and communion with him.

Sunday 29. I had many to hear at Dover, and had power and liberty in speaking on Gal. i. 5.: we also had a good sacramental time. In the afternoon I spoke on the latter part of my text-how and what it was to suffer according to the will of God. Thence to Thomas White's, where I was closely employed.

Sunday, November 5. I preached at Cambridge on "We preach Christ crucified," &c. little light, and less heat. I was blessed in my own soul, and had liberty in preaching at M'Keels's in the afternoon, where there is some revival among the people.

Thursday 9. I rode to Mr. Bartholomew Ennalls's; the notice was short, and the congregation small; the word, nevertheless, reached some hearts. I crossed at Vienna, a dead and dark place for religion. Friday 10. We had more than I expected of hearers at Quantico chapel. Thence I went to Wycomico-River, and lodged at Captain

Conoway's, where we met with a kind reception. I feel the need of being more than ever given up to God. I preached in Curtis's chapel : our love-feast was lively: several holy women spoke of the perfect love of God.

Sunday 12. According to the custom of the place, I preached to accommodate them; my subject was Joshua xiv. 8.

Monday 13. I had about fifty hearers at Myles's chapel, where I preached a funeral sermon on Ezek. xxxvi. 25.

Tuesday 14. I crossed Pocomoke-River, and had some-enlargement in preaching at Melvin's.

VIRGINIA. Thursday 16. Rode to Paramore's. The winter comes on apace. I am at times beset with temptation; but sin is as hateful

to me as ever.

Friday 17. The weather was cold and rainy, so that there were but few people at the widow Burton's; among these there were some who enjoyed, and others panting after, the perfect love of God.

Sunday 19. I rode about twenty miles through the rain to Garrettson chapel, where about fifty whites, and as many blacks met me, to whom I preached with liberty.

Monday 20. I rode about forty-five miles; and on Tuesday preached at Snow-Hill to about one hundred people. Here I visited some prisoners under sentence of death; they were sunk down with fear and horror.

DELAWARE.-Friday 24. My soul has peace under sore temptation. I want to live from moment to moment under a sense of God.

Saturday 25. We had a cold, long ride to the sound. On Sunday we had an open house, and the weather was very cold; but my preaching was not all in vain: I spoke from these words, "I will give them a heart of flesh."

Monday 27. I rode thirty miles to Lewistown, very unwell. I preached at Shankland's, and the people were serious, but I was compelled to cease from speaking by a violent pain in my head, accompanied by a fever.

Tuesday 28. I preached in the court-house at Lewistown, and I trust the word went with some weight; the congregation was large. MARYLAND. I attended a quarterly meeting at William Frazier's, where I rested from travelling two days; the first day I spoke on "Fight the good fight of faith;" and on the second, "Look unto me, all ye ends of the earth, and be saved." My soul was blessed, although our meeting was cold; and our dwelling-house crowded with a dozen preachers, besides others.

Sunday, December 3. Preached at Tuckahoe chapel on "These shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal." I spoke again at widow Lyder's at four o'clock.

Monday 4. I rode to the bay-side through snow and hail, and met about one hundred people: this we owe to the revival of religion among them. Our return thence was through heavy roads. I stopped in my way at H. Banning's, whose wife felt conviction under my preaching three years ago.

Tuesday 5. I had a few people at Bolingbrook, and spent the evening with Colonel Burckhead, who wants to know the Lord; he opened his mind to me with great freedom and tenderness. Brother White says that five hundred souls have joined society in this circuit (Talbot) this year; that half that number profess to have found the Lord; and more than one hundred to have obtained sanctification; good news this if true.

At Barratt's chapel there was some move during the course of the quarterly meeting, especially at the love-feast. I rode in the evening to Dover, and preached on "so is every one that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God."

Friday 15. We had a heavy ride to queen Anne's chapel. I did not arrive there until near two o'clock. My soul melted for backsliders. I was much led out on Hos. xiv. 14.; and hope it will never be forgotten. We dined, and then rode to Newtown by sunset.

Sunday 17. A day of rest to my soul. I preached, and administered the sacrament in Newtown. They have a comfortable house for worship here, especially in the winter. Came to Worton chapel, and had some life in speaking to a few people.

We waited at the widow Frisby's for a boat to cross the Chesapeake bay; but none was to be had. We rode round the head of Elk River, and crossed the Susquehannah: we came in, after riding that evening in the rain and snow, with the wind in our faces, about twenty miles.

MARYLAND. Thursday 23. Reached the college; and on Friday went to Baltimore, where I was in great haste to settle the business of the book concern, and of the college.

Saturday 25. We called a meeting of the trustees, formed our constitution, and elected new members. I preached twice on the Sabbath, and ordained Woolman Hickson and Joseph Cromwell to the eldership. I met the trustees and adjusted the accounts. We find we have expended upwards of £2000; we agreed to finish two rooms, and to send for Mr. Heath for our president. On Tuesday I left town, and came to Annapolis about seven o'clock. Finding my
