Castle Donington

Sat 17 Jul 1779: I preached at noon in Castle Donington; but in the open air, for there was no enduring the house. Yet they persuaded me to preach within at Nottingham in the evening; but the house was as hot as an oven. Sunday 18, I made shift to preach in the Room at eight; but at five I went to the cross. We had a London congregation—and all as well behaved as if they had been in Moorfields.
One who had left us to join the Quakers desired to be present at the love-feast; in the close of which, being able to contain himself no longer, he broke out and declared, he must join us again. I went home with him and, after spending some time in prayer, left him full of love and thankfulness.
