Leeds

Sun 2 May 1779: Dr. Kershaw, the vicar of Leeds, desired me to assist him at the sacrament. It was a solemn season. We were ten clergymen and seven or eight hundred communicants. Mr. Atkinson desired me to preach in the afternoon. Such a congregation had been seldom seen there. But I preached to a much larger in our own house at five, and I found no want of strength.
