Proof that God Sent

Fri. 28 Aug 1778. The stewards of the societies met at St. Ives, a company of pious, sensible men. I rejoiced to find that peace and love prevailed through the whole circuit: those who styled themselves ‘my Lady’s Preachers’, [preachers of the Countess Huntingdon] who screamed, and railed, and threatened to swallow us up, are vanished away. I cannot learn that they have made one convert—a plain proof that God did not send them.
