Enjoying Boston

1761 Thur 13 Aug.I took a walk through the town (Boston in England). I think it is not much smaller than Leeds; but, in general, it is far better built. The church is indeed a fine building. It is larger, loftier, nay, and rather more lightsome, than even St. Peter's at Norwich; and the steeple is, I suppose, the highest tower in England, nor less remarkable for the architecture than the height. The congregation in the evening was far more numerous than the day before; and I trust God fixed the arrows of conviction in not a few of their hearts.
We went forward, after preaching at a friend’s house, about nine miles from Boston.
